Well we were told we could discuss leaked games, just not how/where they are obtained.

Ok well I will clarify, don't post screenshots, even if they are not yours to torrent applications with torrent filenames and IP addresses in them. Discussion is fine :)

Posting a link to another site with an article or image is fine, lets just not help to promote it on here by showing filenames, and tracker info please.

Moving on from horse porn. :rofl:

Do we know any of the prices for the Supermarkets yet?

Me and friends have put down pre-orders in Asda since we had a hoot of a time buying MW2 last year, by 12 the queue was from one end of the shop to the other, and then into the freezer section, lol.

For MW2 release i was on night shifts that week, me and a mate went over to Asda got there 10 to midnight and had queues one end to the other... back again down the next aisle and then halfway back towards the door again. I highly suspect they will do the same again, will see if i can pull up some info from old Morrisons colleagues ;)

That Gun Game footage looks pretty good! It's not something I would play all the time, but it would be a riot to play every now and then. I want to see some One in the Chamber footage though. Curious to see how that plays out in an actual situation.

I'm contemplating pre-ordering this one from Best Buy. In Canada, they're giving $10 worth of Reward Zone points if you pre-order this. I know I'm going to use those points sooner or later, since I shop at Best Buy all the time (for better or worse), so it's tempting...

It does look good, it's an extremely popular game-mode - I remember a ton of servers back in the CS days were Gun Game servers. But yeah, wager matches aren't something people will be playing all the time. I think it's meant as a pace changer between the core modes and it'll be perfect. Just hope there's some way of increasing the odds friends will be put against each other in wager matches, just know there won't be a party mode per say as that would leave the game open for massive boosting.

What really impresses me is the sounds. Finally they decided to spend some time implementing proper sounds with some punch, sick of those old tinny, weak sounds.

Haven't been this hyped about a game in a very long time, looks like it's what MW2 should have been (Y)

I think that's the right way to look at it. I can see myself playing wager matches when I have ten minutes to spare here and there, or if I get bored/frustrated with the core modes. Even as a diversion though, it seems like it's decently varied. One in the Chamber and Gun Game should both be quite fun. I'll have to see some footage of Sticks and Stones and Sharpshooter before I can make an assessment on those. Sticks and Stones will either be fun or infuriating depending on how good people get with the Tomahawk.

Kinda funny though, I was a hardcore CS:S player back in its heyday (2004-2006 mostly) and I have never played Gun Game before. I must have been hanging out with the wrong people.

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
