You mean after 8 episodes and 2 more to go, this show with cut and joined half baked episodes should even be nominated?

Unlike other seasons where the story line was directed and focused , this season look confused to the producer, jumping from half written plot to another. I had to wait for 3 weeks before watching 3 episodes straight cos compared to previous seasons, this is the most disjointed of them all.

Episode 8 was a masterpiece though
I pray it ends well. 2 to go
I think you are on your own with that opinion. It's been an enjoyable season for me and many people I know so far. The last three episodes were however more intriguing and action packed than ever.

At the next award season this show must steal many trophies.
TV/MoviesRe: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Bawss1(m): 11:37am On Jun 02, 2015
Actually there is still something to spoil but I think the show is saving it for the season finale. I won't say it though. wink It is from season 6 that we will be able to safely say that the books and TV show have taken completely different parts.

The comment about book readers wishing the books were like the series is inaccurate. Book readers still have a ton of unresolved but entertaining issues the TV show has cut off and has no way of incorporating again.

Not to start any kind of conflict but I think that at the end of the day it is the book readers who will enjoy everything more. They will get to enjoy two different story paths, the books and the TV show, while TV watchers will only enjoy the TV show. If you can lay your hands on the books guys give it a read even if you start from the third installment.

We all know GOT always kills off a beloved character at the end of the season...was thinking Jon Snow was going to bite the bullet today but thank the old gods.....so who do we think is biting it this season?
I'm willing to wager that Ser Barristan's death in episode 04 (?) will be the only big death this season. It's hard to imagine the story continuing without any of the remaining characters at this point. I say this inspite of the history of killing major characters in the show.

Anyone one who says Tyrion is overrated and boring needs to get his head checked, that dude is phenomenally lyrical, savvy and wise. He knows how to manage delicate situations, always having the right words to sway opinions.

He is your everyday politician . . . . . .His scene with Daenarys was epic and captivating grin

The Otter's came with some mean swag . . .Damn ! Their gallant strides is intimidating and decisive . . . . . .


But shout out to that giant abeg, his has genuine anger issues and that should be sustained. The guy no just get joy at all . . . . . cool
For reals, man. Tyrion has the gift for gab. He can talk his way out of any situation or circumstance. He is certainly more than your everyday politician, he is in a class of his own. Someone who is almost as skilled as he is, although decidedly more evil, is Little Finger. These two men can sell water to a well.

Was Jon's sword made from Valyrian steel?

Either way the crows and the wildlings have better beef up their supply of dragon glass. They'll certainly be needing it.

Episode 8 was kind of like watching WWZ part 2. Awesome! cheesy

There I was expecting to see the wildlings marching quietly in twos through the wall with Jon supervising from a corner as described in the books only for my eyes to confront what turned out to be The Escape From Wildlings Country. Interesting stuff I say.

Episode 08 is certainly the most action episode of the current season yet. At one point I thought I was watching WWZ 2, in a good way though. Jon's fight with the white walker commander was something, heck the entire battle scene with the walkers pressing at the gates was well done.

I hope the crows and the wildlings have enough dragon glass, they certainly will be needing it in the near future.

Ayra's training in the House of B&W is coming along nicely. Seems like she is shaping up to be a Robin Hood type assassin for now.

Theon finally finds his tongue and tells Sansa that her younger brothers are still alive. It was refreshing, at least for me, that she has found some modicum of hope... Now how to plan her emacipation from Ramsay...

Can't help but think that Ramsay's request for 20 good man to take on Stannis at his camp will be his undoing. Let's see how that all goes.

This was quite an enjoyable episode, looking forward to the remaining 2.
PhonesRe: Scientists Discover Smartphone Which Can Detect Parasite In The Blood by Bawss1(m): 9:59pm On May 16, 2015
OP needs to reword the title of this thread, this is not a discovery it is just product development. A discovery refers to unearthing a naturally occurring phenomenon, smartphones are not naturally occurring. Thats why we don't say, for example, Honda discovered a new Accord, that would be ridiculous.

Many people may not be bothered about this but can the mods kindly correct the wording of this thread's title? It should read Mayweather DEFEATS Manny Pacquiao... not WINS. Manny Pacquiao is not the prize here he is the opponent. You do not win your opponent, you win a prize, the opponent is defeated.

Cheers

PhonesRe: 4 Embarasing Mistakes That Led To Nokia Downfall by Bawss1(m): 2:15pm On May 02, 2015
help3852:
Nokia's main problem was Techno, Techno produced cheaper phones, used Nokia's Blue color trademark. Techno also affected Samsung, they had to drop prices
Nobody knows Tecno outside of Nigeria, it is basically a local brand. Even in China Tecno is an oddity. How could they have been a threat to Nokia?

You are assuming that all the competitions in the mobile space take place only in Nigeria and that is not correct. It is the combined effect of competition in all the continents that determines the fate of mobile brands like Samsung and Nokia.

It's comments like this that draw my out of my lair... How does enabling access to android apps in the Windows store translate to abandoning the Lumia project? Did MS say that they will no longer be developing Windows OS? I don't think that you appreciate what impact MS's decision will have in the computer and mobile industry as they develop a single OS that can support any form factor. Everyday, for the past 4 years, people like you have announced the death of MS's windows phone yet its still around and growning.

@Those who always say that Nokia should have adopted Android earlier - I talked myself hoarse on this forum explaining that Nokia would have struggled just as Sony, HTC and other big time OEMs are struggling under android. Samsung is the king of the android hill and while they face increasing competition from new Chinese OEMs like Xiaomi and Lenovo [s](no, Tecno is not a threat to Samsung despite what many Nigerians imagine)[/s] they would have proved a costly rival to Nokia had Nokia fully joined the android team.

People keep recycling this topic and saying the same wrong things over and over again, I guess everyone wants to be seen as an expert on the demise of Nokia.

So I finally finished watching season 2 of The Newsroom. It was very well done(witty dialogues, great storyline and acting) but my issue with it was the realism angle. As with the first season I found it hard to believe that all those intelligent characters would be given to periodic outbursts of loud emotions. All those shouting matches in the office struck me as unreal. How did you get past that?

Anyway will slowly burn through the third and final season.

I always wondered where the president elect would stay before inauguration. Defence House. Hmmm, will check it out.

BTW I thought it was believed that Buhari had no house in Abuja, how come this report says he had been operating out of his private residence in Asokoro?

Anyway, off to Maitama for some sight seeing.

GamingRe: Call Of Duty Vs. Battlefield: Which Is The Better FPS Game? by Bawss1(m): 8:39pm On Apr 22, 2015
I think for people who want greater realism in military shooters that Battlefeld is the way to go. COD has a massive following but it's a bit watered down. You guys must have noticed how in COD your soldier can only run in short bursts after which he tires, very annoying especially when you want to make a fast getaway! Duck behind a wall or tree and you are invincible to bullets in COD, in BF the wall will eventually collasp after taking repeated fire - it only shields you temporarily. Of course this leads me to mention levolution in BF, that added dynamism of the maps. You can literally take down buildings and trigger ship wrecks! Imagine you are on the top of a sky scrapper taking out targets below, a few minutes later the whole building comes tumbling down with you apparently from tanks firing at the base or C4 charges placed by enemies. That feeling - that's a Battlefield moment.

In all they are both great games and debates on which is really better depend on the tastes of the player. I think I lean towards to BF.

Looking towards China is a better way forward for our country because they are quite advanced in technologies and are willing to share ideas and invest in countries like Nigeria without quietly demanding control over key sectors in such countries. Thesame cannot be said about uncle Sam......, thus this is not a good move for Nigeria if we want to move forward.
Many people on this forum are under the illusion China, or Russia are angelic nations willing to help others without any self interest.

You people need to wake up from lalaland.

Well, continuously wait for those nations to spoon-feed you - Africa is prolly where she is today because we have leaders that believed that they can only have a self sufficient nation by sucking up to the asss of the West.

You must be a super dunce not to know that all forms of payment might not come monetarily and you do not need military alliances to secure trade deals for military hardware and training.


Like I said, go read up something and stop watching CNN all day .

FYI African magic is not a NEWS or diplomatic channel , use a better analogy whenever you want to mock your sorry asss next time

SMH.

All you have done is scoff and scorn at a widely accepted strategy; Provide a reasonable alternative to forming alliances for nations. Maybe the whole world can learn something from you.

[b]If you read through my last post you will see where I clearly stated that you have some point but your freeloading African mentality won't let you see beyond the gains of running into an alliance with a country that has the penchant for running a country from their own Government house and doing everything including sabotage and assassination to effect a regime change.

You don't need to ally with them to receive those training always pay for them and get the respect you deserve and you have hundreds of countries that are more than willing to give these training.

Once you enter into the alliance with any superpower with nothing to contribute then you should be rest assured that you're a pawn.

I hope you are aware that some countries were used as test base for some dangerous weapons they can't test in their own home soil due to the litigation that would follow because of the health implications associated with such weapons and too many scandals and the recent one that happened with the pharmaceutical company called Pfizer that carried out test on children in Kano and parted with some millions of dollars when the scandal became a public knowledge - I can bet my asss that they would have paid until they go bankrupt it that incident had happened in their own country.....

No world power is your friend , go figure..........[/b]
You haven't provided any reasonable alternative to alliances na....oh wait, you say we should pay for the assistance or training. Hahahahaha, you must be a certified comedian. Go and offer any of these countries monetary payment for military assistance then come back and tell us well you fared.

You better stop getting ideas from Africa Magic.

Go read up your history books and stop watching CNN all day.
cheesy
I can only conclude that you hold very naive views when it comes to alliances and international relations. Nobody enters into any alliance with any nation whether Russian, Chinese, NATO or what have you with the expectations that there will be a complete knowledge transfer, the expectations are spelt out in specific terms. What nations do is weigh if those terms best cater for their interests in the immediate, medium and long term.

Say Nigeria enters into a military agreement with the US, the agreements are stated i.e a particular type of weapons training, maintenance or supply of equipment, logistics support etc, for a stated time frame. Nigeria or any nation does not go in expecting that because they have an agreement the US will automatically make their vast arsenal available for Nigeria's use. As I have repeatedly said here, it is the very nature of the agreement that is of high importance.

Consider: will it not be better to have some measure of assistance or knowledgLe from a military superpower instead of nothing at all?
