Also, to nick a decent thread off the Rangers forum, what's the worst game you've bought? Mine was The Incredible Hulk: The Pantheon Saga for the Saturn. I picked it up when I was a kid with the last tenner of my Christmas money. It looks worse than I remember, but I did attempt to persevere in a failed attempt to convince myself I hadn't wasted my cash. Only thing that springs to mind is Mortal Kombat on the Master System. It was the kid friendly version, therefore pointless. It also had a reduced number of fighters iirc. I can't remember anything objectively bad tbh. There probably is worse in my Steam library, due to Humble Bundles, Humble Monthly and Steam sales, but I haven't played them yet (and likely never will). |

Oh god.
The nerd who usually works from home has turned up in the office today. He's such a creep and stinks really bad. Keeps blabbering on about computer games and photography, like some sort of perv.
We all hate him and wish he was dead.

The god botherer was in again to get his website on the web.
He asked for help and I was rapidly losing patience as he struggled to remember his password - never mind actually use Wordpress.
Then the phone of the guy sitting opposite rang. His ringtone was the Exorcist tune - which amused me no end.
Anyway - his website is now live. Though I pointed out again he might want to remove or edit the "About Us" section of the template that is nothing to do with him.
I then explained DNS propagation to him. He seemed indignant about how long his word of the lord might take to filter out - I may have used the phrase "You're not important - it's how it works for everyone"

sort of- there is a mass private group which bans non-consensual pvp (!)and if they do start something in there they will be kicked, and devs are likely to restore your game. This effectively forces the culprits to play in solo mode, or open, in which case all gloves are off.
My gut feeling is they are likely to play nicely, at least til the starport gets built at the centre of the galaxy, and then they will try something spectacular to bring that down before they can get kicked - I don't think they'd do all this just for a couple of quick player kills

Working from home today so the work loos remain habitable. Which is more than I can say for my upstairs. This is why I am banned from the en-suite bathroom.

a decent thread off the Rangers forum. Lol! I don;t think I've had many disappointments buying games in the console era as even the worst ones are pretty well put together. For the most disappointing gap between hype and reality, it has to be Eureka! on the Spectrum. It was written by Ian Livingstone of Fighting Fantasy fame at the height of that craze; it was supposed to have all kinds of new mechanics for an adventure game; and iirc it came on two tapes in a massive box and was the first game to be sold for £14.99. I got it for Christmas and can still remember that kind of disappointment that you only get as a kid - curiosity, doubt, rage, loss, and finally incandescent fury at Santa for having inflicted this shite on you. Now that I think about it, that's probably the moment my life started to spiral out of control. |

I won't be in much now. I leave you with MrTiddles starting his new job: That looks too technical for me. |

it's also reassuring that some of the devs will be on the expedition, despite it not being an 'offical' in game event, FD seem very on-board with it (free advertising anyone?) and it wouldn't surprise me if they have planned a few special occurances along the way

From the youtube comments: At the introductory "codes" screen, press Button 2, Button 1 and Button 2 followed by Down and Up to activate blood. Now, all we need is a time machine... |

I’m not playing a rangers game, screw that.
On the other hand, Civ IV was the most disappointing game I ever played. It was getting addicted to it that really made me realise I’d never make anything of my life, and led to me being the disappointment to family, friends, and myself that I am today.

So, Shenguin how come you didn’t realise that until Civ IV? You must have been pretty slow on the uptake? |

I find it difficult to believe you didn't realise this with Civ 2.

I'm lunching al desko. Cheese sander.
Is no one going to take the bait on my *everything* on switch comments? I'm literally going to be playing *everything* on switch tonight. Because there is a game called everything coming out on the switch today. So I've bought everything on switch. But it sounds like I'm saying I will be playing everything (not the game) on switch, if you didn't know that everything was the name of a game. Tremendous stuff even if I do say so myself, and no one noticed, and I had to write a paragraph explaining it.

I didn't know there was a game called 'everything' on switch but it was damn easy to figure out (approx 3.1 seconds). Whats on the cheese sander? and don't say everything or I will properly murder you.* *not. |

There was cheese in the cheese sandwich. Just cheese. Everything wasn't in it as that is a video game and so not something you can put in a sandwich, unless it was sold in a physical format I suppose. But it is a digital only game, so you couldn't put it in a sandwich.
I could say I had Super Mario Odyssey in a sandwich but that just sounds like I've gone mad and started eating switch cartridges
