    I mean cardboard is pretty cheap you could just cut out your own replacements I guess. I'm sure each box could come with a code for a template or whatever.

    This doesn't interest me at all but I could see it being fun for kids.

  • Nintendo Switch

    I got Zelda BOTW for my birthday last week and it's a great game. like FMP I found the controls a little awkward at first but I got used to the quickly. I love the survival aspects in the game and it makes me want to try and cook to create heat resistant food and such. Normally I don't care about crafting or cooking in games so well done Nintendo on that! Love exploring the world and finding interesting ways to defeat monsters. Not a huge fan of the breakable weapons but I've never been short of stuff to use so it's no big deal.

    I think Mario is the better game of the two but Zelda is still awesome.

    The Switch is great though, can't wait to go on holiday next and not be bored on the plane! :D

  • Mario Odyssey

    I got a free Switch from work and this was the first game I picked up and haven't been disappointed at all. I'm not a huge Mario fan, don't really enjoy the side scroller Mario's, but loved 64 and Sunshine so this was right up my alley.

    I've not once felt lost in the game and have had fun exploring all these little worlds. They really do cram a lot of moons into them I feel like I'm always finding secret areas and it feels great. I want to explore every nook and cranny to find every last moon I can. I enjoy taking control of enemies too. Definitely a 10/10 game.

    Picking up Zelda BOTW once I'm done with this one.

    I really missed when those games had a real OST made for them. All the tracks from B2 are amazing. Then comes the classic shits from EA

    To be fair the soundtrack from Burnout 3 was shit hot. Always feel like I'm driving a million miles an hour listening to it.

  • WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

    The scene is looking really nice but I don't like the lens flares from the candles. Feels off to me and I don't feel candles produce enough light to give off lens flares. I'm no lighting artist though, just saying!

    I guess it comes down to when the scene is set? I can see what look like some fairy lights, so I'm guessing it's present day at least? Perhaps you can use some wall sconces to give off more light if that's what you want?

    £3 for both Max Payne 1 and 2.

    Absolute steal for the price of a pint!

  • Battlefront 2

    Star War themed online casino. That phrase probably had Disney going crazy. They're not even calling it a game they're calling it a casino! This is probably going to have some knock on effects for everyone in the gaming world. Maybe we'll see the end of loot boxes and we'll just be able to buy what we want in the future?

    I doubt we'll see the end of microtransactions though. Devs/publishers will just find another way to package it. I saw a good comment somewhere saying we should stop calling them microtransactions, it's not a microtransaction when you're dropping tens or even hundreds of £/$ on keys to open crates to hopefully get an item you want. Those are some big transactions!

  • Battlefront 2

    All they needed to do was make crates cosmetics only and everyone would have loved it. I'm sure EA have the creative license to make new helmets for the storm troopers, new heads or bodies for the droids and all the different camo patterns you can think of. They're big enough to push for that creative freedom from Disney.

    Imagine you could customise your storm trooper armour with different boots, breastplates, capes, visors, insignia and everything in between. People would be buying crates like hot cakes.

    It was a bad idea putting stat-changing items in a loot box.

  • The Walking Dead

    I've been watching the latest episodes too and it does feel boring and it's all over the place.


    To begin with they rock up at Neegan's place and Rick is all like "I'm gonna kill him!". They're all there with their guns pointed at him and he's stood on the balcony with no cover, no friends and a baseball bat and he doesn't get shot. Rick then misses about 100 bullets in his direction when normally he can hit a zombie in the head every time no problem.

    Then there was all the flash backs and forwards I didn't have a clue where we were.

    Then it was just 2 episodes of people constantly shooting each other blindy. They good guys were killing the baddies and the baddies got up as zombies and started eating their friends even though their friends had guns and SAW THEM WAKING UP AS ZOMBIES they just cowered all scared and didn't fire a shot and let them eat them. I mean c'mon... these are meant to be nasty people who have lived in a zombie apocalypse for 2 years (?) now! Surely they know about people coming back form the dead to eat them and should be used to it by now.

    Then this episode Carol hid behind a car whilst 4 guys just kept shooting the car endlessly. The king guy got saved over and over at the last opportunity and the tiger died in a pretty dumb way, I'm sure an alpha predator could have got out of that situation and wouldn't have let itself get surrounded by some slow moving zombies.

    I dunno. It just feels like they're dragging out all these fights and we're not gonna see Neegan again till the mid-season finale where he'll come back and do something shocking...
