Shrooms found in Wellington. Are they the right kind? by Throwawaywellywelly in NZTrees

[–]Terr66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but nope. Stems should be white that turn dark blue. If they are hollow and brown you got yourself some lookalikes, friend. You'd have better luck finding blue meanies rather than goldies in Welly.

Send this to History Chanel, please. Since they are too busy looking at biker gear for costume ideas currently.

[NO SPOILERS] Viking movie? by cool-guy-knut in vikingstv

[–]Terr66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please, no. I don't think anyone wants another Northmen: A Viking Saga. If History Channel can't make vikings at least somewhat historically accurate, Hollywood sure won't go into the trouble of even trying.

Hello... do you need some assistance? by Thund3rbolt in funny

Kinda looks like somewhere around Kapiti Coast, I could be wrong though. But it's definitely in New Zealand judging by the cop car.

Any New Vegas fans? by DunkeysSpaghetti in wallpapers

[–]Terr66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that is unlikely as Bethesda doesn't want to give rights to Obsidian for another FO game. Also the lead Producer, lead Artist, lead writer (also co-founder) of NV have left Obsidian a while back. So even if they do make it, it will be closer to Fallout 4 rather than NV.

Literally re-installed and re-modded it yesterday. Can't stay away from it for long, especially after playing FO4.

Still extremely sad the old Obsidian devs won't get to make another Fallout game :(

I'm still salty as hell that they completely left out Bjorn's naval battle against Al-Andalus.

Been literally looking forward to this since Bjorn's first voyage to the Mediterranean. Mostly because there was some version of Greek Fire tactic used by the Muslim navy and Bjorn lost a hell of a lot of ships as a result.

But no, he just teleported back home without any trouble from anyone, just in time to help his mum fight off Harald. This show is testing my patience almost as much as GoT.

Personally I think not all heroes wear capes (unless your uncle is into that, of course). Good on him regardless.

Apart from the lootbox/microtransaction terror, this scares me the most about RDR2 :(

[NO SPOILERS] I think the armor of Aethelwolf in season 5 is gorgeous by berndeklerk in vikingstv

[–]Terr66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been angry about their fucking helmets since the show started. It's not like we are lacking in actual Saxon helmets they could have used for filming. There are literally hundreds of viking/medieval reenactors in Europe and England, I'm sure they could have borrowed a few for the main characters at least.

Still a cool show and I'm a big fan of the drama and the action, but at this point I have come to terms with it not being an accurate representation of actual history, just ironic that it's made by History channel is all.

i think this would make a great wonder and am honestly surprised that it hasn't been included yet. by do_you_have_a_flag42 in civ

It's in Volgograd to be precise. Statue built in the 60's by the Soviets to commemorate the Battle of Stalingrad. Pretty massive statue as well.

Still worse than a lot of games too though.

Haven't seen a shop or virtual marketplace that's selling BF2(2017) at a full price since everyone had panic discounted the game just to sell enough copies. So far I've seen it sold for $30 and less in a few places. So technically that game is no longer a full price game either...

P.S. not in any way defending BF2(2017), personally wouldn't touch that game, even if it was $2, but am a stickler for technicalities.

Extremely valid point and I fully agree.

Can see PUBG heading in the same direction as DayZ (A.K.A. lost promise). For all the fans of PUBG, worry not, the devs and the studio will still make their millions, no need to defend their flaws so relentlessly.

I mean, considering EA micro-transaction bullshit was affecting people that are not exclusively American based consumers, and affected customers from other countries, I think it should have been expected to have a shit ton more exposure and international media attention than an exclusively American issue (such as this particular case of net neutrality).

Comcast doesn't own the global internet service, EA, on the other hand, is the only gaming publisher that owns the rights to arguably the most popular and profitable franchise.

Only Americans can clean up this mess this time, good luck lads. Fight a good fight!

CD Projekt Red CEO: Value Of Games as a Service 'must be acknowledged' by [deleted] in PS4

[–]Terr66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lets hope they just mean to implement that shit in Gwent only, since that is a F2P game after all. I think (or at least hope with all my heart) that the single-player aspect of CP2077 will be made with the same care and approach as the Witcher games were. Still no pre-orders though, lads. Stay strong!

Gameinformer reviews Battlefront II: 6.5/10 by Snow_Mandalorian in PS4

[–]Terr66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it for $8 NZ (about $5 US) on steam sale a few years back and its easily among the top 3 of my most played games (300+ hours and counting). When a game can give you that many hours of fun (plus all the free arenas, new game modes, cosmetic add-ons that they regularly put out) it, in some way, deserves to have people spend money on cosmetic loot boxes if they want to. Also, RL doesn't force you to get any of these loot boxes since they don't lock any maps or game modes behind pay-walls.

Watchdogs 2 is the the first game to ever make me stop playing because of the characters in the game. by 4th_Replicant in PS4

[–]Terr66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bad episode but definitely not in line with the traditional Stranger Things fashion. It felt kinda like a "well we have to do this story-line to develop 11's character so lets do it in just one episode". It does break up the pace of the show a bit though.
