Re: DooM: The Dark Ages

I love it. For me, I don't think it beats 2016 overall, but it's closer to what I wanted a follow-up to that game to be, in terms of style, tone, vibe etc. I removed a lot of screen effects and changed the parry colour from neon green, all of which helped me settle in to the game more in my own way....

Re: General Gaming News

Looks very cool, loving the art direction and I'm a sucker for good physics and animation. That being said, it's very much a tech demo and not the actual game yet, so I'm tempering my expectations; especially with it being UE5. If they pull off all the features they're aiming for with this, then it'...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

Excellent stuff. It's funny hearing some of it knowing that the real life details differ, such as Sal being a woman rather than a man and Smiley having a baritone voice (he had anything but that) and stealing sweets rather than booze, but I accept that I didn't offer all parts in such detail and tha...

Re: DooM: The Dark Ages

I'll throw in an alternate take. I wasn't sure at first, and I'm still getting used to the combat changes a few levels in, but it's clicking with me. They have entirely ditched double jumping and dodging - the latter still keeps catching me out - in favour of the shield for parries and dash-bash for...

Ah man, genuinely crying with laughter. First is still the best one, though.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

I was tempted to write back my own feedback to the guy saying: "Terrible buyer: never even heard of him." Anyway, whatever. 1. The man who, after being confronted for trying to sneakily take a whole box of razors in his carrier bag, exclaimed that it was all a mistake, he thought the entire box was...

when he reached the exit to round off his innocence with the announcement that he couldn't be a thief because he's a deep sea diver. :lol: Flawless logic. So, you live in Edinburgh then? I lived there for close to 9 years, but I have been living in Glasgow for nearly 3 years. I'm from North Ayrshir...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

Regarding food retail, I worked for Sainsbury's for years near the Royal Mile in Edinburgh - I have stories. Well, what are they? people at work who message you "hi", then spend 5-10 minutes typing out what they actually want. If you're going to break me off from what I'm doing, just tell me what y...

Those kind of messages are ignored. State your piece or fuck off.
