Why don't you just commit suic... oh.

If you enjoy video games, nerd culture

I do not

I have this stick with a cup glued on the end of it. Attached to the cup is string with ball on the other end. The point is to try to get the ball in the cup. It's pretty intense.

I've been getting into Asian lesbian massages lately.

jacking my dick 4x a day and praying for death. hope this helped.

I've been tracking down grainy VHS-rips of Night Stand with Dick Dietrick.

I've been watching a Italian series called "Gomorrah" that is loosely based on the book and movie that came out a few years ago. Very good, and very dark. For the American audience, it feels like "The Wire" if it was based in Naples, Italy, and concentrated on the crime families mainly.

The only down side is that it is subtitled, and is such a colorful show, that you might miss a sentence here and there. It's on DVD and the usual grey area streaming sites.

Here's the trailer - www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq_0qJoUzvU .

I also really loved the Hulu 11-22-63 series they did on the Stephen King book. It was well acted, had good writing, and didn't try to pick to the novel's bones, and become a series.

As far as Radio? NPR and Audiobooks for the last few months, with a little LoS thrown in.

I've been muddling my way through L'Étranger by Camus for the last two months and I'm preparing to try reading Infinite Jest again. I'm still rocking a 360 so I haven't had much new shit to play. I recently replayed Dark Souls 2 for like the 4th time. I don't really like modern movies and I don't watch much TV. The only real show I watch is GOT. I'm not digging this new season as much as the past ones, but it's nowhere near as bad as everyone's been saying. I used to watch Lucha Underground, but I'm really behind now and I'm kinda daunted by the thought of catching up.

French existentialism? Are you Louis CK?

Infinite Jest is a great book. Though it's quite long, it's not tedious. Frequently funny and engaging. If it's too daunting, pick up some of David Foster Wallace's essay collections like "Consider the Lobster" and "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again". I'm currently reading "Journey to the End of the Night" by Louis-Ferdinand Celine. It's a pretty scathing critique of the absurdity of humans and society. I read "The Stranger" a long time ago, but remember really liking it.

I had time off from work when I read it so I dove right in and finished it in a month. I'm not going to pretend like I understood everything, I needed help understanding parts, but that was part of the challenge of the book. Ultimately, I found it rewarding. What DFW calls "high art" is stuff that the reader has to invest time in to fully understand. It's a relationship between the creator and consumer where the consumer has to do some work. "low art" requires no thought, everything is catered to you. Both styles have their benefits. Is DFW a pretentious guy who writes about upper-middle class, over educated white dudes and thinks he's smarter than everyone else? Yes. Is DFW an unequivocal genius? Yes. I think there is a lot of valid criticism of him and he's not for everyone, but he pushes the boundaries of what can be done with words/books. A quick read of his that is astonishing is "Forever Overhead". Check that one out.

how far did you get into Infinite Jest your first time around? I'm stuck with it right now. It's wonderful but after the Eschaton chapter there's a definite formula to the middle parts: Gately, addiction, Marathe and Steeply, and then back to Gately.

I think I got to page 250, or somewhere around there. I had to drop it for a few weeks and I just never came back to it. I was enjoying it but, by the time I finally got a chance pick it up again, I was completely lost and I didn't want to start over again.

The pacing is off bigtime. It's not just the rushing through, it's the we gotta cover every character/subplot per episode. Shit like Arya, probably could've been cut down to her showing up 2 or 3 times this season.

I'm sure having a lack of source material is partly behind the drop in quality, but they already got through the last two boring books just fine. I thought they'd be able to keep it going without the books.

Book 5 of GoT/ASOIAF was not boring at all !

are you reading it in French?

Yeah, that's why it's been taking me so long. I have to constantly look up words or ask people why something's written a certain way.

Shut up you pretentious douche

I don't really like modern movies

Ewwww.

Pretentious? My favorite movies are cheesedick 80s action and horror movies. Its not like I'm watching 1950's Danish art films, shithead. I have the most pedestrian taste in movies. I don't really like movies in general, but modern movies really don't interest me. I'm not into the superhero stuff, modern action movies suck, and there aren't all that many horror movies coming out these days.

Sorry, I guess I must have been misled by the fact that you called Camus' book by it's French name rather than just 'The Stranger' like everyone else. I'm sure you're not actually a massive giant prick don't worry

PS. I WAS BEING SARCASTIC JUST THEN

All right, fair enough. That would set off the pretentious douche-o-meter for me too, but I'm actually reading it in French, so that's why I used the French name.

I'm just joshin' you goodnaturedly anyway friend

it's not pretentious to think that 95% of movies coming out today are piles of shit that exist purely for box office revenue, it's just the truth.

i've just started DS2, by the way. recently beat the first and third games, glad i got into it, awesome series.

The Witch was a good horror movie, I'd recommend it

Last nights episode was good but the most recent season of GoT as been awful. A series I always recommend to people when they make threads like this is The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret. Interesting story and extremely funny. Season 3 is one of the most creative tv seasons Ive ever seen.

I've been enjoying the Castlevania games on GBA through a Raspberry Pi. Also spending a lot of time lately searching for and archiving Chinese softcore picture and video sets.

Nice. Aria of Sorrow is fantastic. Right up there with Symphony of the Night, in my opinion.

Haven't played Aria of Sorrow yet, still on Circle of the Moon. I forgot that games used to be fun.

Hook up the soft core

I keep looking at Ready Player One. I will pick it up because you said so.

I was off of work for a couple weeks and watched Death Wish 2 and Maniac. Otto talked about them.

I have the new DOOM. It's ok.

i been playing warframe nonstop for weeks now. i have a rhino prime on the cooker and a new kubrow called candy.

I also visit 4chan during the day getting those dank memes.

And im currently watching trailer park boys (great)

I fell out of watching basically everything when I started a new job 6 months ago, so I'm catching up on Last Week Tonight. I keep not watching GoT because I'm upset at how pointlessly they're culling the cast of recurring characters off. Also, RimWorld, a Dwarf Fortress clone. That's pretty fun.

Just saw a good john le carre espionage thriller made into a 6 part tv series - 'the night manager', reccomended. Also just rewatched three days of the condor and will likely be consuming more sydney pollack 70s films soon. Looking forward to "our kind of traitor" this year.

if you haven't read that book I'll go ahead and be the gigantic faggot that says you should. I don't think Hugh Laurie makes a very good Roper and there's zero possibility of him getting that part if he wasn't an EP. I like the show anyway because I love le Carré and like to see how people try to translate his shit to film. if you want to watch some truly brilliant le Carré miniseries that do justice to the actual books then check out Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy from 1979 and Smiley's People from 1982 with Alec Guinness playing Smiley in both. they're fucking masterpieces.

Seen em all and agree they are better than the night manager though i think hugh laurie was fantastic. Whats an EP? Did u like tinker tailor soldier spy the movie? I thiught it was incredible as well.

I think executive producer.

Executive Producer. I don't think he's that bad in it or anything, but that the original character seems so much more menacing, hard to describe because Laurie's menacing too, just doesn't compare with the way le Carré can draw it for you. definitely read that book though, I've read almost all of his books and The Night Manager is top 5 for me. yeah I like Tinker Tailor the movie, and Gary Oldman is the shit. I remember my dad not liking Oldman's portrayal of Smiley but I can't really remember why and it's been forever since I read the book.

Tsss...yeah why not 5 days of the conwindow or sumpthin

1 point of the downvoting.

Rubicon is a pretty good rip-off of Condor in tv show form

meant to be good. was a big hit in uk but then so is cake baking competitions

I live in the uk and sadly this statement is 100% correct

peaky blinders is fucking great and yet no fucker watches it.

Couldn't get into after watching an episode. Some of these newer hyped "amazing" tv shows are big let downs

Loved it. Is the 3rd season out yet?

Midway into it here

Cos it's about Brummie cunts. I have to hear them on a daily basis, I don't want to watch them on TV too

It's great. Its weird how americans can't pick english accents up. It's not even that strong to me. Then again some people struggle with the accents in The Office and they are as basic english as you can get.

America gave the world Guy Fierri, so...

https://vine.co/v/e9KpUKbuduh The world owes us big time for this legend.

It just sounds sophisticated cuz the names. Its just cool spy films that arent cheesy ass bond shit.

It's dope as fuck.

Iv heard its sick and keep meaning to check it out

I been playing uncharted 4 and listening to Drake. Also some Fabolous. Yes, I am black.

"Views" was trash. I was literally listening to jump man which I do like. Arkham was OK but I didn't really pay it all the way thru. Try uncharted 4, you may enjoy that game.

I do the same, to me the game is a 9/10. Not a classic and I may replay it in its entirety another 2 or 3 times. The graphics are pretty unreal at times and the games action intense.

And I don't think you let a bunch of games slip by, if anything you can get them much cheaper now. Oh and btw, I recommend Rainbow 6: Siege if you can get it on sale. Multiplayer is tight and the community is really helpful.

get on some denzel curry, xavier wulf, amber london, ruben slikk type shit my n-person

Heard if Denzel curry but none of those other dudes. I'll check for them. Thanks.

Y'all niggas hear about the movie adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower? I've read that series twice now and I'm psyched about its release next year. The internet shat its collective pants when the news came out that a black man was cast for the lead role Roland, but personally I'm excited. It's an excellent story and you should read it or go fuck your mother, I don't care

I've read it like 4 or 5 times in the last ten years. I'm not looking forward to it. I have nothing concrete to base this off of, but I don't see this being pulled off well.

Well, it's not based on nothing. It's not like movies based on King's work has a high success rate. Shining doesn't even count since it's barely based on the book.

The one thing I'm concerned with that idris Elba was cast as Roland has to do with Susannah/Odetta/Detta. In the books she's involved in the civil rights movement and has been shit on and has a distrust of white people. How is it gonna affect her relationship, at least at first, with Roland when she is first "drawn" into their world?

Aaron Paul

Why? Because he played a junkie in something else, he should play the junkie in this show?

[deleted]

I just finished hbo's Rome from Anthony's recommendation. I thought it would be some gay wop fuck fest but it's actually really good. It's only two seasons long and there's a bunch of titties in between the indiscriminate acts of violence, plus you get to pretend like you're learning something while you whack your bag

I wish I never watched season 2

Why? Augustus did some pretty baller shit. Sure it was inaccurate but who gives a fuck

Season 2 is a bit of a letdown. It was supposed to be ongoing, but it was expensive relatively the ratings so HBO cancelled it during season 2 filming so they sped through everything. Ironically, Season 2 had great ratings to justify the expenditures but twas too late. HBO learned the lesson on expensive shows that have a building buzz around it.

I saw a film called The Lobster over the weekend. It was dark, funny, surreal, sad, beautiful, and disturbing. A true absurdist masterpiece with a Kubrickian vibe. Also revisited The VVitch on blu ray, which was one of my faves from earlier in the year, and absolutely holds up. I know a lot of people who hate the film, which I view as a litmus test for shit horror taste.

On the TV front I'm enjoying The Americans on FX, Penny Dreadful on Showtime, and an obscure show called Game of Thrones.

In the world of podcasts, my favorite, recent discoveries: Misery Loves Company with Kevin Brennan & Lenny Marcus, Tigerbelly with Bobby Lee, I Am Rapaport with Michael Rapaport. Late to the party on those last two.

Really liked Dogtooth a lot. As much as a film with such a discomforting premise can be enjoyed. Wish I had watched it again before Netflix got rid of it. With The Lobster I sensed this director was like a kid reveling his first trip inside the candy store, to rip off an Ebert observation of Tarantino's leap from Dogs to Pulp. This nutty Greek just shot up the list of filmmakers to ride and die with.

Love Lords of Salem too. The theme is my ringtone. A phantasmagorical descent into madness. Love it spite of Shari Moon's terrible acting. I've accepted at this point that she's an inescapable part of the territory in the Zombie cinematic world. Salem ahead of Witch, for its apocalyptic ending and superior, nightmare imagery.

If anyone likes Rick & Morty Justin Roiland's podcast, Grandmas virginity, was pretty fucking great. Also, Harmontown is usually a pretty damn good podcast. Anyone watch that hulu show The Path? Has Aaron Paul and the dude from Hannibal in it. I've heard good things but dont actually know anyone whos watched it. Hannibal was a great show too. A little slow at first but it gets so damn good.

Yeah they released an episode earlier this year that was the first one they did in like 4 years or some shit. Its Roiland and 2 other people that work in the same industry. You really get to see how ADD that fucking guy is. near the end of the last episode they start talking about a show justin is working on with adult swim. I don't think theres a podcast that i actually laughed out loud more listening to. If she loves Rick and Morty im sure she'd also like Harmontown cause Dan Harmon is the co-creator of R&M and he writes a lot of it.

r/Painal

Is billions any good? Got it on demand but i really can't be fucked committing to any other shows right now.

The fake argument scene was gold.

GoT, walking dead/fear the waking dead (sucks ton more than WD), Silicon Valley rules as you said, rogan has 1 good podcast out of every 5, I like to throw on carolla, lately the new loveline/carolla+drew, his one with mark garagos is good too. I love the TV show called alone (it fits my panera bread DNA).

I'm just about to finish watching Twin Peaks. It's a soap-opera style sitcom from 1990 directed by David Lynch. It has a bunch of good looking women in it, and it's as well done and bizarre as you would expect. Plus, it's supposed to be revived next year, so now's a good time to check it out if you never have.

Also been watching 60 Days In, which is a documentary/reality show about putting non-criminal volunteers in jail for 60 days and seeing how they handle it. They do a lot of that reality tv thing where they blow everything out of proportion, but it was still an interesting experiment and seems to be a fairly accurate portrayal of life inside.

I gave up listening to O&A a couple years ago and now I've been making my way through the old Loveline radio show. It's much more consistent than O&A in terms of quality comedy, though it never quite reaches the same heights of madness and weird shit. If you're looking for a new podcast/radio show, it's worth checking out. Lovelinetapes.com has a ton of episodes.

And don't forget to kill your- oops, sorry. Old habit.

Yeah, looks like they got a lot of the original cast. I'm interested to see what direction they take it, because you can tell they tried to keep it fairly normal by Lynch standards the first time around.

Twin Peaks is the absolute shit. The scene where they reveal the killer is, in my opinion, one of the best scenes in all of television

I really love Twin Peaks (and Lynch in general). Twin Peaks has an atmosphere to it that no other show comes close to IMO. One of the greatest soundtracks ever.

Widespread mother fuckin' PANIC!

I've been working brutal hours for 2 months but watched Gary Gulmans new special on NF. It was very good. I'd say great but I'm a fan of his already. Most comedy specials are awful. After hearing how bad Soders was, I'll probably delete it. I tried to watch GOT but I've never been great at following something with so many cast members unless I'm really into it. Since I was not all in, I couldn't keep track of it all and really didn't have time anyway. My favorite magazine is Mental Floss, I think that many of you would like it. During Football Season, I don't have time for much else. I do podcast a few sports radio shows like Yahoo Sports Steve Czaban show. I just finished John Feinsteins new book, "The Legends Club" about Dean Smith, Jim Valvano and Coach K. It was excellent. I do need to try to DVR "The Night Manager". I've heard good things.

The Rob and Joe Show is a podcast done by two local (Baltimore/DC) comedians. Joe trashes everything so he always seems to be at odds with other comics. It's one of my Fav's. I've also gotten into Tuesdays with Stories but Normands sex stories are getting a little stale. Czabe's radio show is very formulaic but he is very talented. His co-host, not so much.

How Did This Get Made? podcast
Adam & Dr Drew podcast

[deleted]

The early episodes of how did this get made are really good, but the series dropped off after you got their shtick. The Howard the Duck episode is the best of the series.

I haven't heard any of the newer episodes. My favorites are Road House, TMNT II, and Shazam. Pauls wife annoys the shit out of me. Jason is a funny fucker.

Corny name, but Mad Dogs is awesome.

South Park, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, Arrow, Flash, and Dare Devil. I smoke a lot of weed so I'm easily entertained yet overly critical of comedy and find nothing funny any more except South Park so I just watch tv,read, and play Fallout 4.

I still gotta watch last nights but yeah I'm with ya

FTWD is the cheesiest, worst thing Ive ever seen on television. Cant believe there are people out there that take it remotely seriously.

Team Fortress 2 in between writing code and staring into distance

I recommend the documenchree Poverty, Inc. which examines the global "poverty industry" and who benefits from it, why decades of aid to the third world has failed to improve those regions, and what approaches might work better.

I'm looking forward to watching Zulawski's final feature Cosmos which just came out on bluray. I also watched The Devil and On the Silver Globe recently. Both were very impressive.

And I like this comfy board /film/ on 8chan

Luring streetwalkers in my ride, taking them to secluded places, and beating and raping the shit out of them. As far as I know, they're to scared to report to cops afterwords. I'm kind of tempted to strangle one of them to death but not during the day. Someday though

Just fucking around. I recently found my old dreamcast and have playing marvel vs capcom 2 as well as other games for the system with my kid. Shit was ahead of its time

I was gonna download the new Far Harbor DLC for Fallout 4 later, I have a season pass, but I'll probably just play GTA Online as usual. I've also been watching Oz lately since I didn't watch the series when it first came out and just discovered HBO Go. I'm trying to get into pickling cuz I have chickens and they won't stop laying eggs, so pickled eggs? Then I saw I need a canner and just ended up making some candied jalapenos instead. They won't be ready til July, hopefully I'll be dead by then.

I quit Walking Dead years ago, but got sucked back into it in the last week. Season 4 was way better than 3, Season 5 was amazing.

Fear The Walking Dead (I've only seen season 1) was kind of lame though, I thought.

It did start off pretty cool, and then fell into so many cliche trappings it was just ridiculous.

Black Mirror is great. Hap & Leonard on Sundance was a great little 6 episode series. Bloodline on Netflix starts off slow but, it's a good slow burn of a series. Starting Justified next.

He will be back through Flashbacks. I imagine there will be a lot of looking back into his life in Miami, and from the time of the accident.

Rewatching Lost. Haven't seen any of the episodes since their original air date. I gotta say it's not as good as I remember but that's probably because JJ Abrams projects don't hold up. (With the exception of Star Trek)

I just finished the first season and started the second but I'm not eager to go home and watch it like I was with Breaking Bad.

I'm thinking about getting a VR headset so I can get into VR porn. Have any of you guys tried it before, and is it worth it?

"The Bleeder" comes out this year about the pasty boozebag that knocked down Ali and went 14 rounds with him. Its what inspired Rocky.

Liev Schreiber is playing the lead role (Wepner) and there is a 30 for 30 about that fight im almost positive

This is why I subscribe to this subreddit

I don't know where else to turn for entertainment consumption suggestions.

I wish AMC would just all the way with the cursing. The graphic violence level puts most R rated horror movies to shame. I think Preacher and Walking Dead (especially Negan) would be better off.

Lately I've been reading a lot of Robert E Howard's Conan stories, Jack Vance's Dying Earth, and Michael Moorcock's Elric Of Melnibone stories. I enjoy reading these whilst listening to Max Steiner's 1933 score for King Kong.

Maybe it's because I knew they would never finish it after the set fire and the BBC pulling out of the project.

It was so neatly wrapped (for my tastes) at the end of season 1.

Although, I have full confidence they would have made a great well rounded series if the funding was there for then to continue.

Wow gang, this is great!

Movies: Hateful Eight, The Revenant. Books: Mason-Dixon... its a slog of a book... but trying. TV: Its Always Sunny (endless rewatches), The Americans (most underrated show on TV), GoT, Peep Show (if you like British comedies, this is one of the best). Games: Fallout 4. Whacking: pulling taffy to riot girl porn.

A few things to talk about here. Sopranos was a great show, but the Wire was better. Silicon Valley fucking stinks, and that unfunny faggot T.J Miller needs to go away. Bill Simmons is a bore, and a queer. Rogan can be tolerable with the right guest, but add Duncan Trussel or Bryan Callen and its dogshit. GOT, you got that right. Now...go kill yourself

interesting you say that, but SV is the only show that has literally made me laugh outloud in every episode, I don't remember that level of enjoyment since when seinfeld ran new episodes or married with children, maybe it's because I live in that field (panera bread IT technician here), but the show is hilarious

the wire and breaking bad > sopranos

one of us has to be wrong, clearly it's you.

I'm glad we agree that I'm right.

I completely agree. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but people act like it's Gone With the Wind or something. Better Call Saul is better.

The only part I thought was overrated was the maniacal laughing scene. It's cliche and that performance by him was nothing special. But people think it's one of the best things ever.

Anyway Deadwood is better than all three. I've seen Sopranos around 6 times, Wire and BB 3. I'm probably in the high teens for Deadwood, and if I hit 50 rewatches before keeling over, I won't even be embarrassed.

My advice would be to hit up google frequently if there's any dialogue you don't understand. There's so much packed into it it's insane. After all those rewatchings I probably only get about 75% of it all. I don't mean to make it sound like homework. I look at it as a really rewarding hobby, much like re-reading ASOIAF.

Also, if you're at 2x02 you're at a really great place to be. They take an almost bizarre turn with the main character (I'm not sure who you think that is at this point, so I won't specify) and man does it pay off over the next 3-4 episodes.

2x12 the season finale is by far my favorite TV ep of all time.

I guess I shouldn't say, but Adams adds pretty much, but nothing too major. He's a big part of what makes the S2 finale so cool, and as a bonus he hooks up with a very hot and at the time relatively unknown Sarah Paulson - "that cunt with the long kraut moniker" haha.

EDIE FUCKING FALCO? Are you fucking kidding me? Are you reallI g using the worst performance on the show to back up your point. Wowwwwwwwwwwwww

You relax. I come here to yell at people for their shitty taste. Don't fucking ruin that for me.

[deleted]

Preacher fucking sucks, retard. Thanks for confirming that the only people who like it are stupid redditors who didn't read the comics.

No, I'm mad that once again some stupid kikes are going to ruin something I enjoy for a cheap payday.

Tl;Dr fuck off

What the fuck lol?

Why are you faggots watching entertainment? Why aren't you working on acquiring money?

You live in a world where you're surrounded by material wealth, and yet instead of finding a way to get some for yourself, you piss your days away sitting on the couch.

You don't have time to watch shows until you're a millionaire who has escaped the soul crushing misery of a 9 to 5 working lifestyle.

You aren't men.

I know right? Not like guys like us who don't waste our time on social media.

All right, fair enough. That would set off the pretentious douche-o-meter for me too, but I'm actually reading it in French, so that's why I used the French name.
