Oh, my god I forgot to tell you all about GunBuster , which, if you enjoyed Neon Genesis Evangelion, I recommend you should watch immediately. It's the same director, Hideaki Anno, their directorial debut in 1989, and it's got a fair few of the same themes as NGE, but is different enough as well to ...

How did you manage to get your force to 40k? Right now I'm at the end of chapter 9 and I've hit a brick wall because my power is stuck at just under 30k and I can't figure out any way to get it up without spending money. I've mostly run out of character upgrade items, and weapon upgrades aren't goo...

I too have been playing Re[in]carnation, and I have to say you've pretty much described exactly how I feel about the game, as well. Personally I just stuck on auto-battle and fast-forward for all of my battles so far, they're completely meaningless. I've upgraded my team force to 40K-ish now and am ...

I hear this "The Ascent" game is supposed to be good, and it's out today on Game Pass i believe!

After getting stuck on Mission 6 of Doom 64 and then sacking it for about 6 months, I decided last night to find a strategy guide and figure out what I was missing. Turns out there was an extremely hard to make out staircase on one of the walls that lets you climb out of a dark hole. I thought it wa...

Watched a few of Ari Aster's short films over the weekend: The Strange Thing About the Johnsons was truly horrifying, but not in the usual horror sense, I get the feeling Aster likes to subvert expectations and shock people rather than go for a simple jump scare. Trigger warning going into this one,...

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir Basically, Project Hail Mary took me longer to read than I had hoped, and it wasn't totally worth it in the end, at least not for me. Much better than Artemis but I don't know if I'll be reading Weir's next book. A few people recommended this heavily to me and I picke...

Just finished reading Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian . It's a long, violent story of the american wild west, following a gang of mercenaries across different parts of mexico and texas. Someone in the movies thread recommended "Hostiles" as a good "Revisionist Western". I had no...

I'm thinking I might start a Dark Souls 3 new game (or maybe NG+, not sure yet). Don't suppose anyone else is playing at the moment are they? (Seems unlikely, but thought I'd ask!) I’m sort of chipping away at dark souls 2. It’ll be a while before 3 I think. Give me a year and I’ll be all over it I...

I got the Streets of Rage 4 DLC, Shiva's just a ton of fun to play, the other 2 are good, but he's just a step above for me. The DLC is definitely worth checking out if you like main game; 3 new characters and a new survival mode. I absolutely loved SoR4 so this sounds great. Is there any new arcad...

:D Some amazing reccs, I've a lot to keep me busy I have actually watched Under the Skin and i think i know the scene you're talking about. Definitely deserves a rewatch though because it was a while ago and it was excellent. Scarlett Johansson was such an odd character in that film, really cool con...

Had a bit of a double bill this week with Hereditary earlier in the week and Midsommar last night. Both are Ari Aster films, and I can see the similarities in them. Really enjoyed both, but they are definitely quite difficult to stomach at times. He doesn't shy away from putting his characters throu...

After the Nintendo Direct and seeing how good Metroid DREAD looks, I decided to get my 3DS again and play Metroid: Samus Returns . Update: Finished Samus Returns, it was very good. Flew through it, even though I spent 11 hours playing it didn't feel that long. Straight into Metroid Fusion now, also...

I really liked Detention, must give that a go. After the Nintendo Direct and seeing how good Metroid DREAD looks, I decided to get my 3DS again and play Metroid: Samus Returns . It seems I only got a few hours into it back when I first bought it then forgot about it, so I've picked up my save file a...

Haha, that's a shame. Let us know if you end up getting some Gold again soon!

I really like the look of the new Halo multiplayer stuff :U

Playing a small amount of Valorant , mostly to test out my new laptop's ability to run relatively modern games. The game's fine, it's a fun twist on Counterstrike with hero-based abilities like Overwatch, but it's not completely hooked me or anything. More importantly it runs at a stable 50ish fps o...

I'm probably not able to do it this Sunday, a friend of mine is getting married soon and they are having a stag do in their back garden. However on the off chance that it wraps up earlier than expected I might see yous online.

My gamertag is Feirsteax, and Sunday night after 9pm sounds grand to me

this'll be interesting, hopefully there'll be a few surprises
