Re: Video Game Bonanza!

"Hmm, what's this 'PS5' the whippersnappers are talking about?" *fires up Microsoft Encarta* Having played S:BZ, I can see how annoying this is. Condolences for the time lost :lol Nowhere near as annoying as a biome you'll get to later though! https://media.tenor.com/TD6rTrxKG-IAAAAM/blank...

Re: Video Game Bonanza!

Very annoying but very dumb of me at the same time. I guess 3 hours exploration is maybe about an hour to redo (I go around in circles a lot), so not the end of the world. Hope you're enjoying! Well I have a thing where I avoid buying the new AAA games as "I'll wait till I can get them on PS5&q...

Re: Video Game Bonanza!

Well at least Ragnarok was worth all the build up? I look forward to playing it in a couple of years when I finally get a PS5. Picked up Subnautica: Below Zero as it was finally on offer. Struggled a bit at first as it seems less easy to find upgrades at first, but finally made quite a bit of progre...

Re: The Official "Total Randomness" Thread

Woo Benny! Hope to see your thoughts on the new album at some point, always nice to see how it's gone down with people that were around since the start.

Re: Video Game Bonanza!

It's pretty fun, gets quite repetitive like an Assassin's Creed game though (new area - vantage point - do same tasks in new area, etc), which is tiring for me as I have a need for the completion of all map icons. Driving around and customising the car keeps it interesting at least.

You can do it Shea!

I've been playing Mad Max, which is quite a generic open world RPG in a lot of ways but also to replenish health you eat dog food or maggots from dead bodies?

Re: "Love, Actually" him!

Just had a completely random thought wandering around my head. If you were to meet your celebrity crush, would you tell them they're your celebrity crush? Trying to think of how that conversation would go... I give it 2% odds of going well. Emma Watson probably walks around and assumes 75% of the m...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

The above caused me to have a look at the relative figures on Spotify out of interest, but the most eye-popping thing for me was that Island of Fools has a freakishly high number of plays compared to the rest of TLH - only Show Me a Leader and My Champion have more, which were both released prior to...

Re: AB VI Studio/Recording Thread

Walk The Sky is a record I enjoyed more at the time it released. It was better than The Last Hero and reminded me of some of the material on AB III, so I enjoy it for the most part. It didn’t really stay in my rotation after Marching In Time was released though. And now that Pawns and Kings is out,...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Def not understanding the love Holiday is getting. It's a cool tune, but doesn't belong in AB's catalog. Totally breaks the flow of the album for me. "Love"? Are we reading the same comments?! I think it has two votes in the other thread, which means two people from all voters rate it in ...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

It is odd if there isn't one on the vinyl as they've done the work already for the CD. I'm peeved they went to cardboard packaging on this one as it spoils my shelf continuity.

Yup, one of their better flowing longer songs to my ears.
