    Rimworld - strategy base building sci-fi indie game

    You will want to download Alien Vs Predator mod, includes USC Marines gear and Story. Last time I played, the whole base became quickly overrun with facehuggers. Zombieland is another recommended mod, zombie hordes and your colony stuck with sticks n stones is not a good start though...

    ***The Official Starfield Thread*** (As endorsed by TNA)

    The game is totally unplayable at the moment on my RTX3070. Crashes frequently after a minute or so. It was stable when the game was released. Suspect the NVidia drivers, as they updated a few weeks ago. Anybody having same issues? Also have issue with Sarah throwing herself at me at every whim...

    ***The Official Starfield Thread*** (As endorsed by TNA)

    Enjoying the game, discovering random Spacer filled outposts. Just wish that we could aquire abandoned outposts after clearing out the baddies. Downsides are the poor instructions and controls for ship building. Also lack of opportunity to kit the ship out internally. Daily Mod watching, to see...

    Tabletop Warhammer?

    Some Space Marines painted for my 8 year old son. Mostly bought from the recent Warhammer monthly magazines. This time he painted the green and filled the details... ..And finally, he wanted this one in Iron Man colours...

    ***The High-Res Screenshot Thread!***

    Prepar3d V6 - The Pro version has now got weapons and simulated Avionics systems. The software is now heading towards the realistic flight training route, rather than the shiny " I can fly a 747 over my house" market which MSFS 2020 has stolen the crown for. The software is very stable, and...

    Dunno about these historical series, still sore after Thrones of Britannia being abandoned.

    Destiny 2 Lightfall.

    Even worse when they scrapped the early campaigns, the last I completed was the Osrisis one and now, having returned to the game, I cannot progress onto the next story. And most of the content is locked unless you buy Lightfall.

    Former President James Carter receiving hospice care

    Too true. Until his 90s he cares for this world, when others younger than him are trying to steal as much as they can for greed and glory. I grew up in the 70's and 80's, remembering his name in the news and that of his successor, Ronald Reagan. The press showed him as not being ruthless...

    Best Total War game?

    I like the heroes style of gameplay in Warhammer series, but also the massive variations of units, so no race is alike. As Goodie mentions above - Empire - I bought this on DVD release day and is always on my HDs (along with Rome 2). Empire is a huge game with satisfying Naval combat. After...

    Best Total War game?

    Lots are going to complain here, but I still love Rome 2. And you most definitely want the first 2 Warhammer games.

    DCS or Falcon BMS

    I can guess that they maybe using Prepar3d. Big push in the Military Simulation & Training world for augumented reality training and more classroom-based synthetic devices. Not enough aircraft and saves fuel if a trainee can practise navigation, Instrument approach landings or basic formation...

    The AMD Driver Thread

    How are the drivers now for VR? Tempted by the price for the 6800XT, but looking at playing PCVR games and apps such as Prepar3D, DCS & Skyrim. Also Total War series games too for pncake screens.

    *** Oculus Quest 2 Owners Thread ***

    I have used the Aero's Big Bruvva - XR3, totally blown away with. Even work's 3090s struggled to maintain 90Hz on a propietry flight sim with scenery scaled down to lowest level our customer would allow.

    *** VR Deals Thread ***

    Got the Quest 2 too! Got sucked into the unwitting, little informed thing about Quest2 games have to be cross-buy otherwise buy a Q2 replacement - like Beat Sabre and a few of the kids' favourite games (Job Simulator, etc).

    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    Old and probably dumb question, is it worth me getting my sons (11 & 6 years old) the Xbox S or the X? They only play Minecraft & Fortnite on my PC or their Amazon Kids tablets. Looking at getting them a decent console as they are outgrowing their tablets.

    Random Famous People You Met

    I once sat on Jimmy Saville's knee during the warm-up exercises for Cardiff Marathon in the mid 80's. I once met Sylvia Anderson (widow of the great Gerry Anderson of Thunderbirds & Capatain Scarlet fame), at a local radio station in Swansea. Then I was interviewed by Jimmy Saville there.. I was...

    What PC games are you playing?

    Busy with Carrier Command 2 - Loving the retro graphics as the ocean flow is quite soothing! Brilliant game with indepth tactics, but still struggling with operating the drones. Carrier guided missiles are fun and the TV guided missiles are a real blast!!
