“and adds to toxicity in a variety of ways”

Don’t worry, we’re Australians, we’re here to help.

It sounds cool, but I think I’ll wait for the DLC that makes it not run like absolute dogshit on a PC that exceeds the reccomended requirements.

Yeah, too right on that. Okay, say you don’t like the show - so, in what world is the appropriate response to go around hurling abuse at people like a fucking maniac, instead of, oh I don’t know, turning it off and not watching it?

To be perfectly honest, I think either way, it would be the wrong Chris Evans. Because to borrow a quote, it’s just a TV show, you should just relax. What kind of overwrought fucking psycho would someone have to be to go about hurling abuse at people over a TV show that they can just - and stop me if this is just too…

While I seem to have liked it more than you did, I agree on that point - the worst thing the show could do is have a slavish devotion to the previous version’s style. If they’re going to learn something from prior incarnations of Top Gear, it’s that you shouldn’t just try to be the last group - That’s how Clarkson’s…

Sources at this time cannot confirm if the owner was playing Adele on the stereo at the time of the incident.

While I had my quibbles with it, on the whole, it was enjoyable. I mean, not a patch on the previous incarnation, but shit man, first episode, I’ll give them a break.

Nah, I want them to do something interesting, not just rehash the last series.

“Honestly, at this point I’d watch it purely out of spite, after having to endure all that tabloid shite Murdoch’s rags put out about the production”

What can I say? When you’re immune to death like we are, you get a bit cocky sometimes. Sure, the whole finding a fake body and going underground for a few years is a bit tedious, but it has to be done - if the other nations found out, we’d end up having to rule the world one way or another, and that sounds like a…

No worries mate, happens to all of us. Hope your day improves!

Oh, sorry. Bit hard to distinguish a sarcastic two-word reply from the legion of people who are entirely serious when they do the same thing, so I missed that one.

No idea, I’ve never really looked - I mean, you can get clips, but whole shows, no clue. I only remember because Top Gear has been syndicated in my country since the days of Old Old Top Gear - Aunty Beeb looks favorably upon our national broadcasters(ABC and SBS) so we’ve always had a lot of BBC programming in…

Hey, no worries mate. I’ve criticized you in the past, it’s only right that I also step up and give you a cheer when you do a good job.

And thanks for the detailed answer, too. As harsh on you as I’ve been, I don’t think you were ever setting out with ill intent - we’re both professionals in the same trade(albeit, not…

Fair cop, fair cop. I see where you’re coming from now, you’re right, I should have just said “Americans.” Muffed it a bit there, my mistake.

To be honest, I haven’t seen that clip of him taking out Hill for a very, very long time, so I don’t remember how it went down, other than the fact that he took him out one way or another.

Or even Old New Top Gear - They had a different host(Jason Dawes) for the first season, and the second season was pretty forgetable.

Which will almost certainly go to appeal(before you say it - Gawker can afford to front the cash to prove their right to appeal, and it’s not like they have to pay out if they win), and I’d be stunned if they didn’t win on appeal.

I’ve been hard on you before, Ballaban, but two thumbs up for this one.
