    The Last of Us

    Well it was one of the best selling games of the year.... just saying. Personally I have not played either TLOU games.

    The Mandalorian

    They're making a new Willow series? Color me interested... pity Val Kilmer is too old and fat to reprise his role.

    The Game Awards 2020

    Cyberpunk 2077 should have got game of the year. They had like 24 hours to play it before the awards, that's enough right???

    The Game Awards 2020

    Agreed, the combat in BDO is already more complex and involved than almost any SP game.. I have high hopes for what they will do here.

    Raised by Wolves

    Binged this over the last 2 days. Great world building, total clusterfuck of storylines towards the end of the season. Still, I love sci-fi and will watch season 2 if it eventuates. They are going to have a hell of a time getting to the equator as planned without the shuttle. Walking across a...

    Oxygen Not Included

    It's really early access thought and obviously incomplete. The whole radiation system is still missing. Elements are there on the new map, but you can't do anything with them yet. I feel like there should be more maps too but there's still only the one - swamp biome starting location. ONI is...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    It's hard to say for sure but it reads like resignations. Would not surprise me if they both go off and join/found a studio together. Blog entries, both leaving at the same time and mentioning each-other, and the fact EA don't have a replacement for 1 of the roles ready are all clues.

    Oxygen Not Included

    Once you get the mechanics sorted out it becomes pretty simple since there's very little randomness in the game.

    Oxygen Not Included

    It's most often compared with rimworld (which I've never played) It has gameplay elements in common with factory building games like factorio or satisfactory, and survival games like frostpunk, don't starve, etc.

    Playstation 5

    I haven't been following this thread but it looks like the most major software bug I was experiencing with the PS5 was fixed. For the first 5 days or so after launch, my PS5 frequently needed to be rebooted if you wanted to change apps. Close netflix, open fortnite, it would display an error...

    Oxygen Not Included

    I played the Spaced Out Alpha a little. The starting biome is a completely new one with all different critters/plants and a lot of new materials. Some new critter mechanics are pretty interesting. I'm curious if there will be other maps for the DLC or just the one.. Maybe they will patch more in...

    The Mandalorian

    As mentioned a bunch of times, mando/favreau+filoni carrying the whole franchise at this point. On clone wars, I think the whole series is worth watching. Some (many?) episodes are definitely skippable (such as most of the droid focussed ones (like Secret Weapons, ugh), but a huge portion of...

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    My 7 year old is obsessed with this. Seems like he's pretty good at it too, wins quite often. One thing I've noticed is most of the people he's playing against (on console) can't aim. Son wins fights 1v3 1v4 pretty often just by constantly moving/jumping so they can't hit him and taking them out...

    No Man's Sky

    Yes there were 4 options: adventure mode, permadeath mode, 'easier' mode, and normal which is the default/one I selected.

    No Man's Sky

    So I picked this game up for the PS5, knowing very little about it. Started it up, default difficulty, arrived on a planet and am immediately freezing to death. It's telling me I need to repair my scanner using ferrite, I look around for ferrite, still freezing.. play with the controls, figure...

    Best Metallica Songs

    I've still got an original 1987 copy of Garage Days.. It used to be worth a lot as it was a rare collectors item but since it's been re-released a bunch of times it's probably worthless now.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I've been playing this multiplayer, using a ranger, my friend playing a cleric, and astarion+lae'zel. Astarion's ability at level 1 to so easily backstab, and then use two offhand attacks in the same round makes him so strong to begin with. Lae'zel after levelling into a battlemaster is also...

    Best Metallica Songs

    I agree with this And this But Puppets is the best album. I spent maybe 4-5 years from about 90 - 94 or so listening to nothing but Metallica. Rotating all 5 of their first albums.. Puppets and Justice got the most airtime.

    The Queen's Gambit

    Absolutely, that one kicked me right in the guts.

    The Queen's Gambit

    Anya Taylor-Joy is amazing in this. Really strong effort from her in a wonderful show. This is one of those shows that I hadn't heard of when I started watching it.. Just saw it on the front page of netflix, looked interesting, started watching, then finished the whole show in 2 days. Great stuff.

    Very satisfying start to season 2.. Looking forward to the next one!

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    They did add some content. They had events that added new areas, bosses etc. Not much though. The core combat was fun, if they can add more depth and replayability to the game to draw more players in then maybe they will be able to add content down the track.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Definitely looks like an improvement. If only they'd spent time completing it in the first place before serving it only 1/4 cooked. I own anthem on two platforms so assuming I get the update for free I'll try it out. Guess it won't come out until 2022 at the earliest though since they probably...

    Frostpunk

    Well it may not have looked too crash hot on day 8, but I finished the scenario on this save. People aren't kidding when they say the first few days are the hardest. Game got drastically easier once you get over the early game hump. What you do in the first few days sets you up for success or...

    Pocket dial :/ There was an even longer gibberish reply saved as a draft. I guess I pocketed my phone with this thread as the last thing I'd opened. I have been watching Dark Matter lately!

    Frostpunk

    Just picked this up on sale. It's a hard game. So many ways to lose in the first week. I'm up to day 8 on my current attempt, and it's not looking too crash hot. This is way harder than most games of this type where you really have to fuck up to fail. Usually problems are easily solvable. Run...

    The Haunting of Bly Manor

    Was a good show, pretty tense most of the way throughout without really having jump scares. It was well written and mostly well acted. The au pair was a bit off somehow but the rest were strong. I haven't seen haunting of hill house so I guess I'll go back and watch that one now.

    The Boys

    Girls obviously don't get it done, even when there's 3 girl supes - it takes a 10 year old boy to get the job done.

    Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

    This arrived on netflix so I watched it. It was a pretty tough slog.. movie is quite boring.

    It's under my desk so I can only see it when I'm entering the room. My labrador who snoozes at/on my feet can see it though!

    Desktop Computers

    My new 3700X system arrived. Runs nice and quiet. One thing I didn't realise about current gen PCs is how many coloured lights they have inside. CPU fan, ram, fix card all cycling coloured light patterns. Something for my dog to enjoy when he's keeping me company while I work.

    Woke TV goes to 11 - new diversity standards

    Did they define what an 'underrepresented group' is? If not then it's probably pretty easy to make the case that every TV show meets those standards. Oh that cast of 100% white males? One of them is gay. One of them is atheist. One of them is bulgarian. One of them knows how to play the ukulele...

    The Boys

    Enjoyable especially the end. Church of the Collective storyline still disconnected but I guess it has to make sense soon since we're nearing the end of the season.

    When someone's most major complaint is the art that was used to display the skill tree you know they are going to complain about everything and can safely disregard their opinion.

    How to handle a bad VP

    I'm frequently put in similar situations where I have to explain why things things that wen't wrong happened. I almost always avoid naming names. I'll say (as an example) 'the power cable was accidentally pulled out' or 'backup of the data had not been confirmed before running the upgrade'. If...
