The Grand Tour - Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon Prime Show
Agent Gibbs replied to Julius's topic in General Chit Chat
Season 2 has been so far a lot better, they dropped the American which is a god send replaced brain crash with an actual feature and generally improved the show! even if they really need to stop going on every episode about Hammond Crashing all the time -
I had it for Xbox 360, but I got the RROD, briefly replaced my Xbox but then decided to jump ship to Playstation with everyone else and never got Dark Souls again to complete it (heard the PC port was dog shit too), so for me this is brilliant
-
Overall I'm happy with this! I didn't buy into the hype, and the only rumour I saw that peaked my interest was the Rumour of Dark Souls, Red Dead Redemption and GTAV coming to Switch, which 1 out of those three ain't bad (and theres potential for a full direct in 20 or so days to reveal more info and those) I'll get Dark Souls as it broke my Xbox and I never replaced it/completed it and sold all my games I never got Tropical Freeze so I might just buy that too I never played the World ends with you so i'll have that Hyrule Warriors means I can sell another Wiiu game And I might get Ys, but I've already listed a lot I could buy so that might end up waiting
-
I never got the 3DS version so I missed out on all that content, so I might just double dip on this! AND I can now sell the WiiU version along with Bayo 1&2! Ninty can keep these re releases coming for me so I can get rid of my WiiU

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (December 2017)
Agent Gibbs replied to Dog-amoto's topic in General Chit Chat
I agree with all of that really, a lot of set up plot lines we really wasted and supremely underwhelming I liked a lot of the film but felt underwhelmed overall A lot of the humour was out of place, like after deaths or powerful moments, star wars has humour but it felt too much, forced and like padding I need a second viewing, it's a good film with some serious flaws and certainly not the modern empire far too many paid off critics claim -
Well I'm happy it's being remade, I would prefer it on switch also,but I'll take what I can get! Back to weird sheep people it is
-
Done! i'd post a screen shot but i've no idea how to upload now and photobucket is now shit
-
Amazon shipped this last night.....via Royal Fail, who lost Breath of the wild, the last game I ordered from them, I really hope this doesn't happen again!

I've never bothered with Discord and now feel very out of the loop. Gaf is on fire right now, people are openly being offensive and threads discussing anything are quickly locked with people showing displeasure at the situation being banned. I'm not one to shitpost for a permaban on Gaf so I might just stop posting and let my account die. Still it was nice to have a PM from Excelsiorlef after saying I'd miss them and others. I'll be patiently awaiting a way into ResetEra, might even not use Agent Gibbs and go with my preferred user name of ChrisP8Three

Lego dimensions was just too expensive for what you got, from a lego collector stand point the packs were light on items, from a digital content point of view a lot were light on content and the game practically forced you to buy figures by locking their abilities. It really should have had a cheaper option, a dlc only or just mini figure only packs and disks for vehicles (some were silly like a camera for the Gremlins?) all packs should really have been 1/3 cheaper to be viable, still kudos for going as long as it is

Wait some peoples are getting dispatched? man Amazon are never so cool

Milo? nope it was some older bloke if I'm remembering right....I'll see if I can find the article since off topic is gone as a source Can't find a source but remember it was some older professor, seem to think he got mobbed outside after being prevented from speaking but he stayed and debated with the protestors outside despite some just shouting abuse. Whilst I didn't necessarily agree with what he said, he made very clear concise polite arguments and discussions with the protestors and came across very well, on the flip side the protestors seemed completely childish, unreasonable and unwilling to listen to anything outside of their world view. That said even a 'Nazi'* should be allowed to speak, but that freedom of speech works two ways and does not exclude them from criticism or legitimise their view, the crowd/attendees have a right to debate and prove them wrong, catch them in their misconceptions and potentially change views - completely excluding people like that and making a massive deal about them serves to empower and embolden their followers who see it as justification for their actions and vindication that everyone who disagrees cannot argue against them so resort to censorship, more than anyone else I feel they need to be challenged in public forum and allowed to tie themselves up in their idiocy and not give them the pleasure of the vindication - Donald Trump capitalised on this and shows the danger of just vilifying a person/viewpoint . That or treat them like some amazing protestors do with the Westboro Baptist Church, make a peaceful sarcastic counter protest showing them up for the bigots they are. *There are no true Nazi's these days only ridiculous wannabe's who are White Supremacists but pretend they are SS, hitlers gonna have a second coming etc

If was up to provide specific examples i would, i've been dogpiled on there for offering a view that didn't meet the hive mind. The best example i can think of was a thread about a speaker being effectively prevented from speaking at a US university because of protests over prior comments, and people quite reasonably argued that it is censorship and that freedom of speech allows them the right to speak, they should be allowed to speak and the correct way to protest them is to challenge and debate their views to prove them wrong, that suppressing a view point pushes it underground and allows resentment to foster. That asn't a popular view by the vocal members who argued allowing them to speak perpetuates their views and its a waste of time discussing anything with them they are not worth the air or the time, basically viewing them as nothing, they didn't see how that in itself is a dangerous view point to take, to censor those who don't conform. The Gamegate things on gaf were a shit show on both sides, i stuck well out of that. The problem was there was a core of vocal members who were either mods or friends with mods who shielded themselves from things and as you say random in their enforcement of rules. The MeToo movement is a bloody amazing thing.

Wow I'm busy renovating my house and not on the internet for two days and Gaf dies? I'm not sure how to feel about that! On the one hand Gaf is great for news and expose's, I loved people's deep dives into game history, development and secrets (Mama Robotnik's Legacy of Kain stuff was amazing) and some of Off Topic's discussion was amazing but on the other hand over the past two to three years I feel the moderation and forum has become increasingly intolerant of opposing views and I don't mean accepting right wing views I mean accepting any view that even slightly leans away from the hive mind neo left view that sections take. GamerGate was the catalyst for this in my mind, I saw people make quite reasonable neutral views or even be willing to discuss the opposing views and make concessions that there are issues and they'd get dog piled or banned, likewise with social issues if people didn't take the typical view then they were dog piled of banned and all tared with the same brush of condoning violence and abuse against women. I remember getting banned when Clarkson hit the top gear staff member, for criticising the choice of wording in some articles, I drew issue with violent and sustained attack over a 30 second period which implied a constant barrage of fists, when other articles said it was a few blows over said period. I said we should wait for the full facts to come out before jumping up and down and revelling in how he was exposed as some sort of brute, however the hive mind at the time was how he was akin to some violent sociopath who had been exposed as beating a man to within an inch of his life - I was banned by Modbot along with anyone who defended or took a neutral stance, with the explanation of "encouraging violence". People even said they couldn't believe I was banned in said thread, people who towed the 'party' line. but that's my example, I've seen other discussions occur and beyond page 2 reasonable discussion doesn't occur its usually back patting and dog piling beyond that point. I think it got addressed at one point and moderation on that stance drew back, but equally for fear of banning and dog piling a lot of people didn't post comments or opinions and you'd get threads pop up where discussion could occur but it would be an echo chamber of people agreeing, and sometimes hilariously because nobody was there to dogpile people would then pick apart posts and argue amongst themselves over semantics and implied this and that. All of which is hilarious as I'd heard about Evillores questionable history in the past and other mods who had hilarious double standards. I hope someone takes over Gaf and it survives but with some changes, otherwise on a purely selfish basis I say we start a membership drive on Gaf and try and poach the user base

I still put money on the reason we never know about that ship in previous incarnations is because its not star fleet its section 31 (discovery NCC1031.....) I loved that episode very good, still feels very Stargate Universe (again still a great thing) but I was not overly happy the character I loved was killed off (but I read above she's listed in later episodes hmm)
-
Episode three felt very Stargate Universe, now don't me wrong i love Stargate Universe, but it didn't feel like Trek.
-
That's kind of how I felt about it, it was good enough but no better than any other trek pilot. It felt rather confused for its setting which detracted me from the actual episode; Its meant to be in the Prime universe (not the Kelvin movie one) In the Prime universe they did not have holographic commination's anything like that until some late DS9 and Voyager , so for them to be using it pre-TOS was really odd and stood out as odd But that is nothing compared to the Klingons which seemed to be very much like if not exactly like how they were in the Kelvin universe, I was hoping this was just one Klingon house, but they showed people from all 24 houses and they all looked like that, the sort of Reman/Klingon hybrid that is now the klingons Their technology is some sort of Egyptian/Gothic mix and their culture has shifted away from Honour towards religion If this is meant to be in the prime universe where they are a militaristic race with an honour based culture then it does not fit unless by the end they all suddenly completely change appearance (ad they reference the augment virus) and move away from religion. Interviews with the show runners though mention they changed the Klingons to bring them up to date, aka just because they could! they could have updated them without making them so radically different from the universe/timeline setting they are apparently going for. Now if they just said this is in the Kelvin universe then it would be fine and we can take this as an introduction to Klingons in that universe, but aside from that the show was pretty much spot on and I'm looking forward to more, I just feel some things have been changed for changes sake which detracts from it now.

Third party AAA games on Switch - A lost cause?
Agent Gibbs replied to Hogge's topic in Nintendo Gaming
I'd love to know wheni crossed the void into this reality where Bethesda are supporting the latest (and sellin well) Nintendo console, the best out of all third parties! -
45min? damn that is a long direct! lease be an OS update including that rumoured achievement system! and netflix and Virtual Console
-
I had it on Pc (Steam sale it was less than £10) and played up to the first interrogation, messed it up and switched it off - then something big came out called Destiny and I never went back, but I'm tempted by this a lot
-
People in Leeds are arseholes then and automatically set it to private then it seems! the best place for on going raids in the City are in the shopping centres, where its not easy to see who is raiding
-
I'm not overly keen on how Raids work so far, i thought if a raid was on going you'd be easily able to join, but it seems you need to physically find where the people raiding are to get the code or guess it, i'd assumed it was a public event and it would join players up to the cap and then start a new lobby.
-
Its not coming out this year is it though? we've just not seen enough of it for it to come out anywhere before march
-
The stuff on product placement was eye opening, and Feig filmed scenes for hours letting the cast ad-lib them? then juct cut it to what he liked? no wonder the film was all over the place! sounds like the script was one page with scene out,lines and a note to ad-lib them all
