    Season 2 of Sunderland Till I Die on Netflix. It's a documentary series following the fortunes of the real life Sunderland FC from the north of England. Following on from Season 1 where the team were relegated from the 2nd tier of English football and bought out by new owners, Season 2 sees...

    What are you currently playing?

    Vikings: Wolves of Midgard It's a Diablo style action RPG with a Norse myth story. Not the greatest game ever made but if you just want to mindlessly kill various mythological creatures and humans by the hundreds it does the job. Only negative I have is the hit detection is a bit iffy at times...

    Game of Thrones post-mortem

    If you're referring to the Long Night episode I watched that on a good size 4K tv, that's set up to have the best picture possible, in a completely dark room and still couldn't make out what the hell was going on. That was the point I tapped out. The show had been building up to that battle for...

    Why is bullying so prevalent in Australian society?

    Are you suggesting we should bully Australia in order to prevent more bullying?

    What's your opinions on the movie Troy 2004 with Brad Pitt?

    Went to see it in the cinema when it came out. Perfect big screen movie. Was fairy enjoyable but the lack of the supernatural elements was slightly annoying. A bit like the King Arthur movie that came out around the same time I remember watching Troy thinking "Bloody hell Jesse Ventura is...

    Is professional wrestling the most powerful martial art?

    If dancing involved more body slamming people from the top of a ladder and through a table I'd be a regular attendee of the ballet

    How much does product placement ruin your immersion?

    Doesn't really bother me at all. If your movie/tv show/game etc is set in a real world location then it makes sense to have real world brands. As long as it's not ridiculously blatant like the spoof product placment in Waynes World kind of levels

    Should sequels be phased out in favor of continuous updates?

    Isn't this the "Games as a service" model publishers like Ubisoft are pushing for? Anything big publishers are in favour of is probably something we should oppose out of principle. That said it could work for annual sports titles like FIFA and Madden that are little more than a roster update...

    Am I the only one who doesn't enjoy multiplayer games anymore?

    I've pretty much stopped playing online multiplayer as well. Used to play a fair bit in the 360 gen, mostly CoD, Gears of War and a bit of Halo. Over the years though I've just lost interest. Titanfall 1 was probably the last game I played online for any significant length of time. Most games...

    Things you used to love that you now hate

    Cider - The alcoholic variety I should specify. Used to drink it all the time when I was younger. At some point though it stopped agreeing with me. Even the smell of it now is enough to turn my stomach Online multiplayer - I don't know if I'd ever say I loved it but I certainly enjoyed it a...

    Why can't we like things without ruining it? Rick and Morty x McDonalds.

    You don't see people throwing tantrums if it's cloudy and they can't see the eclipse ;)

    Why can't we like things without ruining it? Rick and Morty x McDonalds.

    Frankly anyone who's scheduling their day around getting a sachet of sauce needs to reassess their priorities in life

    Why can't we like things without ruining it? Rick and Morty x McDonalds.

    Not surprised really. I work in customer service so I've experienced firsthand peoples capacity to be utter bellends over stupid things.I just don't think this behaviour should be excused. McDonalds fucked up no doubt but there is no justification for people acting like that to staff who were...

    Why can't we like things without ruining it? Rick and Morty x McDonalds.

    I've no hate for the fanbase and yes McDonalds did indeed fuck up by not having adequate supplies but that doesn't excuse grown adults acting like toddlers over sachets of sauce.

    Choose your own adventure books.

    I second this. You can't really go wrong with the Fighting Fantasy series by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone. Like the Lone Wolf books mentioned above (which are also really good) they're a mix of CYOA story and solo RPG mechanics. If you're going to go for one might as well start at the...
