Happenstance

I’m thinking about getting it at some point myself, apart from the Giant Bomb quick look (which was poorly done) I’ve heard nothing but good things.

The TGS demonstration from Kojima showed quite a bit of gameplay. I just don't think any of it looked fun.

The PS2 was a mixture of great games and probably just as importantly, a cheap DVD player right when that was taking off. Very similar with the PS3 and Blu rays.

My problem is that I won't vote Conservative, I'd usually vote for Labour but I don't like or trust Corbyn at all and it feels like a vote for the Lib Dems will be a wasted one.

Oh god I know that all too well. So many of these gaming books I never actually got around to reading and they were just taking up space so they’re now in a box at the back of my wardrobe.

That’s awesome @nightwolf, hope it goes well for you. Sounds very similar to mine. We’ve just hit half term and gone past yet another promised meeting to sort out jobs. You really start to realise when bosses just don’t give a shit. My boss at this job before the current one I asked about getting more hours and she just flat out told me there wasn’t enough money. A shame of course but at least she was straight with me. Being strung along by this one for a year and a half with false promises of discussion is just shitty. My current plan is looking for work from home stuff so I can get a chance to relocate to a better area. Problem is of course finding that kind of stuff, especially when you are looking for actual work from home jobs and not just self employed/work for commission stuff. Ah the fun of job searching 😝

Did any of you guys back the Dreamcast book on Kickstarter a few years ago? Every time I get a status email it’s a surprise as they’re so far between and I keep forgetting all about it. This damn book had better be good!

Well I can do a pretty good Tommy Cooper but i don't think it works well when you type it out... Give it a try anyway

I think we absolutely need people calling this stuff out. I think the thing here is that if you don’t want to watch it for whatever reason (negativity/annoying twat) then you do t have to. I think the benefit of having it put out there though is still important.

I hope they send 2 letters. First one accepting the extension request, the second directly to Boris Johnson saying they are doing this just to spite him.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more to do with the Modern Warfare reboot rather than a single player campaign.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with his message etc and I think he does care about the industry. I just don’t like his schtick or personality when being himself to the point where I don’t want to watch any of his stuff.

Don’t know if it helps or not but before he had his own Youtube channel and at Destructoid he was still an annoying arse.

So what did you guys do for the first big choice with Edgewater?

Starting to think I should have put more points into lock picking. There’s no mini game this time, you just use up lock pick parts and the more points you have the less you have to use. I’m always around 0 parts left. Might have to start putting more in. I tend to put the majority of mine into speech in these games.

I don’t care about Rugby so would like this thread locked please. Thankyou for your time.

Looks like it’s available on the Epic Games Store now as well so must be a timed deal.

Just started playing this as it’s on Game Pass. Seems really good so far. Not surprisingly it’s got a very Fallout feel to it but it’s nice to go back to that style and enjoy it after the disappointment of 4. I’m playing the PC version and it looks really nice, very colourful. I’d definitely recommend people give it a try if they get a chance. It’s been getting good reviews as well.

Meh 😝

The Epic Store stuff caused it and while I’m no longer seething about that, it just seemed to do enough to sour it all for me. I’m just very “meh” about it now.

Still no enthusiasm from me whatsoever. I expect it'll just sit on a shelf while I play something else at this point.

I'm still debating if I want to get this at launch or not. I enjoyed the first game but wasn't a big fan of the second. I think I'll probably enjoy this one given what I've seen, it's just do I want to spend that money on it now or wait until I can maybe get a discount and get something else now.

I see ScummVM has finally finished their work getting the Blade Runner PC game playable again on modern systems. I always wanted to play the game so I might have to try and track down a copy.

NES Mega Drive We went from NES to Mega Drive in our house and despite being interested enough to buy gaming magazines etc, I don't really ever remember having a sense of the competition for either until years later. I had a NES like my friends and I had a Mega Drive like my friends. All of them somehow After those two generations I just seemed to drift from console to console. There were a few like the Saturn that I didn't own until later but for the most part I had all the consoles. Never at the same time though until I could afford to buy my own. I think it was just a lot of swapping consoles when I and other friends got bored of them as I know my parents never bought me more than one console per gen. It was also the time that I got into PC gaming a lot more after the Mega Drive.
