alive she cried

I've been hoping for a while they'd do this.

I'd recommend torrenting it to avoid spoilers.

p.s. Shit all our hats

I still haven't found the will to finish season 2, after the sheer brilliance of season 1 I was really disappointed by the drop in quality. I'll get there eventually, just hope season 3 is a return to form.  

The Fade Out is excellent, proper Noir. I devoured it in a couple of days about a month ago. Criminal, Fatale and Kill or Be Killed are currently sitting on Comixology waiting for me, looking forward to starting them.

Is this just for Brubaker, or Crime comics in general? Because two other books I've been reading are:

Richard Stark's Parker

Quote

Darwyn Cooke, Eisner-Award-winning writer/artist, sets his artistic sights on bringing to life one of the true classics of crime fiction: Richard Stark's Parker. Stark was a pseudonym used by the revered and multi-award-winning author, Donald Westlake. The Hunter, the first book in the Parker series, is the story of a man who hits New York head-on like a shotgun blast to the chest. Betrayed by the woman he loved and double-crossed by his partner in crime, Parker makes his way cross-country with only one thought burning in his mind - to coldly exact his revenge and reclaim what was taken from him!

And Stray Bullets

Quote

 

Stray Bullets is an independent American comic book series published in black and white (with color covers) by El Capitan Books. It is written and drawn by David Lapham.

The story deals with the often criminal and sometimes tragic misadventures of a large cast of characters and takes place from the mid-1970s through the mid-1990s.

 

They're both on my list of all time greats, for writing and art, couldn't recommend them enough.

Finished season 5.

First episode is great, like I said before. Not all time great great, but really good.

Second was strong, some great acting but the "twist" if you can call it that was telegraphed really early in the episode. Overall though still good.

Third was shit. I can't believe I actually rolled my eyes watching an episode of Black Mirror. Just awful.

Never played vii (or any other number) do you think I would enjoy this never having played the original?

I've always wanted to play but also know nobody who's into it.

Could a multi Skype session work? How cool would an international Hondo's DnD session be?

What say ye, doable? 

I remember having an Iceman figure as a kid that you could put into the freezer and then he would turn blue in places, growing "icicles", shit blew my mind.

Just googled it

I watched the first episode and rather enjoyed it. It was a kind of story I've never seen told before, and for the gaming aspects alone a lot of ye (especially Street Fighter fans) will have fun with it. It's not top shelf Black Mirror but, a solid start I thought.

False alarm, there was an issue with the roboto font on my laptop. Reinstalled it, and all is good.

Meta

Have I gone insane or has the whole forum just become italicised? 

How do we do snark now?

I've never seen him act, but I trust Reeves, so I'll judge it when I've seen it. 

I felt nothing watching that, neither disappointment nor excitement. 

I remain reluctantly intrigued, but would have no problem passing on it altogether.

I don't know the game, and have really been into online games. But I find the story fascinating, keep us updated.

I'll take that action.

So what's your dead death pool predictions for S8E3, Hondo's ?

After S8E2 I'm almost certain Ser Brienne is gone.

Ditto for ya boy Grey Worm.

Bran and Theon? Buh-bye.

Podrick? Via con dios, muchacho. 

Ser Baeric? The night will be dark and full of terrors for him.

Gendry? 50/50

Ser Jaime ? 50/50

Tormund?  50/50

 

If any of the other main cast go this week (Jon, Arya, Sansa, Daeny, Tyrion, Hound, Varys, Bronn, Davos, Sam, Gilly, etc.) I'll be genuinely shocked.

 

 

p.s. we all (myself included) have let some big spoilers fly the last page or so, so let's please go back to the tight ship I'd been running here. Any spoiler, big or small is to be tagged.

The jokes really on me though, I won't be able to see it til Monday. It's going to take serious internet navigation to remain spoiler free.

What's your number again?

Also, what's the betting that Podrick goes full on Neville Longbottom in the next episode? Its totally foreshadowing that he's either going to do something full on heroic, or something full on stupid.

First reactions are in, and are ridiculously, overwhelmingly positive.
