Game of Thrones:

SPOILER

Great start. That episode was visually spectacular. They've done incredible work with the cinematography and effects.

Loved the Tywin vs Tyrion scene. Charles Dance is fucking brilliant. Also the seemingly needless introduction of Margaery's charity work was worth sitting through to give us Cersei verbally pwning Joffrey.

[AndyFatBastard]

The Walking Dead:

SPOILER

I'm so glad Andrea's dead. She had so many chances to fix all this shit and blew every one. :-/ Otherwise that whole episode was dumb.

The only highlight was Carl's itchy trigger finger. That played out just perfectly for his decision to be as grey as possible, neatly dividing the characters and the audience.

El Tren FB status

CHDs legal team may have something to say about that.

Some basketball player in America broke his leg yesterday. It's probably the worst leg break I've seen in sport, so this isn't for the faint-hearted.

How did he not need oxygen there? Surely that pain would be beyond unbearable.

Just spent a frustrating few minutes on the PPP site where for some reason they've already taken down the navigation to the Irish Open side events schedule. Are there more tournaments on today?

[Zod]

I'm expending so little effort today. I actually think I'm like a black hole of effort.

[ghostface]

I hope there is a recap at the start of GOT cos I can't remember exactly where it left off! Should have watched the last few during the week

There's a 160 scalps event anyway, not sure of start time, maybe 3pm?

Breaking bad Season 2

SPOILER

the reason for the bear in the flash forwards at the start of the episodes was a plane collision caused by the father of Jessie's junkie gf? Why bother even hinting at something like that then have a gigantic and convoluted side plot which gets 10 seconds at the end of the series.

It did have some high points, and really picked up in the last 5 episodes, but after the first two episodes it just threaded water for too many.

That said I'm looking forward to season 3

[SatNav]

This post needs much more love!! absolutely brilliant

Is Boardwalk Empire's next season out soon?

Very enjoyable GOT

Fuck my fucking life.

Saw the Gif, I was like, I don't remember that goal from the first game.....
Never realised the game was on early today.

[Micknail]

Awaiting for a Zod post saying lol Man utd or some such.

Or is he still fuming about the mighty celtic being unable to beat the lowly St.Mirren?

Never watched season 2, until the other week. Can't stop singing this

This was the 2nd half of that adventure map I played the other night. Overall I'd recommend it for maybe the 6-12 age group as its not very difficult but there are some ok twists towards the end. Satnav maybe Mia would play it if she ever gets bored of building stuff. Overall as an adventure map Id give it a 4/10 and wouldnt be in a hurry to play it again it was more just a trial run so I could get the hang of installing mods

My utorrent isn't downloading stuff now for some reason today. I downloaded something last night as normal, and it somewhat slowly downloaded 1 out of 4 things I am trying to download today, but the other 3 it won't go past checked 0.0% status. Any ideas? I've restarted machine, tried different torrents for those programmes, and aside from reinstalling utorrent I can't think of anything else at the moment. Suggestions?

Well. Did ya have any easter eggs?

Got two!

Was halfway into the LOTR: The Return of the King, and the first egg was delivered. Great timing. I was flagging a bit. Fucking film was 4 hours 23 mins long! (although in fairness 15mins were end credits.)

That weird. I use bitlord and for some reason that stopped working. Downloaded uTorrent and it's working fine.

@Dom / site mods

What spambot measures do you guys have. The thing I set up is being bombarded with spam. Even with captcha and IP spam tracer software.

What else can be done?

Thanks.

I added an extra question to the registration process where the user has to type in a set phrase, and I change it every so often. There is also a blacklist of email domain names that can't be used in registration. Seems to have stopped most of our spam thankfully. I don't know if you can do either of those things though.

:

The match had to be delayed for 12 minutes while blood was cleaned off the grass. It is reputed that Manchester United's goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel vomited on the pitch upon seeing the injury and had to have counselling afterwards, along with a number of other players

[AndyFatBastard]

Does anyone play League of Legends? Getting into it a bit recently and have watched a few championship matches streamed live; it's actually quite interesting to watch if you're a gamer and the commentators do a good job of ramping up the excitement! Might record a few of my games and upload them to my Youtube channel at some stage.

Also, anyone looking for a job?

Missed this yesterday. Dota2 is where the win is. I have free copies if you add me on Steam - AndyFB[Ars]

SPOILER

Although not a leg break. This would give you nightmares if you played hockey.

Really not for the faint of heart.

Always worth a link on 1st April good times

lmao that was a great read.

A few of us on here also had good fun before with that link that went to the facebook page of whoever clicked it. Started a thread talking about how creepy this person was with other details etc and stuck up the link, many PMs and even calls to admins about that one

The blacklist of spam domain names was one I chose. Didn't see anything about a certain phrase, must look into that.

I tightened up Saturday and it has been worse than ever.

Fucking Ted Walsh! unbelievable pig of a man.
After Dot Love's horse wins the National Ted turns into first a fashion critic talking about her clothes and then says in his finest dirty old man tone, "Dot was a fine looking bird when she was young" You can hear Robert Halls jaw hitting the floor and a prolonged silence most likely as the producer is swearing at Ted to STFU in the back channel when Robert slightly redeems the situation with an "And she still is" comment.

What a creep, yuck!

Don't really think he could have redeemed the situation with 'Elegant lady' either.

I have DOTA2 thanks, haven't really gotten in to it yet, just playing LoL for now. I was definitely surprised by how entertaining the 'package' around the live streaming of LoL championship matches was, the commentary, live audience, everything. I also know there's a fair amount of money at stake, though that wouldn't affect me with regard interest.

Will add you on Steam anyhow

Has GAB got a horsey running on FT of IO ? I see him on the stream down there railing it.

What's this?

Not sure which bit is the problem.

But to clarify, Pokerstars have a permament crappy 'rakeback' thing whereby you can sell your FPPs at X per FPP.
The figure X is small for Silver/Gold level customers, around .10/.12c per FPP, going up to .16c for Superrnova.
And on this day every year they give the .16c rate to Silver/Gold people, so you can cash $80 for 5000 FPPs.

It's about the best way possible you can spend your FPPs (other than the toy donkeys, but they seem to be gone from the store.)

David Busst and Beano McDonald are 2 others whose horrific leg breaks spring to mind. Busst never played football again and McDonald was a shadow of his former self.

You did sound a bit creepy in fairness. I didn't see Ted Walsh today so I can't make any comment there
