Re: Whatcha Been Watching?

We watched the first episode of The Gentlemen on Netflix last night, which is a series seemingly based on a Guy Ritchie film that I've not seen. It seems to be almost a UK equivalent of Breaking Bad or Ozark, and it was enjoyable. We'll definitely be watching the rest of the series. It also guest st...

Re: Mental Health

I'm all over the fucking place at the moment. I don't know why so I don't know how to stop it. It's not even one day to the next, it can change in the hour. One minute feel like everything is brilliant and the next like my world is crashing down and genuinely can't think of any reason to carry on wi...

Re: Really great 'retro' collections

Ah interesting, never knew it was a TV show. Always thought it was a weird concept for a game, still a weird concept for a cartoon I suppose! Perhaps no more weird than any other 80s and 90s animated series.

Re: Videogame News

With the Wii-U servers being turned off, players have been trying to clear every single user created Super Mario Maker level. It's been interesting to watch the progress and there are now only five levels still remaining. As you can imagine, they are almost impossible. Story: https://www.gamesradar....

Worked from home today so I could, erm, check if this worked properly for most of the day. Still hasn't bloody unlocked! :twisted:

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I think a lot of people liked Judgement best. I really enjoyed it, it's probably my second favourite after Yakuza Kiwami 2. Still need to get round to playing the second Judgement game.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Xeno Crisis is a fantastic top down twin stick shooter, developed for the Sega Megadrive (and that's the version we have here) which uses the face buttons to shoot. You might think it would be a bit fiddly but you soon get the hang of it. It's a brilliant little arcade shooter. Tough, too. I only r...

Re: Really great 'retro' collections

Yeah I'm interested in that Atari collection just for the sheer scale of it, even if half the games are really not worth playing these games (subjective, I know). I'm most looking forward to the upcoming Jeff Minter collection, that's going to be amazing.

Re: Formula One

I'm about halfway through season six of Drive To Survive and enjoying it as much as ever. Despite not having any real interest in the sport, it's a fascinating show. One thing that puzzles me. Hamilton was world champion for 8 years, and then Max V comes along and blows him out the water. How does t...

Re: Games Completed 2024

Dead Island 2 This one surprised me. I had no interest in the first game and only gave this a go as it was on Game Pass. I ended up playing the whole thing co-op with a few friends and had a great time. Did you play the first Dying Light game? Wondered how this compares to that. I enjoyed Dying Lig...

Xenoblade Chronicles - on my third attempt to play this. I played around 15/20 hours on the Wii original and the same again on the Switch remaster last year. Just came back to my save and decided to start again. I really want to like this game but I just find it so confusing and complicated. It thr...

Re: 635: Yie Ar Kung-Fu

As a young child, before we had a computer of our own in the house, I'd eagerly lap up any gaming action I could get round friends houses. Yie Ar Kung-Fu was possibly the single game that made me badger and hound my parents in to buying us a gaming machine. I remember being so excited playing it at ...
