  1. Like how every shot from the trailer to Pacific Rim happens in the first five minutes of the movie (which are a flashback)? More films & shows should do that.
  2. The Strap match is Caribbean if one of the Wrestlers in it is. If there are no Caribbeans in the match, it's American. But not as American as a good ol'fashioned TEXAS BULLROPE MATCH. Or, y'know, a Tennessee Bullrope Match, or Oklahoma bullrope match. Or Winnipeg Bullro... no. Then again, how is a Chicago Street Fight different from a New York Street Fight, or a Hollywood Backlot Brawl?
  3. I have a friend called Richard Gaunt. His name at school was Dick Cunt. The guys at my school who had nicknames were all guys who had boring regular names, names they shared with other kids in the same class or school year. Everyone called Robert was known by the English generic nickname ( first syllable of surname, plus Y). Gizmo was called Gizmo because he looked like Stripe from Gremlins, and whoever named him remembered the wrong character name. Tenthead was called Tenthead because someone though his hair made his head look like a tent*. Felcher was called Felcher because his surname was Fletcher, and because everyone hated him for being an ass-sucking shitbrain**. And somehow someone knew what felching was***. Tubby was called Tubby because he was fat (his friends lacked imagination). Bodders was called Bodders because he originally hated it when people called him Bodkin. We had a teacher who called all children Bodkin because she couldn't remember names, and he wouldn't shut up about how much he hated it, so everyone started calling him it all the time. * A Dome tent. So he should have been called Domehead really. And he may have been inventing Bieber hair over a decade before Beiber was even born. ** Left school 24 years ago. Still not prepared to forgive the twat. *** But nobody really should. Apparently it's not even a real thing, it's more of a thing that homophobes (of the self-hating closeted variety) think gay people do, but no gay person has ever met anyone who's actually into it.
  4. The Jaguars inept? That's impossible! They're owned by the same guy who thought Felix Magath was the man to keep Fulham in the premiership!
  5. I thought the rights reverted to James Cameron in a couple of years? Meaning Paramount can't make as many as they like. They can make this trilogy, or nothing else. This movie is the Corman Fantastic Four of the Terminator universe.
  6. He thought W*ING Kanemura was a jobber?
  7. No, just up the side of the freeway. Facing the oncoming lane, because that's how I do it; We drive on the left in England. Technically I was going towards Sandy Shores airport, but I never bothered to get all the way there. The one time I tried to go to the Airport to wheelie was the first day Daily Objectives started, and I was in an open session. There was a guy on a roof somewhere shooting every vehicle he saw with homing launchers, so my bike went boom. And then I happened to mention out loud that the Airport was a warzone, and immediately Havoc and Wardy were all "Keep them there! We're on our way!". And that was that for daily objectives, for a week or so.
  8. You can't join the Unsullied as an adult. Trained since birth and that. That's why it's a big deal that Daenerys takes all of the Unsullied into her command and frees them, and marches them away from Astapor... because that's the entire fighting force, the entire garrison that protects the city. You also wouldn't want to join the unsullied as an adult. They're all eunuchs. Hence Daenerys and Missandei not understanding why one would go to a brothel. If it was the same actor, he was clearly playing a different character. Hmmm... EDIT: On second though, best remove the second video. This is why you should always watch the whole thing before posting the youtube link. Can't be having the nudity on the board. Although why it's still on youtube is a mystery to me, usually the guys who post GoT scenes edit the boobies out, so they don't get removed for terms of service. They just get removed for copyright violation eventually. Very eventually. He's gained a lot of muscle. I think it's a different guy entirely.
  9. Sanchez in most of them. I tried the Thrust in one, but it's hard to find a straight line long enough. I respond to Faggios the way Cris and Havoc respond to Pantos. Terminate on sight.
  10. When they say 'Do a wheelie for ten seconds' do they specifically mean in Freemode? Because I solo'ed about five bike races and did wheelies for twenty, thirty seconds at a time and it never dropped. Went into an invite only and cruised up the freeway on one wheel of the Sanchez, and it gave it to me. Only when I was in side view and could see the front wheel was nowhere near the ground the whole time though. I'd wheelied for ages prior to that without it giving it to me.
  11. If Marvel continues to get the 'Do whatever you like' from the TV industry, I could see them actually doing a Damage Control mini-series or something. Don't see that anyone else would go that route... anyone who pitched an idea like that to a Hollywood studio would come out with it re-developed into something like the Adjustment Bureau. Or a Steven Seagal movie where he's an insurance adjuster, but used to be a Special Forces mercenary killer.
  12. I got my third 7xDaily objective bonus last night. 22 days after I started doing them, 16 after getting my first 7 day bonus. I did get the second one on the Sunday though. Kill a player while off the radar is one that can be easy, or can be nightmarish. Depends on who you're going for, and if they bought a friend or two. It's best to find a scrum and pick someone off on the outskirts of it... or just aim for the lowest level in the room. I've decided Seige Mentality is a rubbish game mode though. The team balancing only works if you have the exact right number of people for the map... if you have to defend three angles with two people, and you have every possible weapon except prox mines? Not good. And Sawn-Off shotguns seem to do a lot of damage from quite long range sometimes. Hasta la Vista is a lot of fun, but you can only do it with 4 guys, and that hurts it. It's set to first to win 4, and you only get one go because someone rage quits.
  13. I've not played Last of Us, but it's on the to do list. I've seen a couple of youtubes of the early bit of the game, and after that opening scene, they bring up the "... years later" caption, and that pissed me off. Surely a videogame would be the ideal medium to have a story that rather than being another post-apocalyptic "...later" storyline, is actually about surviving the apocalypse? About trying to live in a society that hasn't collapsed completely, but is collapsing? Where the rule of law is in the process of devolving into a pure darwinian nightmare, but has not yet? Because if you want to have a story that's all Moral Choices and Good Intentions on the road to hell, a god game would be it. Where if you start robbing and looting as soon as the game starts, you get arrested because the police are still functioning... and it's all about when you decide to stop buying things using money and start using force. I think that might be more interesting than another 'Here's the first chapter, where we see the start of the collapse of modern society, and here's the rest of the game, in a completely collapsed society, with nothing in between. So like a game that's a cross between the Sims or a law abiding version GTA to begin with, and only becomes a Sandbox survival later.
  14. Hmmm, maybe. The one time I had 'mod a car' I just stole a Baller, drove it to LS Custom, and put a new exhaust on it before I sold it (for very slightly more than $9000).
  15. The thing with Dominic West is, he turned down playing Mance because he didn't want to film in Iceland for a month. But then a couple of months later he did a Charity walk to the South Pole with Prince Harry and some Invictus games guys (wounded warriors in US parlance. Injured ex-servicemen). He said Prince Harry's iPod is full of 'that music soldiers like. Y'know, heavy thrash metal'. Why did they drop the Valonquar bit from Cersei's prophecy? That's the most important part of it, no?
  16. If I had the choice between being double foot stomped by Kevin Sullivan or Senton'ed onto by Bray Wyatt, I'd want Sullivan to do it. Wyatt's not all that un-credible. He's just not incredible enough either. Has Roman Reigns retired the apron hanging jumpkick spot? Because on RAW he has Show set up for it, and he just Superman punched him instead. Can't remember the last time he did it, actually. And he's the last guy who should be taking spots out of his moveset.
  17. Yes, but then they'd have had to fill that time with something else, like Wrestling matches or something. And that's not what Vince likes to do.
  18. They can't read, they don't know it's spelled Ser.
  19. They only cast three Sand Snakes. Even though Oberyn said in the show he has eight daughters. See that thing in the other thread, where people were talking about episode spoilers leaking out? Wouldn't it be funny if it was non-readers thinking they were getting revenge by saying things they think readers don't know... but we do? Like, Hey, you book readers think you know everything, but you didn't know Arya's training to be a Faceless Man now, did you? You didn't know Jon gets made Lord Commander, and then is literally stabbed in the back by his brothers! You didn't know Daenerys opens the fighting pits, and Jorah has to fight in them. They'd never say that last one. Most people who haven't read the book think she's called Khaleesi, and even the ones who know she's called Daenerys could never spell it right. They think Jorah's name is Sir Friendzone as well.
  20. Been rewatching season 4 all day. The ending to episode 8 is still shocking, even after you've seen it. Even if you knew exactly what was going to happen 12 years ago. Still shocking.
  21. I did Cop Station with Randoms once and delivered the bus timetable while they were still driving around the city trying to lose their wanted level. Me and other cop got into my Zentorno and drove up after them to kill cops, running a distraction like (it was harder because we only had pistols and pump shotguns... I thought we'd get our own guns back after finishing, but we didn't). It took so long and we killed so many that we got Platinum and Gold for it, when usually the Cop Station guys always get Bronze and Silver, what with only having to kill 2 guys and all. EDIT: It sucks when you've got 'Deliver a car to Simeon' as a Daily Objective and you're in one of those lobbies where every car is an Issi or a Tornado. Although thinking about it, the best/easiest possible stack of Dailies is Simeon Car, Mod a Car, Lose two stars. Because you can't do the first without doing the other two. Has anyone unlocked any Chrome wheels yet? I didn't know that was even a thing. I might have to spam captures to get the easy ones. Luke's been wondering around in the I've Got 30 Custom Vehicles shirt for weeks and I never realised.
  22. Everyone's forgotten that Gina Carano was in Fast & Furious 6. I mean, she wasn't exactly memorable or anything, but she was there. She turned heel at the end and everything. Fuck spoiler tags.
  23. Why do Chevrolet sponsor Man U? You can't even buy a Chevrolet in Manchester! (Apparently there are about 25 abandoned Chevrolets in the car park at Man U's training ground. Nobody knows why lol).
  24. It's the authoritarian personality type, isn't it? If you don't have an authoritarian personality, it won't make sense, because it's in your nature to ask why, or why should I, or I'd need to see that in writing, or what did you say your name was again, or you need to speak to my superior about that sort of thing. If you have an authoritarian personality, it's in your nature to say Yes Sir. Authoritarian people make terrible bosses, you know. Good subordinates (if you like people who are massive arse kissers) but terrible bosses.
