  1. All my money is tied to the Japan trip, also I live too far from Helsinki to go to Tallinn for a short trip in the near future.

     

    I will keep it in mind when my daughter gets older that we could do a family trip to Tallinn and see an IMAX movie there. :)

     

    I heard that a Finnish actress is speaking Finnish in this movie. So embarassing, should we believe now that Finland is in this sequel what Japan was in the original? This is like Star Wars Masters of Teräs Käsi all over again when foreigners think our dumb language is exotic. Next thing they tell me is that Gosling's character is eating salmiakki candy or something like that.


  2. I should finish watching Stargate and Atlantis someday. I stopped in the middle of both. Both were excellent series, but I was watching both together with some buddies and they moved elsewhere in the country so the watching sessions stopped completely.


  3. I finally watched all three short movies they have released as promotional stuff for the movie.

    I was actually surprised that the anime by Shinichirō Watanabe was the worst one, I was expecting it to be the other way around.

     

    Jared Leto surprised in the Nexus Dawn clip that he can act and be menacing. I thought he is always hammy and overacting.

    Wrestling Batista surprised me also that he can act. He was very good in the Nowhere to Run clip.

    The only good part about the anime Blade Runner 2022 was that they got Edward James Olmos back to voice Gaff.

     

    I have decided that I will watch the movie. But not now this week when it comes out, I will watch it later this month or beginning of next month in Japan so I can experience it in IMAX. That I can't do in Finland. The premiere in Japan is also later than elsewhere, on 27th October. I still don't have a good feeling about this movie and I don't buy into all the rave previews and reviews that have been around the net recently.

     

    I really hope they don't go the way that this Gosling character is some superhero who is the key to everything that only he can solve all this shit.

     

    Also, EA and Warner and everyone involved should sort out their mess and release Westwood Studios Blade Runner adventure game now in autumn in GOG and Steam. It's such a great game.


  4. The elevator button behaviour might be some American thing?

     

    Most Finnish elevators don't have close buttons, just the keep open button, but those that have the close button do close the elevator doors immediately. Otherwise you have to wait 5-10 seconds more, this I have tested for example at my workplace since it has a quite modern elevator.

     

    Same in Japan, except there every old or new elevator has keep open and close buttons and those always work as well. Japanese people are really effective and polite with the elevator door behaviour also, they keep the door open for others who are approaching and then when everyone is in, they close the door immediately. It's really fascinating to follow the locals elevator door button usage when I'm using elevators while I'm in Japan.

     

    In Finland people don't usually keep elevator doors open for others, they just don't care.


  5. The most annoying thing is that according to Remedy's and Steam's QB forum discussions, Remedy updated the game last year to work with older AMD processors, but left the POPCNT fault for Intel processors.

     

    And Remedy has said in both forums also year ago that they will no longer put out any updates for the game at all at any point.

     

    Will be at this point still years before I'll update my motherboard and processor.


  6. Yeah, it might be "dead" now as a platform, but back when they made Minecraft finally for it, was it two years ago? Then I never understood why they made such a lazy port without touchscreen capabilities when they could've done what they did eventually anyway for 3DS.

     

    Nintendo is killing me, I still have tons of games on various consoles and PC to play in my backlog, but I have growing feeling of *must get a Switch as soon as possible*.


  7. Octopath Traveller looks amazing. I really, really like the way it mixes 2d art with 3d world. The lighting also looks wonderful.

     

    Super Mario Odyssey just keeps blowing my mind in all possible IGN ways. I'm excited about that game so much more than about BotW even though Zelda was an amazing Wii U game.

     

    I have DooM for PC and if I were to ever play Wolfenstein 2, I would play it on PC as well, but it is really great to see a major 3rd party going almost all in on Switch. Skyrim, DooM, Wolfenstein 2 all coming for Switch. Though now that it is real I kind of would wish they would make Wolfenstein, the extra campaign and Wolfenstein 2 all in one package for Switch and not just the second game.

     

    Also Microsoft/Mojang are such assholes, they announced Minecraft for 3DS and it has touch screen inventory management and crafting. Why couldn't they do the same for Wii U already?

    Your CPU does not support all the required features. To continue, a CPU with the following additional features is required:

     - POPCNT instruction

     

    Fuck you Remedy. :tdown:

     

    The only game ever that doesn't want run on my Q9550, GTX 1060 machine.

    These asshats put a processor block for older processors in their game even though my PC can run smoothly for example nuDooM and Batman Arkham Knight etc.

     

    I bought the special edition PC version from a bargain bin a few months ago, but forgot to use the Steam key until yesterday. I installed the 70GB monstrosity only to be greeted with the above message when starting the game.


  9. No, the PSN store access definitely doesn't work if you would still have 3.60 OS version. PSN checks that you need to have the latest version and asks you to download it. I remember this because of some past system update I didn't immediately download it and tried to access the store.

     

    The Vita memory cards are really stupid creation from Sony. Always crazy expensive. I bought a 64gb card from Japan when I bought the Vita and it was crazy expensive even there.


  10. I like how the indie scene and of course Japanese devs still support Vita. There are lots of great ports and of course old exclusives that are really nice on Vita. Shame it's quite horrible to hold in hands to play. My hands cramp so much more than on any Nintendo portable. And my fingers are always somehow on top of the speakers. Pretty much always need headphones to properly hear the sounds and music.

     

    I laughed today when I heard about SD2VITA, fans found out a use for the mystery port on top of the Vita and made it to use microSD card module so you can have much more space on the device because the Vita memory cards are crazy expensive. Needs HENkaku and version 3.60 and I have neither since I always keep my devices updated to latest versions.


  11. So, since Nintendo is in my opinion stupidly killing off Miiverse in November, I ask you which games had the most connection too Miiverse? New Super Mario Bros U has the messages pop up at places as hints etc from other players, Smash had a Miiverse stage and Mario Maker had Miiverse stuff in it for posting levels etc. Some games had Miiverse stamps like Mario Kart 8 and Tengami. Hyrule Warriors had achievements in the form of Miiverse posts.

     

    What other games are on Wii U that had a deep connection with Miiverse? I suppose on 3DS side the whole Miiverse connection was always kind of slow and not much used other than for regular commenting.

     

    I have still oh so many Wii U games that are not completed so I suppose I have to start going through the Wii U backlog at least regarding the Miiverse integrations to see the games in their full form. Also I wonder what will happen to the functionalities, when Miiverse is destroyed then will it just break the game in those parts? I just wish Nintendo would leave Miiverse as is in a legacy form and just disable from people posting new pictures and comments there since they don't want to act as admin there anymore to keep up the system. Then the functionalities would still work.

     

    This hurts me like the Gamespy server closing did in Wii and DS era. I loved playing online with Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii. I also enjoyed downloading puzzles for Layton games and levels for Warioware D.I.Y.


  12. Remember Richard and Linda. Well Richard is now dead(?) and Linda is nowhere to be seen still. Also where's Becky?

     

    There are so many open questions that it's going to be a truly wild ride next week with the two hour end to this all. It's going to be a hard week to wait for those final episodes.

     

    Also Mark Frost's Final Dossier is getting closer to be released.

     

    Jerry is in good shape for an old man, he ran like 7-8 episodes ago out from the woods and he kept running like Forrest Gump until today.


  13. I have had a lot of issues with Twin Peaks, especially in the S3 first episodes, but it's all coming together so nicely.

     

    This was an extremely damn good episode.

     

    I was so close to shouting YES YES YES in that wrestling meme style when Dale Cooper said to Bushnell " I am the FBI". My dog thought I was nuts, and I almost woke up my wife and daughter when the clock was 5AM at that point.

     

    Also Jim Belushi's face when he was drinking that Bloody Mary, so awesome.
