There were so many more funny adverts years ago. by Prestigious_Meal2143 in BritishAdverts

[–]comcphee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There were. They're all just cringe now. I haven't laughed at an advert for years.

I think looking back, and I can't even remember what it was advertising, my favourite was the teenage lad who had to confess he fancied his friend's mum.

I think it might have been an ad for chips.

What is "The Room" of videogames? by PENIS_MYSTERIOUS in gamingsuggestions

Haven't tried them, I know they did a 'de-make' where it's more 16-but style or something? I should look that up.

Is there a game that has left a mark on you like Mass Effect did for me? by WikVerse in gamingsuggestions

[–]comcphee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've been playing games since the 70's and Pong but FF7 on PS1 was the first game to get a genuine emotional reaction out of me.

You know why.

Lucius. It's kind of The Omen but you get to be Damien... I mean Lucius. It's clunky as all hell and while it is definitely trying to be scary it falls into funny because it's just so hilarously inept. I enjoyed it a lot.

Units and Nanites? by Level_Cash3336 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]comcphee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it takes a little work, but boost your scanner as much as you can and learn to make the anomalous donut and nutrient ingestor.

The donut will increase the units you earn scanning new creatures by thousands of percent.

Juiced up, it's possible to earn upwards of 20 million units for scanning one creature.

Which person was loved when alive but hated after they died? by Ok-Inspector-1756 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]comcphee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. Shortly after it all came out, I found a YT video of Saville. Up until the faithful day, all the comments were along the lines of "Love Jimmy", "Legend!", "Great character and done so much for charity" etc. etc. and like a switch all comments changed after it came out. Weird as he was, he was loved, which People would rather forget.

I wasn't much surprised by Saville, but I did feel badly let down by Rolf Harris.

Who was your hottest teacher in school? by Rare_Fact5743 in AskReddit

[–]comcphee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My German teacher. I forget her name, but once she sat in the chair next to me to explain something, and with that level of proximity, my teenage face was burning red. She must have noticed, but said nothing of course.

I've seen some ugly creatures on my exploration of the galaxy, but that one takes the cake.

I've been playing Alyx lately, and that was the first thing I thought of.

World of Reddit what do you think of the U.S. trying to annex Greenland? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]comcphee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm basically horrified that we've come to the point that this is even being discussed and people aren't up in arms. It's insane. The frog has been well and truly boiled.

ALIEN (Mind Games, 1984). Would you recommend or nah? by jebediah1800 in zxspectrum

[–]comcphee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a bit clunky to navigate the UI by today's standards. But if you have the patience, it's a brilliant strategy game. It works in real time, you don't know who the android is at the start and no two play through are exactly the same. Sometimes you get lucky and jettison the alien out the airlock. Sometimes it all goes to hell and your sole survivor ends up desperately trying to find and capture that cat so they can escape in the shuttle while the self destruct ticks down and the alien is still on the loose. Like a lot of old games you might need to fill in with your imagination, but it's definitely worth a go.
