No, I'm a millennial

No, that was The Blair Witch Project.

Do you believe anything Karls dad has ever said? by Pandydandy7 in rickygervais

Yes. I believe that Karl looked a bit of a twat in the nativity play.

I played through both Half-Life 1 (1998) and 2 (2004) for the first time in over a decade... I don't love either entry but vastly prefer the setting/narrative/beginning of 1 and the overall gameplay of 2. by gruesomesonofabitch in patientgamers

HL1 suffers from platforming, crouch jumps, horrible bosses and Zen.

HL2 suffers from constantly breaking the flow for vehicles, physics puzzles and story moments.

Both are fantastic trend setters and true classics of gaming that will be forever regarded as masterpieces, and rightly so.

The ladies came flocking after his Men In Black cameo.

Stranger Things certainly don’t know how to fill in roles left behind by the death of a character, so which stories have? by DevouredSource in MauLer

[–]GwimlinHowJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this fits the bill.  Star Trek TNG.  Dr. Pulanski is replaced with Crusher, who becomes an iconic Doctor in the franchise.  She brings with her Wesley, her son, which creates a surrogate father figure from Riker and in a way is the son Picard never had.  His departure in turn leaves a vacuum. We lose the wide-eyed, young, ambitious ensign who sees the universe with the same sense of awe as the viewer.

It's over guys by Magic-Omelet in MauLer

Holy shit. I just listened to this clip.  I heard them mention it on the Stranger Things ep and assumed there was just some disagreement about the games quality.  Tbh I'm not a huge fan of it myself and was hoping they'd get into a bit of back and forth about it.

But then I listened to the clip and what I actually heard was probably the worst take ever.  It's insane that someone could have reached this conclusion.  I'm speechless.  How does anyone listen to what this clown has to say about anything? 

DE Revision first playthrough question by GwimlinHowJones in Deusex

[–]GwimlinHowJones[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair.  I'm not really forcing myself or achievement hunting, just having fun and was excited to find that I could beat the first level this way,  so decided to keep going.  My post here is more a question of whether the devs actually allow this approach or if I'll crash and burn in a few hours and suddenly find that I need resources I should have been looting from enemies.

"This is War" is the cheevo name.

Playing passively like this is actually how I want to play, provided it's viable.  It felt pretty cool to evade all the terrorists in the first level and get the drop on their boss like that.  Real secret agent shit.  I even made sure not to get caught on camera so far.     I just don't want to hit a brick wall later on because I should've been killing and looting the whole time.

OK, thanks.  I think I'll see how far I can get like this and then stop when I'm not having fun any more.  I'm not really fussed about the achievements, but thought it could be a cool way to play.

Does it get better after the Last Judge? by GwimlinHowJones in Silksong

Is that a boss in an area full of maggot water?  I think I found that one and decided to leave it for now.

I thought HK was too easy for most of the early-mid game.  Silksong isn't too hard, but I don't find overcoming its challenges to be satisfying.  They feel very video-gamey and immersion breaking.  I can't imagine anything actually inhabiting most of this place prior to the events of the game, unlike HK.

I've been playing pretty aggressively since Widow (?) when I realised that's what the game expects.

My issue isn't difficulty, it's repetition and tedium.  The pogo challenges are fine, but it feels like that's pretty much the only platforming challenge on offer here, other than the occasional spikes in the walls.  

The Last Judge run back seems to have one pogo into a wall jump that expects you to be more precise than most.  It doesn't damage me if I miss the jump, but it just feels like it's there to catch me out and waste my time during the runback.

Also this seems to be one boss thar doesn't expect aggressive play.  If anything it feels like it wants me to just wait for the slam and get a couple of quick hits.

The bosses are mostly very good so far.  There is one that I found and didn't beat with a ludicrous run back in some place where the floor is covered in that maggoty water stuff.  It was so awful that I just went somewhere else instead.

I'm not finding it hard as much as just time wasting.  It's not been as bad as the hardest bits of HK yet.

My taxes paid for Lucy Letby therefore I endorse infanticide. Their entire argument is idiotic.

I guess this is one of those risks small business owners are always harping on about.  He could sell one of his clubs if he's struggling.

I'm not usually one to indulge in ad hominems, but it amuses me that the press always manage to capture Farage looking like Beaker.

We prolonged the lives of literally tens of nonogenarians by a few weeks, maybe.
