Finally the game looks good. It always pissed me off how the game never looked like the promo screenshots that are shown everywhere. All I ever could see while playing was a crappy, blurry, brown pixel mess.

I thought Postal is one of the best Boll movies. Probably because it is like impossible to f up the story.

Reminds me of this: It's pretty good, imo.

I actually kinda liked Super Mario Bros. in its weird, trashy ways. Always wanted to see a followup movie. :> Resident Evil, though.... I just remember how this one movie ended with a million Milla clones, and then in the next movie they get rid of all of them within the first 5 minutes in a really crappy CGI way. To me, this defines exactly what these movies are. They just worked through a bunch of ideas, without knowing where to go with it in the end. :>

Well, as I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, I'm not exactly "hot" on it anyway. I'll watch it once the DVD / BluRay is out and then that's it. PS: lolno. From the trailer I'm taking it'll be a mediocre movie at best. As it'll feature Milla Jovovich, I'm going as far to say that it probably will be something like the Resident Evil movies, which are pretty much garbage as well.

Man, that last Star Wars movie was complete garbage, imo. I didn't liked The Force Awakens, because I found it extremely stupid to introduce yet another Death Star... oh wait, it's a Star Killer now... but heck, compared to The Last Jedi, this movie was actually good. The story now is complete BS with the rebel ship "flying away" and the big imperial ship nor any other of their ships being able to keep up, and their weapons do no damage on that distance, and the gambling planet thing, and how General Leia has her magic space moment (srsly, just either kill her off or have her get in safety before crap blows up). This "showdown" at the end was so bad, I was facepalming all the time. So many imperial walkers and fighters and they are unable to take down the rusty old rebel gliders(?) and how everyone just stands around, watching while important crap happens.... ugh, I can go on and on, it just pisses me off. I've never been a huge Star Wars fan, yet I still watched all of em movies at least once. With this one... I just couldn't stop facepalming. Well, now let's see if that Solo movie will be any good... /Edit: About Fury Road above. I loved that movie. Watched it couple times and it's great. It's feeling different than the original movies, but it's a fresh take that was needed, imo. Think about it, we also could have ended up with some sort of Indiana Jones Crystal Skull-esque movie instead. THIS would have been real crap.

Yeah. Kinda weird how burning grass couldn't entertain me for 15 hours straight.

I, too, reinstalled Far Cry 2. The intro is not that bad actually. Played for an hour or so and now I remember why I never finished it. Corridor-map, outposts everywhere, plenty boring fetch quest, etc.... No thanks.

My second SSD arrived today. Cloned my windows drive and now I have 130gb of free space on c:\ left to use. Yay. \o/ The days of space scrapping are over for now.

One of my new SSDs arrived yesterday. Took a couple hours to copy all the files over. My PC is so crazy silent now... I guess it really was about time to replace the HDD.

The world itself. There ain't much besides the jackal audio tapes and diamonds but the world is so well built that it makes you want to traverse and see every little hill, waterfall, hut etc. The emptiness gives you a sense of solitude that you don't get with other Far Cry games and it is also closer to 'reality' because there ain't much to do or see in a savanna except for the savanna itself. Such things never spark my interest. I need something to do in a game. Just getting on the top of a hill and then looking around in all the empty just isn't enough for me. Maybe it's because I'm doing too much world building, etc. by myself, so I'll see empty space for what it is, no matter the pretty graphics. There might be a nice view, but I'll turn around in 10 seconds anyway.

Game doesn't have to be an MMO to be a grind. What to explore? The stuff I remember from playing it is pretty much go from x to y, destroy outposts, get past checkpoints (with quickly respawning enemies) and collect whatever it was (money?) to unlock weapons.

Fire was a primary gameplay element in FC2 and it's super dry area, while it's apparently not in FC5. Makes sense that FC2 has a bigger focus on it. /Edit: maybe I should give FC2 another try. Never finished it because of the tedious grind. That video above makes it looks pretty cool, though.

Bought two new SSDs yesterday. One 250gb to replace my 120gb windows drive, and one 500gb to replace my 320gb secondary HDD. Should be enough for a while. Maybe I should have bought a 1TB drive right away but... ehhh, not sure and it did cost a lot more than just double.

Watched this X-Man Future past or something. Was better than I expected, but I had a hard time with liking the new cast. Felt like this movie only existed to introduce the new characters with the help of the old ones. Got that confirmed in the next movie, Apocalypse, where there had been only the new ones, with a couple seconds of Wolverine appearing. But.. wasn't this laboratory stuff already shown in a different movie? I have this uncanny feeling of having seen it already years ago, but in a sandy and not snowy landscape. Movie was ok too. Again, better than expected... but it took me a long time to remember who is who

And that tape wasn't even any good if I remember right.

Well, weapon gear is in, big vehicles are in, big explosions are in. Everything else in that video is highly scripted and probably wouldn't be fun for long.

Played some The Division again, just to see what has changed... It became really big. Lots of stuff added. Pretty hard to get back into it with my old character. Still plays pretty smooth though and does have its fun moments. In singleplayer it gets quite boring quickly, though.

Finished a replay of Dishonored 2 - Death of the Outsider. Was a lot faster this time, but still a good game. In the last two missions I just killed everyone. Should have done this way more often. Thinking about trying out Hunt: Showdown, but eh... I bet it's one of them games I will only play a couple hours and then never touch again.

I thought DoW2 was quite fun. Liked most of the campaigns, even if they were a tad simple. DoW3 sparked like no interest in me at all.

Logic tells me, payment upfront. Everything else would be kinda stupid, I'd say. I mean, you know how people are. Suddenly they start to bargain or don't want to pay up, etc.

Just noticed today that season 3 of Hap and Leonard already started. Yay. \o/ Just sucks that it's not fully out yet. I hate how they still have to keep up with this annoying one-episode-a-week thing.

It's pretty dangerous, actually. There's plenty lunatics on the internet, as probably everyone knows (or should know). Even if it doesn't have a direct effect on you, suddenly all your friends and family will be spammed with messages about crap.

So what you're saying is superman is a nazi, huh?
