    ^Lol accidentally ventured into his turf after I killed the giant pig. Wasn’t ready, so I lost about 5k echoes. 
    Tomorrow I’ll have my shotgun full and get him. 
    BTW, I let my + expire as I wasn’t using it at all. Is it worthwhile for this game?

    The Frame mode is available on the LG CX Model also.  Visually it looks great, 

     

    Yeah but I'd rather the set itself look like The Frame, not just display art.

    The ones I had in Sikkim and Nepal - f**king heavenly. The ones in Sikkim are possibly FAR FAR FAR ahead of anything else I have eaten elsewhere. 

     

    True. The place, local prep, spices, and the weather are those difference makers. Plus the local chutney. 

     

    Try these if you haven't yet: 

    1. Noshi - Yum Asian Delivery (Yum Yum Cha). Though not the street side type, the dim-sums and wontons are delish. Specially the philly wonton. Yum. 

    2. Yeti - The Himalayan Kitchen GK II. As close to the east as you can get in Delhi. The whole menu is great. And hot. Like sweat on your nose, water-y eyes, numb lips hot.

    I got it. I GOT it. If the enemies feel OP, run away and find another way. @adity truth speak. 
    Got the cleric down to about half but haven’t figured his a*s out yet. More tomorrow. I’d have had him in first try (if he doesn’t use any new moves beyond half health unlike that biatch Sigrun) if the camera wasn’t absolutely batshit insane. 
     

    Also was just a few steps away from opening the back gate around from the checkpoint yesterday. If I’d have opened that, I wouldn’t have cribbed here. 
     

    This game is a metaphor for life. Watch your step, be ready for attack, and don’t crib.

    Agreed. Its so tough to reach Cleric Beast at first. Those wolfs n all. I was like this is sh*t man.

     

    Then i killed Cleric Beast and it was a great moment and all was forgotten :P

     

     

     

    Yeah, last I died was at the two werewolves. I lured one to the lower section, and almost had him, but I was totally out of bullets and vials. I'll probably start the game again and see what's what. 

    Fvck Yharnam.

    Really?? I thought Demon Souls more tougher @GunnerY2J thinks BB is cake walk in front of Souls 

     

    I believe the magic made it easier. Don't remember it much though.

    Dear console makers, here's how to solve Gamepass and PSNow: 

     

    AAA games release retail only day 1. Akin to box office. They show up for GP/PSNow 90 days after release

    Everything else: day 0-60, pick a number 

    Create GP/PSNow exclusives which won't be available for retail. Start with old classics, back catalog gems, remakes etc. and/or DLCs
    Games once in subscription shouldn't be leaving

     

    Advantages:

    AAA studios need to make their games more compelling for day1 purchase at full price

    Gamers who don't care for day1 get the same game for a lot less (sub price) a few months down the road, like how it is now anyway

    For people who game too much: unmatched selection of catalog, all games available with you are also available with your friends

    For people who don't game too much: something always available to play

    Uncomplicated backward compatibility

    Will get me to try many games I otherwise wouldn't bother with
    More "risky", off-beat games

     

    For industry: steady money inflow, statistics, data on game usage, demographics etc. Helps them to create better games/experiences

     

    Friction area: third party devs creating their own subscriptions like EA and T2. 

     

    I can't wait till someone truly solves this.

    First soulsborne game?

     

    Demon's Souls. Loved it until my PS3 died. Probably completed 4-5 worlds. Still have the disc and art book. I don't remember it being this tough. It's unforgiving, sure. This is straight up sadistic. :D

    So I started this yesterday and wtf. 3 hours and I couldn’t reach the second checkpoint. Wtf. WTF. I feel stoopid af. Like my gaming ability has been robbed. My timing was off. Attacks were off. And these piddly little f**kers were killing me.

    Are they even reliable? I rather go with Amazon.


    No way am I giving any money upfront to anything reliance.
    AJIO took months to reverse pick-up a costly order, didn’t in the end, and asked me to self-ship. Then they took another couple of weeks and a few calls to issue refund. Still they left out the (high) return shipping cost, which they said they would, even after I’d specifically mentioned it over e-mail and call and provided AWB receipt. :lol:

    Watching Ted Lasso gives you the same feeling as playing with a bunch dogs. Giant, fluffy, slobbering, restless, eager, gobs of love and goodness with lots of laughs. Jason Sudeikis absolutely owns the role, along with the rest of the team, specially the diamond dogs (woof). What a lovely, lovely thing.

    5/5.

    Bros they murdered it. They could not have sold PS5 better if their life depended on it. Perhaps this no live conference thing isn’t so bad. 
     

    This was a non-stop barrage of everything we want and none of what we don’t. No bs executive spewing a*s licks. Just pure games, gameplay, and pricing. 
     

    This is giving me PS2 levels of hope.

    (Nolan Crosscut)

     

    The Interstellar sequence he's talking about is is one of my absolute favourite sequences in any a/v ever. Right from when Mann takes Cooper with those wide, sweeping shots of a white-ish landscape, to the black guy dying in a blast, to them racing to the dock, to when Mann bungles it, and TARS docks with the ship while it's spinning like a top. 

    I must've seen it a hundred times, literally, as this was my final patch for HT auditions. 

     

    This sequence is breathtakingly beautiful, and the music is epic. 

     

    Watch Zimmer with a live orchestra, in Prague, absorbed in his craft, creating magic: No Time For Caution.

    Moneyball is a really well made movie. Excellent dialog, pacing is great, and it gets on base. 

     

    ..

     

    Watched all trailers last night. The Batman looks kinda okay, Nirvana elevates that trailer. And so does Travis Scott with Tenet. Rest of it all is pretty much gurgles. Want to see how they play the Riddler, and how Nolan tortures the hardware this time.
