Yep, 3 episodes in now and it’s far better than I’d hoped for. They’ve nailed not just the feel of Fallout but the details too, not to mention the moments of dark comedy. A really fun and faithful adaptation so far!

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
I think I'm going to plough through them as quickly as I can, as my dad's trying to watch at the same time on my account, so I had to rewind from 48 minutes in when I started. It could end in tears if we're not careful.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Just watched episode 1 of Fallout.
I... I think they've done it justice.

He’s so dense that light bends round him, though.

Re: Currently Playing
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Finished this exceptional game. The vast majority has been a sheer joy to play, not falling back on nostalgia but building upon it in ways that frequently surprised and delighted me. There were obviously going to be more changes from the original FF7, but I found most to b...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan
I largely agree, but on the other hand that’s one chonk of a rat! I’d expect boss music if the council take that on.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 [PC, PS4, XBone] - out September 17 2020
The DLC is great. Interesting characters, a sizeable new area and choices that genuinely change the outcome. I talked to my dad about it when he'd finished it and we'd gone completely different directions in the DLC, to the point where I had no idea what he was on about with some things. Seems like ...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
3 Body Problem I've seen next to no one talking about this (apart from it's banned in China). Made by the two guys behind Game of Thrones series based on a Chinese sci-fi novel. It's very much in the style of a Netflix series in that it's actually pretty good but will no doubt get cancelled shortly...

Re: UHD/HDR must haves
I've seen on-screen comparisons of Aliens bluray to 4k, and whilst it does appear to have been a bit more digitally "scrubbed" it seems to be mainly noticeable on the occasional facial shot, not as bad as True Lies and nowhere near the execrable Terminator 2 4k. I'll find out end of the month when ...

Re: UHD/HDR must haves
Finally, True Lies! :o This arrived yesterday, and I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of quality because reviews have been a mixed bag. James Cameron has seen fit to smear True Lies, Aliens and The Abyss with DNR, scrubbing away the grain to give a weird plastic look to the image. It's a tool th...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)
John Wick 3 and 4 Nope. They lost me. 1 and 2 were short, simple, highly-choreographed bloodfests, which worked nicely as an action formula. 3 and 4 are waaaaay too long. As impressive as the actions scenes are, some of them went on for bloody ages to the point where I just lost interest. They shou...

Re: The Room 102 thread - for things you love or just having a bloody good praise!
I'd been talking to my parents about a new shower they've had installed and I was trying to find the model they'd got. I'd heard them say it was a "grower" (which turned out to be Hansgrohe).
Googling "grower shower" did not produce expected results.

Re: Currently Playing
I've just got to Cosmo Canyon, which I've not explored at all yet but looks phenomonal. Costa Del Sol, the Gold Saucer and Corel are all fantastic. Gongaga isn't bad but I have thoughts, which I'll hold off on for now, except to say I think it's the closest the game has come to a stumble so far.
