It is possible...with a lot of hacking



Crouton -> Ubuntu -> PCSX-R -> go!

is that the install linux thing? I heard about that, but its only supposed to be a good idea if you have one of the faster models. Mines just a crappy samsung thing - stupidly good for surfing the net, and fuck all use at anything else.

I can't believe I've never heard of this, see as it was developed where I grew up. Nothing 'creative' comes from there!

Looks good, too. Will check this out :)

Interesting :)

I don't know, people who have played a ton of games might find it boring, I have no idea really, but it will always be special to me.
Yeah definitely check it out. I got it on Steam for my laptop recently. It's way clearer than it was on play station (it's very dark visually)
 
So I'm up to episode 7 of Narcos - Pablos got round to a whole lot of killing. Uncompromisingly violent, not in a bad way - just shows you how little life was valued by the cartels, and the real human cost of your gram of ching. A drug that I'm never touching again, btw. Sadly not because I'm coming to realise the human cost, but because it makes me feel like i'm having a heart attack every time I touch it. But yeah, the human cost too. :(
 
Ploughing on with Narcos, just the last episode to go now. I'm finding the complete lack of historical or political context more than a little annoying.
 
Anyone seen White God? I read some reviews about it earlier in the year and it sounded great. Plus I haven't seen many Hungarian films, so that's a bonus.

It's new on Netflix and will probably be tonight's viewing for me.

It's frustrating, cos there's obviously a lot more story to tell. But I guess budgets, 10 episodes, 15 years of history - just not enough time or money, probably.

An actual mention or two of a DECADES-LONG CIVIL WAR might not have been that tricky to slip in, though. Or mentioning government/oligarch-sponsored death squads (rather than just corner-cutting 'good cops doing bad things').

It's all a bit "good guys, bad guys" telling of the story, for definte. For me, there's a whole lot that I didn't know about columbia that I'm gonna have to read up on, so in a way good, that I have to go and do my own homework.
 
maybe I blinked and missed it but you'd have thought iran-contra-CIA drug smuggling would have been in it by now. Still, its good enough. Might have to dig out the bio I have 'Killing Pablo'. Years since I read it so it might be shit

A very fair point, given that considerably more time was given over to Barry Seal's Sandinista coke transshipment sting/hoax. At no point is it mentioned that there was no credible evidence of any such Sandinista regime connection to cocaine trafficking, in contrast to the very real involvement of senior members of various U.S.-backed 'Contra' groups.

Too much story, too little time to tell it.

I would respectfully disagree. Season one of Narcos takes getting on for ten hours to cover not much more than twenty years; the Carlos mini-series rattles through around thirty years in under six hours, and arguably covers a lot more character development and historical background, all without K-Billy's less expressive younger brother voiceovering the shit out of all that leaden exposition.

I might come back to why I disagree later (I don't seem to have the energy for arguing these days), but for the moment...

"all without K-Billy's less expressive younger brother voiceovering the shit out of..."

:D
 
Watched a couple of eps of Bloodline - intriguing stuff - Ben Mendelsohn seemingly typecaste again - will continue on with it.

Watched first ep of Z Nation - Ok set up, firmly in the Walking Dead zone....does it find it's own way?

Watched first 5 minutes of Narcos and thought, nah....I'll wait and watch it all together.

Finshed Sense8, although hadn't sussed it was the last episode so was a bit underwhelmed when I discovered that was it.

On the final slog of Sons of Anarchy (watching with Nanker Jnr), it's still daft.
 
Just looking through the Australian Netflix via Hola. Quite a few decent things that I haven't seen yet, or wouldn't mind watching again, which are not on US or UK versions. Gravity, Guardians of the Galaxy, American Beauty, Juno, Sharknado (!), Captain America 2, some horror series called Darknet - Darknet (series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - amongst others. Gonna have a look around the Canadian and New Zealand ones later.

Can't believe I didn't think of this before. Could get dangerous :eek:. Lucky I have a couple of weeks before I start my new job :).
 
Got the final two episodes of bloodline to watch this afternoon, quite enjoyed it but not sure where it's going to go in the second season.

I just can't get into Bloodline, I wish I could.

I did get bored 1/2 way through episode 3 and switched off. Will go back to it, but for how long I don't know.

The terribly tough lives of rich people and their dysfunctional children is difficult for me to empathise with...
 
Just rewatched Attack on Titan. I'm going to have to start reading the manga because they're not going to be releasing season 2 until later next year and I need moar now.
 
Dusk Till Dawn the series is better than expected. The bloke playing the preacher is Alcide's werewolf dad in True Blood. Vamp connections lol
 
I'm watching Dusk Till Dawn too, got a shock when there was no more episides! Didn't realise it was a current prog. Also watched first episode of Narcos but mostly fell asleep but BF says it's good. BF is watching Battlestar Gallactica on his fracking own but occassionaly I am in the vicinity as he was when I watched 'Orange Is The New Black'.
 
Bloodlines people...check out Rectify. Infinitely superior but not sure if it is on UK Netflix yet.
Narcos is just a heap of annoying revisionism.
