  1. I was driving yesterday so didn't drink, but did have some Manny State beers (Brewdog 0.5%) and they were OK.
  2. In that case, I redact my statement to say 'whichever is the somewhat current Tegra.
  3. Release Tegra 2 edition and carry on as before. There was the report of the two new SKUs going into development.
  4. Really shitty about the car but I know I found, after getting used to it, walking to work was so much better than commuting. The only downside is leaving the house earlier and when it rains.
  5. I really liked Breath of the Wild, like most people, but it would be nice to have a more structured approach and story for a sequel. Although as mentioned, I would prefer a 'sequel' which uses the engine and location, but isn't an exact follow on.
  6. I'm doing my best to read children's literature along with regular reading material, so I went with Northern Lights and it's great. Really enjoying it (and will read the series, so long as I can polish them off by the 10th of July so I can borrow from our school's library).
  7. After watching Killing Eve Season 1 (a definite 9.5/10) Season 2 has released and so far, it's been great. Phoebe Waller Bridge is a great writer of things that are so odd, yet routed in some basis of reality.
  8. I'm sure I'm the minority on here, but I have so many games that are carried over from 2017/18 to play, not counting the few releases from this year I'm interested in (and help me if I end up buying a Switch for either my birthday or Christmas this year).
  9. Unless this reviews spectacularly, I feel like a 'quick look' will be all I will need from the game.
  10. My plan this week is to finish off RDR2, Breath of the Wild and if I can be bothered, Hellblade (I'm about 1/3 of the way through I think, though it's been about a year since I played it).
  11. I had a decent Monday work-wise, however I have no enthusiasm to work my evening job this week. I just really, really want to leave it now, not in 6 weeks time.
  12. Apostle: 8.5/10. A good bit of Netflix horror playing out like a mixture of The Villlage, The Wickerman and Pans Labyrinth. Not the best ever, but very solid.
  13. The first game is on the list to have a go at over the summer. It's one of those situations where all the reviews are overall positive, but I can't see it looks that inspiring to me.
  14. As the title suggests, what games do you remember watching someone else play, or on the flip side, have had other people happy to watch you play and not felt an incredible sense of boredom or frustration that you weren't both playing, or doing literally anything else. Resident Evil games are always fantastic games to be enjoyed passively. With RE7, my partner really enjoyed coming along for the ride, without actually playing the game. I've also enjoyed similar experiences with RE2 (on the N64 of all things) and REmake on the Gamecube. I think it's the length and the potential collaboration for puzzles, mixed in with some good old morbid curiosity. The Zelda games (bar Breath of the Wild) are also in a similar mould for the same reasons. The last that I can think of, although a very 'time and place' situation was GTA3. My best friend picked it up at release (so he was 12, I was 11) and I quite happily watched him play that, mixed in with using his laptop for an entire weekend.
  15. I always enjoy E3 and will more than likely watch the Giant Bomb coverage for Nintendo and then Youtube for the remainder. I can't say I've actively looked forward to one since Breath of the Wild was first shown.
  16. Red Dead Redemption 2. I’m on Chapter 6 so doing my best to see of the main game this weekend. I do feel I won’t get the most out of it, like most open games, I play for the story and aim to finish all the main missions, but games like this need the kind of commitment I only had when I was in my early/mid teens and could commit weeks to 100% competing things like Wind Walker.
  17. I'm guessing with their current playbase and then those that joined with it being free on PS+ mean a 'yes'.
  18. As we live in a world where people are working longer hours than their parents, work from home on a more regular basis, are electronically connected to work 24/7 and socially have more pressure than ever to be busy, how do you unwind? It could be 5 minutes of complete downtime, away from doing anything or something more substantial. The main thing for me is to clean and tidy. If I've sorted my house and garden to the point where I feel that it's satisfactory, I can then relax in a number of ways (reading, games, movies, television, drawing, guitar) but if everything around me is dishevelled, I really struggle to settle and concentrate. Exercise is another great way, normally running to something guitar driven. It gives me the chance to only concentrate on where I'm going and the immediate area around me. Walking the dog and specifically listening to the Giant Bomb/Beastcast is also a favourite. There's something about the familiar voices mixed in with gaming news and some fun that puts me in a great place and the mild exercise and enjoying spending time with my Dog is lovely. So, all of the above are horribly cliched, but it helps keep me on a level playing field. As a bonus question, do you think you take enough time out of the week for yourself? Between working at school and an office, seeing friends and family, spending time with my partner and doing some general life admin, I can't say that I do. Even when I leave both jobs in August, I'll be moving into a lifestyle that will be as consuming, though only in the single profession which will help.
  19. I played through half of Silent Hill maybe 7 or 8 years ago (with the help of a guide) and it was still pretty playable, maybe not from a gameplay perspective but the tone and story held up. I haven't played any of the other games, bar the odd go and feel I really should going by my love for horror in general. It's a shame the HD ports of 2&3 are reportedly terrible and Shattered Memories is quite expensive. Here's hoping Konami start to lose money so start getting on the remaster bandwagon.
  20. About two years ago, I had a chicken burger with peanut butter, soy and ginger and it was fantastic. I agree 100% with your posting(s)
  21. Despite my usual tastes, I've really enjoyed all the MGS games and I'm pretty sure I will enjoy this despite not knowing anything about it. It's actually quite refreshing to not know much about an upcoming release for the first time in a very long time.
