Yeah me too but in the end, I didn't.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yeah my mate said Hollow Knight is like the 2D Bloodborne. I got an erection hearing that hahaI was just talking to some guys about getting the logo of the game tattooed on my arm, so yeah, I pretty much love it to bits.The game itself like most souls/from games is excellent, but the world design, theme and lore just takes the experience to another level. Can't describe it in words.
Oh and I always felt Hollow Knight's gameworld design and even some enemy and boss placements were heavily inspired from it,
There's a graveyard of dreams revolving around BB PC port, BB remaster, BB remake, BB2...
There's something in me that is happy that decided to just leave this masterpiece untouched.
Why?
Yeah in a few things that's true, but HK is definitely not a souls-like overall, but it's nice to see some general similarities. Team Cherry are pretty big souls fans anyway. Talking of which, if you haven't go and watch/play (only possible on PC) the fan-made DLC for Hollow Knight. It's just incredible.
Because I only have a Switch.
I'll check that out!

I can still watch Blackadder every few weeks. Still makes me chuckle at its best.
Remember that time when you were excited to download and play Silksong? Maybe around 2 years ago?
Thanks. Yeah that was when my youngest was born... she's nearly 3 nowRemember that time when you were excited to download and play Silksong? Maybe around 2 years ago?

A show I have seen and needed a shower straight after.
Chernobyl is the highest ranked show that didn't make anyone's number 1 spot.

Yeah it's very good, but not the best.
As we're doing favourite shows, this was expected. It's not the kind of thing you can watch repeatedly.
Yes, it's very well made, I just wish they had the balls to actually use Ukrainians and Russians for the roles.
I should have put this as my number 1 just to get a mention here. The fact that it was a ground-breaking show in the very early 90s and then came back 25 years later and was still so unique and mind-bending really makes it unique among television. It packs so many themes into what is, to me, a compelling and bingeable story. So many incredible moments. I understand it's not for everyone (I also love Refn's two shows immensely), but it's an incredible work of art, greater than just almost every other show on this Top 30 list.
Fantastic show but couldn't get over the fact that Dyatlov never said shit on it.
Nah, i gave up on it in season 2. Its well written but nothing happens, its just the same situation rolling on and on and on with no meaningful resolution. Doesn't help that every character is a total piece of shit. I get they got there in the end but i didn't care at that point, a few funny zingers an episode wasn't enough to keep me interested
Yep i preferred it

I thought this was superb and thoroughly gripping TV. One of the best and most memorable things I’ve watched, despite only being a handful of episodes.No. 8 - Chernobyl

Gave up with this halfway through the first season. Seemed decent enough but just not my jam.
Thee is a big jump in points between this and the top 6, which will be coming up tomorrow.

Think Mad Men maintained the most consistently high standard of any of the top shows. It maybe doesn’t really hit the heights of some of the others (although I think at its best it most certainly did), but there’s no real dip, no weak season, no bad episodes that stand out.
I gave up after 5!
Never seen it. All I hear is people saying it’s boring, but I still might watch it one day.No. 7 - Mad Men

It's pretty slow from what I've seen and I'm not about that. It's very well made and written though. I just don't have the patience for something like this.
It's ok. Definitely overrated. I don't think I finished it, got to season 3/4 before I lost interest.
Should be higher. Incredible characters, some of the best character development, very clever plots, fantastic window into 60s New York. Everyone should watch it through.
Also season 1 Betty Draper is worth the price of admission - not to go full EAP
Superb show. You feel immersed in the world they create and the commentary on Consumerism rings true today as it did then
Mad men is so good, I really need to rewatch it. Watched few episodes randomly on TV last few weeks and it reminded me how great it is.
Yep, easily one of the pretiest women ever on TV show, IMO.
Alison Brie (Campbell’s wife) is up there too.
Yeah, also Jon Hamm, I would be his little bitch
Joan Harris and Don Draper were the more striking, and also better, characters.
Those people probably call bcs boring as well. I would be surprised if it doesn't go to your top 20, at least, once you watch it.
Mad Men is amazing. Not much really happens, but it’s just great vibes. All about the brilliant characters and how cool it makes the era look. Don Draper, Peggy, Roger, Pete, some of the best written tv characters ever.
Never read Lovecraft, keep meaning to get into it. I did read The King in Yellow by Robert Chambers while TD was airing after finding out it influenced the show's mythology. Which book would suggest first for someone new to HPL? Is there a correct order?
2nd season really did fall completely flat. I don't remember much from it but I do recall thinking Vince Vaughan was horribly miscast.
Read the Yellow King too because of TD but I wasn't really caught by it. Think the first story was already the best for me.
It's been a while since I properly read Lovecraft. Call of Cthulhu obviously, think Whisperer in the Dark, Colour out of Space were quite memorable, personally I like Shadows over Innsmouth very much. I liked also his short stories set in New England around the Arkham area, no idea how they're named though. If you can appreciate audiobooks there is the HP Lovecraft Society which produced pretty awesome audiobooks of all his works. Think some are free to get an idea.
