  1. Seconded. It's got a massive, massive world to play around in (just picking off all the Elite Marks was a game in itself frankly) and I thought the story was nowhere near as bad as people make out. I mean, yeah, Vaan becomes kinda pointless quite early on but meh.
  2. Yeah, I was a big fan of XII just because there was so MUCH that you could do. Also, I actually quite liked the story although the decision to make Vaan the lead at the start was a bit perplexing.
  3. I can't decide whether to join the Stormcloaks or the Imperial Legion. On the one hand I feel like I should honour my heritage as a proud Nord. On the other hand, Ulfrik seems like a bit of a twat. Does your decision actually affect the game much, or am I just better off ignoring both of them as I'm currently doing?
  4. Roll on indeed. Have a good one.

  5. Yeah, I'd absolutely agree with that. There are two or three scenes in particular which are utterly disturbing - those parts are an extremely uncomfortable viewing experience but which make the film very powerful. I am completely squeamish about violence, but I really enjoyed the film.
  6. Has anyone else encountered the while travelling in and around Whiterun? Fucking amazing.
  7. She was auditioning for a contract which, if she fulfilled it, would be worth one million pounds. Even if she only made it to 1 album, she'd get 20k. I'd bloody want her to remember the words for that kind of money. Age really isn't a good enough excuse.
  8. Really? Marcus to me will have the exact same problem Joe McElderry had after the show: namely that he's undeniably popular (and more than a little bit fit...) but his voice is just extremely bland. Technically, he can sing brilliantly, but if I was in SyCos A&R department I would be really panicking about how on earth they could fill up a commercially viable album for him. Any of the other four, they would have no problem whatsoever, but Marcus is just far too bland. If there was any justice, the final three would be Little Mix, Mischa and Amelia. It somewhat astounds me that given her extremely natural stage presence, her eye for style and the way since week fucking one she has just "got it", Mischa isn't the runaway favourite to win this series. I think nevertheless that girl is going to sell a fuckload of albums.
  9. Fucking yes! I've been looking to pick this up for ages, but couldn't be arsed to pay stupid amounts for it on Ebay. Brilliant.
  10. Thanks C.

    And I actually did see this on the day, but thought I'd carry on the tradition. Roll on June '12!

  11. Happy birthday yet again.

    And happy belated birthday for when you see this in another month...

  12. 1) The Book of Revelation (it is the topic of my PhD, so it's only fair it's fairly high up. If you're going to grapple with any biblical book, you'd do well to approach this with an open mind. But again, I'm biased.) 2) Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie 3) To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee 4) Sharp Teeth by... I forgot... but it's an excellent book 5) The Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao 6) The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis 7) The Testament of Gideon Mack by John Robertson 8) The Epic of Gilgamesh (sorry for cluttering this with ancient texts, but it is a phenomenal story) 9) Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susannah Clark 10) Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks.
  13. The frustrating thing about that episode, I thought, was Gwyneth Paltrow. I think the character is awesome, and I actually think she fits in with the show far better than I could have ever hoped (mainly cause I cannot *stand* her normally), but I just hope she becomes a regular or semi-regular character. Because they only have her for one-shot episodes, she almost has to be the focal point of the show. Which is a shame, because she has such a good chemistry with the characters that she would work brilliantly by just taking a back seat. That aside, Santana and Britney were once again amazing last night, and Burt continues to be phenomenal.
  14. I have to say that episode was absolutely amazing, and FINALLY got the show back on form after a fairly haphazard set of episodes to start the season off. The music was brilliant, classic Glee fodder with Teenage Dream obviously being the real highlight. Surely Chris Colfer has an Emmy coming his way in the near future. He's always been incredible at getting this character across but with the stuff with his dad and now last night's episode, he's just knocking it out of the park. Amazing.
