The off topic thread

Big no from me (regardless of age). Just absolutely not appealing in any sense to me.

Yeah pretty sure she's 17.

 

[Cooldude]

I stand by my decision.

That is horrid, just terrifying

Looks just like a Magikarp

I bet Jod would wanna hit that too

 

[glenferry23]

Is it bad form to say you'd do a 17 yr old? Hmm what's the etiquette there?

 

[Jatz]

Depends how old you are?

It's not illegal in NSW if that's the angle you meant. 16+ up here.

Not sure what the laws are in NZ or Vic?

 

[glenferry23]

Depends how old you are?

I'm almost double her age....so I think I'll stay quiet on this one.

Wise choice I'm only 22 but I still wouldn't go near her with a 10ft pole.

 

[Cruyff14]

Casually fronting Nirvana and the Boss just covering your tunes. She's rocketed to unknown levels.

Haha did you watch it?

 

[Cruyff14]

and Lorde is yuk, and underage.

 

[Cruyff14]

Does anybody watch Mad Men?

Would you recommend it?

 

[jod23]

Haha did you watch it?

I did, an interesting cover. I dont really get into the Boss but that was pretty cool.

I didnt know she was 17. She comes across so mature when ive seen her in interviews and she doesnt look that young. Ill gracefully bow out of this now considering how old I am.

 

[jod23]

I do watch Mad Men.

Sit down and watch it immediately. I couldnt say enough good things about it.

If you are into more narrative driven stories with absolutely brilliant writing then this is the show for you. It's a slow burn but absolutely terrific. On several occasions the writing is so good, particularly with the way they end some episodes with whatever Don Draper says right at the end of the episode, i just get blown away and have to look around to see if anyone else just experienced what I did, despite usually watching it on my own haha

Absolutely love that show.

Don Draper is ****ing boss. Cant wait for the new season later this year.

 

[Shoei]

Yes.

Two very good reasons.


(the show does drag in parts though)

 

[jod23]

The show never drags. It's boss.

I think you have to be a little older to enjoy it.

My mate who is 22 says its boring cos all they do is stand around and talk and he gave up after like 3 episodes but you have to stick with it and learn about the characters. It's not The Walking Dead with actions scenes and shooting guns and it's not GoT with beheadings and all out war.

It's a completely different show, it's about a bunch of blokes in the advertising game. I admit before I started watching it, I had no interest in it. I said to myself, this looks boring. But all the awards had to mean something right. Turns out they were right because it's a terrific show.

I wish I was as cool as DD.

Yeah was very different, didn't like it at first but it grew on me after a few listens.

From The Easybeats, to Martha and the Vandallas, to AC/DC, to Van Halen to Lorde, ain't nothing he can't do

Is MM as good as House of Cards?

What covers did he do of those other acts?

Mad Men IMO is better than House of Cards and I rate House of Cards really highly having just gotten into and finished both season off pretty quickly.

 

[Thistle]

If you guys haven't seen True Detective it is a must!

 

[LukasTheGreat]

Ahh sweet, cheers. Don't want it for heaps of games, maybe just some of the sports ones. Does it connect with the PS3? As in, if you complete a level of something on the vita, does it say you've done it on PS3 as well? (Hope that makes sense)

Yeah completely expecting to be 0-5. Might have had a little confidence if we didn't go lose to Melbourne last weekend

Nah unfortunately there's nothing like that, only cross play with the ps4. It may be worth looking up the Vita games catalogue online to see if there's games you're interested in.

 

[SM]

Wondering if it's too early to mention the latest Game of Thrones ep?

He opened Sydney with this, it kicked a whole heap of ass



Oh he covered INXS in the same show too (probably my favourite cover of his -or Higher & Higher by Jackie Wilson)



Opened Adelaide with this - "AAAAADELAIIIIIIIIIDE.... why is it so ****in hot? I thought it was hot yesterday, what the **** is goin' on today?" (43 and 44 consecutive days)



Adelaide - (this went ****ing nuts in Melbourne with Eddie Vedder who, mind you, ****ing bossed it!)



This was last Monday to open a show in Texas for College Bball Finals (starts at 1.10)



These are just from this year.... Has also covered Bob Dylan, The Big O, Rolling Stones, Jackie Wilson, The Rascals & The Animals to name a few more.

Hmmm will have to check out MM I think!

Started that, it was a struggle to get through the first episode.

jod23, Thistle is also another person who has witnessed the glory of Bruce live

You're the first person I know who hasn't been hooked.

Yup he was awesome, and this is from someone who only knew three of his songs!

I didn't find the characters likable in the slightest. MM looked bloody weird being that thin and hair in ponytail. I might give it another shot, I'll see how I go. Apparently it's great though. I turned it off with 2 mins to go in first episode.

BIT USA, Dancing In The Dark & Born To Run?

Ahh bummer, that's annoying! Did any of their handheld devices hook up with the PS3?

I haven't got the PS4, don't have enough time with work anymore to validate spending the money. Thought if it was something I could hook up with the PS3 it would be worthwhile. Would you recommend it knowing it would only be standalone? I'm guessing it's not that great for sports games?

You see I kinda like him when he is covering really good songs. Maybe that's just cos he is a great performer but his original music just doesnt do it for me. But when he covers great songs like Friday on my Mind, Dont Change, Highway to Hell etc you can see how good he is up on stage.

Having said that, all three on the songs i mentioned, the originals are still far better.
