  1. well the game runs for me so I'd say yeah worthwhile. (unless you're one of those people that think the delay was so there wouldn't be any patches or updates at all)
  2. I guess it's much the same as the whooping n hollering you can get at E3 when some new mechanic is shown off.
  3. Some fancy experimental thing from Adobe for applying hand drawn textures to 3D models automagically. I remember years ago when they demod Context Aware and it was mindblowing stuff n now it's just another tool.
  4. Yeah I usually go with slack, mainly cos it's easiest. Just gotta make sure the wires are kept out of the way of the blades really.
  5. Pretty much only complaints I've ever seen of cd key sites is publishes n their lapdogs. I've never had a bother n get to reap the benefit of globalisation us peons aren't meant to have.
  6. I'd guess in case your PSU\case lack matching holes? I've noticed there has been a change in PSU design recent years, especially with most cases putting it on bottom instead of top.
  7. @tfg: welshmen complaining their bed smells of sheep. What's the world coming to. @dan: finally got it?
  8. Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them Solid enterance to the HP franchie. It sets up a start with a Daily Pophet style opening to cover bits about Grindlewald so he's obvioulsy the "Voldermort" of this run of films. You can see where the film is going for the most part, but HP films have generally been quite formulaic, though I guess no end of the year to have the climax at here It was a treat to see the magical world again, though they've definelty a bigger budget n advancement of VFX in the years since the battles n such are much more intense n destructive than you'd see in HP films. Jacob, the muggle (hate the "no-maj" term ), was great. Obviously here as the viewer surrogate but a big highlight of the film. Quite interesting to see the cultural differece presented though i think part of it was from being older people involved. So like Newt is sort of the whimsical magician, sorta like Mr Weasley is with his muggle artefacts, whereas many of the american wizards are quite formal. There's touches of politics, such as the US Ministry of Magic (USMA I think?) having a big clock in central foyer that's like the Weasly clock but with the red/orange/yellow terror alert type things. On a professional note some of the compositing was terrible, walking along wet streets without leaving a mark, n a lot of the actor interaction with the fantastic beasts were really poor n really stood out as artificial creations. Also some weird editing near the start that throws the pace a bit, but it needs to set up a few sory threads for the finale payoff I guess. Credence annoyed me cos I couldn't place him n was like "what have I seen him in, surely something within the last year". Got out, got on IMDB. Flash in the Justice League trailer.
  9. Man, post-L Deathnote was not as good.
  10. Suicide Squad My dad picked this one to pop on. I wasn't expecting too much but after ID4:2 I was like "hey maybe films from this year aren't as bad as they're reviewed". I forgot this was follow up to BvS. I's quite pretty and colourful at times which I think works, and Amanda Waller is great. But the film itself is like super bland. No one really has much time to breath n those that do are all made as sympathetic which tbh just shouldn't really be there I think. They're bad guys, it's not really meant to be "oh but underneath they've a heart of gold". Diablo was I think only one that desrved it. At times it can't decide if it's trying to do comedy or not, and much of the comedy falls rather flat. Like in trailers there's a bit where Boomerang opens a can n they're trying to be quiet. This isn't the case in the film, like...in context I've no idea why he has a can. It's just super bland, has no particular set pieces and the chemistry between the cast is pretty much non-existant. At the current rate Wonder Woman and Justice League are solid missable films.
  11. Picked up Pandemic app for £2 on Play.
  12. But then it'll crash windows.
  13. Another Rocketjump video. This time looking at making food for film. I was already aware on the issues of heat in both that your set is usually hot from the lighting, as well as issues of putting hot food with colder items such as salads, so usually most food on camera is stone cold. Figure I'd add this video in too

    Terrible Jokes

    to check the joke is.
  15. Sorry, never much bothered with the crossbow (in most cases it's useful, mainly air enemies, I'd use Aard).
  16. Picked up Room 3 in the Play store black friday sales, and picked up the latest HIB too.
  17. https://youtu.be/PUw_DMaQ264 View of what Tesla cars see.
  18. Big IGN stream thing they di;, interview with Tabata and showing off battle with Midgarsoremrem...solom and Leviathan(which is a bit QTE type, but it is a summon battle). Starts proper at about 17 minutes in and you can probably just stop after the Leviathan battle (after 1:05) cos Tabata then goes on a bit of a legal diatribe against streamers n what not that seemed a bit out of place :/
  19. Gonna see that this weekend with siblings. I have heard that
  20. https://twitter.com/OriginInsider/status/800862851934093315 Not sure if this changes things much, Origin now has wishlists and Gifting.
  21. I'm putting this here cos your president-elect cares more about him than we do: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38060434 Trump has suggested Farage should be the UK ambassador. Now ignoring the fact that Farage is a bit of a shithead, the whole point of an ambassador is we get to pick who we send, not the country we're ambassadoring with. He's not even president yet and he's shitting over pretty much every single diplomatic protocol ever created. Having his wife in on a chat over the phone with Argentinian president, having foreign diplomats stay in his hotel, etc. As article notes it immediately fucks up the relationship with UK since it ignores our current ambassador who is meant to be chatting with Trump & co, and shows a lack of care for the opinion of our current elected government. In other news I think you guys should really be taught a lot more about European history in Early C20th. Mainly that it wasn't the rise of the "alt-right" in Germany.
  22. Now I can load the site: it's the golden joysticks thing. Which I've already picked up. edit: To add that FF Tictacs is on sale on Play n App Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFT_en2 Still kinda "pricey" but compared to usual FF app prices it's a steal
  23. https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/golden-pack/ The site is kinda dead atm, but free games on GMG if you use the code "GREENMANGOLD"
