In person with an awkward smile!

Without making a big list of every film I have ever seen and comparing & contrasting between them all, picking my list is basically impossible. So I basically just skimmed through a few existing Top __ lists, looked at my blu-ray shelves and just thought of what movies would maybe count as my favourites and what could also be considered to the 'The Best' of what I've seen. Not an easy task, but hey...I've got something at least.

I'm probably gonna disagree with these as soon as they're posted, but for this single moment in time - here's my Top 20 favourites:

1. Star Wars
2. Jurassic Park
3. Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade
4. Back to the Future
5. E.T. - The Extra Terrestrial
6. Jaws
7. Clerks
8. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

10. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
11. Monty Python's Life of Brian

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

Started this pretty much straight after Mirror's Edge. I wanted to play this back when it was released, but my old graphics card couldn't really handle it. Really fun game, although a bit repetitive in parts. About 3/4's of the way through, I got bored with a lot of the side-missions and pretty much focused on the story. I'm not much of a '100% completionist' with games anyway, so I'm not too fussed over skipping a bit of content.

My main gripe with this game was the ending, it was extremely underwhelming from both from a story and gameplay perspective. From looking around online, it seems I'm not the only one either.

All in all, I had a blast with this game. If you like the Batman Arkham games, it is basically the same thing in a Lord of the Rings skin.

Looking at what I posted looks a lot more negative than I actually feel, aha. I still don't know if I liked it or hated it, but don't get me wrong - I thought there were lots of great stuff in there.

Still not the best game I've played with an end credits song called 'Still Alive' though .

How'd your panel go?

It seemed like a different vibe to me just from reading the latest updates and the like, a bit more low-key than usual. I found this article earlier today which could explain some of it.

...wait, did I say reading updates? Must have been a slip of the tongue, we were totally there. Totally...

Poor 'Kill the Moon'.

103 - TV Shows That Became Movies

This is my all time favourite episode, solely for the last 10 minutes or so.

Christ, that was fantastic. I'm starting to wish I joined you over there!

After finishing it just now, I'm very inclined to agree with you. At first it seemed a bit just 'more of the same', which I was totally down with - and then it got even better. I was actually a bit hesitant about Stephen Merchant being in this, don't get me wrong - I bloody well love him, but I just wan't sure if he'd fit in. Within seconds of his introduction though, I was completely sold.

Ah, Portal 2. You are bloody good. I should probably get around to giving this co-op mode a go.
