  • The Walking Dead

    Quote from Puddy

    After reading the comics I was expecting Season 3 to end this way. I was worried when

    I thought everything would become a soap-opera within the prision... glad that didn't happen.

    Yep, I'm glad they didn't drag out the prison until the end of the season. We're pretty much back on track with the comics at the moment. The group is split and left the prison. I liked the shot of Rick and Carl walking away from the prison. It's pretty much exactly how it was shown in the comics.

    Quote from Sugus

    I'm absolutely terrified by zombies! Buy i've heard the series are very good... worth overcoming my fears for?


    I'd say so. First season was ok until the end, second season again, was ok but a bit slow. Third and fourth seasons have got better though I'd say


    Quote from Jord

    The game is on sale on steam for the next 3 hours. I'm tempted...Haven't seen the TV series yet though.


    Do it! You love games.

  • The Peer Review

    Quote from SpronyvanJohnson

    Good article but I wonder if some people really fear it that much? I personally love to get feedback. It's the only way to improve.


    Yeah I agree. It's really not something to be afraid of. Sure, some people might be overly harsh and just outright say it's shit. But then you have the challenge of taking all the feedback and improving your level to hopefully make it more fun and balanced.


    I guess some people see negative feedback like they've done something "wrong"? People don't like being told off.


    Getting feedback is one of my favourite parts of level design

  • Battlefield 4

    It happens to me all the time on Conquest.


    I don't mind it spawning me outside of the capture zone as that stops people just spawning to stop the enemy capping it. But please make sure I at least spawn on my side of the map!

  • Battlefield 4

    God this game frustrated me last night to the point where I just alt+F4'd it, and I hardly ever do that in games.


    I was playing on Flood Zone (Which I usually enjoy) and every time I spawned I just died from sniper fire I couldn't hide from on the roofs. At first I was spawning in on my friend and died a few times so I went and spawned on the capture points instead thinking it'd be better to spawn on a point we own and run in on my own. The frustrating thing was I spawned on the enemy teams side of the point so I was immediately greeted with a gun in my face.


    It seems like both teams use the same spawn points for each capture point. So you could spawn on your side of the point or on the enemies side of the point. I'd have thought they'd have separate spawn points for either team and you'd only ever spawn on your side of the point. Sure you might still have enemies in your face but chances are less likely since there should be friendly guys coming from the same direction as you.


    Also, it'd be nice if they didn't use spawn points with enemies sat next to them. Nothings more frustrating than spawning only to be dead before the screen fades in from black (Which takes ages I might add).


    Rant over.


    I did have an awesome game on Zavod later in the night though

  • Fallout 4

    Quote from PaulH

    Looks like the official announcement is coming next week

    The Survivor 2299

    Sounds like the beeping might be morse code, probably some extra info there but my morse code skills are rusty


    The morse code is another date. 11-12-13 (11th December 2013).


    You know how Bethesda love to release stuff on dates which form some sort of pattern

  • Xbox One

    Quote from barrakid

    Microsoft tiles are not that bad. As with anything that it's different and new it takes some time to get used to it, but after a couple of weeks of using them (in windows it gets better. You basically just have to look at them the same way you look at the app icons on your iphone, they do the same thing.


    I've got Windows 8 at home and I really couldn't get used to them. Besides for PC use they are far too big when you have the accuracy a mouse gives. What was wrong with the icons we've been using for god knows how long? They are effectively those icons 10x bigger.


    The Metro screen felt like a big cluttered mess to me. Trying to find control panel was a nightmare on my first try :/


    I've disabled Metro and restored the start bar now and I'm much happier. It works on tablets and phones and possibly on Xbox. But please keep that shit off my PC.

  • Battlefield 4

    Quote from Pampers

    Second Assault is a timed exclusive for the xbone, for around two weeks or something.

    @ Beck, are you on a wireless setup? Adjusting the network slider in the options menu might help, might also be something with network throttling that you can try to turn off.


    Nah I'm wired with 60mb/sec internet. Every other game I play is fine and my download speeds aren't throttled.


    Are you guys still getting DDoSed? As I said all my friends were experiencing the same lag as me and a couple of them have different ISP's, some wired and some wireless, so I'm guessing it's not our side where the problems are occurring?


    Quote from knj

    fuck i srsly think about premium damn ;/

    but that calendar doesn't show when DLC's are out, just Chinia rising - or i'm missing smth ?


    I guess they've not announced the dates yet, I was just guessing based on what they did with the BF3 expansions.

  • Gravity

    Quote from knj

    man you've lost at least half of the experience cause to the 2d ;/


    I do want to see it in 3D and there are some friends of mine who haven't seen the movie yet so I will go and see it in 3D with them


    Quote from [HP]

    Anyway, I enjoyed the film a lot, was a nice ride!


    Quote

    She did say she'd spent some time in the simulator so she had at least some knowledge of how the Soyuz worked I guess?


    Saw this a couple of days ago and loved it. Saw it in old fashioned 2D since my friend doesn't like 3D and thought it was probably the best space-based film I've ever seen. Very very tense throughout and there were some lovely shots in it. Kinda makes me not want to go to space since if anything goes wrong up there you're fucked xD Not that I'm ever going to get to go to space anyway!
