Duck and Cover

I cant believe this place is still up and running. I'm even more impressed that i remembered a 15 year old password to log in to this embarrasing account of my cringy younger self. Hope everyone is having a good 2023!

I like watching e3. It is like a party-political broadcast/propaganda show. All praise the benevolent overlords of Sony and Microsoft. Now clap! We are giving you the future. Clap and rejoice. How dare you question our purely philanthropic venture!

The dystopian future is now.

I'm still on Die Antwoord. This shit should be old by now, but someone it issnt.

It was ok.


Best moment: Free to play Killer Instinct with one (!) free character. I predict a lot of Jago vs Jago.

Not been here in months. *One* good post.

CLASSIC IRONMAN MODE. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES.

Lose your top 6, attack alien-base with rookies.

What's Victoria about? It's like post-EU? Vicky is a shamelessly Euro/western-centric strat game like EU, but the mechanics for EU doesnt quite work with the industrial revolution etc. so they have changed quite a big regarding trade, research, politics and pops. Its probably one of my favourite gr...

All this Paradox love is really getting me psyched for the next Europa Universalis. Its been so long, but I hope its still as good as I remember it beeing. Hopefully they have taken the good bits from Vicky 2, HoI 3 and CK2 and mashed it all together in a glorious new grand-scale experience. As I un...

So I watched dredd some days ago and... aw yes. Finally a Dredd that does the comics justice. I really *really* hope they get enough funds to make "America" into a movie. I saw an interview with one of the movies directors (or something or other) who said he would explore more of the polit...

Man, I wish they for *once* would have the balls to add the backstory of the fascist government into the movies. If you ever read the comic called 'America' it really shows how much of a fascist enforcer Dredd really is. I once read an interview with one of the creators of the comic books where he s...

People make new friends at our age? I always though you just stuck with whatever friends you had and slowly got a family to cover for friends when they eventually move on with their lives. But if you absolutely need some human contact I suggest some form of organized sport. Rugby, football, soccer o...

Something I keep reading on reddit I think. About 50% of the time it's written there every time. Cakeday is birthday I assume. Which is about as clever as calling Easter 'Happy Egg'. AMA is short for I need attention, please talk to me, i'll even lie and invent a personality to reap reddit internet ...

I didnt see it! Dont stop the thread, instead repeat everything you all said about the movie again so I can read it and make up my mind.

Huh? We need em.

About a week ago I hooked up a joystick to my laptop and configured it to work with Nebula, the NeoGeo emulator. Played through so many fucking brilliant old arcade games. That machine was the fucking epitome of 2d games looking gorgeous. All the Metal Slug games, Punisher, various weird japanese sp...

Its pretty "meh" to be honest. It is a perfectly fine time-waster, but as previously mentioned the battles are simple and do what they have and nothing more. There is also a sense of repetition since you cant place cities like in a civ game, nor can you build things for specific planets. A...

I'm caught by the DayZ virus. Playing with two friends (a lie, I dont have friends) and it is really addictive and the gun battles are quick and tense.

War of the Roses Alpha. So far it looks pretty good visually. Needs a lot of work to be able to compete with Mount & Blade on the gameplay however. A bit static, hit-detection and collisions are pretty funky and not to mention you can pass through enemies but not allies. Will probably be pretty ...

The last mech game I played was Chrome-hounds which was pretty good. Lego-style customisation, online persistent world combat and squad based deathmatch gameplay. Servers are shut down now, so its too late to get back in the mech. Hawken looks like an ok free-to-play mech game, but will probably end...

Well, clearly all the demos are finely tuned to show off exactly what they want to show. No one is really debating that aspect of it, but many of the events that happened in The last of us appeared to be more scripted than they actually were. For instance, the enemies wont be in the same spot every ...
