Television Rick and Morty return November 2019
gamer.tv replied to silentbob's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
Channel Four have bought it in the uk and so won’t be shown until 2020. Looks like I’ll be watching on my laptop -
General Gaming D1P's games of the decade
gamer.tv replied to ShreddieMercury's topic in The Spawn Point
So this was a lot harder than it had any right to be and I feel that I will return back to this list in a few days and edit it. However, I've chosen 7 games, with a number of "could have been on the list, but weren't quite there. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii) It's been 8 years, but I still haven't played a more fun game on any console. For me, it's about as close to being the perfect game (I say based on memory, not after playing recently). Portal 2 (Xbox 360) The writing and the design are just incredible. Mario Kart 8 (Wii U) An odd choice for some (possibly) but a lot of my favourite gaming moments are shared ones. I played this over a winter with my now wife, pretty much every day and it's such a nice memory. Until Dawn (PS4) For the reasons above. Ocarina of Time 3D (3DS) Definitely cheating, but I never did finish OoT on the N64 and the three or so weeks I dedicated my free time to this was wonderful and worth while. Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds This falls very much in line with Super Mario Galaxy 2. An incredibly well designed game that has perfect pacing and gameplay. Journey (PS4) For me, the most important game of the last decade. I played it, I think in about 2016, when I was moving away from gaming as a hobby (I hadn't picked up anything for maybe 8 months prior). This came along and gave me back that love of the medium. The rest below, either were games that I loved,played a huge or have some sort of nostalgic memory for (I'm sure you can see, I love playing horror games with an audience, hence the inclusion of a few). Batman: Arkham Asylum (Xbox 360) Rocket League (PS4) Resident Evil 7 (PS4) The Last of Us Doom (PS4) Dead Space 2 Skyrim Red Dead Redemption Mass Effect 2 -
General Gaming What are you playing today?
gamer.tv replied to CastlevaniaNut18's topic in The Spawn Point
I'll be continuing with the stressful fun of Resident Evil 2 and balance it out with Overwatch. Although, I do have Arkham Knight to finish and the temptation is to absolutely marathon it so I can polish it off (as it would be nice to play RE2 with my wife and then try out Nioh). -
I used to really dislike people touching my back, though I couldn't tell you why (outside of not liking it once then acting like a cock for several years). Suffice to say, I'll never be an overly cuddly person at the best of times.

Another good month (which at the moment means I'll put the games in my library and dream of playing them all one day).

Books What Are You Reading or Listening To?
gamer.tv replied to rc0101's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
I've read quite a few of the 'Last Kingdom' series, but now after taking a break I can't remember which is the next book I need to read (my copies are spread out at my parents house, my mother/father in laws and mine so I have no clue). At some point, I'll bite the bullet and just buy a few and just see. -
It's been interesting seeing the reviews come out for the game. I watched the IGN (US) review this morning and they slated nearly every aspect of the game, but similarly told me barely anything about the game as a whole, just everything they didn't write. The actual score (6.8), to me seemed like a way to drive up web traffic, than a fair impression. Especially looking at others impressions (which by in large are in the 8-9/10 range). I'm not picking it up just yet as it seems like a User Review kind of game, but I'm glad I haven't pre-ordered.

gamer.tv replied to CastlevaniaNut18's topic in The Spawn Point
I played about 30 minutes of Arkham Knight today and the man-bat scared the life out of me. I also ended up being in town, so picked up RE2 (remake) considering the day and after playing only the first 20 minutes, it's pretty much perfect so far, to me. Also, still plugging away at Chrono Trigger (I've just got the time machine), so I'll keep digging away. It's fun having a DS just to play the occasional game on - though once I finish Chrono Trigger I'll be fairly torn on what to start next (Dragon Quest games, The World Ends with You, Mario & Luigi, Pokemon, the list goes on...) -

Of all things, Twilight Princess (Wii version, playing on the Wii U) and I started Chrono Trigger back up on the DS. As you can tell, nothing that current, which is due to being back in education and thus being poor as fuck. The reason for Zelda was mainly I really fancied a good adventure game and I've never finished it, plus I remember it being pretty easy, so I'm aiming to blast through it relatively quickly if it maintains my interest. -
General Gaming IGN'S Top 100 Games of All Time 2019 Edition

I'd be interested to see how they came to those decisions (it would be nice if it was based on a company wide poll). -
Books What Are You Reading or Listening To?
gamer.tv replied to rc0101's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
Open question, is The Handmaids Tale actually worth reading? I need to go charity shop book buying and I’m assuming it’ll be available (along with 200 copies of Fifty Shades of a Gray and Gone Girl) -

Reading the Assassin's Quest - Robin Hobb. I'm not emotionally ready to finish the series and have a gulf in my life. -
Nintendo Help me choose which Zelda game to play
gamer.tv replied to ShreddieMercury's topic in The Spawn Point
I would play OoT with a guide nearby for any moments you become a tad lost, then Wind Waker. Then if you still fancy more after that, LttP, TP and then SS. Although if you're willing to buy it, I'd put Majora's Mask after LttP. -
General Gaming What are you playing today?
gamer.tv replied to CastlevaniaNut18's topic in The Spawn Point
Pretty much every summer I have that feeling. I have the time, I have things to play, but I can only sit down for 20 minutes before losing interest. I mix it up then with reading, music and movies and then come back to gaming as the weather shifts. Usually with either a really well reviews game or some shorter experiences. -
I've started my teacher training and with the commute and workload, I wasn't able to fit in the gym (I tried in the morning but the earliest I can wake up is 5am it seems and I had enough time to get up, get my clothes ready, cook food for the day, shower and get to the bus station) and after, depending on how late I stay I still have a high workload). So I've paid for a workout programme at home, so there's bodyweight workouts that you exercise along with, a really robust food plan and it works in 25 minute HIIT bursts. I'll see how it goes, but I just like the idea of someone else guiding my eating and workouts (though naturally, will always have extra with rugby, walking, dog walking, running) but the fact I'm 30 in 2 months has made me want to enter that part of my life (and career) as a role model for people that I'm with. I'll see how it goes.

What beer or liquor have you drank recently
gamer.tv replied to Remarkableriots's topic in The Shower
Had a few pints of a local beer called AM:PM which was nice and some Middle Eastern beers when eating out which were perfectly fine. -
Fleabag (Live): It was one of those "performed live in London, shown in select cinema deals". It was very well done, very, very well acted and for those that enjoyed the series, essential. My take away was it may have been more impactful after another year as the series only recently finished, but still, Waller-Bridge is now a British icon.

General Gaming System Shock 3 Pre-Alpha trailer

That felt like a trailer for a new Muse CD. -

So we finished Man of Medan and it was perfectly fine. I love the gameplay and the idea of playing with people sitting with you, but it ended too soon and I did t feel the fear. On finishing, it does show the next game due to be released and I’m very interested in that. -

Man of Medan and Arkham Knight.
