Luseth

Hi @WelchyTV that's how I found this place a year or so back, for some reason I have stuck around! Anyway welcome aboard, single player games are generally the sort I enjoy most, anything with a good story typically, spotting you mentioned Fifa, we do have pro clubs nights on a Monday if you are ever about and fancy joining!

haha! I print them off to check before I issue anything, it is incredibly easy to miss stuff on a screen. We seem to be one of few offices still with drawing boards ^_^ We do have one CAD tech though who has issued blank pdf files before now 😂

Last night in game chat I said it was Unreal Tournament 2004, thinking about it after it may well have been Turok on the gamecube. My brother got it for christmas and I'm fairly sure we used to play that together but I can't really remember it. So UT2004 would be the first one I properly got into, we used to have a few custom servers so one where we would fight waves of enemies that got tougher and tougher till you died but we gained xp to buy and upgrade weapons after each round.

I don't think the gloves matter, I did find the infantry vest worth having as you run ever so slightly quicker but I have changed to engineer's now so I get an extra tactical grenade, covert sneakers and ghost are a must and then I use smoke grenades, if you are playing a point based game mode you can smoke up points and run in slashing ^_^

I won't lie I am having immense fun knifeing people 😄 I have started to use one of the new guns (Holger) which is also pretty good. I'm torn at the moment, if I start using the gun more my K/D will increase, I think I am sitting around 1.1 at the moment which is 0.4 off the last game. Running round with the knife is holding me back in that sense but on the flipside I have probably picked up the most kill confirmed tags than anyone in the world the past week because I can't avoid them after stabbing someone in the back 😄 There is also quite a funny animation sometimes when you knife, it sort of just jabs the knife out into the player and honestly it is the most pathetic way to die, it looks like someone getting stabbed by a butter knife from my view 😂Couple that with the enemy trying to do it, that's when I know I have won because they are blatantly raging and wanting to get their own back 🤣

I will take number 11 if it's free ^_^ I think I left 9 on as it was the default on the last game and Lee made a comment so I kept it 😄 I prefer attacking positions as you all know 😄 ST, CAM and RW I am just @JamaicanSteve when he is away but yeah I haven't played too badly at CB as well in the past so that will be my go to position when playing further back , I'm not so keen on CDM so will probably leave that for others.

So I wasn't a fan at first but last night I had immense fun running around once I had the sneakers, couple that with ghost as you say and I feel that's a must. That then led onto me finding that running around with just a knife could be incredibly fun, people aren't paying enough attention to what they can see and I ended up the evening with the Knife as my third most kills for a weapon only about 15 from my second weapon 😄 I saved a fair few clips, some of me looking incredible, others of me flailing about while someone just steps back and shoots me in the face! 😅

I have moved to the ROG ally and haven't really looked back. The OLED screen is obviously a nice to have and I think the biggest thing for me on this release is the improvement in battery life, I think this is where all these devices need to work on for the moment and obviously Valve have made a positive step in that regard.

Just wanted to say I enjoyed this last night, the story was good fun. I think @Middle Class Caveman deserves to be applauded as he was a great DM, he also could have wiped us out a few times and I think he held back, which with the stick some of us give him sometimes I am sure he was very tempted to stomp us into the ground! 😄 Special mention to @Lurchzy for holding our combat back with his fine choice of spellcasting, I am still not convinced he wasn't on the dark lord's side 😛 @Greboth should have stuck to healing himself in the last fight for all the use James was! 😄 And thank you @TheMuggySpud for his heavy damage dealing and head lopping skills whilst also carrying around a small child! I'm also going to praise myself for telling C'thune the truth while Cal was dealing with his little one before he had chance to run at him with a battle axe 🤣 Cheers guys!

I am happy with Mafia II, that could well be another platinum trophy for me (I did the remaster of the first game not all that long ago I don't think).

I have read that it is basically Avatar Cry but with some cool added elements like the flying and such. I think it is going to be one of those games that does ok but will be heavily riding on the people playing it being into Avatar in the first place and would appreciate exploring the world and such.

I think as James say's it risks excluding a couple of people. Very much depends on who could attend I suppose. I like the idea of being DM but I think we all need to know what we are doing so maybe I'll give it a go after a couple of these shorter games? Elliott is very good at it seems so I think any of us would be struggling to achieve his level of dungeon masteryness.

So the second part is to be played this coming Sunday 🙂 I am quite looking forward to dying.... On a serious note I did enjoy the first part though I think we were very much finding our feet. I don't know about the other guy's but it definately stoked my interest and I like the idea of having a regular group playing (how that pans out with home life though is probably the issue). My wife has also shown interest and it has led us onto a new hobby in which we have been creating, buying and painting various models such as D&D and warhammer. My wife is definately better at painting than I am but I have done 1 or 2 and have a set still to build and paint. But yeah I am quite looking forward to this Sunday ^_^ If it goes well I'd definately be up for future sessions, maybe even doing them in person as well seeing as a few of us don't live all that far apart. We just need to convince Elliot to carry on being DM or see if any of us would be willing to give it a go! Also I have 4 sets of D&D dice already, I feel like that is a bit of a rabbit hole if I'm being honest....

I kept meaning to listening to this and have never gotten round to it, I can tell you now I have the first episode (about origins game fair 2022) playing on my headphones while I work ^_^

We had a go the other day and played some co-op, what was great which might interest anyone with younger children. My wife and I was playing but we added my daughter in as a 3rd player, being only 4 she didn't really know what she was doing but we could take most of it at our own pace so we could slow down enough so she could at least see which way she was walking / running. It was great fun!

I am playing through at the moment, I am not quite so gripped as the previous 2 games, I do think it looks incredible mind and really does look next gen. Combat is still similar with a few new gadgets and such and they have obviously branched out with the skills trees and such. Story seem's good so far, I am only really getting going with it I think so still discovering who the villain is and what they are up to type of thing. I did come across a bug last night which led to me turning the game off, one npc got stuck the wrong side of a wall and I have no idea how but it meant I could not progress the mission, I imagine I'll jump on again last night and go back to the autosave point. As far as the 2 spidermen go, so far I am much more enjoying Miles arc, his abilities are much more fun to play with and I think his story arc is more interesting as so far he has more of a personal stake in it. I imagine I will go for the platinum on this as well but I am flitting between this and Baldurs Gate 3 at the moment, 2 different but rather large games ^_^ So imagine it will take me a while to get the plat.

Sorry I missed the map, how did you go about making this? Do you draw anyway? (It's really quite cool 🙂 )

I have done in the past, I used to be quite a big fan of fantasy novels and such, I have quite a few series of books and though we are trying to get rid of stuff out of the house I can't bare to part with them ^_^ That enjoyment of them has led me to writing up ideas if you like for my own fantasy novels, that has included world building, character creation and such. It tend's to be that when I write (or type) something the words tend to flow, even now when I type this I don't really know what I am going to write until I do it! But yeah it was always the way when I used to write in that I never sat down and came up with ideas in the sense, ah I want 7 houses and they are at war and there are these alliances, I would write like I was following a group i.e. akin to the lord of the rings stories or the Eragon books so I would be creating and experiencing the adventure / world as a someone wholly new to it would experience it. Whether that translates to good creative writing or not I have no idea! I think my issue with keeping it going and actually creating a full length novel has always been time and that has only become much more reduced with little un's. It is one of those things I have always wanted to do is release a novel, I know Elliot's book is an entirely different category but I do have some respect to him for making it happen. I have never really had the confidence to go out and explore how to make something like that happen. That said James, if you are starting to get into it now, I know DnD dungeon masters benefit from creative writing in that being able to come up with their own scenarios and such, hint hint 😉

My missus offered to order this last night after I showed it her, assuming she was serious about it I will be reminding her this evening and ordering it ^_^ It looks like something we could play together but the kids might also enjoy something so colourful on screen ^_^ Some of the clips I have seen of it suggest it looks quite good 🙂

We retired his shirt for a reason..... We could genuinely be watching the next England legend and it's all due to his youth development, you're welcome 😉

It's on my list, this and COD are likely to be my next 2 games, the first 2 of these were fantastic.
