  1. I'm going to say Resident Evil 10 then, in anticipation for J7 resurrecting this thread in 5 years and me seeming prophetic as fuck.
  2. Lmao rogerjeff. Pick a name!
  3. 1. Something loops 4. All had airports named after them 6. 9 days 8. No 9. 132
  4. Don't nobody understand the words that are comin' out of your mouth.
  5. Here's one I knocked up earlier:
  6. Why that angle though?
  7. Jah Rune? I'm not really into rap.
  8. Does that mark the end of The Great Samurenaissance Of 2020-2022 then?
  9. Nothing a bit of pressurised water wouldn't fix!

    That makes so much sense...
  11. Continuing to play Assassin's Creed Unity One part of the game I am very much enjoying, that I didn't think I would, is the Nostradamus puzzles. They're kind of like a cryptic treasure hunt, set across the whole of Paris. You find a clue, which describes somewhere else on the map, and then go there to find the next clue etc. Some of the puzzles are quite easy (a nearby statue is described, which is pointing towards a church which holds the next clue), while others you need to look through the Encyclopaedia of places that you've discovered, to find a place that matches the clue. The only issue with this, is that there's no link between the places in the Encyclopaedia and the map, so once you find the place you think might be the answer, you've either got to remember where that place is from when you discovered it, or spend a few minutes scrolling across the map looking at all the place markers until you find it. A bit annoying, but the rest of the puzzling is really good fun. Anyway, i've got the best sword and armour in the game now, so i can wreck most 3-star enemies in one shot now, which is nice.

    Watched the final episode of Kim's Convenience last night. What a bizarre finale. I can only assume they found out at the last second that they weren't getting renewed for another season or something, and so wrote some half-arsed 'endings' to wrap it all up. The endings all came out of nowhere though, especially Jung and Shannon. Weird. Oh well, the rest of the show was pretty good. The first couple of episodes are rough, and we almost gave up watching a few times at the beginning, but the show finds it's footing eventually, and has some really funny moments.
  13. Pfff, not even 720p? The Wii U is a joke.
  14. I'm looking forward to it. I saw the first one three times at the cinema, and I have faith in James Cameron that this one will be a spectacle at least.
  15. I remember really hating Digimon back when I was a child because it seemed like a complete rip-off of Pokémon but done in a totally stupid way. Looking back, I wondered if my love of the Pokémon series clouded my judgement, and that maybe I'd treated Digimon too harshly. Perhaps if you judged it on its own, it wasn't that bad. Then I saw this video posted to Reddit: and I realised that Digimon is actually just stupid. WTF was that theme tune? Why is it stuck in my head?
  16. So I've not managed to play much due to work and being on holiday. But what I did do in Assassin's Creed Unity was to max out the amount of income you get from the Cafe missions until I was getting 10k every 20 minutes. Then, while I was working from home, I put the game on and left it, returning every couple of hours to collect my earnings. Cheating? Perhaps. But my bank account with half a million lire in it don't care. That should be enough to get a few of the legendary items/weapons and enable me to play the rest of the game on easy peasy mode.
  17. Is his wife as excited?
  18. Yeah but that's forming an opinion based on new evidence, rather than boldly stating a fact based on none. I don't know this person's copy is legit or pirated, but I don't have enough information to claim either one is 100% fact.
  19. Between Uncharted games, I thought i'd play a game I got for Christmas - Assassin's Creed Unity I've had my eye on this one for while now, as the setting seemed perfect for a AC game; running around revolution era Paris? Amazing. However, at the time, it was getting terrible reviews, and I was a bit fatigued with AC games after playing Black Flag and Syndicate very close together. I'd heard that they'd managed to fix most of the bugs in this, and seeing as it was very cheap now, I thought i'd go for it, as I'd had a hankering to play another AC game, and the more modern ones don't interest me. First impressions aren't great, it has to be said. There are still a lot of glitches and bugs in it. Nothing game breaking so far, but i don't think i've played a mission yet where something wasn't where it was supposed to be, or a button didn't register when it was suppose to. You can tell they cut a lot of corners on the side quests as well. There aren't any cut scenes when meeting with Madame Tussaude or Vidocq, and sometimes their mouths don't even move when speaking, which is a bit disappointing. The other downside to this game (which possible is the root cause of the rest of the game being a bit unfinished) is the sheer volume of extraneous shit they've put in it. Main missions, side missions, coop missions, heist missions, collectables (many different ones), chests (four different types), skill points, assassin points, money, helix points(?), multiple different weapon types, to name a few. There's just so much clutter, and it's all so confusing trying to remember how to access all the different menus, and where to go. It doesn't help that a lot of the stuff refers to features that aren't available any more, like all the online stuff. HOWEVER, once you open up the main city of Paris, and start exploring, i was reminded about why I love these games. Just running around real-life historical places, and seeing famous landmarks, and occasionally killing people. It's fantastic. And clutter aside, there are some seriously impressive elements to this game, like the crowd scenes, which are way better that the previous ones. The first time I stumbled into one of the packed squares, and there are hundreds, if not thousands of people there, all jostling and shouting, it really adds to the feeling of a revolution. Sure, some of them spazz out if you watch them for too long, and the textures sometimes take a while to load in on a few of the people, but having that many people on screen at once, all doing their own thing, is incredibly impressive, and I don't think i've seen anything in any game since. I'm only a few hours into the game, so i've only just gotten my Assassin status and had a bit of a roam around, but i've discovered they have a 'property management' mini-game of sorts, where you can find and buy 'Cafe's' which give you an income. Also, all the weapon and armour upgrades are purchasable with money alone...I think you can see where this is going. I've found and bought 6 of the 7 cafe's, and upgraded the Cafe storyline a fair amount to the point where i'm getting 5000 lires every 20 minutes or so. Soon I will have amassed enough money to buy the best kit in the game, which should help cheese the rest of the game. Love it.
  20. Been listening to this song on repeat these last couple of days The opening is such a head-bopper.
  21. I've been ploughing through Uncharted 2: Amongus Among Thieves and finally reached the end yesterday. The game just keeps getting better and better as it goes on, with bigger and more elaborate set pieces, and more stunning levels and scenery. It's amazing to think it was released two generations ago. Anyway, everything about the game is an improvement on the first. The graphics, the music, the characters, the plot; if the first game is a 7/10, the second one is ten times better. I'm not sure if i'll continue on with the third game straight away. I might have a break and play something else in the middle, because I'm a bit Uncharted out. I'll give Uncharted 2 a score of 7
