Re: General Gaming News
I can understand where Mantis is coming from, but the difference with Game Pass is that all those games (with a few exceptions) can be bought and owned, albeit the digital copies, the license can be "bought". TV subscription services have a lot of content that can neither be bought digitally or phys...

Re: General Gaming News
The growing anger on the internet over this price increase is quite palpable. To be honest I don't blame them. Just look at the record. The Xbox Series console went from $500 at launch six years ago to $650 today with guess what...the same components! Game Pass Ultimate went from $10 a month in 2017...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)
Heathers (1988) . Strong beginning that lost focus around the mid point. Slightly overrated but I can see how it influenced so many films that followed. 7/10 The Wages of Fear (1953) . Absolutely brilliant. This film has been adapted 4 times now and I think this is just as good than the William Fri...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)
I am watching a lot more TV and movies than gaming. I think that is because after spending a day staring at my monitor, I want a break from it. Also due to so many films today being really bad, I have delved into watching older films. Here is a sample from the last several months: Hoffman (1970) - a...

Re: Loss less v 320Kbps v 128Kbps. Take the test
I think arqueturus you are in the minority which is great. If you can afford it and its important to you, why not. The Gizmodo article was interesting. Streaming over Bluetooth really downgrades the quality because the data gets compressed. I listen to music 2 ways - on my phone to my wireless heads...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)
Rebel Without a Cause Also excellent, if a little dated in places now. James Dean’s performance is on point and I found the action truly tense, so I can only imagine what an impact it had in the 1950s. The 4k transfer is spoiled a bit by blurry scene transitions, which I’ve never encountered before...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
GOT: House of the Dragon
Season 1
9/10 - excellent, back to form. The series took inspiration from real events such as medieval English monarchy civil wars and the court of Julius Ceasar and Livia.
