From the stuff I've seen, its a big gently caress off tv that only you can see..

It's not a terminator style heads up display yet but I'm loving looking forward to when the tech gets there in a few years time.

It basically gives you a massive screen in your field of view. Like if you had a huge telly. Its genuinely quite impressive. Especially as you can set it to be wherever you want so you can sit comfortably for your neck/back.

Isn't the easiest way to tell the difference, when their mouths are closed an alligators teeth are covered but a crocodiles teeth are still exposed.

To be fair, the best bet if something looks a bit alligator or crocodile(ish) would be to gently caress off to the winchester for a pint.

This is completely wrong. The way to tell the difference is that an alligator will see you later, and a crocodile will see you in a while.

Relatedly, Daniel Sloss has a pretty good show in the vein of 'halfway through let's unexpectedly drop the jokes and talk passionately and angrily about male culpability when it comes to sexual assault' but I think he probably has more traditional standup and solid punchlines dotted in there for anyone who finds Nanette a bit lacking in that regard.

Daniel Sloss is good and I recommend his Netflix specials.

This Christmas the older relatives were waxing lyrical about Dave Allen.

Hey those are a hell of a lot more involved than 99% of videogame questions on quiz shows. Even if they're all just 'name this absurdly popular game'.

Maybe one day games will be treated the same way films, TV, books, sports and music are on quiz shows and producers will realise the medium's starting to catch on. Probably not though. :shrug:

That's what I mean, the standards are insanely low. They usually go as far as questions like 'which game has a plumber in it'. Maybe you'll get a proper question on Only Connect once in a blue moon.
