The video game thread

It was you I had in mind for this sort of thing. if you want to build a big dam, be my guest.
i can only think it'll be hella difficult to have the two different water levels though, maybe the worldedit plugin will help there, i'll have a look into it.

was excited about this until now, it just looks like cod in space

Don't they all nowadays, don't they all?..

hey bobby, where do you want your station to be? i've built a hell of a rail for you, it goes through a ravine and everything, its gonna be an underwater tunnel for the final stretch too

I'll finish my helm's deep-esque plan then maybe we can start something

Also, I have very little to do today so I'm up for some hardcore minecraftage!

well for that matter, where do you want your station, cos yours is after bobbys

realised we didn't have any wolves on the server
we now have 30 wolves on the server

Woo! Are they breedable?

I've heard that EDF is totally rad but I've never had a proper look at it myself. Might get it on steam at christmas.

You guys gonna get skyrim? I don't really have the money and I have shit loads of work to do but I know I'll end up spending hundreds of hours on it so in terms of £/hour it might be really good value

bethesda have lied to me too many times in the past, i'll wait til it's on sale for like £15

I've been sucked in by the hype so I pre-ordered it ages ago. It'll take at least a week to get to me in the post though .

I'll sell it after a few months when the Game of the Year edition comes out with all the extra DLC. I did that for Fallout 3 and broke even.

this review is hella promising

Eeee! I'm so excited.

I think I'm going to properly role-play this one. I will say to myself, "What would my character do?" instead of, "What is most beneficial for me to do at this point?"

yeah, i've completely 180d on this and will be playing this game in 38 minutes
(austalian proxy for the win)

Boo! I've got to wait until Thursday, minimum.

Dude you shouldn't have told me that. I've got a bunch of stuff to hand in tomorrow but now I'm not gonna get anything done

sorry parg

I'm not watching any videos for that game until the box is in my hands and the disc is in my machine.

you played dark souls at all? I keep being told to play that or demons souls

I don't know anything about either of those games.

Gah, my PS3 broke last night. It's that flashing red light problem. I had a search and basically that could be anything.

i'm hoping this is going to be the game that makes the ps3 worth buying, however it's from naughty dog, so i may be asking a bit much

if it's broke and out of warranty, just try cracking it open and emprtying all the dust, dirt and cockroaches out of it. Could help

I've had it open this morning. The thermal paste on the CPU and GPU was all dried up so I stuck some more on. I gave it a good dusting and still nothing. When I'm next in work I'll try to re-solder the processors.

Something else I'm worried about is that I can't read the PS3's hard drive from my computer. This could be a formatting issue or that it's knackered. I hope it's not because all of my saved games from the last 5 years is on it.
