    Aion Reawakening

    Aion was great for a while, at launch the small scale PvP was excellent, rifting into levelling areas and causing mayhem with my small group. Much like warhammer online once there were a bulk of players at high levels and most pvp was 30+ vs 30+ it turned to shit.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Just picked this up on PS5 yesterday. Immediately hated the QTE but after 15 minutes or so I trained myself to not even look at the visual for them and just respond to the sound which made them all trivial - so now I love the QTE. After getting by on dodge for a while I decided to just try to...

    Thunderbolts* (2025)

    I fell asleep in the cinema and missed a decent chunk of the middle of this. The kids enjoyed it though and I liked that the finale wasn't two people punching each other and destroying a whole city. The going into your own nightmare part was pretty neat.

    Satisfactory

    1.1 is looking good, I'm waiting for it to go live before I try it though. Issue I've had with Satisfactory since 1.0 is that it makes my PC, in particular the CPU overheat for some reason. No other game does this. Hopefully something has changed in 1.1 to resolve that otherwise I can't play...

    Shōgun

    Really long odds that future seasons are going to be any good. Not only is there no source material, but the two best characters are dead - Asano (death tier list guy) and Mariko who was both hot and also carried large parts of the show on her shoulders.

    Andor

    There's people in this thread who should probably stick to watching Michael Bay movies. Andor is great, A+, bring on the next arc!

    Margin Call (2011)

    I've watched both this and the big short half a dozen times or more, they are both great for different reasons.. covering the same crisis from different angles.

    Andor

    This show continues to be great - thoroughly enjoy shows that move slowly and don't treat their audience like idiots.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    That's weird, I'm getting ~60fps in the open world playing in 4k on my 3070ti/ryzen 3700x. I did install this, not sure if it made a difference or not: Ultimate Engine Tweaks (Anti-Stutters - Lower Latency - No Film Grain - No Chromatic Aberration - Lossless)

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    So is cosmic exploration mainly for levelling doh/dol jobs, and collecting the orchestral/mount etc stuff that comes from the shop and gambling? Not sure if the fully upgraded weapons will ever be worth using especially considering how much grinding will be required to get there.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Todd is just going to keep re-releasing their previous games over and over and never release a new product. And if Starfield is what a new product would look like then am definitely looking forward to Morrowind remastered.

    Black Mirror

    This season was pretty strong imo. Common People is my pick, the dread grew throughout the episode as you quickly realise where it's going. Truly awful. Eulogy was heavy, the end was an absolute kick in the guts. Plaything was pretty light fun. Bete Noir was a great concept, as a viewer you...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    He is really upset that someone said something about his boy Winston that can be interpreted as negative. Guy probably has a Churchill sex doll at home. Every time Dave pins Douglas on his hypocrisy Douglas cries to the teacher (Joe).. pretty sad. I gave up 50 minutes in.. Better things to...

    First ep I got is 'common people' where Netflix and the healthcare system made a nightmare fuel demon baby. Fucking diabolical.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm loving the new dungeons, some of the mechanics are wild. I did Shaaloni last night and ran Vanguard for the first time. On all 3 bosses our healer and monk died before the boss was at 50% so the dancer and I (GNB) carried the team. Luckily none of the bosses in vanguard have many stack...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    The amusing part of it of course is that you tell me not to worry, but it's actually you and your ilk who are obsessed with such inane nonsense. I'm here to play video games (of which HFW is an excellent example) and such trivialities have no bearing on that.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Uhuh, and what is being obsessed with faggotry in media a sad consequence of?

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    HFW is an excellent game, it's a step up from HZD in so many ways - graphics, combat, skills, itemization. Narrative wasn't as good but it was still excellent. Final boss was definitely a downgrade. It was jam packed with same sex couples which is enough to single handedly ruin it for miserable...

    Tobias Fünke is in this season, that can only be a good thing!

    Everquest II

    Crafted items used to sell to vendors for the cost of the fuel to make it, raw mats being worthless. It was still like that at the beginning of origins beta but they increased the price of fuel in an early patch. Now it costs for example ~10s in fuel to make a carbonite armour item or ~20s for...

    Everquest II

    The lack of crafting writs is definitely an annoyance. I'm completely broke from levelling armouring. There's definitely a healthy community though. Multiple wailing caves, stormhold, fallen gate instances running.. I saw 7 WC instances at one point. Finding a group is pretty easy, there are...

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    I've never seen a tap for melted butter at a cinema in Australia. Sounds kind of gross honestly. Popcorn at the cinema here does come with salty butter on it, it's all done in one machine. You can't actually get plain popcorn there. I have a popcorn maker at home which has a cup on top with a...

    Tires

    I watched the first episode, found it terribly boring and not funny. A few days later I decided to give it another chance, watched the second episode and really enjoyed it. Proceeded to watch the whole season. Not sure why the first episode didn't click for me but overall this show is pretty...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    No I don't have the removal code, if such a thing even existed when I registered this token. I'm not even sure why it's an EU account, that must have been the proper region for Australia back when the game launched - maybe still is. edit: I managed to resuscitate the phone that has my SQEX...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Fired up FF XIV to start getting ready for Dawntrail, discover that the phone that my software token is on doesn't work any more. Log a support ticket with SE. Wait a few days with no response, get impatient and call their support # only to be told that my account is an EU account and the NA...

    Everquest II

    It feels like XP is faster than it was back in the early days. Can make a level in 1.5h no trouble in dungeons at the moment. It's been great run spending time clearing out WC, SH and FG again. On live you blow past all of these dungeons in an hour of solo questing.

    Twitch.tv

    I did watch the video and the stuff they got flagged for is bullshit. But go look at their video titles and thumbnails and tell me they're not constantly trying to seem sexual in nature without actually being sexual in nature. I'm familiar with that channel and they're not really content...

    Twitch.tv

    While it is indeed bullshit how youtube handles that stuff, that specific channel is garbage. They post almost nothing but borderline sexual stuff because they know that's what gets the most clicks. Just have a look at their recent video name and thumbnails. That channel may have historically...

    Clarkson's Farm

    Maybe the weakest but definitely not weak. Although they obviously enjoyed the animals in previous seasons that was dialled up to 11 with the pigs in s3. I felt their pain and loss. I liked the little dip into regenerative farming and hope they go more into that in future seasons. I enjoyed...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    FF7 Rebirth is one of the best games they've ever made. I'm pretty astounded that SE managed to produce a game this good after so many years of mediocre stuff.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    When you finish the game you get a popup telling you something to the effect of you needing to pick a chapter to go to and save it to preserve your chapter 13 completion status. If you do that then you can jump around different chapters as much as you like. Losing your hard mode chapter...

    Everquest II

    The beta is currently level locked, level cap is 12 I think and artisan level cap is 9. The full release it looks like is going to be 2006 but without DoF (which was already out in 2006). They actually just patched out the maj'dul carpets which were accidentally still there (but didn't work)...

    Everquest II

    You can skip noob island if you want to. I wouldn't recommend it though especially if you want to do crafting - it's way easier to harvest on the island. Being semi-forced to group is a big change compared to live. On live you can easily follow the trail of solo mobs all the way to level cap...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    That scene would be too conclusive and SE definitely set out to leave things open to player interpretation/speculation. It's still clear what happened of course, but not to cloud and the player is kind of seeing things through his eyes. They'll probably add that scene as a flashback in pt3.

    Everquest II

    It specifically states "Krono will not be able to be consumed, traded, or sold on an Origins server.", so that applies not just to beta.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Finally finished this, what an absolutely awesome game. Yuffie MVP by far, she is so good that any fight in which I couldn't use her actually felt really bad. Case in point was the final boss where I cruised through the first 5 phases easily then I had to replay the last phase ~5 times. I had a...
