Video Games

Just a bit. It kept me entertained for a while, anyway. Just remembered I did a Rapha Classic Jersey as well. So badly want to be able to customise that nasty helmet colour. Or make a decent cycling cap.

Anyhoo, I'll let you all get back to your Titanfall and your zombies now…

It reminds me of Forza 3 and my hours spent doing stupidly accurate replica race liverys. In hindsight I should have been making TdF team cars...

Ah, I've been there with the original Forza back in the day. I did a couple of videogame themed ones:

But TdF team cars is a great idea. The Mavic neutral service car might be a nice easy one to start with.

Trying to dig out pics of some of mine. I posted a few on the forza forums years ago but all I can find now is a dead link :/

Just started playing through Deus Ex: HR, can anyone tell me in advance if there's still a problem with not being able to take the non-lethal approach in the boss battles? I originally put off playing it in the hope that they'd patch that.

Yes. Still largely not possible. You can make them kill themselves I guess. I'm not sure of that's universally true, though.

Adding ya now... I love L4D2...

I'm always late to games and don't own any consoles. Having first seen it years ago, I finally got round to purchasing Left 4 Dead 2- anyone on the forum still play this and up for some multiplayer zombie smashing?

Also still playing CSS and CSGO on steam if anyone wants to add I'm salmonchild on there too.

Yes sirs - I'll add you. L4D is good fun.

Got to the first boss battle, EMP grenade then 7 stun gun shots to the face took care of him. Then the cutscene shows him falling to the ground after getting shot, then I stick a blade through his head.

Nice...

Though I figured it wasn't fixed as the pacifist achievement states that lethal takedowns in boss battles are fine.

Forum zombie slaying. Great stuff. I'm on steam as Eightarmedpet. Can't remember if there are spaces in it or not.

New patch should have made Diablo III a lot more enjoyable. I don't want to try it, but as I'm an operator/mod in a hardcore Diablo community I kind of feel obliged to do so before I continue flaming and trolling about the game. Anyone here into that?

I'm curious to know as I've yet to play III, enjoyed II very much until it become repetitive just for that marginal gain.

Repetitive is no big deal for me. I could do runs for 6 hours straight 7 days a week without getting bored back in the D2 days.. But the type of repetitiveness in D3 is just different and bad, very bad. And there are yet some builds I wish to try in D2. As for D3 it's basically just pumping vit + dex/str/int and resistances and no real choice in skill setup.

What's the forum? I saw a colleague posting to a diabolo forum recently and totally secretly judged him.

opgauss.eu

A legit Diablo HC community.

I think his may have been illegit.

(I don't think that was it)

Spenceey, you in Norwich? Did a steam search...

Just a heads up...Tesco Direct have Titanfall for £37 when you enter the code TD-RN6K at checkout.
I've just cancelled my Amazon pre-order to buy it. Does any one know if Tesco pre-orders arrive on release day?

Mine was dispatched today so hopefully Ill get it tomorrow or release day at the latest. Site says delivery estimated for the 18th though which is pretty ridiculous sounding.

Assume that is if you order now.. When have you ordered yours?

I ordered a month ago.
My dispatch confirmation states:

**Dispatched date: **12/03/2014
**Estimated delivery: **18/03/2014

Maybe they're just hedging a bit.

download on the day...

dont you have to be careful playing games before their release date on xbox? I'm sure i've heard of people being banned from XBL for it in the past.

Usually you can't play before release...

Titanfall was released in the US on Tuesday.

This means the servers are live to the public which is usually the problem if you get a pre-release game. I'm sure there'll be no issues with playing Titanfall if it plops through your letterbox tomorrow...

Gotta read them terms and conditions!

Whats the media play back like on the xb1? I guess it still does netflix and the like. What about movies through an external hdd plugged in?
