Netflix/Amazon/Gaming and Book Recommendations

I've gone into a bit of a murder porn hole at the moment which I'll need to climb out of. Just finished watching 2 documentaries on Ted Bundy. One on Netflix and the other on Amazon. I do kind of like the old infamous stuff but it's definitely time for something more cheery.

If anyone is considering watching The Fall on netflix, you don't need to bother watching past the second series.

For any fans of murderporn there's a new documentary on Netflix called Nightstalker. True story of Richard Ramirez terrorising LA during the mid 80's. A right sicko if you didn't know. You have been warned!!

@john-folan I wonder why they haven't remastered those games, Star Wars is money and these were so highly rated but need a graphical overhaul!

They’ve redone the original KOTOR for the iPad. Plus the second one. They look a bit dated though so I agree. I’d love to see a remaster. I do love those videos though. They feel like Star Wars. Never really played SWTOR though sadly. Quite invested in Space Engineers at the moment.

The Mass Effect trilogy remaster is probably my most anticipated game this year, that gives me hope that EA and Bioware will remaster KOTOR next, they own the rights to Star Wars so no licensing reason to not do it.

They would be so good. Have you seen there is now a Lucasfilm games division and they have announced collaborations with Ubisoft and Bethesda?

@john-folan I think they Will it’s almost like they’ve gone phew thank god those three films are done lol now we can be good with it.

Agree Rogue One was insanely good! I need to watch that again actually.

This is what we could have had. These are the from the game Star Wars The Old Republic. I have binged on Star Wars since 1977 so I know my stuff.

This is just pure Star Wars. Rian Johnson actually drew on some of this lore for The Last Jedi. If he hadn’t fucked up Luke Skywalker, Kylo Ren and Finn and tried(and failed) to be funny, that film would have been brilliant.

Anyway, enjoy this. It is immense.

Been watching 'The Circle' on Channel 4, not something I would choose to watch but actually getting quite into it, something funny about watching men try to play as women online and being convincing!

Yes second season really went up a gear, don’t you feel with the films it seemed a bit rushed. Like they’d told the world a new Star Wars was coming then it had to be out, instead of what would make this amazing.

Also was trying to tie in too many loose ends, maybe to get us guys there and a new audience.

This is exactly how I feel about the sequels. We need more Rogue Ones. That was almost perfect.

I hope they stick to their new approach. They have applied it to the MCU if the first two episodes of WandaVision is anything to go by.

Ryan

@matt-wood I think they will and they’ll have a lot of good spin offs - saw a list of ones they have said are coming it’s mental.

Matt Wood

@ryan-carruthers Looking forward to the second season. I think the films were used to push a political agenda rather than just make an interesting and entertaining story but the Disney owns Star Wars now so they can do what they like with it I guess.

Hopefully the new series they are planning will be similar in feel to the Mando

Started the Mandolorian now, feels like Star Wars should feel they got this one right! Not convinced by the lead actor though. Carano is good, fight scenes with here are very realistic, but then you would expect that given her past career and the level she got to.

He grows on you and the second season will have you jizzing in your stormtrooper outfit.

Its a good job my trooper outfit is white then
