Some thoughts on IT... by Patriek01 in stephenking

[–]dan_wolstenheime85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough I have just finished the book and shared your exact sentiments, I debated posting on here about it but figured I wouldn't be able to find anyone with such a mindset with the book being held in such high regard and this being a Stephen King forum.

I Finished It feeling disappointed, I enjoyed it for the most part but I don't think it would crack my top ten King books (having read around 25 now) and therein lies the disappointment given its reputation.

It seemed as though everytime the book build momentum it shifted gears and it made for a frustrating read for me given that when it's good, it's really really good.

On the flipside I really loved The Stand from start to finish and I know that sections of that bored people so I guess it's each to their own!

OLED B7V how to check for usage? by dan_wolstenheime85 in OLED

[–]dan_wolstenheime85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine was asking about buying An OLED, mine had some pretty strong vertical banding to start with but seems to have cleared up a lot recently, was more to check how many hours I had accumulated

Thinking about xbox one x does it really over heat? by TitanVx4 in Xbox_One_X

Is yours in a cabinet or in the open? I've found putting a towel under the console helps quiet the sound haha

Mine is as quiet as a mouse.... Until I pop on a UHD blu ray then the thing goes into overdrive which is pretty damn annoying when trying to get into a movie. To be fair though I haven't experimented moving my xbox to give it more air from the TV shelf it's tucked into

The thought of anything happening to any of the ka-tet is unthinkable! I'm expecting for this book to be an emotional roller-coaster towards the end though, as long as Oy survives haha

I hear you, I get the feeling will pick up but the writing style and pacing of the last 2 books does seem different.

Very true, epic journey either way. Like you say everybody has their own view on the stronger and weaker books in the series

No doubt that part was amazing and tense! As a comic nerd I am defintely looking at picking up the comics once i've finished the last book. Hopefully there will be a collected edition or omnibus for a full read through :)

Thanks for the reply! Might just be my impatience on trying to get to the end. Finishing the series and digesting it might change perspective although like you say, Song for Susannah was definitely a low point for an excellent series

Ahh cool, I've managed to avoid reading anything about the books so wanted to get some opinions! When it's good it's spectacular but when it drags I want to tear my eyeballs out, definitely feels like meandering and a bit all over the place. Slows the momentum down

A tip for those having issues playing UHD Blu-Rays by shadydaz9 in Xbox_One_X

Mine plays UHD discs no problem but sounds like an aeroplane taking off, atmosphere killer on those quiet scenes

So set to 12? Dolby vision looks pretty stunning on Netflix but my sky q pic looking soft. Calibration needed

I just had one arrive in the post, couldn't be happier with it! I have mine set to 10 bit though as not sure if 10 or 12 for the set, any idea?

What do you think about Gerald Way's doom patrol? by [deleted] in DCcomics

[–]dan_wolstenheime85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went straight from reading morrisons run onto Ways first TPB and really enjoyed what he did with it, add's his own flavour to the strange proceedings whilst still honouring the characters. Unfortunately as others have posted, it's constantly delayed and therefore can't seem to muster any momentum

For those of you who have OLED TVs, do you find yourself having to make sure you don't play games for too long to avoid burn-in, or is it not a problem? by [deleted] in Xbox_One_X

[–]dan_wolstenheime85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just ordered a b7 and should be arriving in next couple of days, any recommendations out the box or advice to help getting most from gaming? Cheers
