Ah fuck.

RIP Space Bruce Willis.

My favourite character and villain from the extended universe is now canon... My inner Star Wars child is shitting himself with glee. I want to see him in the new films now - I've not even watched Rebels yet.

UPDATED!

I continue to play so many great and wonderful games it's a struggle to remember them all, but please find a few more added to the top 10(+) for your delectation.

Anyone here backed Scythe?

I didn't, but I played the collector's edition yesterday:

1. It's fucking gorgeous if slightly busy looking on the cards

2. It's fucking brilliant.

3. I fucking won the 5 player game.

Just came back from a long weekend at a board gaming event in Leicester. Look what I got to play the prototype of:

Manchester?  You know it has shifted to the Saturday only, don't you?

Eh?

I was thinking Liverpool.

Oh noes! That's a shame. I can see why it might be a bit too much for some. 

 

@Benny @davidcotton Anyone of you interested? 

I've not bought it yet I'm afraid. Tuesdays are increasingly becoming the only evenings I'm indoors at my PC. I'm not around Friday either, sorry. (If I did have it.)

Y'know, I genuinely don't think the collective you can take it.

 

The forum has demonstrated time and time again that honestly relaying a view that goes against majority opinion is bad move that doesn't warrant the effort involved. 

 

I've learned my lesson: conform. 

 

It's not like any of this matters anyway.

This pleases The Cobynites. We are your family now. Bow down to your new grey bearded god.

Hey, I miss Poise too. It was my favourite stat.

I've never really been one to go to live music much, but I want to make up for it now. Going to see John Carpenter in October for a start.

Rllmuk is wrong, not for the first time.

Are you questioning the hive mind?

I love a bit of nostalgia me, it's a shame it's not ever likely to come out on PC, but it's Rllmuk's 31st best game of all time, fact fans!

Stay Puft

That's enough of your slogans for the neo cryptogay agenda.

I always dress Geralt smartly for special occasions, with trendy glasses. I think more games should encourage the whole Fashion Souls thing like From did with DS3 by basically breaking the Poise stat so any armour configuration will do.

And did you see the screenshot of the new grenade launcher Benny is working on? 

 

 

Wow, I've been productive lately!

Joking aside, I might have to buy this - I used to play loads of Q3 Arena and Unreal Tournament 2003/2004 (instagib is best!) back in the day and there hasn't been any game since that captures the same magic.

I regularly forget, remember, and vow to re-watch ExistenZ.  I vaguely remember it being a pretty great science fiction story about simulated reality and guns which fire teeth, but I'm worried it hasn't aged well so haven't watched it for about ten years.

I remember watching that once on a portable TV in an abandoned car park (don't ask). It properly fucked me up good.

Just did that Roach quest in B&W. Can't believe I missed it as it was brilliant. When you have tiny little side quests hidden away on a world map that are more emotionally affecting than the whole story of most other games it's really embarrassing for them.

You know how I said I was glad to be living in a parallel universe because that's the only plausible explanation for why this is being made? Well certain other recent events have put that into perspective and I'm not so sure anymore and I was wondering if it might be best to switch universes again.

Although, I mean if that meant losing Shenmue 3 then, well, on balance...

Excellent, time to find this missed quest!

Where would I find this quest? Still available if I've completed the game?

That single quest line has probably a higher standard of writing, acting and overall handling of the material in question than most games could only dream of, and that's with multiple outcomes. Also, it makes a lot of the sort of stuff that happens in Game of Thrones seem poorly written, crass and exploitative.
