Bringing it to this thread, Dannnnnnnnnn :p.

Shush Foxtel noob. :p

I rarely bother checking other channels as I'll go straight to A&E to check if Hardcore Pawn, Pawn Stars or a show like that is on. :rolleyes:
American Pickers is where it's at :thumbsu:. One of my favourite shows. I like Hardcore Pawn, but the brother and sister shit me up the wall. I don't like Pawn Stars, because the people selling stuff to them invariably get ripped off :p.
 
Haha yeah, was getting a bit off topic. :rolleyes:

My dad loves AP; I like it but it's not my favourite. A bit hit-and-miss for me.
I don't think words could describe my hate for Ashley on HP, hahaha. Seth is alright sometimes but a dick. I just watch it for the crazy people.

Pawn Stars...well, I only watch PS for Chum Lee. :D

Yeah, that Ashley is a massive bitch. But Seth isn't any better. He's such a wiener :p. The crazy people are good. It's funny how the fatties always flash their ****, and the "buff" guys always take their tops off to fight. Good for a laugh :D.

I don't understand how that Chum guy is hired. He's always wrong about everything, haha.

He is, but he's at least entertaining. :P She's just a cow. Honestly have no idea how she's married with kids...
My favourites are the ones who get told their jewellery is fake and then flash their **** and go, "These aren't fake, how much will you give me for these?"

I wouldn't be surprised if he has a contract with the show rather than with the actual store, haha.

I visited the pawn shop on Pawn Stars back in 2010 I think. Got my picture taken with Chum Lee and bought one of the coffee mugs with him on it. I don't really watch anymore. Their schtick got a bit old. A friend went to the pawn shop in December and had to wait in a line outside for half an hour to get in. I just walked straight in when I went. It was right before the show really took off.

My current favorite crappy "reality" show is Storage Wars. Is that shown there?

I'm jealous you got to meet Chum Lee! :eek:

Absolutely love Storage Wars! :thumbsu: There's another one called Storage Hunters which is awful, but Wars is great.

Yeah, that's on here too. I don't mind it. It's a bit more hit and miss for me. Some of the people in it are pretty funny though, so it definitely fits in the crappy "reality" show category :p.
 
I must say I am a fan of Pickers and Storage Wars. There seems to be lots of similar shows.
Something to watch over summer.

Can't wait for the return of AFL360 and other footy shows!!

I've seen the ads, but haven't seen the show yet. Does it differ to the others?
I think its good, but like many shows I think the vast vast majority of the stuff is made up. I just cant wrap my head around some people leaving such valuable items in abandoned storage units, just doesn't make sense!

Are any of you blokes Shaun, the Franga dude that bad his half-renovated house finished on Selling Houses this week?
 
I am one happy person at the moment! I don't know if I've mentioned it on here, but Gotye(Wally De Backer) was one of my students when I taught at Parade College(last century :eek:). I kept up with his Australian career when I found out that he had gone into the music industry and was really happy with his Australian success. When I found out that he was to perform in concert here in Chicago last April, I contacted him through his website to tell him that I planned on going and if it would be possible to see him. He emailed me back and invited me to be his guest at the show and provided me with an after show pass. Little did I know that I would have a VIP seat and he'd invite me to have beer and pizza after the show with the band. It was probably the happiest day I've had since my return to the states.

When I found out that he was coming back to Chicago in August I contacted him again and he invited not only me, but also my brother and his two teenage kids to the show and provided us with after show passes. My niece and nephew were overawed. They took plenty of pics that night and many ended up on their Facebook pages and Twitter and God knows what other social media sites they belong to! Wally couldn't have been more gracious.

As my brother and I had organised a trip to Las Vegas in September to celebrate my 60th birthday, we decided to extend our trip for a day since Wally was to play at the House of Blues Mandalay Bay the Friday we were supposed to fly home. Once again Wally invited us to be his guests at the show. Both my brother and I were really looking forward to seeing Wally and saying goodbye. I had even purchased a couple of Chicago Bulls caps for him and another member of the band who I had taught at Parade to give to them as a small token of thanks. Unfortunately my brother and I were not able to make the trip due to illness and I didn't get a real chance to say good bye to Wally and thank him for his kindness.

A little over an hour ago this very grateful teacher shouted out like never before when Wally won the Grammy for Record of the Year. He will never really know how much his kindness to me, my brother and niece and nephew meant to me. But seeing him on stage with Kimbra receiving his Grammy from Prince will be something I will never forget. Karma? I'll let you decide.
 
The game goes for honestly about 2 hours longer than it actually should. Hate it for that reason.

Good fight today against the Spurs, always knew we wouldn't get the chockies but oh well. Danny Green 8 3's is big!
It's not too bad. But really it literally took me half a decade to remotely get the game because of all the breaks. The best thing I did was watch the highlights, that's when i started to figure what the hell was going on.
 
Nice. :thumbsu: Trying to get through Darksiders II atm. So damn long and repetitive but it's fun for the most part. Awesome boss battles.
Avoiding off topicness :p.

I haven't played Darksiders II. Just the first one, which I liked. I've avoided buying new games for a while, since I have no internet, and am a poor, poor man.
Will start buying them again soon probably. Good games coming out this year.

Boooooooooo, you're such a good mod. :P

It's more of the same, really. Combat is much better but it's offset by more repetitive puzzles and missions. Not a bad game, but not one I could play again or platinum.
I've bought too many games... :( I'm not sure if you saw my post in the "My Games" thread, but I have about 30 games I haven't finished yet, hahaha. Need to get on that before this year's awesome lineup starts coming out. So much good stuff...
 
Anybody here a cricket fan? What do you think of the test team selected for the first test in India?

Don't like the Henriques selection at all, would rather Maxwell or even Doherty as a second spinner. Also think Bird is stiff to miss, would have him ahead of Starc.

Yeah, I imagined it would be similar. First one got annoying finishing it, so I didn't bother with this one.

I would buy more games if I had money. Money is hard to come by :p. This year will be even worse.

I never finished the first one. Got to the final boss, got really close to beating it about 25 times, gave up and never went back. :oops: My fault for playing on Apocalyptic.

Ah okay. I'll probably have to start cutting down...sucks that it's the year of so many awesome games + likely the PS4. :(

PS4 most likely coming out doesn't bother me. I don't plan on buying on release. It will be tempting, but it's better to wait a while.

You should prepare your body for Ni No Kuni. Such a fun game. Mega addictive too. You lose track of time really easily.
I want to start playing now, but I know if I do it will be 3am before I know it, and I have shit to do in the morning!
Makes me sad.

It depends what release games there are tbh. It's best to, but if I have the money and there're a couple of great releases, it's mine. :P

Ugh, that's gonna kill me when it arrives. I've got so much to play! :(
I thought that said, "I have to do a shit in the morning!" and I was surprised you planned your whole evening around your morning shit. That's dedication.
