Re: General TV News

Here we go then; The Boys Season 4, June 13th. As with every trailer for The Boys, it might be worth avoiding if you want to go in fresh as there's tons of probably brilliant surprises in there, but then they usually fill the season with so many of the things that it must be difficult choosing which...

Re: Celebs are still dropping off....

Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending!

One of my absolute favourite scenes in all of cinema, and a large part of that was Bernard Hill. His delivery is so powerful and convincing that you could absolutely believe that horde of men would follow him into the jaws of hell.

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

I also watched it last night. It's a good half-hour too long, and it doesn't really hold a candle to John Wick, either in choreography or world-building, but the last half hour or so is very enjoyable.

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

I lost what had been my first pet last year. Despite not having seen her for two years (she belonged to my ex), it still hurt as much as losing any member of my family ever has. This is one of those things that people that don't own pets don't really comprehend; people can form bonds with animals th...

Re: Aaand, In Other News...

Christ, people were joking about it being a dangerous world for Boeing whistleblowers after the first alleged suicide, and it's actually happened? Is it just the case that there are so many whistleblowers because there are so many problems at the company, and this is actually just a reasonable morta...

Re: General Gaming News

BG3 certainly had a falloff, I don't think a single-player game would ever not, but the current numbers are more than ten times that of Starfield's.

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

So I finished Fallout. I think my enthusiasm dipped a bit by the end; there's clearly a ton of love for the source material, and it's the most faithful game-TV/film adaptation I can think of in terms of aesthetic (and it must have cost a fortune to make as a result), but the tone just didn't seem to...

Re: General Gaming News

I think there will be plenty of people looking forward to it. Starfield is one of those games about which the agenda was set by the people who didn't like it and ignores the thousands of people who did like it. Because the general consensus was that it would be a hit in the same way Skyrim was when...

Re: Currently Playing

It's certainly appealing looking for me, but I read a review that said that healing items are consumables that don't get automatically replenished, and you have to gather materials to craft them. That's an instant deal-breaker for me; I like games that are challenging, but the second you make me gri...

Re: Elden Ring

I've ended up giving this another try after two years of saying I wouldn't. I'd gotten pretty good at Jedi Survivor so figured maybe I'm just better at this genre now, and I've had so little trouble compared to my first attempt when the game was first released. I'm not sure what it was, but previous...

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

I finished watching The Three Body Problem last night. It was pretty good for the most part, the premise is a fun one that I was constantly expecting them to subvert as a twist at some point, but that thankfully didn't materialise. There are a handful of things that I think you have to suspend your ...
