Epic. Absolutely loved it.

If I can play more than one, and if you don't mind a Newbie, I'll take a spot.

Most people usually ask for advice in terms of balance, and share info with more experienced game runners. I have no real interest in the theme so I probably wouldn't sign up and take a spot away from a fan, so if you want some advice and feedback and such, I'd be happy to help.

If you have no interest in the theme then I don't think I want to be friends with you...

I'd like to try my hand at running a mafia.

Players: 13

Theme: Parks and Recreation

Is there a guide for game mods?

I'm happy to join in again.

Jesus Christ.

And Sunday Supplement also mentioned that Cantona was suspended by the club after the kung fu kick, so that's at least one bit of Fergies hypocrisy disproved.

I think the point was that he kept him at the club after the incident, whilst Fergie is calling for Suarez to go. So I wouldn't say it disproves anything. Cantona was still a cock, he was just a better footballer than Suarez is.

Suarez racially abused a player and then refused to shake his hand.

Cantona attacked a racist fan.

Not exactly comparable, are they?

Just been told about something by a friend who watched the game, that I've not seen picked up on any of the news channels following the game. Apparently Rio Ferdinand actually snubbed Suarez? Is this true?

He did, after the Suarez/Evra non-handshake. It was certainly mentioned by Sky in their half-time/post-match analysis, and I thought MOTD covered it too.

And as I type this, Sunday Supplement are discussing that.

This whole "Evra refused to shake hands, not Suarez" thing is ludicrous. I can't believe the lengths some Liverpool fans will go to shift the blame away from their club.

So.... how 'bout this weather?

Are there any plans for another newbie Mafia? I'd like to get involved, because the ones I've read through look like fun. Angry, bitter, paranoid fun.

It's even worse with mobile phones. Obviously the audience needs to be able to see what's on a reasonably small handheld device, so you often get "INCOMING CALL - TED" in massive letters, taking up the entire screen.

I got the game yesterday (Xbox 360 version) and I've already noticed a lot of glitches.

The ones I can remember, just from today:

• I tried to hit the 619 with Rey, who ran into the wrong set of ropes and then was stuck running on the spot until I quit the match
  
• Whipped Triple H into the guard rail, who somehow squeezed into the crowd and then had to squeeze back to the ringside area
  
• During a ladder match, Christian fell through the ring and then appeared, prone, on the canvas
  

Have I got a dodgy copy, or is the game just a bit buggy ATM?

Guardiola left to take over Spain, and it doesn't look like he's spent any money in the 3 seasons I've played.

A few more suggestions, just throwing them out there:

Twin Peaks

Six Feet Under

Battlestar Galactica

Band of Brothers

The X-Files

Seinfeld

The Larry Sanders Show

Curb Your Enthusiasm

The Simpsons (maybe not from season 1)

NewsRadio

Sportsnight

And a few UK shows, to balance out the American stuff. Shorter seasons too, which might be good:

Edge of Darkness

State of Play

Ultraviolet (not sure how easy it is to get hold off)

Red Riding

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy / Smiley's People

I think we should probably avoid hour long dramas that went like, 6+ series. At least at first. If anyone doesn't enjoy them and decides to sit that show out, it'll be a long ass time before they can join back in.

We could just do a season at a time, as a rule.

That was my assumption. Watch the first season, then maybe come back for S2 if there's enough interest.

I like most of the suggestions so far, particularly these:

First watch

Shameless

Californication

Justified (need to finish season 1, so I may as well watch it again from the first ep)

Game of Thrones

Re-watch

Firefly

Veronica Mars

Arrested Development

The Wire

Are we going to vote on which shows we kick off with?

Shows I'd like to nominate (because I have them and haven't watched them yet)

My So-Called Life

Freaks and Geeks

The West Wing

24

Huff

Friday Night Lights

King of the Hill

And for re-watches, I'd love to do Deadwood all over again.

Haven't seen Firefly for a long time, so I'd be up for a rewatch.

Can't see it, just got 'Store Library New Community' at the top but no menu bar or anything?

It's not dead, just very busy, and having a hard time coming up with different rulesets.

Since I've missed the sign-ups, I'll give you a hand if you like.

After watching a few episodes, I cannot get into the Buffy series at all. I don't know what it is, I just cannot get into it.

I rewatched the first few episodes recently and thought there were good, but it definitely does take a while to get going.

I would suggest skipping straight to S02E03, "School Hard" to see if that has any more of an impact.

Young has settled in brilliantly, and the "second string" defence was fantastic. Smalling might be as much of a bargain as Hernandez was.

Did Del Rio's entrance in the last game have Ricardo Rodriguez doing the intro?

Screw it, I'll go ahead and do a roster prediction since the reveal is on Saturday. Last year's game shipped with 66 playable characters on the disk, plus it's been said that Hurricane was intended to be playable and Carlito was still buried on the disk somewhere. So I'm gonna use a cap of 68.
