Talking bollocks: Tuesday, July 17 – blather on about whatever you like

So who’s looking forward to the Olympics?

I like me a bit of running. I don’t even know when it starts.

@1 I am. I plan to watch as much of it as possible. Until I am sick to the back teeth in fact.

In other news, happy birthday to me. AS a gift to myself I downloaded the Napalm DLC for Toy Soldiers Cold War. What a waste of 400 MS points. I should have gone to the pub as planned. So what should I spend my £50 Amazon voucher on?

I like watching marathon runners doing actual harm to their bodies and almost falling apart on screen.

@1
July 27th I think. Also looking forward to the 100 metres, strange how one of the most anticipated events lasts under 10 seconds.

Some of the football is being held in Glasgow and I think there’s still plenty of tickets. Cycling would be fun too.

Can I talk about football? The SPL is screwed isn’t it? Bye bye Sky TV Contract.

Rangers FTW

p.s EA, please include Rangers in FIFA 13 #keepingitgamerelatedsince2003

@3

I think BBC just added something like 24 HD channels to Sky especially for the ‘Limpics’ and ESPN are providing 12 hours of 3D coverage each day, with 8 hours being live and 4 being recapped stuff.

@1

I would be if they included more combat/grappling sports. Bit sick of all the track and field stuff personally.

@6

Joe! I already told you my thoughts on that…Rest of the World section! Plenty of room for them in there next to Panathinaikos

I need to change the Solex carbs on my Lancia Fulvia. And feed the cat.

8008

That’s my useful contribution for the week.

@6
As a Celtic sympathizer, I somehow like the decision. But yeah, it sucks for Scottish football. At least they try to regulate and punish club spending (you could learn from that, Spain!).

Anyway: Did anyone watch the Breaking Bad premier on Sunday/Monday?

Probably because I am admittedly a lazy bastard but I just couldn’t give 2 fucks about the olympics really =/

Well, last night it was about 45 degrees C where I live.

The interior walls in my house are hot to the touch.

The hottest I remember it was 49, I think. That was last year.

What’s the weather like where you are?

I had a dream about the 3DS XL last night. *That’s* how much i’m looking forward to getting one.

EDIT: OH! Lovelife update – i’m seeing a new girl. How long will it take before I fuck it up this time too? Start placing your bets…

@14

I had a dream about The Simpsons Road Rage. Also YES NEW FEMALE HUMANS. Couldn’t possibly place a bet without knowing previous fuck up times.

^^ You’re such a player, SticKBoy!

One after the other… Lol!

@11

Watched Breaking Bad last night. It felt like having a good friend back in my life again.

Why is’nt the guy from Breaking Bad dead yet? I thought that was the whole premise of the series no?

@17

I watched the first episode of the first season last night!

@9 What is the fabrication year of your Lancia? Can you put a link with pictures?

@14 (Y)

As much as I love Elbow, I’m already getting fed up with the BBC Olympics trailer.

Only 6 more weeks to go!

The sun is shining here which means I’ll be nipping into town to buy my lunch and pick up a jockstrap in a local sports shop. Don’t ask…

What’s the weather like in your neck of the woods and what do you plan to have for lunch today?

Who cares about Olympics? I for one see nothing entertaining more than Football>Wrestling>Taekwondo and maybe some artistics/rhytmics the rest are unimportant to me. So, meh, I only care about football.

Pat let’s have topics, like in Massively.com there’s a Daily Grind thing going on which someone introduces a daily topic and people discuss , this can be our weekly thing.

46 degrees, and sunny.

Beef and mushrooms.

@22

Have you heard Muse – Survival? The Official song of London 2012. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68mw8AE9l_g

Sounds very like Queen.

Finally managed to zip up my overstuffed suitcase 6 days to go

Age Concern volunteering and Night Shift Care work are on my list today, hour to go yet, Tea and daytime TV it is!

I had a dream last night that I was a kanji and I forgot how to write myself. My co-workers were all kanji, but I could write them because I could see them…

@26

Not yet. I don’t mind Muse so I’ll give that a listen to later.

Peter Sagan FTW!

Anyone planning on picking up Kingdom Hearts 3D on Friday? I’m tempted but waiting for the review embargo to be lifted before I make my final decision.

Has anyone seen any UFOs recently ? I don’t blame You if You haven’t, due to the fantastic weather we have.

@31 I actually cancelled mine yesterday. I had it preorder with Amazon, but after I saw a review in Nintendo Gamer and their 71% I decided to wait for a price drop…

Olympics – I’m pretty much viewing it as an extra tournament on the Tennis calendar. Anyone but Rafa.

Breaking Bad, me and the gf are only a few eps into Season 2, we are very late to the party

#31 I am, I know that it got 38/40 on Famitsu.

But I was never a fan of the DS games in comparison to Birth by Sleep though so fingers crossed.

@26 Muse is one of my favourite bands, but that song is fucking terrrrrrible!

Any one watched Breaking Bad ?
Yea bitch! Magnets!

Re weather: sunny, 22 degrees.

And I’ve never watched Breaking Bad.

And I’m going to have fried beans, chard, tomatoes and chilli for lunch.

I still have 1 hour and 21 minuttes left at work. Yay…

@39 If you love to watch tv shows, hands down, one of the best ever.

@42 Gonna give it a shot, yeah. Too many people go on about it.

@39 Blasphemy.

@11, 17, 34 Watched S05E01 of Breaking Bad online last night. I’m from germany, so I couldn’t watch it live on TV
I love this series and much as I want to see it end with a BANG, it still sucks that this is the last season of it…
Bryan Cranston is such a badass, I hope we will get to see him play that kind of character in many films and series after this one ends. Maybe the villain in ‘Total Recall’ is a good start

@37 MAGNETS, BITCH!

I’ve got Breaking Bad season 1 on DVD, never got round to watching it though, need a few TV shows to watch during summer. Is Falling Skies any good?

Edit: The Newsroom is amazing. Sorkin is a writing God.

Is this a response to the fact that most news items only seem to get one or no comments these days ?

I realise sites like this must be suffering from the lack of ‘real’ news caused by the lack of games due to the console cycle and the usual summer slump and no mid-range games any more due to big budget triple A games steamrollering the opposition and everyone buggering off on their phones and losing interest in consoles.

Are figures down Pat ?

Please don’t go under, I’ll only have twitter left

@40

Mmmm tasty sounding lunch there! I’m going to raid M&S for a decent sandwich & salad combo.

Just clouding over here though… :/

@47 Figures are up! Just thought it’d be nice for people to have a talk about whatever. I’ve seen it works really well elsewhere. Didn’t plan it at all. Just popped into my head.

But yeah, it’s not very newsy at the moment. This year’s pretty tough in terms of actually content, to be honest. It’s the gap year. Next year will have sod all games, but at least we’ll all be talking about next gen, so there’ll be a lot of interest.
