I'm willing to bet they dispatch on monday, as they send second class, only occasionally recorded.

Youre right - monday the 16th :p

Not preordering anything on play.com again, had to wait several days for my GTA SE to come

Audio, got a question.

Like in the old Metal Gears, you were constantly moving back and forth between many of the same areas, is it still like this?

No, constant forward progression in comparison to what old titles were like. You've got to remember as we've been told, there are various places of visit. You all know Act1 as it's the only place shown by Konami publicly. I'm saying this as we know what old MGS games are like where the whole game basically takes part in one main "map".

Not saying anymore, you'll see :p

And OMFG.

Jaw on floor.

I think im nearing the end, but :o :|

This game is smothered in fan service. The writer of the Eurogamer review, not really for the score, but for what he wrote, is definitely NOT a big MGS fan.

Easily surpasses GTA4 so far for me - I am a big MGS fan though.

Thing is I haven't actually completed GTA4 yet to see the ending, and I've yet to see the ending of MGS4, but that's how it stand just now fyi.

That looks awesome!

Did you print it on card?

Are you seeing at as more of an 8/10 than 9+?

I'm not giving out my score until the game is out for everyone.

But take the hint from my post in the right way, did it sound like I was underwhelmed? ;)

When I mentioned Eurogamer what I was trying to say was, I couldn't care less what the guy wants to score it, but what he actually wrote in his review, makes me easily see the fact he cannot possibly be a big MGS fan.

I'm with ya. You do sound like you are really enjoying it though.

Would it be a spoiler to ask how many hours you have put into it?

I'll tell you when I'm finished.

I think it will be tonight, probably anyway.

It's gotta be around 20 or over 20 now. Might be more?

Thanks ;) Printed on glossy "Photo Paper Pro" which is quite thick.

Not sure what this is all about, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

      I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
