I've just learned more about melee and throwing weapons in this thread than in years of playing the game.
 
Thanks chaps. Time to break out the cutlery.

Played this to death on my iPad; it's great fun. Quick to run through too, so it doesn't get boring.

Takedown seems like a good one.

Pratchett is a damn good writer. The Watch books (Guards, Guards, Men at Arms, etc) are the best of a great lot.

I thought it was the day before Xmas eve...
 

It's ace! Enjoy, you lucky man.

Prometheus. Great performances almost all round, superb special effects, best 3D I've seen, and some superb scenes.
 
However.
 
There is also some absolute shit; some things that I honestly felt like laughing at. Some bad scenes, and the occasional gaping wound of a plot hole. The cast is far too big for the film.

Crossed, by Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows.
 
Okay, we're all familiar with the worldwide plague that turns infected into ravening horrors, right? Been quite popular since 28 Days Later came out. Crossed is another one of those, except there's a difference. The infected aren't stupid. They're not mindless, and the infection seems to increase their capacity for evil. Yet they don't retain all of their mental capacity, either. So you now have a world mostly populated with creatively murderous evil bastards, and the few humans left alive are in even more trouble than your usual survivors.
 
I wasn't that enthusiastic, when I started reading it. Being a bit of a fan of this little horror sub-genre, I thought it was played out and used up, nothing left to do, nowhere left to go, nothing left to see. I was wrong. Mainly, what happens in these cases is the disease makes animals out of humans. The Crossed are much, much worse, thanks to their capacity for rape, torture, cannibalism, maiming, murder, torture, rape, maiming, torture and rape. They often indulge in all of these at the same time, on the same victim. Needless to say, it's a bit strong right from the off, and although I consider myself inured to violence, there is a scene or two that shocked me.
 
It's a quite inventive (even if the only invention is in the different ways people are killed) series, and as always with Ennis, contains more than one inappropriate laugh, and yet manages to feel very bleak throughout. Harsh, but good stuff.
 
Read the first issue for free, all nice and legal.
 
Trade Paperback.

With a sudden change in temperament in the last few years, and what seems to be an increase in quality, all of a sudden I find myself watching television.
 
Even better than the first season, impeccably directed, incredibly acted, quite possibly the best series I've seen all year.
 
What happens if you make a comedy series informed by horror films, which mocks every trope and convention the genre has? You get Scream Queens. Not really scary, just very funny.

My ring tone.

Massive 2K Games deal.

You can always buy it and play on it later.

Isn't it now a 'dwarf planet' or something?
 
Cue more screams of "Everything you were taught in school is a lie"
