  1. Same with me. I figure I might throe £5 the way of the developer for making such an awesome game, that way I don't have to feel dirty about spending money for goodies..
  2. Ratatouille - Another under appreciated PIXAR gem, and arguably one of my favourite animations of all time. Lovely little story, some of PIXAR's best animation to date and a gorgeous score. Mud - Tight little coming of age story. Takes a while to get going (when don't they), but after the initial 20 minutes, it kept me entertained right to the end. Some fantastic shots too.
  3. I actually gave up this morning. It took 3-4 minutes for a status update comment to go through. Same in the afternoon, it's working fine now however.
  4. Perhaps Pixar's most under appreciated work to date. Fantastic soundtrack too.
  5. Same as before for me too, very slow this morning.
  6. March 5 2014 18:00GMT UK - Virgin Media Cable - PC
  7. Gravity Second viewing for me; still retains much of what made it such an experience in the theatre. Looks and sounds incredible (curtains closed, lights off), Bullock and Clooney are great, Drama is still gripping and tense. I just wish I cared about the characters a little more. Same complaint as last time though, so I'm considering that a success. For me at least, Gravity holds up to a repeat viewing in your own home.
  8. Have you got the to 2nd to last boss fight yet? In the tower? That boss will live long in the memory.
  9. God I hope its not called 'Dishonored II'. That aside, bring it on.
  10. I'm finding the basic of of traversal to be pretty boring. I've put a solid 7 hours in at this point, and whilst I don't dislike the game, I can see why people have been giving it a hard time. I'm struggling to decide if its a poorly made game, or a game that needed more time for polish.
  11. Steam appears to have dumped 50+ games in my library. I don't own any of them but they're there...Any ideas?

      If it makes you feel better, Steam didn't dump anything on my library

      Spoke to Steam, they've told me to remove myself from the Beta program. Although the games are no longer in my library. So yeah.

      They just updated the beta last night to target that bug.

  12. According to reviews, Thief exists.

  13. Papo & Yo Urgh this game. Maybe it was because I played it to completion in one sitting, but fuck this game pissed me off. I was actually delighted to have it finished and off my to-do list. There's a nice story in here; but its message is totally muted by the frustrating mechanics and bland platforming. Even the puzzle's aren't all that interesting. Shadow Warrior 2013's Bulletstorm? With swords and shit. Trine Didn't seem as long as its sequel, but I still had a good time. That being said, if they lost some of the combat, I wouldn't be disappointed.
  14. Red Dead Redemption Mass Effect Probably the first 360 game I bought after I 'returned to gaming', whilst I don't think its as good a game as ME2, it had much more fun with it. The Witcher 2 Loved this game, so much that I've played it through to completion twice inside 15 months. Can't wait for the 3rd game in the series, and I'm waiting on the rest of the books to receive a translation. A good one preferably.
  15. Hearthstone. I originally played it a few months back during the Beta roll-out, and whilst I did have fun I found myself not wanting to start it up again. Card games aren't usually my thing, but this is super easy to get into, doesn't seem to require me to spend months constructing the perfect deck, and the games aren't too long. I think that ultimately, i'll spend most of my time playing the iPad version when it finally becomes available, but for now I'm officially on the Hearthstone train.
  16. Anyone playing Hearthstone?

      I got pretty into it when I got in the beta last fall but I haven't played in a while. That's the problem with games like this for me, whenever something else steals my attention away for an extended period of time (in this case, I think it was my Vita+Persona 4) then I rarely get back to them.

       

      I liked it a lot, though. I'm sure if I'd just take the time to play a few games it would suck me right back in.

      That's what happened with me. Played a few hours of it last year, left it alone for 2-3 months and loaded it up yesterday. No problems getting into the swing of things hell it was probably my best session. Cannot wait for the game to come out for iOS, it's the perfect 'Sofa time' game for me.

  17. I don't want to say I hate Banished, because there's clearly something there that attracted me to it; but 2 hours in and I've already past the point of giving a hoot about the game. I'll probably never play it again (unless you guy's can persuade me otherwise). I'm not just having any fun with it. I'd start a new game, create some houses for my little dudes and dudettes, then within 2 minutes (on 1x speed) they'd managed to eat our stockpile of food.
  18. The hockey gets interesting today. Sweden v Slovenia Finland v Russia USA v Czech Canada v Latvia Bolded my winners. As enjoyable as I've found watching Slovenia consistently beat the odds, I can't see them getting the better of the Swedes today. Finland will take Russia to OT, but an Ovechkin OT winner will end their Olympics. The Czechs will keep it close against the US, but inevitably, the US will find a way to score (Kessel no doubt), and Canada will find a way to beat Latvia in the most unconvincing way possible.
  19. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Anyone that says this movie isn't awesome is either stupid, or lying. It's hilarious from start to finish. And to top it all off, the end makes my eyes get a little...watery.
  20. 12 Years A Slave T'was a bit good wasn't it?
  21. Some really nice weapon designs though. I just wish the dialogue wasn't so unforgivably clunky.
  22. Quick question, has anyone actually made any paper craft models yet? I'd love to give it a go in the future.
  23. TRANCE I think it was good..? I'll probably go back and re-watch it at some point in order to make sense of the plot (also, Rosario Dawson in the nuddy). In all honesty though, the film felt like it was trying to keep the truth from me for as long as possible, and whilst that's okay in some films, it didn't work here as I found the big reveal to be a little tame. Rosario though. Daaang girl!
