    Watched episode 3 today. Great season so far. I really like where there going with this.

    Pretty much this.

    ***Some spoilers for the comics in here too***

    I like the Governor, I think they've nailed his character. Now let's just see how dark/evil they'll make him. I really hope they bring his zombie daughter into the picture. That pilots head was in one of the tanks at the end, hopefully his body has been fed to his daughter. I doubt they'd go down the rape/torture route.

    The ambush scene on the soldiers was the only part that annoyed me, they put up no fight. I know it was an ambush but not one of them reacted.

    I wonder what part Daryl's brother will play. He no doubt wants revenge on Rick, maybe he will be the one to chop off Ricks hand as some kind of retribution for handcuffing him to the roof? That's if they actually chop off Ricks hand.

    I've just bought The Walking Dead Compendium 2 on Amazon. REALLY looking forward to seeing where the comics go next!

    Haha, great choices. Did you ever play Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts on the 360? It wasn't a great game really really, but if you never played it (or didn't get very far) you're in for a treat when you hear these...

    Haha cheers for those! Nah, I never played Nuts & Bolts, just didn't want to ruin Banjo-Kazooie by playing it (I heard it wasn't that great). Shame really because I would have loved another BK game like the originals. Damn you Rare!

    And Pogo, JSR has one of the best soundtracks ever. Listen to it from time to time at work!

    Some more!

    Love the Mirrors Edge Main Theme, it had some great ambient music on some levels too:

    Guild Wars 1 & 2, these soundtracks bring back some very fond memories of GW1, I hope 2 gives me more!

    Jeremy Soule is just awesome.

    Quote from PogoP

    Yeah the new series of Walking Dead is amazing, really enjoying it. Last season may have well just been renamed to 'WHATS GOING ON AT THE FARM'.

    One thing that annoys me about this show is when Rick is shooting stuff. He does this ridiculous arm flail when he fires his pistol to give a sense of recoil. Just looks weird

    Haha true, though the farm did have some interesting parts

    Quote

    Like when they were in that bar and they had that stand off with the bandits (super tense scene that was before they started shooting). I loved the scene where they tried to pull that bloated zombie out of the well, when it split in half was disgustingly beautiful!

    and of course the barn scene when they freed the zombies to kill them.

    So it wasn't all bad I don't think

    But yes, this season so far has been awesome!

    Quote

    When Rick embedded his machete into that guys skull... just awesome

    Quote

    Awesome film though, aside from Joseph Gordon-Levitt's distracting eyebrows.

    ಠ_ಠ

    Haha yes! I did notice how big and bushy they were. Why were they like that?!

  • Favourite video game music!

    Hey all,

    Just sat here listening to the Fallout 3 soundtrack and I was wondering what some of your favourite video game soundtracks are?

    A few of mine are:

    Looper. among my top 5 favorite films now

    The scene

    Yeah that scene was very well done. Looked horrifying! Though some parts in the film kind of didn't make sense.

    Quote

    Like throughout the film they kept showing Bruce Willis remember his young self do/think things just after he has done them. Surely when his younger self had realised how that kid saw his mom die and how it would send him down the bad path he would have realised too and not shot the kid/his mom?

    I dunno, I guess his younger self shooting himself in the chest didn't really give him chance to react. Was a great scene though

    Still watching the same TV series, Walking Dead has to be my favourite at the moment though

  • Battlefield 3

    Apart from this colour grading stuff I've not heard of anything else really.

    I've not seen that colour grading comparison before but damn it makes a big difference. There's probably too much colour there which probably goes to show they wanted to used the colour correction all along, but I hate how the tropical island, Wake Island, is grey and dreary when in reality it'd be quite colourful and lush.

    I wish games had more colour in them these days.

  • The Hobbit

    I need to get those extended LOTR blu-rays. It's gotta have been over a year since my last LOTR sessions so I think I'm due another viewing. From the trailers it looks like it's going to be great. Dare I say it might even be better

  • Battlefield 3

    I also don't have a problem with the way BF3 looks. I still think it looks great. Sure, real life never looks like that, but the eye candy is superb in BF3.

    I've not played it much myself since GW2 came out, played a few rounds with my brother the other day and it's still a lot of fun. I'll probably pick it up again soon, barely touched Armoured Kill and I like the look of the maps in that.

  • The Hobbit

    Short TV spot.

  • Magnificent short movies

    Quote from Thrik

    lol, this is fabulously weird.

    Haha I loved the characters and the art style in this

    Bachelor thesis from a couple of friends (including kiiia who doesn't post here too often anymore )

    And this was just beautiful. Want to make a game in that world!
