You make it so hard to tag you ? but I guess you might be interested in this then

I am waiting for this actually:

Also it was confirmed that Spider-Man “3” will introduce the multiverse in the most classic depiction, with both McGuire and Garfield’s versions of Spider-Man appearing, along with some baddies like Electro and best of all, Molina’s Doc Oc.

I find it weird this is happening, the Neill Blomkamp project died because they were going forward with Ridley’s project. Wonder if they’ll still do the film, or that died too.

But i would guess the tv show will play with Weyland Yutani setting the show after Aliens, letting Scott do his prequel thing (if the third is still a prequel, sounded like would be basically a remake of the original Alien).

How many fuxing production companies Disney owns, where’s the anti trust? ?

Not really, considering all western and peer countries seem to be heading into this "soft dictatorship approach".

Not sure we will, I would expect they will be rolling to the highest risk people, as shown by the granny in the UK(?)

Ok, looks like now the future of the Alien franchise is on TV

Noah Hawley is making an Alien TV series for FX and Hulu - The Verge

Pure speculation of course, but i'm wondering wether or not some govs will have the balls to push it as far as that.

Is there much of a difference forcing people by telling them to line up, versus denying people rights if you don’t get the vaccine?

I think I’d actually prefer the first option, the false choice is even more disgusting.

What you mean by that, and does it refer to any country in particular? Reading this makes sense to me only where hospitals are private, and where I lived (Italy, UK) hospitals are run by the government anyway.

In the meantime the EU agency for approval of the vaccines has been hacked -- not sure what to think, if bad or good, in the sense that is good in case they are fast tracking something not really ready for distribution, but at the same time wonder if someone would claim there's proof of vaccines being harmful when it's not the case.

Personally needing a vaccine for this makes me feel old, and I wish there was no need. Is not much the right now, one-off, but if I understand correctly we might be looking at more mass vaccinations in the future? Also would like to have the choice to which vaccine to be injected with, as Pfizer has a shady history and rather go with something else.

Just noticed there's no topic for this. It generated a lot of interest when unveiled a few months ago, with a lenghty intro/walkthrough. The levels are interestingly built using Trenchbroom, the most used editor to create Quake maps today, which are then imported into Unreal Engine 4 for dressing and lighting. More details on that here.

Trailer:

Anyway... I opened the topic because you can actually see the game for yourself as there is a demo available throughout the Game Awards, similarly to the Game Fest they did not long ago on Steam.

I started it as well but was too tired to enjoy, I actually fell asleep pad in hand between the first few fights ? but before that I managed to capture some hilarious phys bug.

I’m gonna probably start it again to proper take it in.

Although I must say the game doesn’t start gracefully: it doesn’t make sense how you are thrown in the adventure, how timely it’s your arrival with the Hiss… it makes it feel poorly written/rushed. I hope they patch it up as the story unfolds.

I remember sometime recently it was discussed in the forum about game size. Good points made here.

I hope I get a new job soon and then to be able to justify upgrading. Although I'm not sure I can get back to a desktop setup due to space... atm I'm working on a small folding desk ?

I've been tempted to get the game just to try and learn the tools and play with some old HL2 ideas in the new engine... kinda intrigued if it would be possible to make something playable without having the VR set [and rely on playtest].

But I've also read about the awful compile times on @FMPONE's twitter, so that's very discouraging considering I have a much older machine in comparison.

That’s a big update you pushed! Congrats for making it in ?

“Cyberpunk 2077 has standout side quests and strong main characters, though its buggy, superficial world and lack of purpose bring it down.”

Wow, you're still the only one in atm.

Have you completed all the levels available in the current release? I played through the Alpha (but couldn't beat the credits arena ?) and before getting into the editor I wanted to play through the game to see what's been done already.

Good to see de_Aztec got an update.

Did think of this myself last night when i saw those new T models.

I don't mind too much, actually this is going towards the direction I was posting about a couple years ago, saying "CS should be more COD" as I wanted/would like to see very thematical operations, with a set of maps that feel a bit like a campaign, with a 2-3 particular factions involved and even new weapons... that would maintain consistency (and readability) instead of the wild mess of choosing whatever model one prefers [to try and blend in some lame ass spot].

Did think of your map when I saw the promo page!

I completed Uncharted 2 the other night -- I almost can't believe the leap in... well every aspect of the game, they achieved in two years from the previous release. My sore points for such refined games are just two: Naughty Dog's checkpoint system is crap, and Drake makes some jumps that defy believability, I'm not talking about realism, I mean that the game seems to bend player metrics depending what the designers want to show: there's a clear feel that the player model is artificially translated in mid-air, I'd bet some money on it.

I should play God of War, but I bought Control with the Black Friday discounts just to play something more recent (on the spot I thought it was a 2020 release but durr) so that's gonna be the next thing.

What's the name of the last community map in the shots, doesn't have a sticker/label! (I don't have CSGO installed)
