  1. Nerds AND Moms? I love Fillion, and his last role as a super hero was unforgettable. *Dr Horribles Sing Along Blog.
  2. I've not actually played Uncharted 3 yet, and I've sold my PS3. How important is that game in the grand scheme of things?
  3. Picked up Enslaved and Shadowrun Returns via Steam.
  4. Titanfall and its massive 50GB download is currently free (for the weekend) on Origin.

      Lol @ FLD. Are you fucking serious? They're offering a 2 day trial (such an original concept) and you're trying that hard to shit on it? This is only a big deal because it's a game you've actually heard of and not shitty indie multiplayer game on steam that's free for a weekend weekend that you'll only buy because it's dirt cheap.

      Lol. Really? You think that was shitting on it? I was just making an observation. They're sure as shit not doing this out of the kindness of their hearts and wouldn't be doing it at all if Titanfall was selling as much as they want it to.

      @Cowboy I'm getting 40mb down atm, but there was a 3 years stretch (before cable) that i was getting less than 1mbps 90% of the time. It took almost 30 hours to download Max Payne 3 over 3 successive nights. If possible, I'm never moving again.

       

  5. Whenever I hear people working on a videogame throw around the words 'art' and 'narrative' I find it hard to take them seriously. Even the best video game stories struggle to rise above the level of an average schlocky TV show; and whilst they've got to focus on people actually playing the game, I don't think that's likely to change. Truth be told, whilst I enjoyed Uncharted 1/2, I think it's quality was a little overblown by a public who's desperate to have something they can push into the mainstream as an example of how grown up and sophisticated video games have become. It'll probably be another Uncharted game. We'll run around, gunning down countless bad guys and supernatural....things, enjoy Drake being Drake and probably get frustrated at the number of murder rooms we have to fight through.
  6. Indies are all well and good, but I've played 90% of them on my PC already, and if I've not then chances are they're not that interesting to me, or I can get them for 80% cheaper on the PC. Had I known what I know now about Sony's plans for the Vita going forward, I probably wouldn't have invested. It's a real shame as it's a lovely bit of kit that they've basically decided to stop developing for it as a separate platform, and that's a real shame.
  7. EU only as far as I know. I'm sure it'll pop up on ps+ at some point though.
  8. Just bought FEZ. Super cheap on PSN with cross buy. Not sure if I'm going to play it on Vita or PS4 just yet though. Also Tapatalk won't let me upload photographs..it's annoying.
  9. You're just jealous we won Olympic gold in both men's and women's ice hockey this year. And you've got 7 fantastic NHL teams that are always fighting for championships...
  10. I just couldn't get used to controlling my dude without the mouse when I tried the Vita version. I was finding myself in trouble a few floors into the game, and it put me off. Can't wait for Hotline II however, but that'll definitely be a PC pick-up. Wind Waker HD. I can finally cross this off of my list of shame. Game was pretty fun (I'm not a massive Zelda guy), although they did that annoying thing they seem to do in all Zelda games where they throw boring content in at the end in order to make the game longer. I wish we saw more games in this style. Could you imagine them doing something like this with a mainstream Mario game? I'd be all over that.
  11. Dom Hemingway I think I liked this film. It's a little weak plot wise, and its got a stylised (which will put people off), but I thought Jude Law was magnificent, and it will probably get a rewatch at some point.
  12. Won some money, thinking about getting an SSD. Advice?

      Higher than 256gb usually doesn't perform as well. So that's the sweet spot currently.

      I was looking into getting an external (USB 3.0) SSD since I'm working on VMs and there's no option to upgrade my work laptop to have a native SSD.

      Threads not aboud SSD choices but it does have speed tests. I'm looking into getting the Samsung EVO 840 (500GB is around 249 USD).

      I've seen a few Crucial ones on HDUK going for below £150. Any preference when it comes to brand?

  13. Looks like they're going for a Captain Reynolds feel with the main dude, that's the impression I get from this trailer at least which seems to have tried to broaden the films appeal. Still excited though.
  14. I need to get back into that game, the 5 hours I played of it were pretty enjoyable. Strikes me as the sort of game that'd be perfectly for a lazy Sunday evening.
  15. This looks like the sort of house I'd try to build for my sim, good work.
  16. That's still £15 cheaper than I'll have to pay. Hoorah for staff discount.
  17. **According to Google $CAN53 is £29 Great.
  18. Fruitvale Station. It's a fairly simplistic 're-telling' of the last day of the victim of the Fruitvale BART Station shooting (Oscar something - his name escapes me). It times you can see the director adding additional moments into the film, the scene with the dog especially; but it still works for people who weren't aware of this incident. It left me annoyed and a little distressed. Certainly worth a watch, just don't expect a film that tells the story of this guys final day without taking a few liberties.
  19. I'll probably pick this up at work with discount, I've not played it at all and there's sod all else out in July so it'll give me something to play.
  20. On a selfish note, I wouldn't mind seeing some NHL material.
  21. I was really liking the INSIDE art style. It reminded me a little of Kentucky Route Zero, and i loved LIMBO so i'm totally hot for this game.
  22. Got my Dew, my Doritos and a comfy seat. Lets get this party on the road!! yeah!
