Re: Warhammer 40k: Rogue Traders - new Owlcat RPG

Aaaaand finished! Just the 3-odd months of playing almost daily to get to the end :lol: I'm not sure if it's because I was playing so slowly - as part of featuring a daily, hour-long video on my channel - but I really enjoyed it all the way to the end, without the same fatigue WB reported feeling in...

Re: General Gaming News

Another interesting point in the video, when talking about the increasing cost of games to buy, is official licenses... AAA publishers are paying big bucks for the rights to have a recognisable IP for their game, the cost of which is then passed onto players. Players then in turn are rejecting these...

Re: General Gaming News

For sure. I can't even remember the last time I didn't play a AA or indie game in favour of playing a AAA-game, let alone paying full-price for one. I found their thoughts on the market's rejection of the new £70 price-point publishers are pushing (perniciously!) interesting, it makes sense sales ar...

Pretty nice breakdown of what went on, including interviews with some of the actors and customers:

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

Yeah, I really liked the James Clavell novel and liked the 80s version, so looking forward to watching Shogun... I'm just waiting for a few more to be released as I hate having to wait a week between episodes!

Re: Currently Playing

Glad they've done a proper job with the remaster, however it's not one I ever played way back when so without that nostalgia think I'll skip it... that said, if they ever remaster Jedi Knight I'll be all over that!

Some reports of a massive data breach at Epic, including account and payment details (Epic currently denying it though fwiw):

Re: Currently Playing

Balatro I've been waiting for this poker based roguelike for a while as I really enjoyed the demo. Ended up playing for a few hours last night and really enjoyed it. First run I managed to get a win but subsequent ones didn't quite work out as I struggle to build synergies into the deck. It's going...

Pirates used to inject mercury down their Japs eye as a treatment for syphilis. True story.
That needs including.
Arguably a better way to spend £70

Re: Skull & Bones PC

It takes real skill to take a game you made 12 years previously and make it worse in every regard, well done Ubisoft!

Re: Currently Reading

Yep, same. I'm working my way through some Anthony Ryan epic fantasy at the moment, started with Blood Song, which I think was his first, which was excellent, but then felt like the 2nd and 3rd books of that trilogy became a bit of a slog. Basically because he went from one character perspective wit...

Domino-hoohoo.

It's not a thing. It will never be a thing. Stop trying to make it a thing. I would say it has actively made me never want a domino's pizza again but that ship sailed the last time I had a domino's pizza.
