interesting. let us know what you uncover pls!

 

[Raven]

Yeah, I am not sure the Napoleonic thing is right though, Waterloo was 1815 and this is (at its earliest) 1816, digging a bit deeper it probably a bit later, possibly 1830s

Although, no wonder the French are so shit at war, they used a gladius with no shield.

 

[TdC]

would be awesome if you could trace it. you've prolly already done the needful but check carefully for makers marks, numbers, that kind of thing duder. you could contact the Musée de l'Armée or something. I'm sure their curators would be delighted to help you out.

'I cant believe they sacked me, you know what i should've done before i left, i should've deleted loads of shit. If i log on and just se.....well would you look at that....'

When I left BT, they kept ringing me up to bring in my top level access card, eventually they sent someone to pick it up.
I could have just logged in, stopped the 10 primary wave generators while disabling the backup and the entire network , including internet would have closed down.
It would have taken them hours to get it back up.

Ha I can still remember the code,

You would have likely of bluescreened before that, or corrupted your HD.

nope no microshite code in system X

I'm very much enjoying having this full screen on the second monitor today. We were at about $260 on Friday.

The Flippening (the dead serious name given to the point at which Ethereum overtakes Bitcoin in market capitalisation) is approaching quicker than anyone anticipated.

New Metro incoming. Unfortunately it seems console only. Fuckwits :-/

The facepalm is for them, not for you. I recently played through the redux versions of 2033 and Last Light, it absolutely sucks the balls if they're ignoring the PC this time around.

edit - I've not seen anyone specifically say it's console-only, only that they used a Xbox One to showcase it...

 

[Scouse]

console only

Given consoles are shit PC's - how??

 

[TdC]

I realized that duder, no worries. I agree btw. I have both the PC metro reduxes and they're amazeballs.

 

[TdC]

Given consoles are shit PC's - how??

well, super optimized for all that single hardware pool, and ofc adaptive quality reduction, 30 FPS and all those other shit things that console users have been fed to shore up the mediocre hardware they have.

indeed. tbh heavily implied though. otherwise they'd have explicitly said PC too. MS has paid them off for an xbone exclusive perhaps?

Xbone One X?

 

[TdC]

No idea duder. I don't follow the consoles. I had a PS3 once but gave it away because consoles are shit. Very expensive blue ray player TBH.

 

[Zarjazz]

Possibly but even if that were true it's more likely to be exclusive-at-launch with a PC release later on. That's happened with several other games.

 

[TdC]

Maybe. I really hope it comes to PC. Love the Metro franchise.

 

[Raven]

I thought all "xbox exclusives" would end up on PC, as they are trying to harmonise their crap, so would be on Games for Windows, or whatever the fuck they are calling it now.

Thing is, what's developed first? I mean, any console to PC engine port will be shite unless they take off the constraints they have to put on the engine

That's much less true than it used to be. Since most of the hardware in the XBone / PS4 means they are basically just glorified PC's, none of that PS3 Cell Processor nightmare. So most of the modern engines work across all hardware with much less bespoke dev work for each one. Increase the texture sizes, maybe increase the polygon count and job done.

Still that doesn't stop them designing most modern cross-platform releases as if everyone only uses controllers. KB+M still seems to be a secondary afterthought for a lot of games.

 

[Ormorof]

From what i gather most are developing on pcs then porting to xbox (it uses direct x anyway) ps4 is a bit different because you can dev directly on the box

Its also much easier to scale down from pc quality than scale up from consoles

Had a sword under the stairs that I found when my Grandad died. Always assumed it was some sort of costume piece.

Turns out its Model 1816 French artillery short sword - Wikipedia

Which is nice.

Fits with the British 1800s cavalry sword I have too I suppose. Going to see if I can find out where they both came from, ma thinks its some ancestor that fought in the Napoleonic war.

How odd I have a French sword. assumed it was 1st WW but will have to look.

Doom VR. Looks like what I've been told about VR not being suitable for FPS's is right. Give people twitch-style freedom of movement and they throw up. Notice the lack of movement in general and weird "teleport to here" controls going on:

I will look them up, thanks. Its pretty cool really so I don't think I would sell it or anything, it still has its original (though falling apart) scabbard.

 

[Scouse]

Everyone should consider shooting the messenger (again).

I've never played them, but just discovered both redduxs on Steam for £6.24. Bought, thanks.

130,000 population Twitch.tv channel asked live if they were excided about the new Assassins Creed game live on air... the live poll results were ruthless lol

 

[Raven]

Lad at work was excited about it. I told him it would be shit. I have no actual opinion, never played any of them but he is a massive fanboy of random things.
