@PegasusActual93@LN78 Yeah I won't be paying for NOW TV for anything any more. I used to begrudgingly for the football, but that is too expensive in the current climate.
Most of them are available on disk though, so I created a list on my rental service. Next time I have a break in the other tv sub services i use (whenever that maybe), i plan to watch what I’ve missed.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@LN78 I use Cinema Paraidso, which works very similarly to Lovefilm back in the day. They do 4K and 3D along with DVD and normal blu ray. They don't have everything film wise, depending what is tied up on the streaming services. But if you can buy it on a physical disk, I imagine it is on the service.

Finished watching season 1 of Halo. Absolutely fantastic, it had easily the best story that I've experienced in the franchise. Which shouldn't come as a surprise to me because long media (TV shows, JRPGs, visual novels) tend to appeal to me more than short media (movies, FPS, action games). You simply learn much more about the characters and their background in the show compared to any of the games. I've basically played all Halo games and I still know very little about the characters. That's because you don't learn much about them or the Halo universe in general by playing the games, ironically enough. If you really want to have a firm understanding, you need to read the novels and experience all other media. That's why I think the TV show is a great starting point for newcomers to the Halo series. It actually takes place before any of the games and gives you a good insight on a lot of the characters, even if the show isn't actually canon. I still believe though that by watching the show, you'll care more about the characters in the games. I certainly do now.
Finally gonna give Chernobyl a go tonight. Obviously I’ve heard how great it is but every time I’ve suggested it, the missus just really doesn’t fancy watching it. She’s away with work tonight though, so it’s about damn time!
@PegasusActual93 funny you should say that… considering I’ve been trying to get her to watch it for around 3 years, when I told her I started it over the phone earlier, she made me stop what I was doing as she wants to watch it with me (some day) 🤣.
@LN78 I finished 1899. Earlier in the week. I was completely hooked for the first 6 episodes then it lost me a bit with the twist. However I was back in by the end.
Really disappointed to hear that it’s been cancelled (?). I hope someone picks up the show.
I’ve just started House of Cards. It’s very good.
Also there are scenes of Kevin Spacey with a Vita & his ‘me’ time being playing FPS games on PS3.
Also in one scene he tried to play GOW: Ascension online, but couldn’t get online 😂.

It's funny that House of Cards of all shows is one of the more accurate portrayals of playing video games. Can't tell you how many movies/tv shows, always get it wrong. Dark is one of the best shows ever made with an incredible attention to detail and yet even they show two characters playing a PS4 with the controllers clearly off lol.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika
Spaced also did a really good job. There's a scene where Simon Peggs character is playing Resident Evil 2 and he is very clearly playing the actual game the whole time, even pausing it at one point to talk to another person.

Started watching Yellowstone and I just finished the first episode. The premise is Cowboys versus Native Americans in a modern setting, which I haven't experienced before in media. There's lots of politics and drama happening. The writing is very powerful stuff. I'm very intrigued so far and I'm looking forward to watching more of it.
Currently binging on Switched at Birth Season 1 on Hulu
binging slowly on Season 4 of Z Nation on Netflix
getting burned out on Season 4 of Stranger Things. Why the hell did the make the episodes longer this time?
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika The bit where Velma makes a bizarre edgy joke about MeToo was enough. I’m just baffled by their motivations, it feels like a show that was specifically designed to be terrible as a punching bag for a certain side of YouTube to make 4 hour videos slamming and then tarring similar, actually good shows with the same brush.
