I remember Top Gun: Maverick being everywhere and that turned out to be very good.

I watched it today with my kids and it was great :)

Fission Mailed

Thanks. Haven’t seen this before so will watch it tonight.

Avatar Fire and Ash

Quite boring and I ended up leaving it on while I did other stuff. Felt like I was watching The Way of Water again…

• Napoleon Dynamite
• Brassed Off
• October Sky
• Fighting With My Family

Thunderbolt (1995) is a fun racing movie if you haven’t seen it before.

Also I love the Tokyo levels in Metropolis Street Racer and the Project Gotham Racing series so recommended those too.

As for Forza I don’t particularly care for the series anymore so won’t bother with the new one.

The UK government is like: “submit ID first before you use iPhone”, like WTF? As apparently, they are considering on making that the default way to unlock a cellphone whilst spying on you (like they already are) keeping tabs on what apps you’re currently using, have downloaded or purchases made online.

Source?

Honestly I’m torn on the whole issue but also at the same time I haven’t once submitted verification ID so nothing has changed for me. Hopefully it stays that way…

and people using Sam from Death Stranding for face ID is just hilarious :D

I feel like mods are coming back around to the general public again but I don’t think it’ll go as far as to take over a whole platform. Not even close to that happening.

Also a lot of us didn’t stop with mods and community servers etc but with the rise of PC gaming over the past 10 years of whatever comes a whole group of people who don’t even know how to troubleshoot the basics let alone make games…

Too many to name as the 80s through to early 2000s was full of them. Star Wars on the original Gameboy comes to mind though.

It look much more interesting than I remember from the announcement trailers and hopefully it has a good narrative.

I tried out RetroAchievements last week while playing Pikmin and even though technically it works great it’s just not for me.

Lucy

She reaches 100% and kind of transcends but it’s a bullshit nothing ending… Good movie otherwise.

Achievements were an interesting idea but ultimately they are meaningless. Especially now that they are everywhere… Like big whoop I got an achievement on the Google Games app, GOG Galaxy and Steam…

As for console commands it would be nice but most gamers don’t know that they are doing and would probably ruin it for themselves somehow. Breaking saves files or getting stuck in a crash loop.

Halo comes to mind straight away. The way the enemies react, dodging out the way or charging towards you was something special. Also the music score and freedom it gives you in the semi-open levels to play differently.

I agree that “authentic” isn’t really the word for this. They seem fixated on the term when it’s really just non-traditional media/marketing but even that is nothing new nowadays.

I really hope there is an upgrade option or at least a heavy discount for us that already own the game. Otherwise I’ll just wait a year or whatever as I’m not buying it full price again.

That’s good to hear so I’ll make it my next watch.

What are your thoughts on it?

You could keep the chain going and pass it down to somebody else?
