I'm not really an Oasis fan, but the vocals and guitars compliment each other so perfectly in this:

Open world. I think it's become a popular thing to hate recently, probably because of Ubisoft, but there aren't many things in games that appeal to me more than an open world to explore. Skill trees and shoehorned RPG elements too! I'm crap at games, so I enjoy brute forcing my way through them by grinding to unlock skills early on.

Once Upon a Time in America - 5/5. A masterpiece.

The combat is fantastic, much better than that of the Tales of games I've played. You're so agile that every battle is fun and makes you feel like a beast.

I'm hopeful that this will be good. I enjoyed Fable 2, but didn't play 3 because I heard it wasn't great.

My reasoning is that if they can't manage a simple remaster I'm not trusting them with a full remake. Plus the fact that they sent a broken game to launch annoys me.

I was going to buy 1 & 2, but they put me off with the shit job they made of the remaster.

I watched Blade Runner 2049 last night and I'm really not sure how to rate it. I thought it was a masterpiece until Harrison Ford came into it, and everything after that was a heap of shite. He wasn't even playing Deckard, he was just phoning it in, playing Harrison Ford in grumpy, casual clothes mode. So maybe 3.5/5.

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials - 4/5. The first film surprised me by how decent it was, and this one is even better. It's full of clichés and corny dialogue, but the story and setting are very interesting.

I tend to do this with RPGs - get to the last boss and stop playing. I just know there's going to be about five long battles in quick succession, followed by an hour of cutscenes.

I know open world games are a lot bigger now, but with GTA3 and Vice City I knew everywhere from memory just by exploring. Games now just overwhelm me when I open the map and see 200 points of interest to check off the list. It's also detrimental to the gaming experience - you end up playing a game through a tiny minimap.

Sad news about Grant Imahara, I enjoyed watching him on Mythbusters.

The one with the hair is a fucking arsehole. The bald one seems like a nice bloke.

What on god's earth are those?

I used to find the RGB lighting tacky, but the older I get the more I like it. As many lights as possible now.
