Lexx

Yes, it's not perfect, but I liked it quite a lot anyway. Somewhat reminded me a lot of the old Outer Limits, which I liked as well.

PS4 and Xbone only. :/ Well, but that was to be expected.

To me this always sounded a bit like Allahu Akbar. Not much difference, tbh.

I don't get why nobody seems to write about P.K. **** tv show Electric Dreams. I've just watched the first two episodes and it was really good. Shouldn't there be like... way more talk about it on the internet?

I hereby proclaim this to be the nation of Lexxonia, and you all offend me.

According to some folks, Germany is pretty much Africa now.

Reminds me of a few years ago when we had a wild brown bear on the lose. There was a huge media panic and they just couldn't find and catch the bear. There was lots of back and forth until the decision was made to shoot the bear. Suddenly - what a great coincidence - like an hour later, they were able to find and kill the bear. Made me so angry, someone pretty much just wanted to shoot a bear. It was impossible to prevent.

I've played Superhot VR and it's damn awesome. If you have the space for it, that is.. because you *need* to be able to walk around at least a little bit. If you can do that, it's a very unique gaming experience. I've also played Doom 3 in VR. This also works pretty good, but here you notice the lack of "weapon weight" a lot. You see this big weapon in front of you, but you just can't feel it. When I tried Half-Life², I had to stop after ~20 minutes, because it made me feel extremely sick. The whole character movement and speed just doesn't work in VR. The biggest problem with VR for me as of now is: 1. pixels - the resolution simply isn't there yet and 2. heat. I can't use the Oculus in summer, because the lenses are fogging up. There is no ventilation or anything, so it's pretty much unusable. Also they changed the warranty a while ago and added that damage due to sweat, etc. isn't covered anymore. Obviously they had a crapton of folks with this issue, which made me scared of using the headset too much (especially when it is fogging up). The price is too high to get your hardware destroyed because of this design flaw. /Edit: Other than that, it's worth it for Google VR alone already, imo. The graphic quality is.. well, not perfect, but it's still very impressive. Vienna, Tokyo, Vancouver, ... you can put yourself on the edge of a skyscraper, or become a peasant in the streets. Only thing that's missing are ambient graphics for cars and animals. /Edit2: At one point I was sitting down in the livingroom, sitting in the grand canyon while listening to music. Very chill.

Yeah, at least when it comes to face-tech, Japan is far behind.

So they switched the engine for Dishonored 2. It looks amazing now, but also I can't play the game in max graphic settings anymore.. wut. Had to tune it down to "high" for getting a steady framerate. That's like the first game I've played in years that does not run smooth when maxed out. Also it appears to be quite a tad harder than the first game. Guards seem to see me much quicker, and I find it harder to see objects in the environment, because of a lack of outlines. Kinda wish I had the outlines back. Like... When finishing a mission, I always see that I barely scrapped together the possible coins to find, huh. I just can't see them anymore. Same with the letters and books to read. There's so many of this stuff lying around everywhere and you can't interact with them, but then suddenly there *is* a letter you can interact with... but they all look the same. So basically the game is forcing me to look at anything everywhere, which can be a bit off putting at times.

Bizarre. Embarrassing. They certainly aren't the originators of the battle royale genre, and even if they were, the hosts of knockoffs of every new genre should serve enough of a reminder that you can't really protect gameplay mechanics. Unless Fortnite has been just straight ripping and re-using assets from PUBG, and it's my impression that they haven't, this is pretty much just bullying a competitor. Based on the article: "a new free-of-charge mode" ... so I guess it's because this one will be free and they fear of losing out money?

This change made me checkout some of the negative reviews for FNV. lel.

Just finished the second Dishonored DLC. It was nice, though I kinda liked the first one a tad more. Tomorrow I'll start with Dishonored 2, I guess.

In fact, it appears you are triggered. LMAO. :>

Huh, is it still $40? I could swear that I've seen it for $15. Haven't checked the Steam shop, though. /edit: Indeed. Found it, bought it, done. :> I have no idea about these bundle games. Just know that a dude I know got a ****ton of keys from this stuff. Don't know why people spend money on a pack of games where they never want just half of em.

So I just watched Wonder Woman and I think it was an ok movie. But seriously, Gal Gadot looks waaay too weak on the arms, imo.

Yeah, that trailer looks like the usual family evening adventure thingy to me. Maybe it's a little more violent or something, but other than that...

I feel really dirty for asking, but does anyone have a Dishonored 2 key flying around somewhere? :>

Funny, the villain and final encounter is usually what I find the most boring and annoying in ANY superhero movie. Seriously, of the top of my head right now, I don't remember any that I really liked. Especially if they go all out in super CGI that's usually when my brain shuts off and I could nick away. /Edit: Except the Nolan's Batman movies. I still like them the most.

Yeah, developers don't post on forums anymore, because anything they say, no matter what, will be picked up and turned into a twitter news story by some folks. People then either get overexcited, or it creates a huge negative backlash... Management usually doesn't want that to happen. Reminds me of the time where everything Notch said somewhere, it was turned into a pointless news article. Urg.

Is there no new Obsidian piece anymore?

Yeah, it was one of the movies that I could easily sit through from the beginning to the end. Really well done. Compare that to movies like Jupiter Ascending, where already 30 minutes in I kept wondering what the hell I'm even doing with my life. :>

Lawrence of Arabia has a really impressive visual quality as well. If not for the sound, it looks like a modern movie. I've looked it up a while ago, because I wanted to know how this was possible. Turns out, movies that had been recorded with analog technology can be remade in whatever resolution you'd like to (and them resized smaller to make them look sharp again), while that is impossible with digital movies (some data is always lost and increasing the resolution would lead to pixelation).

Alright, bought the DLCs.

Not sure about bloomy, but blurry is specific Dishonored's art style - apparently, the textures were designed to feel washed out and blurred into each other. Yeah, but it's not just that. The whole game just feels so... Unreal Engine. Despite this, though, the game is quite fun. Like a mix of Deus Ex and Thief. Should be done with the first game soon. Not sure if I'll pick up the DLCs as well or just head straight to the second game.
