I remember that mod. I stopped playing it. It's not good.

@DiscoStu, you should see it where I live in the UK. My sister moved to her own place a couple of estates away and the layout inside is identical to our mum's house. My grandparent's place which was a couple of estates in the other direction was also identical.

Then, when I moved back to Market Drayton three years ago, we got a house close to my mum's place, and the layout of my house is identical to my childhood friend's house, who lived one street over. So it seems this entire area where I live, the houses all have one of two layouts...

Yass! Gimme that Goldsource tour!

Ah, OK. It's my first journal. I was wondering what the Hell was going on...

I'll be honest. I've not been able to catch the live stream for a couple of weeks. British Summer Time means that I can only really get the first hour of the weekday stream before needing to retire to get a semi-decent amount of sleep. The weekend is just getting hectic with the youngest starting to move about and the eldest wanting to play in the sun all day...

That said, depending on what is put in place, I will try to watch whenever I can, otherwise I'll be catching up via the VODs when I'm cooking dinner and whatnot.

Hell, I've wanted to get back into streaming myself because I really enjoyed the interaction aspect of it, but my time is just getting soaked up by toddlers and babies and wives... mostly one of each of those.

Woo! A singleplayer map in the vault!

Short, sweet and very authentic. I would go as far as to say that you could drop this into the middle of We've Got Hostiles and a lesser experienced Half Life player would be none the wiser.

Played on hard and actually missed the optional side path so it was pretty challenging.

One issue I noticed was that the grunts having a conversation don't react when the other is killed. I assume this was done so that the player can bust the vent without the grunts spinning round and blasting them? Otherwise, solid.

Old one was scrapped by the dealership and knocked £2,000 off the price of the new one.

You actually make a good point. My old Rio was much heavier than I realised. We had to winch it onto the recovery truck only to realise the back nearside wheel had seized up after three months on the driveway. Took three of us to lift the one wheel off the ground.

Petroleum sadly, but efficient at least. Stop/Start when idling, lots of indicators to ensure you get the most MPG and so on.

My 2009 was the absolute basic model, same as the new one in fact. Times have changed it seems...

New car is only a 1248cc compared to the previous 1399, but it actually feels much more powerful.

Congratulations on rising through the ranks of the Mafia.

Sounds specifically like a YOU problem there, Arch.

Happy... 18th? Surely not.

24th? I may be missing some tentacles.
Commented 6 years ago2018-05-03 13:30:01 UTC in journal: #8931 Comment #67416
Gratz.

The Core is now a Fallout 4 mod.

TWHL4 is now a Half-Life mod.

Likely some copyrighted element in the background, or perhaps they acted as advisers on certain aspects? I've not seen it but it is apparently dripping with references to existing franchises.

Ah, of course

That's awesome. Enjoy! :D

In my experience, St Paddy's day never gets a lot of fuss here. Maybe in the cities, but certainly not out here in the country.

I literally have zero problems with Windows 10. It lets me map, browse the web and play videogames.

I rarely do anything else, so I can't say what issues you might encounter doing more than that. Honestly, the backlash baffles me...

Jeez. Sorry to hear that. Man, you've had a real rough 12 months. :(

I'm real sorry to hear that, man.

On the subject of your feelings, being at the absolute peak of an emotion, even a negative one, can often provide a severe jolt to the creative process. I've often found a need to do something when losing a loved one, just to keep busy, to keep going.

I've churned out maps, short stories and even a video or two. I'm not saying don't grieve, but don't squander the creative benefits. <3

My playthrough! Linky!

I am thoroughly looking forward to the sequel, Morning Stuff

Pretty sure they were bots. Players usually have more creative names than just the hero they were playing. :P
Commented 6 years ago2018-02-07 14:20:12 UTC in journal: #8909 Comment #48484
Bots though.

Still, pretty awesome. :P
Commented 6 years ago2018-01-21 20:14:34 UTC in journal: #8905 Comment #44144
Thanks guys! ^_^

Also, yeah... This is definitely going to delay The Core a little more unfortunately, at least for the first few months. :P

I enjoy a round of Overwatch, but none of my friends like it. :(

Fixed after God knows how long. Thank Jessie for streaming. :)

Either 8am or 1pm work for me on a saturday to be honest, but I'm in favour of any time that isn't PUBG time...

I realise now that neither 8am or 1pm are PUBG time, so ignore me.

@Snehk: I'd say one or the other. Investing in a powerful laptop is a huge mistake in my opinion. I have often considering getting a laptop, but I wouldn't dream of getting one for gaming. Artwork and writing maybe, perhaps have a few older titles on there, but a modern day "gaming" laptop is just a massive waste of money.
Commented 7 years ago2017-10-14 23:48:39 UTC in journal: #8877 Comment #68439
Might be time to get a new one... :P

I've never had a laptop that lasted more than three years, so I tend to avoid them.

Happy 31st. (I used "find on page") :P
Commented 7 years ago2017-10-01 11:20:32 UTC in journal: #8872 Comment #44128
Don't get me wrong, this has had absolutely zero effect on me. I've had comments to this nature on other older channels that I usually ignore. Since, turning 30 last year, I really couldn't care less what other people thing of me.

I'll be honest though, this time I saw an opportunity to turn the last comment to my advantage and I took it. And yeah... I'm just a little pleased with myself. :P

Hope everything is going OK for you, sir. Also, I feel the most important question is yet to be answered and I think I speak for everyone when I ask: Did you get tacos?
Commented 7 years ago2017-09-07 16:42:59 UTC in journal: #8860 Comment #53004
Considering the examples are The Sims and modern X-COM games, I believe we're talking about games that allow you to manage multiple, fully customisable (from scratch) characters at once.

XCOM and The Sims are all I can think of though...

Pillars of Eternity allows you to hire up to five custom party members which you make in the character creator. Not sure if Tyranny offers the same thing, but I've not seen any such option and I'm 16 hours into the story... so probably no.

Interesting ideas. Unfortunately not my preferred genres. :P
