Re: General Gaming News

Of course. It's just so difficult to come up with gaming success in one of the most wildly successful franchises in history.

Re: General Gaming News

It's been pretty bloody difficult to be a Star Wars single-player videogame fan in the decade EA held exclusive rights to the license. It's just been promising project after promising project cancelled. Respawn did a fantastic job on Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor (and both of which have been, I thi...

Re: Currently Playing

I would walk through fire for a TIE Fighter remaster. While Dark Forces was my first experience of Star Wars, TIE Fighter was undoubtedly the best Star Wars game back then (and arguably still is the best in many respects). Same. The fans did a good job with the remaster / remake that's been release...

Re: Currently Playing

I watched a little bit of Ian Higton playing it earlier, and it looked like an incredible remaster. Faithful in all of the ways that matter but with new 4K textures and sprites (none of it looks up-resed). It's exactly what I'd want from a remaster. I'll probably pick it up at some point too because...

Re: The 'Look What the Postman Brought Me' Thread - Technology Edition

I bought the unpainted models from Imperial Terrain . They're not hugely expensive, and I think it was worth it to get a bunch of good buildings from a matching set, rather than just a load of half-decent ones that don't really look like they go together. I've spent about $50, and I've only printed ...

Re: The 'Look What the Postman Brought Me' Thread - Technology Edition

I took a quick shot of my current Legion layout with the new pieces prior to painting. The dome-shaped hut at the far end was the largest thin I ever produced from my resin printer. The tower in the middle is the one from the first post after painting. https://i.imgur.com/nAph1D9.jpeg https://i.imgu...

Re: General Film News

I saw a comment on Eurogamer suggesting that Handsome Jack was almost certainly going to be in a post-credits scene, and I can't help but agree. And yes, Starr would make a fantastic Jack, he's got just the right level of enthusiasm and menace. Was Atlas even a character? I thought it was just a cor...

Re: General Film News

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU_NKNZljoQ& Not really sure what to think of that, but I can't say I'm that enthusiastic. Given how much I loved Borderlands 2 (but liked each subsequent entry progressively less), I don't think I like how they've taken parts from the whole franchise and jammed them ...

Re: General Film News

That *could* be really good, and I guess I'm a little surprised that nobody's made a good modern-day US Civil War film (to my knowledge anyway), when it's a scenario that looked surprisingly realistic a few years back. Other than the ironic use of America the Beautiful, it doesn't look like it's ful...

Re: The 'Look What the Postman Brought Me' Thread - Technology Edition

I recently started playing Star Wars: Legion (basically Star Warshammer), and while I made a few little hills that looked reasonably good out of foam and sculptamould and plaster, I wanted some buildings too and just don't want to commit the amount of time it takes to make each one by hand. I do hav...

Re: Helldivers 2 - Snowy's potted review

For people who've not picked it up yet but are thinking about it, it may be worth holding off a few days. They've added a maximum player limit to the servers as a temporary measure for server stability, meaning you now can't necessarily play when you want to. There's no queue number either so you ha...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

I just generally assume that Trump is running because he wants to pardon himself for his many, many crimes. What baffles me is why it is not standard across the world for anyone seeking public office to have to take a basic mental competency test. Nothing complicated, just the sort of test that's us...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

I still find it hysterical and utterly depressing that these two sentences can appear next to each other. https://i.imgur.com/6iHuJgG.png He's not just a liar, he's a recently convicted liar, and yet that's not seen as a hindrance to running to be the most powerful man in the country. The utter hypo...

Re: Currently Playing

Should probably mention I have a 5120x1440 resolution display as well so that's almost 4k too.
