Getting myself hyped up for Arkham Knight so I recently played through Arkham Asylum again, and just started Arkham City back up, then I'll move onto Arkham Origins again. I know most of you probably could play through those in a few days, but I'm lucky to get an hour a week :) So by the time Knight comes out, I should be all ready for it!

Damn that was some good banta :)

 

Far Cry 4 for me.  Story isn't too compelling which is great for me because I don't feel driven to get in and finish it asap to find out what happened.  Loving picking up the game intermittently when I need a break from work and zone out for 30 mins or so in Kyrat.

 

Want to get onto Grey Goo next, then might go back to beyond earth and by then Witcher 3 should be out at which time friends, family and work will not see me for a couple of weeks.

Grabbed Farcry 4 on sale today and also the hardcore enhancement mod. Still downloading but got bored with Metal Gear Rising so I'll play this one for a bit. I hope something good I really like comes out this year. Maybe I'll get lucky and see a Fallout 4 this year or something.

Dota 2 for my regular gaming. Finished Dying Light a few days after release and still playing a bit of Dragon Age here and then which I'm finding a bit of a bore fest. I have done 100 hours or so the first week or two when it was released (and was loving it) but Uni got in the way. Trying to play it now and I have no clue what is happening and it just seems so slowwwwww :/

After finishing Dying Light (fun, 7/10) and almost beating DA Inquisition (90 hours in, and so bored of it now, due to wasting time on side missions)  I am back to far cry 4.   beat the story 50%.   looking forward to the rest.

 

 

 

i have to learn my lesson, but my gaming ADD always takes me on side quests, so much so, that, by the time i get back to the story, i overplayed the game, and cannot be bothered.

Inquisition is a perfect example. I did so many side quests, that I was exhausted and bored of it now.  

I tried to do final mission, but I am not strong enough to finish it. And I cannot be bothered to do more stuff to level up.

Should have chose a wizard not a rogue. Would have being much easier.

 

 

also,   90 hours!    many people might think it is OK, but it is a NEW RECORD for me. that is why i try to avoid RPGs...     I hate them, until I put enough time in it to get attached, and then I find it hard to quit.

I am so glad I am bored of DA:I now.   

 

World of Warcraft, 10 years strong, not quitting anytime soon ;p

 

I can only feel for WoW people,  the game never ends..   ###### me sideways it eats up ALL your spare time.

Throw your job in, divorce your partner, abandon your kids. Game on.

 

 

 

 

:rofl:

 

at the moment i have none of that.   so, no problems! :shiftyninja:

 

i used to be a penthouse party bachelor for way too long... i gave up that lifestyle.

but i am not willing to give up my video games.   this was what defined my childhood in the 90s and it will always be with me.

i only hope i can find i partneress that tolerates my video gaming habits.

Was walking past EBGames (Aus version of Gamestop) with a bag of beer and noticed FC4 Kyrat edition on special. I tried to resist, but since I really liked FC3 & Blood Dragon I grabbed FC4. Pagan Min statue is sitting above my monitor with his hand pyramid of evil contemplation right now.

I'm still playing Dragon Age 3: Inquisition. I started playing it when I received it just after its launch in Autumn. However with certain personal issues that have occurred over the past few months, I just haven't had the time to continue playing it. I'll jump on it every now and again, but I'm no longer sure exactly where I am in the story and what's going on! Maybe if I get the time in the future to play it I'll start it again, but I doubt it.

      That reminds me. Now that i have Quest 3 I should go back and try the first one in VR. ... last time i did that I tried it in some janky VR setup which was still really good.

      It's amazing that anyone still uses this bloated trash.

      @Sayan...I have defended you at various points as I hope you know. This headline however is utter trash...shame on you sir!

      An actual cosmic "Eye of Sauron" had been looking straight at us all along by Sayan Sen Image by Kovin P. Vasquez via Pexels | Not representative An international team of researchers has solved a long-standing mystery surrounding a distant blazar known as PKS 1424+240, helping explain why it produces some of the brightest high-energy gamma rays and cosmic neutrinos ever observed despite appearing to have a relatively slow-moving jet. The findings were published on June 6 in Astronomy & Astrophysics Letters. The study addresses a broader challenge in astrophysics: understanding how extreme cosmic objects accelerate particles to very high energies and produce very high-energy (VHE) photons and neutrinos. PKS 1424+240 is located billions of light-years from Earth. It has attracted attention for years because it is both a powerful source of VHE gamma rays and the brightest known neutrino-emitting blazar in the sky, according to observations by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. It is also associated with one of the strongest peaks in IceCube's nine-year neutrino sky map A blazar is a type of active galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole that pulls in surrounding matter and launches jets of plasma moving close to the speed of light. What makes blazars unique is their orientation. One of their jets points almost directly toward Earth, making them appear exceptionally bright across the electromagnetic spectrum and allowing scientists to study some of the most extreme physical processes in the Universe. The scientists exclaimed it's like the 'Eye of Sauron' in deep space. Usually, the brightest gamma-ray-emitting blazars are expected to have jets that appear to move very quickly. However, radio observations of PKS 1424+240 suggested that its jet was moving much more slowly, creating a contradiction that became part of a long-running problem known as the "Doppler factor crisis." To investigate, researchers analyzed 15 years of observations from the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a network of 10 radio antennas spread across the continental United States, Hawaii and St. Croix. Using a technique called Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), astronomers combine signals from widely separated radio telescopes to create a virtual Earth-sized telescope capable of revealing extremely fine details. The team combined 42 polarization-sensitive radio images collected between 2009 and 2025, creating a much deeper and more detailed view of the jet than had previously been possible. The observations were carried out as part of MOJAVE (Monitoring Of Jets in Active galactic nuclei with VLBA Experiments), a long-running program that studies the brightness, polarization and magnetic field structures of jets produced by active galaxies. The project aims to better understand how activity near supermassive black holes is linked to high-energy radiation and neutrino emission. “When we reconstructed the image, it looked absolutely stunning,” said Yuri Kovalev, lead author of the study and Principal Investigator of the European Research Council-funded MuSES project at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “We have never seen anything quite like it — a near-perfect toroidal magnetic field with a jet, pointing straight at us.” The image revealed an unusual geometry. The researchers found that Earth lies almost directly in line with the jet, with a viewing angle of less than 0.6 degrees. In simple terms, astronomers are looking almost straight down the jet. This turned out to be the key to the mystery. Because the jet is aimed almost directly at Earth, a relativistic effect called Doppler boosting dramatically increases its apparent brightness. The study found that this effect boosts the emission by a factor of about 30 while also making the jet appear slower than it actually is. “This alignment causes a boost in brightness by a factor of 30 or more,” said Jack Livingston, a co-author at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “At the same time, the jet appears to move slowly due to projection effects — a classic optical illusion.” The nearly head-on view also gave scientists a rare look at the jet's magnetic field. Using polarized radio signals, they detected a clear toroidal, or doughnut-shaped, magnetic field component. The observations suggest the jet carries an electric current and that its magnetic field helps launch, shape and stabilize the flow of plasma. Researchers believe this magnetic structure may also play a key role in accelerating particles to energies high enough to produce both gamma rays and neutrinos. “Solving this puzzle confirms that active galactic nuclei with supermassive black holes are not only powerful accelerators of electrons, but also of protons — the origin of the observed high-energy neutrinos,” Kovalev said. The research was conducted under the MuSES (Multi-messenger Studies of Energetic Sources) project, which investigates how active galactic nuclei accelerate particles and generate different cosmic signals, including light and neutrinos. Scientists say understanding how protons are accelerated and linked to neutrino production remains one of the major unanswered questions in astrophysics. The findings help explain why some blazars can appear to have slow jets while still producing extremely bright high-energy emissions. More broadly, the study strengthens the link between relativistic jets, magnetic fields, gamma rays and high-energy neutrinos. Researchers say the results provide new clues about how some of the Universe's most powerful natural particle accelerators work and offer important insights for multimessenger astronomy, which combines different types of cosmic signals to study extreme events in space.
