I asked a seven-year-old girl why he’s in the toilet. The answer - he fell in. You’re welcome.






I put so many hours into this game without the map, before realising you are supposed to have a paper map. It was a bit impossible without the map. I really liked it, but it could have been a lot better.



I’m going to keep spelling it Chernobyl, I don’t much go in for the “Chicken Kyiv” school of performative spelling.



I don’t know, I will never use it but it’s quite cool that this much money is being poured into VR development. I prefer to think of it as the money being spent rather than hoarded, and I’m definitely fine with that.






CHASE ME CHASE ME
LIKE A SISSY GIRL

The dialogue was a bit crap, that’s all I remember about this game.



Shadow Man. It was definitely shit, but I played it for so many hours. The mood and the scale of it was incredible, but the controls and gameplay were sorely lacking. Even so, I found it incredibly immersive.

edit: they’re the one that keeps saying it, Jesus.


I can’t find a way to successfully play it that maintains enough realism to be properly satisfying.

The controls are awkwardly difficult in a way I can’t properly explain, I’m finding it interferes with the immersion a bit. Particularly the aiming system and the fact a headshot doesn’t kill unarmoured human characters in the early game. Also there’s a lot of running from point A to point B and back again.

Even so, I think I probably like it. I’m just finding that frustrating in a way that isn’t particularly fun. You’ll get a bunch of people online saying the difficulty is somehow meant to reflect the mood of the game, personally I don’t think that makes much sense.


I’ve heard of it, thanks for the recommendation. I’ll put in on the wishlist. Struggling through STALKER at the moment - can’t decide if I like it or not.




Just played System Shock 2, it was pretty good.

Who can recommend me some similarly good games, similarly able to run on a bog-standard laptop? I’ve no interest in buying a gaming PC or any of that stuff, you never needed one to play Theme Hospital or whatever.

I know I’m asking for 3D games but you know what I mean. I just want to fuck around on the laptop I use for work, not drop a grand on hardware just to game for a few hours.

Edit: going to try Far Cry (the original).


It’s probably an interesting story, it’s just funny what they bother making films about sometimes. Like that McDonald’s film.


They made a film about Tetris, that’s bizarre.
