You would've been sitting around the ole Rank Arena back in the day hey pal? Strop, Arthur Dunger and Leo Wanker were classics, my old mans indoor cricket team was called "The Dungers", played Sunday nights after a Sunday full of piss.
Yep, I really liked Hogan's heroes

Anyone watch Last of Us? Based on a video game which has probably inflated the IMDB ratings, nonetheless it's very good. Being one of the sicko's that endured all of The Walking Dead, I can see lots of similarities in this show.

Yes mate I'm watching it and fully into it as I played the game and it's sequel (I even got it out to play on my PS3 last Sunday to reminisce, I played it alot when it came out 10 years ago now!).

The TV show has some changes from the game and there are some I don't like but there is reason behind the changes explained by the game's co-creator Neil Druckmann in the TV shows podcast (which I've listened to each week). For the most part though it's a reasonably accurate adaptation making it very nostalgic.

The latest episode (eight) has been my favourite so far because its at the point in the game when you play as Ellie for the first time and Joel is at the peak of his powers having pretty much all the weapons, gadgets and upgrades. It's also a creepy part in the story.

She certainly unleashed her inner savagery in the last ep.

My Tasmanian old man, who has never watched a reality tv show in his life, watches it for the sole fact it's filmed in Tassie. He'd watch Neighbours too if it was based there I reckon. :lol:

Best game to tv adaptions ive ever seen. Zero issue with the changes. Cause they all made sense and, in some spots, made it better. Season 2 will be certainly interesting

Both last of us games are in my top 3 games ever played

1. RDR2
2. TLOU2
3. TLOU1
