    Everquest - Live Servers

    That's pretty cheap as hobbies go. Also cheap compared to alcohol, coke, women ... :D

    The Netflix Thread

    The Rescue - Docufilm about the Tham Luang cave incident in 2018. Very well made with a rescue straight out of a Hollywood script!

    Rebel Moon (2023)

    This was bad, like really bad. I'm not really sure what Snyder was trying to achieve with this at all. The slo-mo was just ...awful as were the action sequences. The steampunk vibe from the spaceships is about the only good thing I can say.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    I can probably do about 75% of my job from home. There has been a massive shift towards WFH in all the departments where I work (NHS hospital), but obviously there are also an awful lot of staff whose jobs are hands on.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    I can’t say. I guess so if nobody else has posted otherwise? I wasn’t hospitalised and self medicated with paracetamol to keep my temperature in check. I got pretty rough in the second week and called 111. After a consultation they sent an ambulance out to check me over. They decided not to...

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    Thanks. Never lost my sense of taste. My friend from work who also went down with it did however and whilst he is now considered recovered, his sense of taste is a little shot - for instance he loves fresh OJ, but now it just tastes like shit to him. Couple of other foods as well, but not...

    I have no fucking clue why people went crazy for toilet paper, I really don't. I lost over a stone in weight as I was barely eating - toilet paper was the least of my worries.

    Today was my first day back in work after almost 3 weeks off due to testing positive for COVID-19 after showing symptoms. Nasty shit, certainly hope I don't catch it again!!

    Fractured - The Dynamic MMO

    Didn't Istaria have something like this? I can't remember it's been so long. I'm pretty sure they had unreachable areas at the start where players had to craft or do something as a team to get to them - maybe build bridges or something? It didn't stop the game being shit but it is still going...

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    Well, the top 2 floors of our hospital have just been converted to take Covid-19 patients, releasing up to 200 beds - problem is those beds are now no longer available for patients with other illnesses. This is the situation we find ourselves in and the worry is that whilst everyone focuses on...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    HDR on the PC is a mess compared to PS4 Pro.

    His Dark Materials

    Loving how they've imagined the witches so far. The way Serafina swooped down and took out the entire courtyard was pretty badass.

    Pale Rider - 7.5/10 Never seen this before! Solid Eastwood western for sure, although not a patch on the Sergio Leone stuff.

    Rambo V

    Watched this today. Enjoyed it for what it was. Everything was going along quite pedestrian until he gets that guy in his truck and totally loses his shit lol. I've never seen anyone get "stabbed" with the wrong end of a knife before!

    His Dark Materials

    The last episode was definitely the best one so far. I still have the feeling that if you haven't read the books, you are going to be a little confused as to what exactly is going on. I'm also skeptical about how the BBC will make books 2 & 3. From what I can remember, they are going to...

    You have Toby Ragaini, lead designer of Asheron's Call & Matrix Online. He works for Zynga now.

    I've not read much about the show - is it based more around the video game or the books?

    Ready Player One (2018)

    I really enjoyed this film. Haven't read the book so I can't comment on that. I'd give it a solid 8/10. Weirdest reference had to be the charm of making from Excalibur being used to activate/deactivate the orb.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    The danger. Possibly the worst zone for a sense of impending doom was MM Castle. If you were unlucky enough to be caught running for the zone out by a high level castle train, as a lowbie you often got charmed. You'd then spend the next what felt like eternity randomly smacking other players...

    EQ Never

    I don't buy that when users are already accepting games that drop to sub 20 frames per second - it's already shit and this is before the ps4.5 has even launched. Why would things improve for the base ps4 when the faster version arrives? It'll either stay the same or get worse and by worse, I...

    EQ Never

    The PS4.5 was always only going to be about faster frame rates and/or higher resolutions. The danger comes from lazy developers who will target the PS4.5 as their base unit for acceptable frame rates, making their games a laggy, stuttering mess on the PS4. If you want to glimpse the future...

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    You could raise Trakanon faction by killing I think perhaps 1 or 2 mobs in the entire game. I vaguely remember reading something about someone trying to do this. I'm guessing like a lot of stuff in EQ you would have arrived at a dead end. Still, would have been interesting to see if Trak had...

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    I think I still have mine. There used to be a bug with them - if you faced a wall and cast the eye, it would randomly pop anywhere in the zone. Used to be very handy in places like NToV if you wanted to see what was up.

    I remember being on dial up back in the day and that fucking bug at the Qeynos hills/Karana zone line where if someone had zoned into Karana and not bothered moving, you would zone then get bumped back into Qeynos hills. Used to take a minute or 2 to zone, then get bumped then another minute or...

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    Ha, my exact memory too. My wife and I were basically following the path and out of the mist loomed this huge, fucking wooden bridge. We were both in awe. For some reason that has always stuck in my head. Oh along with my first encounter with a hill giant

    True this. I have a friend of a friend who has created some pretty big mods for Skyrim. The guy just locks himself away doing this. I couldn't even tell you if he actually plays Skyrim that much, just loves to mod it.

    Yeah, I have to agree. I dread to think what some of the geeks/programmers look like that churn out some of our favourite titles. Needless to say, they probably make these guys look even more normal.
