Add me and we can sail about together if you're up for it
Sounds like a plan!

I'll start the download right away.

Re: Comic Book Chatter

That was Birthright, one of the many retellings of his origin and was pretty decent.

The comic I always recommend to people who don't get Superman is Action Comics #775. It's a one and done story that shows why Supes still means something in this day and age. Well worth a read.

Re: Sea of Thieves - Sing a shanty with the CaR crew

I'm tempted to give this a go, and as it's on Game Pass it won't cost me anything.

Is it accessible for a new player, or do I need to have played it since launch to be able to party up with people, etc?

Re: Comic Book Chatter

The trouble is the format of superhero comics means you can't just follow one series, you have to pick up issues from all different series here and there to follow one storyline. It's always irritated me, and the main reason I always just pick up the trades. That's not really the case these days. A...

Re: Avengers: Endgame (Spoiler Thread)

I liked Endgame, but didn't love it. The first couple of hours was slow, and I felt there were no stakes at all for a large part: - Scott accidently gets out of the quantum realm due to a rat walking on a button. - Decides time travel is the way to go, Tony doesn't want to be involved but then seemi...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I've played a few hours of Days Gone over the weekend, and I'm really digging it. A lot of the reviews I read prior to buying the game stated that it offers nothing new, and that's where the game was marked down by many. While that's true, I don't really see it as a bad thing if the game is good, wh...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

After 3 weeks of not playing any video games due to Sekiro killing my enjoyment, I finally picked up a pad again last night. I decided to give Dangerous Driving a bash as I loved the early Burnout games, and it's certainly more of those. It's very odd not having any music while you race, but it make...

Re: Shameless Self Promotion

I've given up my radio show in order to spend more time creating content for YouTube. So far my videos have been based around comics, but I intend to be creating content about many different parts of pop culture going forward. Please feel free to give my channel a look, and if you like what you see ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I think my last bash at Sekiro last Friday night has killed my love of gaming. Since that night I've not had the inclination to play anything, and can't think of one game on the horizon that I'm looking forward to. Sekiro is just too much for me, it's too stressful and not an enjoyable experience, a...

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Thanks for the tips.

I've watched plenty of video tutorials for the boss, and can see how they did it, but for some reason I just can't put the techniques into practice.

Maybe I'll come back to it down the line, but I can't bare the sight of that bull anymore :D

Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Sekiro is brilliant, it's clear to see, but I'm throwing in the towel. I've been stuck on the Flaming Bull for a whole week now. This is still very early into the game, and if I'm having this much trouble so early on then I've not much hope for the rest of the game. I'm not enjoying constantly getti...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Devil May Cry 5 I've got a little further into this, and I still don't like it. It's odd because for the most part I've enjoyed the franchise, but this just isn't grabbing me. I think part of it is I just don't enjoy the characters like I used to, and I'm getting nothing from the gameplay. I can't ...

While I've not put a great amount of time into Rising, I've really enjoyed what I've played so far and really want to put some time into it to get really good. Watch th...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I picked up The Division 2 over the weekend, and started it yesterday. I put 107 hours into the first game, so needless to say I was dead keen to play the sequel. I'm not massively far in but so far it's not disappointed. If you weren't keen on the first game you likely won't enjoy this, but for fan...

27th Jan - Captain Toad Treasure Tracker (Switch) I started playing this when it came out on the Switch, but it got put on the back burner due to a million other games coming out. But over the past week I went back to it and polished it off, and I'm so pleased I did. Towards the end of the game my ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I was very excited to discover, last night, that the standard PS4 supports HDR, I thought it was just the pro! We got a new TV yesterday and I tried it out on RDR 2 but I think the game looks worse! More blurry and lower contrast. I'm not sure if it's meant to be like that or I just don't get it! I...
