What is it with North American sports and lock-outs?

Their system of closed leagues with strong ownership and a legal framework that is almost entirely based on collective bargaining lends itself to it.

I wouldn't be caught dead on a scooter.

Besides the obvious fact that I'm a grown man and not a 15-year-old jacked up on hormones, I prefer to be dry and not soaking wet right down to the bone when I go places.

Forza Horizon Preview.

Looks amazing.

Pre-ordered that the other day.

The physics engine from Forza in a Test Drive Unlimited-style open gameworld should be absolutely awesome. Only thing that worries me is the whole "music festival" theme the game supposedly has.

I guess if you're a fan of network shows this could be a bad time for TV, but the current line-up of premium cable shows is fucking awesome.

Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Homeland etc.

That second one is possible if she wears a corset a lot.

I'd still bet on it being a photoshop though, its not as if tightlacing is a particularly common thing.

Do Chelsea actually have an identity?

Does any modern football club?

Well safe to say my music tastes are different from most of you lot :L

I like some hip-hop, though I can't really say that there is much overlap between our tastes other than Jay-Z.

Ever listened to French hip-hop? Been listening a lot to this group called 1995 lately, they're awesome.

Noticed last night that if you can get the price in US dollars it is even cheaper.

How long will this voucher be valid? And can I pay with paypal on this website? I'll probably buy the game this week ahead, just need to go to the bank first.

There is a paypal option on the site.

This is a nightmare, 3-0 at half-time for VA against Marseille. Mandanda with an atrocius mistake.

Well, you can't win every game.

To answer your question about the lead character in Drive, he's basically a modern incarnation of the man with no name. Drive draws a lot from classic film noir and westerns, two genres where that type of character was common.

He's the strong, silent type, as Tony Soprano would put it.

Revolver, confused the shit out of me most of the time; also watched Driven yesterday, was Ryan Gosling's character meant to have some sort of mental deficiency or something?

Drive. Driven was a terrible Sylvester Stallone film.

Thinking about getting Skyrim, is it worth it?

The first 20-30 hours or so of playing Skyrim was the best gaming experience I've had in nearly a decade, so yes.

I'm surprised no one has said anything about me owning a pitbull, normally greeted with all kinds of bullshit

The fact that you haven't given any indication of being the type of pitbull owner that gets on everyone's nerves might have something to do with that.

Judging from the article I read about Vukcevic's accident, it doesn't seem like it happened on the Autobahn.

Anyway, I hope he can make a swift and full recovery.

I was of the belief there is no speed limit in Germany on highways.

Many sections of the autobahn system have speed limits and there is a recommended limit of 130 km/h on the "unlimited" sections, driving faster than that may void your insurance and cause you to be at least partially responsible if you are involved in an accident.

I still really liked Prometheus despite its flaws. Technically its stunning imo, its just a shame the script is a bit of a mess.

Aye, a few scenes are absolutely amazing, the star map scene in particular.

Come on.

You're better than this.

The Blind Side isn't that bad.

I'd agree that calling it "epic" is going way over the top though.
