It was a tossup between this and Ghostbusters. Glad I made the correct choice by the looks of it. Sweeney is excellent. Nothing particularly new but a few twists and some genuine scare moments.

I do like a demonic convent Nun film

Saw it earlier. Completely agree with your assessment (especially about S.Sweeney being excellent). Very atmospheric and unsettling and they managed to land the ending which is always nice.

Seeing this tomorrow. Very much looking forward to it 

It's...ok i suppose.

i agree with many of the reviews that mention the film throws way too many characters and half realised storylines into the mix. I think if you're a fan of the franchise (I am) then you'll be entertained for most part (it's certainly never boring) but I hope if there's a next movie then it's way more streamlined and concentrates on the new characters.

I'll play it at some point, interested at where they pitch the difficulty, I want another GoT not a nioh / sekuro

It has 3 difficulty settings so you should be OK.

Is it ok if I replace the butter by absorbing all of the juice from the cooking tray into my bread? 'Cause that really enhances the bacon-ness of the sandwich for me rather than hiding it behind the albeit delicious taste of butter, yet without losing any of that precious fat.

This guy gets it.

Just installing Dragon's Dogma 2.  Looks exactly up my street, not a typical RPG and wear appears to be a huge open world. I saw a couple of you guys already playing it so might be back later for hints and tips!

Only put an hour or two into it so far, but its good (and as punishing as the OG) so far.

Both high on my list @BOF

Particularly looking forward to Late Night with the Devil. Love a bit of David Dastmalchian.

Working in IT, we have a million vendors.

When it comes to working with this one, I have no issues.

But this shit, this pisses me off.

To be fair, I've come across plenty of these in my previous life as a designer.

It's the difference between a 'written' version of the name and a graphical logo - there's plenty of companies that have done this. Off the top of my head - Amazon (amazon in the logo), Adidas (likewise) and Facebook.

Perfect for this thread though 

Dragon's dogma 2 reviews are very positive.

Colour me (even more) excited.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, unsurprisingly, has reviewed like a ghost turd.

Yep, seems its not a patch on Afterlife which I really enjoyed.

Still going to see it at the weekend though

Aaron Taylor Johnson - the kid from kick ass - has been offered Bond apparently

Still hoping they give it to Peter Dinklage.

I am very curious to see how Dragon's Dogma 2 fairs in the mainstream. 

There is a lot of hype around a game that a lot of people didn't play when it first came around, and I'm curious how many people know what they're in for.

Dragon's Dogma 1 is one of my all time favourite games so I am 100% down to get punished hard by the second game, but I feel like the trailers are showing all the cool shit and none of stuff that people may dislike. 

I hope people love it though because Dragon's Dogma 2 is the closest we'll get to a true 90's style RPG in 2024. If people liked how hands off Elden Ring was then Dragon's Dogma 2 is even more hands off. 

Love the first one and it sounds like it's going to be similar but with more polish.

If they don't **** around too much with the og's vibe then I'll be a happy pawn.

Got my Pre-Order for Dragons Dogma 2 sorted for Friday.

From the bits and pieces of previews I've seen, it looks like potential GOTY material.

Really good fun.

Plenty of the usual Coen story, character and visual flourishes, and one of the funniest movies I've seen for a long time.

Recommended.

I've recently started another playthrough in preparation for the dlc. My original character is about level 400 and on NG++++ and as the designers have recommended an NG character for the dlc, I think he might be overlevelled

Just bought this today, and it’s the first souls-like game I’ve ever played. Does a bit of googling and going to start with Vagabond I think as it seems to be good for a beginner and has relatively balanced stats etc. 

 

It's one of the best games of all time. Hopefully you'll have a blast. If you need any pointers, just let me know.

Their next album is shaping up to be a belter.

Think I was about 23 when I started posting on the original VT.

Yeah, 20 years as a member of VT this August. Still vividly remember signing up 

Good point.

We were however, shite for most of the game.

This lot just keep getting better and better.
