Re: The Last Of Us

Yep, it was a superb season of television. One of the best starts to a TV show I've seen in a long time. I since discovered by accident a certain plot development of Part2, which is a bit irritating as a non-gamer who wanted to go in completely fresh to season 2. I won't repeat it here obviously. Bu...

Re: Starfield has a release date

Yeah, in terms of general Bethesda-bashing, its' worth mentioning Skyrim is one of my favourite games (and most played games) of all time. So I don't agree with there being a fundamental issue with their approach to making games. 95% of the greatness in Skyrim came from everything other than the mai...

I'm just cheesed off because we could have had a TES VI by now instead. :x

Re: General Film News

Even the supposedly great Avengers movies I was starting to find too busy, ill-focused and a little tiresome tbh at the time, so any chance of me going to see any of these endless identikit variations they pump out these days are zero. Same goes for the TV shows. Although I'm maybe not the target ma...

Re: How would you best articulate feeling and dealing with 'Gamer Guilt'?

The thing with online gaming is you do need to invest a chunk of time into them each week to get the most out of them, I remember that vividly from my Countrstrike: Source days. You can't just dedicate an hour to them 3 or 4 times a week I found. I think Dave, it's obvious you don't need to justify ...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

I think it's a brilliant film, and the general public reviews are all in the top echelon, unlike Tenet. But then I have no issue whatsoever with non-linear storytelling, so there's nothing holding it back for me. It's so well directed by Nolan, the way he composes scenes is beautiful to look at. It'...

Re: Tech assistance required!

If you have a multimeter, there is a way of checking the voltage throughput to see if the PSU is working fully or not. I've done it myself before when trying to work out whether it was the PSU or MOBO that's kaput (for me, it was the mobo). Sometimes when PSU's begin to fail they squeeze out enough ...

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

Even if they could have got it moving and firing, for much of the war Allies could send fighter-bomber raids at will across German front lines. It would be such a massive, slow target for Mosquitoes to get stuck into.

Re: Tim Woodwark?

I left WooF back in 2012 or thereabouts. If I recall they set up another forum, but it was a private proboards one.

If you search around for it you might find it. Not sure if Tim's still knocking about there or not.

Re: Starfield has a release date

One of the great things about Skyrim and Fallout 4 was the familiarity and sense of place in the world. You could climb up that distant mountain you see from a village, then eventually look back across the land from the mountain and see that village in the distance. Or that skyscraper in the citysca...

Re: General Gaming News

Noooo, was hoping for them to get the license for Commandos one day and do a remake.

Shadow Tactics is an absolute classic. Definitely my favourite of theirs.

Re: The F1 thread

Glock didn't let Hamilton past, he could barely make the wet corners on his slicks while Hamilton had the correct tyres on. I think Massa's been really poorly advised here. I do like him, he had a rough time with that head injury and he was unlucky to miss out - but this isn't going to help his repu...

Re: Currently Reading

Yeah, the first 3 books especially are definitely worth a read. Personally always felt he lost his way from the 4th book onwards, it all got rather bogged down, but it doesn't take away how good the first 3 were.

Re: General Film News

Talking of bombs, from what I've read the new Indy film needs $1bn box office to break even, maybe more depending on who you believe. Could be a monumental loss for Disney.

Re: The All Things Twitch Prime/Amazon Prime Thread

I played it a couple of years ago I think, for the most part it's really well done but I would personally pass on the new Beamdog content as honestly it's nowhere near as good as the original Bioware content Yeah, I'd heard something along those lines. I've loaded up the main game to see how it loo...
