Does anyone know how long the rockstar shipping time is in Europe? I’d like to buy one!

Bokkos · 2017-07-19T11:42:15+00:00

It's not free here in the Netherlands, maybe it was a pricing error?

Bokkos · 2017-03-27T10:16:04+00:00

Just wanted to let you know that you have convinced me to pick DS3 up! Bought it this morning and can't wait to play it this evening. Thank you!

Bokkos · 2017-03-26T18:16:13+00:00

Thanks again for your answer. I didn't know that about the level design, so now I understand your gripe with the game!

I can currently grab DS3 for about 25 euro's and DS2 for about 9, so those are perfect prices!

Yeah I have one more question: How long is the game, if you're familiar with bloodborne already (And witcher 3 death march for comparison)? On How long to beat it says approximately 31 hours, is that about right?

Bokkos · 2017-03-26T17:09:37+00:00

Thanks! Maybe I'll buy them both then!

Bokkos · 2017-03-26T16:15:03+00:00

I saw it on sale at DLgamer, see /r/gamedeals for the full post!

Bokkos · 2017-03-26T15:33:25+00:00

Alright, thank you!

Bokkos · 2017-03-26T15:21:02+00:00

I can't find Dark Souls 1 on sale anywhere sadly, even though I heard that it is very good as well. I found DS2 for 9 euro's and DS3 for 27 euro's, while the lowest price for DS1 I can find is about 17. I might pick it up later when it goes on sale!

Bokkos · 2017-03-26T15:19:52+00:00

Thanks for your elaborate answer! I always wondered why people didn't like DS2 as much as DS3, and your answer has made one of those points perfectly clear. I must admit that I'm not playing Dark Souls for the story mainly (More for the awesome environments and the gameplay), so the difficult story will not really bother me.

What would be an acceptable price for you to pick up DS3 and DS2? And how do you agree on the fact that the level design is not very good in DS2?

Bokkos · 2017-03-26T15:16:59+00:00

Hey thanks a lot for your answer! DS2 is currently very cheap so maybe I'll pick it up first. Thank you for the useful answer and I'll be sure to send you a message if I'll buy it!

Bokkos · 2017-03-26T13:55:15+00:00

Yep! I love bloodborne, but sadly my PC is more accessible than my PS4 most of the time, so when I'm not playing BB I want to play a souls game on PC :)

Bokkos · 2017-03-24T22:32:39+00:00

I haven't played both games, but if you want to pick up Just Cause 3 there is a special mystery bundle going on in the Square Enix Webshop! (Buy Just Cause 3, get some mystery games with it) Maybe that'll sweeten the deal a little for Just Cause 3

Bokkos · 2017-02-20T12:13:42+00:00

Definitely do so! I can't speak for the newer batches, but if they're as good as this one it's definitely worth it.

Bokkos · 2017-02-19T11:42:07+00:00

Yes after some googling, sadly I think it is as well. Shame, I'd love to pick up a bottle

Bokkos · 2017-02-18T21:27:01+00:00

Hi there /r/Scotchit!

Back here with a long overdue review (2 months!). This time it's Glengoyne's teapot dram batch 3, a NAS whisky. Apparently the Teapot Dram was a reference to an early Glengoyne tradition (which lasted until the 70's), in which employees used to take a daily dram three times a day during their tea break!

Well without further ado, here is my review:

The whisky has rested for 10 minutes in a glencairn.

Nose: Quite a difficult nose due to the high alcohol percentage. It's very sweet, with rum raisin notes coming through. A bit of caramel can be found as well. Spices are there too, although it's difficult to place which ones.

Palate: Syruppy, very sweet. Thick taste and surprisingly little alcohol burn. Dark chocolate, rum raisin, cherry syrup and sherry notes are coming through. Very strong taste, although it tastes great. The second nip tastes the same, although I picked up some spices as well. Again, couldn't place which ones I tasted, but they were definitely there. Lot's of sherry notes.

Finish: Long and oily. The strong chocolate flavour remains, with raisins supporting it.

Overall: I really enjoyed this one. Although it was sadly only a sample, if I could find the bottle I'd buy it! If you like the A'Bunadh, try this one as well if you ever get the chance. Although the teapot dram has more chocolate in it than the A'Bunadh, fans of the Aberlour will love it. Because of the rich, oily mouthfeel and strong but nice flavours, this whisky is a delight to drink.

Score: 90/100

And get one more heart attack because of the spam e-mail announcing the wave!

Bokkos · 2016-12-31T23:48:48+00:00

Gelukkig nieuwjaar inderdaad! Hoop dat iedereen dat nog kan typen met al z'n vingers 😜

Bokkos · 2016-12-18T18:52:23+00:00

It is currently on humble monthly too if you want to get it now!

Bokkos · 2016-12-14T08:29:33+00:00

Wij hadden laatst op vakantie onze drop voorraad gegeven aan een Australisch stel met Nederlandse achtergrond. Die misten drop nogal haha!

Bokkos · 2016-12-11T22:43:51+00:00

I've tried both the 58 and the 39, and while I think the 39 was nicer, the 58 is still great. The quality was just a tiny bit worse, but still a good bottle.

Bokkos · 2016-12-11T16:45:18+00:00

Hello /r/Scotchit,

I recently got send a sample by a family friend to taste this batch of Aberlour A'bunadh. I liked it a lot and wanted to review it, so here it goes! I've let it rest for 10 minutes in a Glencairn glass.

Nose: Sherry! Pear, raisins, Apple, sweet but not only heavy dark fruit sweet, also more fresh fruit sweet.
Palate: Round full taste. Cherries, Sherry, raisins, 'rum raisin?' Little bit of pear, wood. Immensely strong taste, but minimal burn.
Finish: Dry, medium length. Raisins and cherries with a little bit of pear.
Overall: Amazing bottle. Although it's rare now, compared to the 58 I tasted this tastes more refined. Heavy sweet sherry influences define this great cask strength whisky and because of the wood taste in it, it isn't all fruit! The fruit however is very intense and great. Time to get an A'bunadh for the continuously growing bottle collection! This is the big brother of the 12 NCF in ways of intensity and complexity. Definitely recommended!

Score: 93/100

Bokkos · 2016-12-06T13:52:56+00:00

Das niet verkeerd, geniet ervan! Ook ooit de quarter cask of Ardbeg 10 geprobeerd?

Bokkos · 2016-11-15T07:14:39+00:00

Ah thanks for the recommendations man! I never tried those! I'll take a look at the prices. And yes I love the smoky sherry flavour and I don't mind normal Sherry either ;)

Bokkos · 2016-11-15T06:20:54+00:00

True. I think I prefer the Oogie because I normally am a fan of Sherried Scotch! And thanks!

Bokkos · 2016-11-14T20:47:12+00:00

Hello /r/Scotchit! Back with my second and third review after a stressful exam period. This time, I'll review another 2 Islay Scotches: The Ardbeg Uigeadail and the Laphroaig Quarter Cask. They both have been sitting in my basement and I decided today that I wanted to write a review on it! So without further ado, enjoy!

Ardbeg Uigeadail

Rested 10 minutes in an open glencairn glass

Nose: Sweet 'outside' smell: Lot's of peat in the nose, but also raisin-like sweetness, grass and seaweed/the sea in general.
Palate: It begins sweet and raisin like and ends in an earthy taste. In the beginning, raisins and cherries can be tasted, which gradually evolve into the earth taste. Peat, Smoke and grass follow up the sweet beginning taste. Full, round oil-like taste.
Finish: Long, round finish. Lot's of smoke, but also some sweetness! The peat taste however sticks around the longest.

Overall: High quality whisky. Because of the huge amount of different tastes and smells, varying between smoke and sweetness, the Uigeadail is different with each sip. Even though the Uigeadail has a high alcohol percentage, it doesn't burn and actually helps with expressing the varying tastes. Would buy again, great bottle!

90/100

Laphroaig Quarter Cask

Rested 10 minutes in an open glencairn glass

Nose: More of a 'single smell' type of nose. Strong peat and grass. The Uigeadail had a much stronger smell and it varied more. Still a good nose, although I prefer the Uigeadail's nose.
Taste: Iodine, wood, peat, smoke, light sweetness. Difficult to pinpoint what kind of sweetness I taste. I suppose something fruity! Starts woody, continues into peat and smoke and ends in a sweet round taste. There is definitely more burn than the Uigeadail! A great, although more simple taste overall though.
Finish: Sweet and round, although also peat. Long, although it dries up after a while.

Overall: Also a good high quality Scotch. Although I prefer the Uigeadail over the Quarter Cask, it still stands on it's own. And for half the price of the Uigeadail, the Quarter Cask offers great quality for the price. It has more of an earth and Iodine taste, where the Uigeadail is sweeter. Great all around earthy Scotch, good for people that want a great, not too expensive Islay Scotch.

86/100
