Have you tried Immortals Fenyx Rising? It looks like a children's game, it's really not. I really enjoyed it, the world was varied, the story solid enough and the combat flowed well.

Yes I think I own that on the Switch, I believe I brought it during the pandemic along with a boat load of other stuff that I have never played.

GTA Vice City is my favourite game in the franchise. For me, it had the best radio stations. I actually listened to pretty much all of them, and I have a stronger connection to that era of music because my mum always had the radio on when I was growing up.

With the other GTA games, I’d usually just skip between a few stations that played mostly ’80s and some ’90s tunes. Vice City was the one where I genuinely enjoyed listening to almost everything on the radio.

@MistahChimp I was just talking to someone about that today, the lockdown/pandemic. I didn't know about it at the time because diplomatic travel was still frequent so we were never grounded. It took catching Covid to know that the world was on lockdown. We had places to be and no one wanted to tell me because I'd freak out, which is true I would have. From talking to enough people it seems like the pandemic birthed many new gamers. Why aren't you asleep do you also have insomnia? I'm still paws deep in my game. I finally met a boss I can't beat yet, so I'm doing the story and I have miles to go before I sleep, or rather I'll keep going for one more hour then turn in. Fenyx almost had a sequel, but Ubisoft in their grand wisdom decided to cancel it, then tell people to get used to not owning what they pay for. They did update Wildlands though so at least they are trying.

  • Edit: I see you editing/adding more in real-time so I'll add along.

  • Mine too, I said the exact same thing today/yesterday to that Norwegian man who's name I'm not even going to try to spell because I'll get it wrong. I was talking about V-Rock but I liked everything else from A Flock of Seagulls, Corey Hart, Kate Bush (obviously) Laura Branigan to Hall & Oates and Yes. Eighties music is just great in general and Vice City tapped hard into so many movies that I do admire. I tried to like Five, I just couldn't relate to it. We have this thing in Russia where the further East you go the further towards the Eighties you land. I was in a club once in Vladivostok and I could swear they played the entire Vice City soundtrack, it was almost every song from those stations. I didn't hear much Western Pop growing up, mostly just Russian versions of those same names and a lot of TaTu. Which was really strange because when I got to London and saw they too had reached England, it was just so unexpected, especially because they were singing in English. They did quite well in England/Europe too, shows and things too.

  • With Grand Theft Auto Three I liked everything from the Classical station because I adore Mozart, Verdi and Puccini, they needed some Vivaldi, I have eight-hundred of his pieces/tracks listened to already this month. I love Classical music but also like the Giorgio Moroder tracks.

Also the song 'Fade Away'.

It didn't feel like a Grand Theft song, it felt more personal, I think that's when they were really experimenting.

No I don't have insomnia, I'm just in the middle of prepping for my studying tomorrow and I thought I come on and see if anything was going on.

  • Okay good you don't need it, mine comes and goes but it's dictated by jetlag too, I'm ill at the moment too which makes it easier to sleep thankfully. If not I'd probably be awake until four in the AM talking to random people in Deepweb chatrooms, which sounds spooky. It's really not, I know a lot of people over there and we talk games, movies, music just like here. Other than this site I don't really use the surface-web. I was over there before here, even having search engines is odd, we don't index, it's who and what you know. I was steered here to talk to 'normal people', I'm not sure that there is such a thing and yet it keeps life interesting.
