The off topic thread

IMO the greatest villain in all of cinema history.

Same for me.

Why is Vader fighting Pacman?

Why is Vader fighting Pacman?

To be fair I do like that they're trying to tie it to A New Hope with graphics and hair styles etc.

 

[jod23]

You said in cinema history.

Joker has appeared in film.

I guess. Either way, Vader has The Joker covered. Because really it's only Heath's version that stands alone. Jack's is a ham up and I hear Leto's version was average but im yet to see Suicide Squad.

What concerns me more is that Pacman seems to be holding his own.

Ordered a new PC yesterday. Set me back about $1400 but my current one is 5 years old and very slow. Pretty excited to get it.

My one is 2.5 years old, and even though I'm running pirated Windows, and I haven't formatted since I got it, still runs like a charm

I got 8 years out of my last iMac before it suffered a hardware failure.

 

[jod23]

Ive had my PC for what must be 5-6 years and it's on it's last legs. Slow at time, shits the bed often and a new thing it likes to do is randomly turn itself off. I hate it.

Am planning on buying a new one soon and can not wait!!

UnitedWarrior93 Did I see you'd played No Man's Sky?

Any good? It looked interesting, if not a little odd.

It's a very different game to what you'll have ever played before. There's no multiplayer or co-op, it's just you and the universe. I think there's something like 18 quintrillion planets, and everyone randomly starts somewhere and the likelihood of coming across someone else's home planet is very very slim. You can name everything (planets, plants, animals) etc. The planets are all different, some are hot, cold, toxic etc, some there's nothing to it and others you'll find blue sky's, waterfalls, green grass at things like that.

The game is huge, you get your own ship, you can fly around into outer space and see the planets and they're just massive. It can take you a few minutes of real time to travel to other places, however you are constantly upgrading parts for everything so the hyperdrive (which takes you to galactic speed) is useful and needed for the main objective which is to travel to the centre.

It's just a game of exploration, mining, crafting, if your into space stuff and exploration type games then you'll most likely like it, however if you're looking for a game where you fly around, shoot it up and were expecting online pvp then it'll disappoint.

It's not for everyone, IGN slammed it pretty much but in the official video game thread of no mans sky it's getting a lot of love, so many people enjoying it.

I'll second the enjoyment of it. It's a fun game that you can just relax and play. But definitely not for everyone.

To be honest, it sounds perfect for what I'm looking for. Haven't played a PS4 game in ages - bit over my usual sports games and other games annoy/confuse me with what I'm supposed to do. I always play single player and the thought of being able to just do my own thing at my own pace sounds great.

How big are each planets? Ie, how long would you normally spend searching each one?

Back in the land of Aus this morning and straight into work. Dead tired now but it was an amazing trip

Cliffs of what i have missed in the last 5 weeks?

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Spirit of Justice actually coming on the 8th of September as a download, so its a lot closer than I thought!

Don't think I can finish Radiant Dawn in time considering how busy things have gotten (Still need to finish Path of Radiance.)

• We dicked on Arsenal 4-3.
  
• Mane is probably the greatest signing of all time.
• We sucked at the Olympics.
• A new Star Wars trailer is out.
• Naitanui won a game off his own boot with 2 seconds left.
  
• West Coast will finish 7th and lose the Elimination Final away to the Dogs.

You're all caught up.

Oh and Jarrad Hayne is back if you're interested in grown men running into other grown men

Finally watched Suicide Squad last night.

Overall, pretty meh. Didn't like what they did with the Joker. Harley and Deadshot were both great. Hated the villain.

Also, where were Bats and Superman when all that shit was going down? Surely they could have helped out!

Haven't seen it but heard this point mentioned. Maybe doing bigger more dangerous stuff?

I know it doesn't really fit the narrative of what they wanted in this flick but it seems a valid point.

Cruyff14 have you checked out the series Slasher on Netflix? Closest thing to scream and I'm enjoying it thus far.

 

[moomba]

Bit scary.

Police are chasing a nonce who touched up two 6 year old girls at Legoland in Windsor last Thursday.

We were there on Thursday, at the playground where it happened shortly before it happened. Joked about not knowing where the kids (8 and 6) were as they were happy to be playing and they were doing our head in so we were happy for a break from them.

We all went on the rides for maybe an hour. Passed by on the way back and the playground was all closed down.

Can never be too careful I guess. Had to chat with my 8 year old about it tonight, which is something I'd prefer not to do at this stage.

Yeah watched one ep. I thought it was too graphic/messed up and it was kinda scary.

Bird at work told me who the Slasher is cos I knew I wasn't gonna watch the rest lol.

It had no likable characters (in the ep I watched), stupid writing and horrible decision making. Didn't rate it.

Ugh, that's shit. A conversation you should never have to have but unfortunately one that's needed.
