I might have said after the first trailer: I don't like the weapons. For what I can see they make it feel very UT. I would have liked more to see "straight" ports of Q3 guns

What TF2 updates? ?

Looking forward to really see the new Champions mechanics, if they really matter.

Also maps, what they shown isn't that exciting. Most importantly community support (if not a full editor a more powerful version of Snap Map please!)

like @text_fish said I'd like to see a Quake SP as well. I'm secretly hoping this white whale will materialise in a not too distant future.

Thanks, never heard of it despite being a sci-fi reader. Guess it's because I've read only a few in English. I thought was somehow a reference to brain jelly.

I bet you that like 5% gamers from the street -at best- would understand the reference.

Hence it's a bad name.

Well I was feeling like replaying MP3 a bit already and the movements and graphics are better. The NY sections being proper locations are visually more closely connected to the movie. The Remedy games were s bit trippy while R* is closer to the pure revenge of the movie

ps: there also are on the ground movements (after a dive)

pps: was also tempted to watch the first again once back. I should have organised this better and watched it the night before

Grand spectacle!

Happy I've taken the trip to the cinema.

Makes me want to play Mac Payne 3 again.

What about a bad name that makes you think about some cartoonish 2D platformer?

Haven't been (yet). Yes critique very good and mood/tone of the movie is completely different from the past, we could tell right away from the first trailer…

Just thinking that is very annoying to finally make a good movie when the actor leaves the role.

Sorry didn't see your post, just been chatting with Radu and found out about this. This is totally news!

this address sends you to my profile for sure. It's the one that comes up on my profile page. Dunno what's the problem with the account name, it's the one I log in and I thought was all that was necessary. I have a second account where I saved the duplicate games from the Orange Box but has a different name O.o

Never played any of Warhammer (except trying the boring TPS that came out a few years back).

Looks beautiful, but not surprisingly from an AAA production, like Dux says makes me think more of SC2 than its own thing.

I suck at RTSes anyway A slower, tactical game I'd give a shot, but you would hardly motivate me play massive stuff like this. Unless I could spend all day gaming but I'm not in school anymore.

I quite like the style. Should also make it lighter to run, download, easier to make maps (especially since they have an in-game editor).

Not completely original nowadays, but works.

I don't read comics, never heard of the Inhumans before the chatter of a new movie/tv show started a few months ago.

It has been recently confirmed and now there are quite few details on group, cast (the guy that was playing Ramsey Bolton in GoT is gonna be the baddie) and format (a miniserie)

Speculating budget will be high, they're shooting in IMAX (shooting started today apparently) and first two episodes should premiere in cinemas at launch (at least US).

curious to see a trailer.

@AlexM you only need to start Steam and add me

Surely in one year time you'll find good deals on the used market.

Kinda in the same position in terms of interest. I mean I actually like the console and the portability, commuting often it could really be a nice companion. Problem is there will be just a handful of games I'll be interested (never been into Nintendo's stuff).

i need to see more, but I'd be more likely to get a PS4 Slim (saw console with one game bundled for less than £200).

Thank you!

I'm happy to gift up to 5 copies to you friends.

Express your interest below by the 6th (when discount ends) and add me on Steam

so I can send them your way.

Saw this yesterday on Facebook

Fuck.

Fox is a company of idiots. They just keep churning crap after crap with the properties they license from Marvel.

I don't think Prometheus did well with critics as well? choosing to approve just because Scott has done a successful movie that doesn't have anything to do with the IP and even the genre is just stupid.

Bah.

Billions is so good. Shame that nobody is watching: it's basically House of Cards of the financial market, and Paul Giamatti is a fucking great actor.

i caught up with S1 (for some reason not all episodes were available when I watched it) and wish they could dump all S2 at once.

Keeping up with all the rest of DC's Arrow and Flash, the former being weaker than in the past and watching only because inertia, the latter is not reaching the heights of S2 (yet?).

Slowly catching up on Homeland S5… this whole German plot seems a bit too arbitrary.

Yes, we should tweet we saw a pirated version!

@Sprony what's this about a third chapter? I didn't know there was such a planned timeline, even more I was missing that Ridley had a trilogy planned.

I thought Blomkamp film was confirmed and that they were treating the things as separate franchises

TL:DR - Don't take no shit from nobody!

Thanks @Sprony, and also agreed.

Not that I feel like taking any shit, I was ready to discuss with HR and eventually bring this forward in more serious manner... but I think would be pointless. By saying that my line manager "said too much" I dunno how much of a case there would be even wanting to pursue. Most importantly at the end of the day I'm afraid it wiould be counter-productive, I just wanted to put on my CV a job with a "manager" title, if only for 6 months.

Tuesday the boss came to me to let me know he had just received an email informing him the HR girl that was supposed to prepare the package/offer has left the organization, so back at square one (despite already two weeks ago he had promised he would do this job himself as this girl had been sick for two weeks already).

I'm sure I'll get my owed increase (with back pay) and now I'll just get back to a serious job hunt. Hopefully I will be able to kindly turn down their offer cos I will have something else available. It annoys me because could have just be very convenient rack up some (official) managerial experience while I could work on videogame stuff in the spare time.

At least I can feel good that Furious Angels has been released this Monday and is now available on Steam. I've posted a topic in the releases forum.
