  1. I have a bunch of local band EPs I've thought about uploading. Are you wanting them for the Soundcloud account? http://i.imgur.com/ord6MGq.jpg
  2. Don't worry, a lot of people wanted to kill themselves after playing it.
  3. https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/news/local/bid-to-change-who-is-responsible-for-noise1/
  4. I'm kind of relieved that the season's over. What a complete pile of wank most of it was. Dorne was so fucking awful! It's true that books 4 and 5 can be long winded and have plotlines which advance slowly, but there's still some great stuff in there that they just completely missed out as a means to simplify or streamline things for TV, the majority of which were failures. Do yourselves a favour and read the books. They aren't perfect, but there's significantly more depth/intrigue and less 'shirtless Ramsay beats Ironborn/Brienne leaves 5 seconds before candle gets lit' moments.
  5. Sorry if it's a repost. I tried to go back earlier in the thread to check, but all I saw were posts about Stayover.
  6. If you can afford a somewhat decent PC, then there's next to no reason for getting an Xbox or PS4 unless your mates have one and a handful of console exclusives which are unlikely to be worth purchasing a console to play them. Most games worth your time these days will be released on PC, and normally 10 quid cheaper if you don't want to wait for the sales. I just use Steam's Big Picture mode through my TV and an Xbox controller. Worked a treat for Dark Souls.
  7. Max profit for minimum effort. Half of these HD remakes are hilariously similar to the originals anyway, just slightly improved textures and lighting.
  8. Arkham Origins is good, albeit a bit less polished than the first two and it is the same map as Arkham City with a bit extra tacked on. I preferred the first one as well because it felt more guided and immersive, with each part being well designed. Going sandbox didn't make Arkham City automatically better I thought, and there were just way too many Riddler trophies etc. to superficially increase the longevity of the same. Arkham Asylum got the balance right a lot better. I haven't finished Arkham Origins yet, but if you liked the first two games then it's worth picking up if it's cheap.
  9. Saints Row IV on PC. Loved Saints Row 3, but in this game there's no point driving about because you can run up buildings and jump really far. Noticed a cheeky wee reference to Day of the Tentacle: http://steamcommunity.com/id/russianguyovich/screenshots/?appid=206420 I've also got Dark Souls working with some mods, but the keyboard and mouse controls are utter shite. Tried using a PS2 controller but it only recognises either the analog stick or the D-Pad individually (meaning you can't move and select items at the same time), so I'll need to get an Xbox controller for it.
  10. http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/'>http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/ System requirements are further down. I'll be honest - although the game came out in late 2007, the amount of new items/hats/weapons that have been added has resulted in it being quite unoptimised, so even if you easily meet those specs with a pc which is a few years old then you could see a drop in performance if there's a lot of things going on (which is most of the time as it's a tad chaotic). There are however some community-created configuration files you can use to improve performance at the expense of graphics, so if you install it and are having trouble running it then give me a shout and hopefully I can point you in the right direction.
  11. Good man. Everyone should try TF2 at least once (not the console versions as they haven't been updated in years). I've tried multiple times to drag myself away from it, but now I've passed 2100 hours :\ http://steamcommunity.com/id/russianguyovich/stats/TF2'>http://steamcommunity.com/id/russianguyovich/stats/TF2 My favourite game of all time pretty much. It's free to play as well.
  12. Far Cry 3 is definitely worth picking up. The single player is around 40 hours to get 100% completion and is miles better than Far Cry 2 which I found pretty boring. Co op and multiplayer are very generic and dull though.
  13. Valve gave me 2 spare copies of Dota 2 if anyone wants them.
  14. Are you actually finding stuff to buy with the gold? I ended up with about 450k with nothing I needed from a shop apart from spell books.
  15. I definitely preferred New Vegas over Fallout 3. It was a bug-ridden mess on launch but a lot of the issues have been patched now on the PC version with reduced loading times. Quite a few of the guys from Black Isle (original creators of Fallout/Fallout 2) work for Obsidian and were involved in New Vegas so a lot of the plot/factions follow the first games a lot more and Van Buren which was supposed to be Fallout 3 before Interplay went bust. Fallout 3 had a bit too many subway stations and sewers for my liking and I found myself bored a lot of the time. New Vegas is definitely worth a proper playthrough. If you check out the wiki you will see just how massive the game is, with tons of possibilities and outcomes for each objective or mission depending on the skills you go with. There's also an ammo creation system so you can break down ammo you don't need and make them into bullets for the guns you have. I don't have a PS3 but it sounds pretty interesting.
  16. Tokyo Jungle? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Jungle
