Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

We started watching FROM last week and are already halfway through season two. Really enjoying it so far. Shades of Lost and The Leftovers, which are probably my two all time favourite shows, but this is becoming a contender if it stays strong.

Re: General Gaming News

One of my favourite parts of that game was rebuilding the roads to make deliveries between the big depots really easy. It was so satisfying getting a truck and just loading it to max with deliveries along the route. Also building a comprehensive zip line network through the snowy mountain areas - es...

Re: Currently Playing

I started playing No More Heroes on Switch last night. Not played it before and it seems pretty fun so far. I also started Sifu on Xbox which seems cool too, only beaten the first boss so far though. I hardly get much time to play these days, it used to be after the kids had gone to bed but now they...

Re: Elden Ring

I'm about 70 hours in to this, around level 75 and mainly put most my points in to Dex and Endurance. Trying to level up intelligence now through just to access a few spells. But man, this game is incredible. Every time I go on I'm finding new stuff, even in areas I thought I'd totally cleared. I've...

One of my all time favorite comic series, but after Preacher and The Boys, which were OK but not amazing, I'm not overly convinced. Quietly hopeful, though.

Re: A great big thread about comics

Sounds interesting, never read much horror stuff outside of Alan Moore's Lovecraftian books. I'm currently making my way through the Batman No Man's Land saga - there's a lot of reading, over 100 issues! Also still keeping up with American Gods, which is almost wrapped up now. I'm also dipping in an...

I thought Spelunky came out far before 2010 (whenever they're starting this "decade").
2008 was the original version, but it got fully remade and commercially released in 2012.

Re: EDGE 339 - Christmas 2019

That's a fairly dreadful list for games of the decade. I wonder what their criteria for selection was.

Re: Welcome to Blade Runner month !

Is it really Blade Runner month, as in that's actually a thing? I've been meaning to rewatch it for months now before watching the new(ish!) one, which I still haven't got round to seeing. Seems like a good time!

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 [PS4, XBone] - PC in November

I'd love to have a mammoth PC to play this on maximum settings. Even the base PS4 version was mesmerisingly beautiful. I can't see anything toppling it off my all time favorite game spot and time soon.

Re: Hideo Kojima presents Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding, a Kojima Productions game by Hideo Kojima [PS4]

I just wish he'd do a remaster of Policenauts using the English fan translation. Played around half of that game, and it's brilliant. Would love a Switch port.

I wanted tickets for Nick Cave in May next year, but they're too pricy :( Put some heavy hints out though, so fingers crossed for a Christmas present...

Re: The Witcher - The Netflix Series

I think it looks good, and The Witcher 3 is still my second favourite game of all time. I can't wait to add it to my Netflix list and never watch it, personally.

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

We watched Summer Of 84 the other night. I enjoyed it and thought it had a great ending. It's a homage to the slasher flicks of the 80s in many ways, and has a killer soundtrack.
