Wanted to play something different for a change and had a sudden urge to play the original Turok games. Was about to plug in the old N64 but just checked steam quickly and both 1 and 2 are on there. I had many hours of classic entertainment last night. No matter what anyone thinks, I still believe ...

Yeah Saints are legit. The defense is actually pretty good. Seahawks will be in there one way or another, only a game back from Rams but have already beaten them away and have an easier schedule. Think they go 11-5 at least from here. The win this week over the Redskins was really big. Score 15 una...

Loved Marvel/Netflix' The Punisher TV show. Nailed it in my opinion. The standard of these Marvel/Netflix shows has been pretty good. Daredevil S2 and JJ S1 were the two season's I thought were absolute brilliant, with DD S1 being great then Defenders being good but left the true team up stuff a bit...

I hope it doesn't take about a decade for me to realise the 1 is in the negative space and not the shooshy red bit.

eads up because, again, a game I enjoyed it on Games with Gold on XBL. Tales from the Borderlands, which we discussed a wee while ago is free to download. It's Telltale's style of mostly being an interactive movie but it has the crass, juvenile humour of Borderlands (mileage may vary on if that's a ...

The Saints are now starting to look really scary. The have Brees as the last decade, two great running backs and now they seem like their D is, at worst, pretty solid. I'm thinking NFC playoffs may be something like: Saints, Rams, Eagles, Vikes as 4 division winners and the wildcard slots to 2 of Pa...

Wow, having a gun held to your head must be something else... Pretty bloody scary stuff. Didn't JB or part of his crew get involved in an incident similar a few years ago? Surely the FiA or FOM or circuit (not sure who would/should be the one) knows this was a relatively high risk potential and coul...

Man, the Kimi vs Lewis when the rain started coming on was something else. Short, but so damned exciting to watch two guys who were two of the best then going hell for leather and really pushing it in some tricky conditions. The trouble with the rule was it's not clear what constitutes giving up the...

Well, I had an absolute blast going down to London this weekend. Just got back into my own flat. The tickets we got were right behind the endzone (the Browns marked one) so I saw the Thielen and Rudolph TDs up close. McKinnon's TD and 2 pointer were right up the opposite end, and it was a bit hard t...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt-3KT6ktHU F1 Youtube channel really has gotten rather good lately. They just put up this video that I found very interesting. It's like a nice 10 minute documentary about the race. Anyway, thought I'd share for anyone who doesn't check the F1 youtube page or wants t...

The grid isn't big enough. You need a lot more than 20ish grid slots for this. NFL has about 1700 positions on teams, and the chances of injuries hampering or ending a career are pretty considerable compared to F1. What would a team that wants to keep both drivers do? If I'm Red Bull, do I want a dr...

mac_d

The more the better. Why it's not a priority for Liberty to actually fill the grid I don't know. I don't understand why all the enforced barriers to entry. Anyone that turns up with a car that meets the regs should be able to try and compete. http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user...

I tried Discovery but found the first episode to be a bit flat. Having said that though I have it on good authority that it comes into its own by episode 3 so I will go back to it. The Orville seems to be more Trek than Trek so I will be continuing with that and would recommend it to all. However t...

Life is Strange is £4 on Xbox Live this week. Fantastic game (though it's almost more of an interactive movie style than game style if you know what I mean). Great story telling. I already have the game but thought it was worthy of a mention.

Bought the new Madden. The story mode addition is a bit of a weird one. Suppose it makes this slightly more of a new game than the £50 roster update that it can often seem like. Also had a fair few glitches of having my QB get stuck on a RB or lineman before the play so you can't do anything but tak...

I think Brazil. Vettel will be within 50 points going in, but not within 25 coming out.

Just bought Vikes tickets. Got an email saying more tickets were available, texted my buddy who is now some big time city lawyer in London and he's up for the game and letting me sleep on his couch. This is a good day so far.

Netflix got the new Star Trek show. I quite like a bit of Star Trek. I don't much care for TOS, but like the TOS movies. I really liked TNG but don't rate the TNG movies. I liked Voyager, despite it's considerable flaws. DS9 was a brilliant show. Slow burn in it's first year but probably the best ov...

I came in to this topic yesterday expecting to see Bobby Heenan - you've posted wrestlers before Placid. I love me a bit of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Top notch at being a manager and an announcer, never saw him when he was actually a wrestler. I knew he'd been ill for a long time, as Placid demonstr...

I am going to stay offline for a while, I'm nowhere near good enough to race with anyone, and even then, avoiding collisions isn't easy, especially with my tendency to try and brake later than everyone which causes them too. :lol: I played online with some of the folks from this forum a few years a...

I had totally forgotten this early game... quire pleased to see that i got some goox points out of Gillislee. Not so pleased that my opponent has Elliott who they are letting play tge first game before he starts serving his 6 game suspension. How/why does the suspension start game 2??? I thought it...

The glorious period where F1 and NFL overlap is upon us. I'll be staying up to watch some of the game tonight. Hopefully it is a good one. Not a great start for Brady:( Are you braced for 10 days of every single sports talk show, every show on NFL network and every NFL game that has a lull asking i...

Avanti means "go" or "forward" or "onwards" if I recall (google translate suggests it to "forward", but I think it is more in a "forward to the next challenge" than a "go 3 steps forward" type thing. Is Fer short for Ferrari here?

I don't really care either way. It seems mostly pointless to me. The upsides and the downsides of changing the colour of the halo of the WDC leader is very minor in my eyes. I would have to think though, most people who are at a Grand Prix are going to know who the WDC leader is. And if you are watc...

F1 2017 has a glitch whereby if you are McHonda in career mode, engine power upgrades will not actually apply to your car.

Lots of build up, very little real pay off.

I don't see the benefit of this. When the marshals are on track the aim is to go sufficiently slow and bunch everyone up to give them time to sort everything out. I suppose on the lap where the SC is coming in that going a bit faster might be of slight benefit but this seems like (as F1 MERCENARY me...

Basically have just sat on my fat pickle today watching Defenders. Pretty good. Not as good as Daredevil 1/2 or JJ. Not hard to follow the motivations and back stories for Luke Cage/Iron Fist so that was good. They do a good job of having a good evil villain plan without it being so big that you'd h...

Do I need to have watched Iron Fist and Luke Cage to enjoy it do you think? I watched all but one of the Luke Cage episodes and never got started with Iron Fist (loved DD and JJ).

Since I cannot get away from it and have decided I might as well be on the inside rather than the outside, I finally watched Game of Thrones. It's okay, I enjoyed what I've seen much more than I expected to. Emilia Clarke is not great. I really don't think she is a good actress. However, almost ever...

While I always have reservations about buying each iteration of sports games, from what I've seen of F1 2017, I rather like the look. From what I was able to see from youtube - one of the channels I subscribe to (TiamatMarduk) got access for a few hours to it, I must say I like what they are doing. ...

Chop the wheels, add anti-gravity, stick a jet engine at the back and you got something like F-Zero or Wipeout. For my eyes, lovely. In general anyway, I like the side shots of the Ferrari/McLaren but not the Williams which is fully side on profile. Not sure about practicality of not having a high a...

/Still loving F1 2016. The only thing kinda annoying is that for my skill level Hard is a little too easy but the one up from it leaves me no where. I'm in the Manor and I've pretty much won the championship with races to spare. I wanted a more realistic experience with building up the car or moving...

I missed this thread the first time it came around.

What a glorious video. The greatest race track that the world has ever known.

I missed it first time too. Can't watch the whole thing just now but I'll have a watch later.

Formula 1: I got into the sport in late 1996 because of Damon Hill. Being Scottish, I had some BS nationalism behind supporting DC for years. But I also just quite like DC. Pedro De La Rosa - not sure why really, but I really liked Super Pedro. I don't really have any favourites in the sport anymore...

Like many, I see Kimi in the seat. I don't see Ferrari and Alonso getting back together. Bottas and Hamilton will both stay at Mercedes. Vettel is already in a Ferrari. Verstappen and Ricciardo are both contracted. So I'd say the best of the available drivers would be Hulkenberg and Perez. While the...

With the sad death of Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, I've been listening to Linkin Park all day. My all time top 4 bands are probably Staind (who probably most remember as a 1-2 hit wonder band), Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park and Queen. I was too young to know about music when Freddie Mercury die...

Chester Bennington, of nu-metal/rock/other music band Linkin Park seemingly killed himself earlier in the day. He was only 41. I've been a huge fan of Linkin Park for over 15 years and this has saddened me.
