First volume was excellent, by far the best set of comics I've read so far. Went ahead and bought all of it while it's on sale.
Also from googling looks like Orci and Kurtzman (Fringe, Star Trek, Transformers) are planning make it into a movie trilogy, which should be cool.

General Discussion / Nathan For You
« on: Yesterday at 06:23:51 pm »
This is absolutely the funniest TV show I've seen in a long while. Shown on Comedy Central in the US (theres a bunch of clips on youtube, you may need to borrow the episodes from the internet for a while), it's kind of like an anti-apprentice, where small businesses will hire Nathan to boost sales, but his ideas are hilarious (Adding a poo flavour yoghurt to to a frozen yoghurt shop, offering super cheap gas but only after rebate, which can only be claimed by climbing a mountain).
It's one of the best I've ever seen a North American show pull off sarcasm/dry humour, and feels really British as a result. It's been renewed for a second season so there's more on the way.

Locke and Key sale which I've seen a recommendations for. Really enjoyed the first few issues, think this is more the sort of stuff I was hoping for.
Anybody else read it?

I've gone for all the uncanny x-men comics (there's 20 on sale which should be a complete story arc) and the 4 Journey into Mysterys that are suggested in the blog post.

First Sundance channel original series (I assume related to the festival?), drama about a man adjusting to life after prison. I've heard people calling it BB levels of good.

525 Irregular clothing sizes.
My feet fit fine in most size 12 shoes, but now I'm trying to get some nice shoes for work my feet are suddenly 12-and-a-bit, and normal places stop at 12 and it's now just a massive hassle and UGH.

Is anybody else on PS+? The instant game collection is really making it incredible value for money. For under £4 a month (and even less if you buy the codes on offer in-store somewhere), you get access to a selection of games for the entire time your subscription is active.
I joined in March, I've already got Joe Danger 2, Mass Effect 3, The Cave, Thomas was Alone, Okami HD, Hitman Absolution, Catherine, Infamous 2, plus some more. Next month's titles have been announced as ICO + Shadow of Colossus HD, and Demon's Souls.
These alone easily are worth £3-4 a month, plus the auto-updates and discounts (Bought Ni No Kuni for £17.99 just now). Honestly feels like you could buy this for a year and just not buy any more games til PS4.

Isn't part of it the exploration, so if you could see a cube you weren't meant to be able to see at the start of the level (or worse I guess if you can't see one you are supposed to see, like if it was too far off to the side).
Played an hour or so on PC. Pretty neat, not yet convinced it's anything incredible though. The world map is annoying to use.

I spent nearly £6 at Subway today which made me realise it is dumb to put off buying.
