Cavey Not trying to be a spoiler ... Hey at least you warned that you had a spoiler coming. But yeah i know what you mean.

On other forums I've checked, pretty much everyone who's read the books has loved the series. A few minor quibbles here and there maybe, with some scenes not featured due to budget constraints (hey it's not a Hollywood movie), or plot threads being told in a modified way, or small character details being changed. You know, the "it's not exactly like the book" type complaints. But yeah, overall it seems to be regarded as a masterful adaptation.

I searched but couldn't find any mention of this HBO show here, so I want to recommend it to everyone. It's just finished its first season (10 parts), and it was a class act. The series is a medieval high fantasy, set in a fictional world with supernatural elements (which are pretty low-key). It's based on George RR Martin's 'A Song Of Fire And Ice' series, with the first season covering the first book (I haven't read any of the books btw). It's a story about powermongering lords and their noble families who rule over their homelands but answer to the king who sits on 'The Iron Throne'. The kingdom is seriously unstable on the inside, but also being threatened by mysterious outside forces. Instead of being a straight good-vs-evil story, basically all of the characters are flawed in one way or another, and some of them are just fucking vile. I think it was the producer who called it something like 'Sopranos meets Lord Of The Rings', which is vaguely accurate (well ok, not quite). There's sex, nudity, harsh language, gore, and all the other shit that makes it qualify as an HBO show - so it's not for little kiddies. But the script is major quality, the acting is excellent, the production is spectacular for a TV series, and I was hooked from beginning to the end. So if you get an opportunity to watch this, definitely give it a shot. BUT, if you've already seen it, could you please put spoiler warnings around any major plot points you might want to mention.

Yeah I'm in Australia, where ping is lousy at the best of times (~230), but now I'm floating at around 300 on the MW2 server, which can make it difficult to get on there at all. Ouch. Though ping on the FTAG servers 1 + 2 is still ok.

So should vagina be spelt ' Y()<>'?

Ah yes - turning left for 4 hours. Woohoo!

He'll win a Darwin award with that thing.

Who the hell wants to do a pile of bones like that? No, I prefer them when they're in the bloat stage, when gasses build up inside, which can make various orifices a nice tight fit. It's also when they've got the strongest flavour. Unfortunately they don't last forever, so I always make sure I've got a fresh one brewing so it'll be ready for when the last one's done.

It's amazing what the US can achieve when the Playstation Network is down.

Nicole Kidman's gone overboard on the Botox again.

It even includes a 1080p in-bowl camera which automatically records and uploads clips to scat-porn websites.

LilAcorn wont like me one bit, i voted to BAN this..... i dont care if anyone says oh it has no affect..... heck i hate seeing pot heads driving n whatever around their home and working they dont do jack shit and cause nothing but trouble.... I still keep putting my vote to BAN pot all together medicated or not.... even medicated people get an addiction and go on street to buy more cause their doctor gives them so little for it.... Nothing but trouble.... if my kids ever started this pot stuff i call the cops on em.... tough love.... As opposed to all those nice, respectable, considerate, safe driving drinkers. They never cause trouble. Anyway, good luck with that bone marrow cancer you might get one day.

Nutcutter I agree, never realized how cheesy it was till it was removed. Never mind cheesy, it just messes with the gameplay. Snipe one person and your position is totally given away. Sure, the sound of your rifle might do that to an extent, but nothing like killcam does.

Hehe indeed - happy 4/20 everyone. Mind you, in my part of the world it's 20/4, so we never get a 4/20, but I can go along with the American format for the day. I shall do the appropriate thing tonight then (4:20 pm will be too early for me though).
