Oh god damn it, UK.... Honestly, now they deserve everything they get. Like, seriously. I can't believe this.

That's why I never even really liked RE2 as much as anyone else. It got praised so hard but I was always like "meh".

Well, RE3 *was* more action-oriented than previous titles of the franchise. For me it was pretty much the beginning of the downfall, because it was clear from then on it'll be more and more shooting stuff and less of what RE1 was.

The non-DC version gets added as well, which is good. I hated the DC. They changed the perspective and it felt so cramped and like I couldn't see anything anymore. Also I still remember how pissed I have been when they announced that more dialog got voiced. The money could have been spend on other areas in the game... instead they went with more voiced dialog, because - I guess - console peasants are too dumb to read or something.

First time I heard about that. Did a quick google search, clicked the first video, and... ok.

imo American politics is f'd either way. I have big doubts about it ever getting better again. Personally I just hope it'll get back to a point where I don't have to strongly fear it's negative influence on my country and / or the rest of Europe anymore.

I watched them, but then I realized that it might be a tad too many spoilers. Seems they really cranking up the hype machine now. Better not to watch any more trailers, imo.

In preparation of The Expanse s4 coming at the end of this week I've started watching the last 7 episodes of s3 again (so I can time it exactly with the start of s4 \o/ ). I kinda expected to doze off in-between, as I have seen s3 twice already, but to my surprise it still hooks me hard. It still excites me, even though I know exactly what happens. Guess this is a pretty clear indicator that The Expanse is - to me - the best show I've seen in years. There aren't many that I can easily rewatch and totally get into again like that. PS: I HATE weekly releases. It's a pain in the arse. Heck, I'd be fine with 1 episode each day, but waiting from week to week really pulls me out and annoys me more than anything else. This crap worked back in the days with monster-of-the-week episodes, but it fails hard with continuous storylines and cliffhanger-episodes. I still remember how much I was angry at Battlestar Galactica back in the days, because it was the first show I've experienced this with. You're really getting into that episode, it gets to the high-point and.... done. Please wait another week to continue. Then once you start the new episode, you're completely out of hype and everything feels mood. Rinse and repeat. Ugh.

It's the "monster of the week"-episode format. Generally not bad, but the story suffers from the little exposure of characters. Remember the first season only has 8 episodes and we are already in episode 5(!) and so far not much noticeable happened since ep2.

Yeh but america's "commie scare" will never make it possible. I mean, just read comments on... I don't know, youtube or whatever where american democrats are being called hardcore communists. It's funny and baffling and unbelievable dumb. And these people are everywhere, spewing their bs.

I don't like how every episode is barely 20 minutes long. It's just not enough time.

I thought MWO is the multiplayer.

lol @ the YT comments. It always baffles me how much america is in on the "there is only black or white"-shtick. Can't see any grey. Funny thing is, this is totally reflected in american RPGs. Stuff like Oblivion, Skyrim, Mass Effect, etc. all has nothing but black and white choices.

I'm not hyped for it at all. All I've seen of it so far was... mediocre at best, I guess. The missions looked boring and very same-y, I'm scared of the companion ai (bet it sucks), and yes, we have heard surprisingly little about the story, which makes me think it won't be good or interesting at all. It still looks interesting, but not 40 bucks interesting.

As far as I am aware, they did the same with the railway - underfund it till it breaks, then point fingers and say it ain't working, then sell it off to private companies. Same reason why german railway / transport system becomes more and more garbage. The government says folk should stop using private cars because the roads are full and global warming, and at the same time the public transportation costs are rising. Job well done I guess.

Did you not read the latest news? There are strong indications that the current political party in the UK wants to get rid of the NHS who control drug prices. This paves the road to a US-style pricing system, which means everything will spiral out of control and the folks in charge will make billions while everyone else gets f'd from behind. This is not a conspiracy, but a very real thing that could happen. Boris Johnson is pretty much the UK version of Trump and you can't trust a single word he says. At this point it's just a matter of time until everything goes down the ****ter for real.

Yeah. Sure. But things in the UK could change to the US model in the future, and that would suck pretty hard... because the US model is bull****. Doesn't matter if in Australia it rains from the ground, nobody should seriously want to adapt the US healthcare model.

I am able to make mods on pc. Can't do that on a console. That's also why I loath anything game streaming, because streaming automatically means you can't make mods for games, duh.

Love that video of 'em talking about Trump. I lol'd and it kinda makes them more sympathetic. Boris still sucks hard, though. It's weird seeing politicians gossip like that. Makes them almost look human.

Looks like Life is Strange 2 is finally out completely. Guess I could check it out then.

There's special buildings already on the map, which you deliver resouces to. Unlike bridges, etc. you can't place them down yourself. To be honest, I find this a tad annoying. But once you have a full highway, going around and delivering stuff becomes so much faster / easier ....

^ like as many player build structures as possible. The game "connects" you with these players, so the more likes you give, the more likely player structures will appear in your game. I've build about 3 or 4 road pieces only, but have an almost full highway available.

Somewhere in between I felt like watching the intro of a very cheesy 80s tv show.

Regarding driving on rocks: You can lift the front wheel when pulling back the left analog stick. This way you can get past lots of obstacles. Also the jump-button is useful (works even in the truck later).
