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...

Re: The All Things Twitch Prime/Amazon Prime Thread

Thanks, I picked up BG2. It comes with Throne of Bhaal too.

I only own a DVD version of it and never tried the enhanced version.

Re: Starfield has a release date

But isn't it the case that the game will likely play fine (or as fine as you would expect for Bethesda) on both AMD and nvidia cards on PC anyway? Or am I missing something here? Plus, surely they were always going to partner with AMD anyway due to the console market. I wouldn't be surprised if this...

Re: Film analysis

There was just a care-free, un-stifled attitude to mainstream film-making back then. I don't know if we'll ever see that again.

Re: Ukraine

Yeah, they lost some Ka-52's to Wagner's AA apparently - and they are like gold dust to the Russian army. So I can't believe for a moment this was in any way intentional.

Re: General Gaming News

BL2 is still my favourite. It just 'feels' right. The locations are great, the vibe is perfect and it's great fun. Replayed it so many times...

BL3 wasn't anywhere near as memorable, even if it did have some improved elements.

Perhaps I should move to Yorkshire if it has its own dry climate. That would be bliss.

Re: Starfield has a release date

This looks bloody amazing. They finally got a decent engine it seems. Actual real time lighting!

I still have an i5 4570 though, although my GPU meets the requirements. I hardly play games any more but I'd be willing to dive into this I think, if my PC could handle low settings.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

I think that's the problem in the UK, especially in south England. The humidity makes anything over 23C almost unbearable at times. If it was drier heat it wouldn't be a problem.

Plus our homes are mostly designed to trap and hold heat.
