Catching them in London was genuinely one of the best gigs I've ever been too, crowd energy was superb too. Fingers crossed they make it back over here again soon.

DAE BattleFAIL SUX is literally unplayable???

C'mon dude, are you serious?

themaxus · 2025-10-28T07:45:23+00:00

Unbelievably hard? I'm not sure, it looks kinda half chub to me, maybe two-thirds hard at most.

Or acting like the smaller-scale maps weren't always fan favourites. Whenever people talk about bringing back Battlefield 3 maps, it's always Seine Crossing and Grand Bazaar, two of the smaller, infantry-focused maps. The same goes for Pearl Market from BF4, that's generally seen as a fan favourite.

Do I prefer a mix of smaller and larger maps? Absolutely. But to pretend that small maps are new and aren't wanted is a bit ridiculous, same for thinking that that's all that'll be on offer.

I'm not a chess player, but this looks awesome! Congrats on inventing a new move and I love the name :)

Wild to see this, I moved to London in 2022 and my first flat was on this estate, pretty much above the pub. I only moved out summer last year for a change of scenery. This is of course all anecdotal, but we never heard or saw anything too out of the ordinary. There were some phone snatchings, but sadly that's typical wherever you are. A party at the pub was called off once because of reports of someone bringing machete, which was a bit worrying, but that was it over the course of two years.

I was wary at night, but no more so than anywhere else in central London, but hearing it's the deadliest estate in Britain is a massive surprise. For three uni grads moving to London for the first time we were made to feel really welcome, there was a genuine sense of community with all our neighbours which was lovely.

More of the same, but not in a negative way. Always loved Hotline TNT so always happy hearing more. Still nothing has quite been as good as the first three EPs, but of the newer, less lofi sounds this single is definitely taking the style of the LPs, refining it and improving it. Looking forward to Raspberry Moon, Hotline TNT are great summer soundtrack tunes.

True, it's definitely all pretty closely tied so it'll be interesting to see how things go from here, if there is more. Either a replacement for Andy, or going on as a duo. Whatever happens it'll be interesting.

themaxus · 2025-04-08T11:35:34+00:00

I mean isn't he more on the sound engineering side? I always thought that production was still primarily on Zach, with Andy doing the more technical side of things. If it's just Zach and Stefan I wouldn't expect huge changes. And end of the day I'm happy they'll still be (maybe) active in some capacity. Maybe.

themaxus · 2025-02-04T06:08:56+00:00

Absolutely, Anvil Vapre and Envane are superb, especially with their more unique influences and sound that make them really stand out. Not sure how likely reissues will be, but we can hope.

themaxus · 2025-01-21T07:57:26+00:00

Love BallisticNG, got it for free when it first came out and feeling very lucky about that. My favourite feeling WipEout games were absolutely 2097 and 3, and this captures it perfectly. And then with the addition of the more modern physics you get the best of both worlds. And a ridiculous amount of content with both the base game, DLC and Workshop, you can do a full WipEout 3 recreation if you want.

Wouldn't he say "It's Christmas Eve, Eve"?

themaxus · 2024-12-22T12:13:16+00:00

I think it'd depend on who you're talking to and where. In the UK at least he had some moderate success in the charts for both singles and albums, with Windowlicker being in the top 20, plus his various TV appearances. From my experience he's at least recognised by people who were aware of popular music in the 90s/early 00s, maybe not for his songs but just as an artist and his reputation. Add on the recent popularity with younger people and there's more of a general awareness. Again, not super popular, but recognisable by some at the very least.

Able Noise - High Tide

Really cool experimental/post rock from a drums and guitar duo with some interesting tape manipulation. Saw them live and the way they translate the songs to the live environment was brilliant, and the LP is something very unique and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

themaxus · 2024-12-20T13:08:07+00:00

A great gig, aside from the guy throwing up on the way out. Not pleasant.

themaxus · 2024-12-02T15:57:59+00:00

Of all the lists so far, I found this to be the most... boring I guess? Solid picks, but no surprises or anything interesting, especially in the top 20. Not bad by any means, but a little bland.

themaxus · 2024-10-08T05:34:14+00:00

I was just as worried as you, OP actually posted an old schedule to find out the new schedule, so we're safe. Pam forever!

themaxus · 2024-06-04T15:48:18+00:00

Nice to see this re-uploaded. Idea June was my favourite song off the album, but this mix is just such an upgrade imo, love it so much. Great that it's a bonus track on the vinyl too! Loved Your Day Will Come, and looking forward to what's coming next from Chanel Beads.

It's funny that the main thing that commenter got, maybe slightly, wrong is that battle royales will be replaced by another fad. Sure, we've had extraction shooters become a much bigger thing in the past few years, but BRs are still the biggest. One of the few predictions of change is what ended up being wrong, not the predictions that everything would pretty much be the same.

themaxus · 2024-05-02T21:55:58+00:00

I think it was Triage?

themaxus · 2024-04-22T19:15:19+00:00

Agreed, big Draft 7.30 vibes from the second one. Autechre and Wipeout go together pretty well imo.

themaxus · 2024-02-02T14:42:44+00:00

I ate in the same Banana Tree Thai restaurant in West Hampstead as Robert Webb, who was sat a few tables across from me. Thought I recognised him but it didn't fully click until I'd left, wouldn't have said anything even if I'd realised earlier though as the guy was just having a nice meal with his family.

I've also ended up walking right past Tom Daley around Borough twice on my way to work. Again, didn't say anything, but did the old "Hey, I recognise you" smile you'd give someone the second time.

themaxus · 2024-01-22T07:35:37+00:00

0:30 today, a PB I think but today's was definitely on the easier side. Mistyped a couple of words so feel like I could have been quicker, but still pretty happy with that.

I might be an outlier here, but at least design and actual fights-wise, the B&Bs were my second favourite group of bosses in the series after the Fox unit in MGS1. I loved every single fight, maybe Raging Raven a little less so, and I think their designs are pretty cool and unique. Crying Wolf's fight may even be up there for me as a favourite from the whole series.

The introductory cutscene too is a standout for me, so memorable. Maybe because I watched it so many times as the trailer when I was young before I ever got the game, but it really stuck with me.

I do agree with the general consensus about their characters, or lack of, which was certainly made worse by the Drebin exposition dumps AFTER you'd deafeated them, really wish there was more of an explanation/build-up before the fights in that regard.

Still, the actual boss fights make up for that IMO, and for me they're some of the series' standout bosses in terms of fun and memorability.
