Oh, okay, an Outer Worlds sequel actually does justify a trailer as meta as that trailer was, that fits the tone of that game really well. I loved the first one for what it was, I'm all the way down for a sequel.

EDIT: PARVATI BETTER BE IN IT, THOUGH

The description for the announcement video is, "New solar system, new crew, same Outer Worlds.". So I doubt we get anyone 😔

I'm still stoked for a 2nd game though, I really enjoyed the first one.

Other than RTJ4 on loop. 'Rascal' by RMR could be the cover of a generation...

Worked on this off and on for a year. Finally finished.

Who'd you buy in the two seasons so far? I just started another Liverpool game last night and have just got into September. The Champions League group for first season tends to be bad, but this time I have Barcelona, Monaco and Gelsenkirchen, which looks like i'll probably be struggling to finish 2nd in.

I haven't sold anyone yet, but plan to get rid of Lucas next season and bring in someone like Verratti or Pogba to replace them. I brought in Sergio Romero to compete with Mignolet for 2m, then raided Anderlecht for Youri Tielemans, 15m, and Aleksandar Mitrovic, 16m. Was looking to loan them both back to their previous club but they didn't want to be loaned back so I guess they'll be good backup.

So far I've brought in:

Danny Ings (Burnley)

Saido Berahino (West Brom)

Maximilian Meyer (Schalke)

Andreas Cubas (Bocas)

Steven Gerrard (LA Galaxy)

Eder Alvarez Balanta (River)

John Stones (Everton)

Nathanial Clyne (Southampton)

Mendes (Maritimo)

Finished my second season with Liverpool, tweaked the tactics and managed to win the Premier League by 9 points as well as the FA Cup against Everton. I lost Balotelli for 5 months with a broken foot but Saido Berahino became a start and grabbed 35 goals in the season. I also brought Gerrard back after 6 months for 500k and he's now a Player/Coach.

An ok first season for me, finished 3rd in the Premier League, got to the Europa League Final and lost 3-2 to Spurs after they were given a penalty in the last minute from a dive.

Signed Berahino so far for £6m for next season.

So my Liverpool started the season on fire and now we're just burning alive. Cruely knocked out of the CL Group stage after a last minute penalty to Dortmund. Currently 5th in the league after losing 3-1 to United and 3-2 to Everton, not the bets results for a Liverpool manager.

Balotelli is now on 30 goals in January, top scorer in the PL with 18. Reinforcement of the defence is definitely on the cards for next season as Toure is awful, Sakho is great but picks up a lot of cards, and Lovren just isn't hitting his stride. If I can steal Zouma I'd be happy.

Finally picked this up yesterday, I've been on a severe 01/02 binge for years and my last purchase was '12. Started a game as Liverpool just to get a feel for it. Worked through some tactics, decided to go with the HULK SMASH tactic and it's doing wonders for the team, Balotelli has 17 goals in 9 games, Danny Ings (my only singing) has picked up 8 in 15 games. Sturridge is struggling to fit in with the system.

I think Joel Schumacher needs to step upto the plate again.

Finally watched it last night, really enjoyed it for the most part. It's highly unlikely and a long way off but I hope this Banner exile starts to lead to some Planet Hulk/World War Hulk action, plus it'd be a great way to revisit Stark vs Hulk. And in the long run, I'd die for a Thanos Imperative movie.

Overall B level movie, but great set up for the next phase.

Really not impressed. Only one that peaks my interest is their take on Enchantress. DC are doing a great job ruining their own property. I know I shouldn't judge things before the film. But the look and visual tone is half the equation.

Yeh, I'm not big on the new Refused song, too polished and a little underwhelming.

Although in good news today I finally completed my Scream vinyl collection. I've been on the hunt for a good copy of "Your Choice Live Series Vol. 10 - Scream" for a few years and finally found one. I'm happy yet sad it's now complete.

Here he is:

I'm not a fan myself, looks like Joker really wanted to be Ninja from Die Antwoord.

This. On repeat. For a long time.

I've never had an issue playing offline. I'm often playing offline on flights via steam as pretty much all my games run through it. Looking on the GDS forum I was surprised how many E-License purists there are on there and the fear of getting negative criticism on Steam. I know they're niche market games, but business wise it makes sense to open up to the bigger markets. You may not get glowing reviews from everyone but it certainly opens up some nice opportunities for the likes of WMMA.

Glad GDS has started moving games to Steam, seems a shrewd business move. I've always felt the E-License system was a little outdated. Hopefully this opens them up to an even bigger casual market. Just need to get the GUI a bit more polished and it could do wonders.

Fort Minor - The Rising Tied

The side project (noticing a pattern yet?) of Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park. Rising Tied was his rap album, and it is fantastic. There's a nice mix of different songs in there, and whilst every one doesn't hit home, it's an incredibly solid album. Best track is "Where'd You Go", which features Holly Brook (better known these days as Skylar Gray).

That track also featured Jonah Matranga on it from Far / onelinedrawing / Gratitude. Shinoda is a massive Far fan.

As for some of my favourites one album wonders:

Rites of Spring - S/T

Probot - S/T

New Radicals - Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too

The Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols

Jeff Buckley - Grace

The Avalanches - Since I Left You

Monsters Of Folk - S/T

Minor Threat - Out of Step

The Germs - G.I.

Operation Ivy - Energy

KILL YOUR MOTHER, RAPE YOUR DOG!

I'm going to the Mongolia/East Timor game on Tuesday, no real point now they've been dicked by a team below them. But should still be fun regardless.

A sad sad day, being at +8 GMT I got the news just as I was browsing twitter before going to bed. I was for a good few hours after contemplating the loss. I've the vast majority of Discworld books at my parents house in the UK, I've even got the original Discworld PC Box game somewhere. I remember my primary school was filled with Roald Dahl and then Terry Pratchet took the helm for most of my adolescent life. His wit and humour helped shape mine. As the great man said, 'He said that there was death and taxes, and taxes was worse, because at least death didn't happen to you every year.'

And also, my favourite line of all time:

'Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.'

I'll be having a good look this weekend.

I've got a massive garbage issue at the moment, didn't realise I had to send trash from the landfills to the incinerators so now they're full and I'm trying to juggle it all across while handling 12k populations trash.

If anyone else wants it and you don't want to worry about using a reseller GMG have it for under $22 here

Edit. Also if you're playing on a laptop and have an Nvidia card then you need to load the game, quit it, go into the Nvidia control panel and make your graphics card is set to run the game. Nvidia haven't released a profile for Skylines so by default your computer tries to run it using your processor.

I was wondering why it was running choppy as hell.

I'm seeing Hawkwind and Bastard Noise (sadly not on the same bill) in Tokyo in 4 weeks, and also these guys, Shibusashirazu Orchestra:

How I've missed cities with actually good gigs on.

So you don't like ...And Justice For All or the Black Album? I thought the Black Album was their last great album. (Sure, they have had great songs since, but not great overall albums)

*edit* Funny thing is, when I DJ (I DJ online for 2 hours 2 nights a week), most of the Metallica requests I get are for songs off Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets and the Black Album. I've been doing it for about 3 years, and have never had a request for anything off St. Anger or Death Magnetic. And I never get requests for anything off Reload other than Fuel.

Black Album had some high points but I always felt they lost something when Burton died.
