Gripweed posted:I watch that British show Taskmaster on Youtube, so sometimes the algorithm recommends me other British game shows, like 8 out of 10 Cats Countdown or Would I Lie To You, and those are decent enough background sounds. But earlier today I watched an episode of this show called Only Connect. Shut the gently caress up friendo, Only Connect is incredible. Once you click with it, you become one with the cosmos and begin ascension to godhood.

mystes posted:That's why they're asked to explain the answer though. The explanation is usually pretty clear even if it's later in the season and the actual question is insane and there's no way a normal person or someone who's not British could have gotten it Literally one time an answer amounted to 'loot quality signifier in MMOs' and I stopped to think about all the baffled regular folks out there who would have had no conceivable clue what the hell they were talking about. (yes, I got it in one, sue me)

Gah, was feeling almost satisfied at managing to scrape 7 points together going into the final round watching Only Connect this week, only for the final round to leave me staring at the screen like a brain damaged baboon. Duck Duck Goose can gently caress right off!

Just finishing up S3 of Slow Horses and literally shouting at the loving screen right now for River to snatch it back, it's so loving obvious what that senile old gently caress is going to do you useless loving muppet! Jesus Christ! No wonder he's stuck there forever, is there a bigger gently caress up on TV? Still, megalol at Cokehead Shirley saving the day taking out nine PMC wankers, you go girl.

Yes, yes, okay, I rescind my earlier statement somewhat. Pah. He's still mostly loving useless though!

Aw poo poo, I forgot all about that, probably too late to 'locate' eps from my usual supplier now. Would have liked to see what kind of carnage a young Don could cause.

Nothing Liam ever does will be funnier than that scene of him jumping the fence in Taken 3. That poo poo is legit like the Deadliest Joke In The World to me, I laugh so hard I can't breathe whenever I see it. The guy who edited that deserves an Oscar for services to comedy.

That Dark City show is its own thing, is that right? They're not all trapped in space by creepy baldies?Escobarbarian posted:Still watching through Only Connect episodes whenever I go to visit my mum (we’re on eps that aired in December) and I got a musical sequences question after two clues and I’ve never felt so smart in my goddamn life gently caress youuuuuuuuuuuu I did get a 5 pointer once but have never gotten a music question right ever, not even a single point. Hell, most weeks I'm happy if I can just scrape into double figures by the final round.

Chairman Capone posted:Been enjoying Fallout but by far my favorite surprise has been seeing Matt Berry and Walton Goggins interact. That's a combination I never thought I'd see. I've typically been kinda of 'eh' on Goggins because he's exactly the kind of dude Goons love to overhype the poo poo out of without ever being more than perfectly adequate in anything I've seen him in but even I have to admit I'm really digging his performance here. But then that's Fallout overall though, I had zero expectations of liking it (didn't care for the games at all) but I'm loving absurdly wholesome Lucy's adventures through the hosed up wasteland and her demented interactions with everyone. Also, the opener with Goggins cowboy destroyed me because his kid is the most adorable moppet to ever grace the screen and the thought of any remotely awful happening to her is just too awful to think about.

IRQ posted:I kind of liked in the earlier games where you'd kill people for money, like a hitman, and they weren't necessarily evil monsters that deserved it. I only jumped on board with the second one but it felt like every target was super dodgy in some way, various Mafia/Yakuza types, followed by Triad dudes, nuclear terrorists, and a paedo in Contracts. Probably the least harmful was the hacker guy in the Petronas towers. I felt bad for him, the dude just wanted his pizza... Were there any jobs that were just Regular Joes that absolutely didn't deserve it?

Noticed that Dopesick's on the iPlayer so thought I'd finally get around to checking it out. Only 40m in and I'm already loving livid, good job show.
