Played my share of the alpha, had myself a great time. Not sure if anyone can view this, but here goes https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=544525348989890 Making the most of the view before it closes. Admiring my handywork.

Nice impressive list of games, so far i'm interested in the following The Last of Us Remastered - July* Destiny - September* NBA 2K15 - October DriveClub - October Assassin's Creed Unity - October* Far Cry 4 - November And some possible PS+ games over the course of the period as well. It's going to be expensive, may even move one or two. Probably move Far Cry and maybe NBA over to different months, depending on finances. *Pre-ordered already.

Happy Birthday, have a great day

Sign me up.

I got an alpha access, even though i don't recall signing up for it. I did put my Beta code into the Bungie site, so i guess access came from that (and i did sign-up outside of the time frame for Alpha access). It's not too bad so far, quite enjoying it.

Hope so, best of luck. Hope you get the job.

Did anyone else get an email from GAME at some point in June? Turns out as they were going on the stock market, they were giving to 20,000 people £100 Virtual Stock Loyalty points and i was fortunate to get one. After chatting to the staff, i get 6 chances to cash in to get back £100 (minimum) in points to use on any purchase i wish. Not too shabby.

Slight bump (i think) Had 2 very different days of work on Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday, we had a meeting to discuss the future of the department and how things may be in 6 years time. It was put on by senior management of the department, whom i might add gave a very good presentation on how things may be. After the 40 minute presentation (bearing in mind, we had 2 1/2 hours off the phones for this) we were split into groups of 7 and had a manager sit down with each group and discuss what they think can be improved with the jobs. Well, you can see where this went. More importantly, the manager i had wasn't any ordinary manager. But the head of the entire department i work in, so i know it was a perfect chance to let rip a few greivences (and yes, they even said this was allowed). They were shocked to hear how bad things really are at the front line. Shocked to hear how bad staff are treated (this is across all departments, not just mine) and shocked to hear of the long waiting times customers experience and how angry they get. More so to the point, the senior manager will personally be looking into improving things. I've already seen that, more staff are being pulled over to help out (had 200+ in the queue with a 40+ minute wait for a 5 minute call today). But yeah, it was nice to air a few things outside of the department. But then, back to today. Had 2 official complaints put against me by customers, they said i was not helpful and was fobbing them off. My manager has not listened to the call yet (probably won't, she's not very good at her job). I did point out that both customers were abusive towards me, i was even called a "complete an utter useless bastard" by one, very charming. Mood back to usual standards.

I've been to Disneyland Paris many times, twice with my parents and once with the school (probably the better trip). I've got many fond memories of the place, so i'm happy you had a great time with the family creating memories that will last a lifetime* *Sorry, seems to be a quote Disney give the park themselves.

That atmosphere makes it all the more better, watching the trailer yesterday certainly made me think twice about the game. Bring on 20th February.

There's a few videos on Youtube after having a quick look.

I watched this earlier. Damn, that was a fine conference. Just looking at what was on offer, a new LBP, more stuff on the Order. Plenty of new IP's and Indie games being made, more cross-plaform* Vita/PS4 games. *I like this idea, something Nintendo should bring in for 3DS/Wii-U titles. I've got Pixelshooter on the Vita and PS4 (free on PS+), very enjoyable playing a few levels at home then more whilst on the train to and from work. And using saves via the Cloud, very nice. But, with so many games coming for the PS4/Vita i don't know what to choose to get. So much choice, so little time.

This does look very nice indeed, wonder how far into 2015 it will be for release? Graphically, the style suits the game.

It does actually look to be a lot of fun, one to keep an eye on i think.

Yeah, same here. This could have been shown last year and maybe something additional this year. Still, i'm happy. Looks like a nice art style to go for.

Going onto my E3 predictions for Nintendo, and what was seen. More information on Zelda for the WiiU, revealing a cross between sailing and horse riding Nice to see Zelda on show, nice art style as well. But if that's all we got to see this year, i'm a little worried. That could have been shown last year really. New Metroid Still, E3's not over yet. Could be revealed, who knows. News on F-Zero Still, E3's not over yet. Could be revealed, who knows. Majoras Mask 3DS confirmed So far, no news. E3's not over yet so i'm still holding out hope. A new franchise Yes, we've got a game called "Splatoon". Looks interesting, and i'll look into that more. A re-launch of how Nintendo think*, with a re-launch of the WiiU. What was i thinking Overall, not a bad digital presentation. A few things went on too long, like Smash and Yoshi. That figurine thing, sorry bit of a money-grabber really. That won't sell Wii U consoles, which is what they want to do. A good 2015 (if all the games come out then). But for 2014, still looks a little shaky.

I've always enjoyed the Rainbow Six tactical-based shooter, so seeing that yesterday was enjoyable and something i'll be interested in getting. That, and Far Cry are probably the only shooter-style games i'm interested in from E3 this year. Not got an interest in Call of Duty or Battlefield.

Is that what Sony done with the Vita?. Oh well, there's plenty for me to get on with. Plenty of digital titles coming (which are cross-platform with PS4/PS3 - Sony's idea of pay once, play across all systems is good) and as Cube said regarding PS+ games on here, yeah i'm fine with that as well. The Vita is such an underrated machine, i'm surprised it has not sold well at all. I've not seen the Sony conference yet, i'll be watching it this evening. But i guess from facebook and Twitter, they've had a good one this year again.

Ubisoft so far have done a good job on it's conference. Showcased a few games i've got an interest in. Other than that, only seen Microsoft's conference and a round-up of EA's via Francis. Microsoft's was a bit meh, as gaggle said they've only confirmed more really. Fable Legends however looks cack, Lionhead have ruined the series beyond.

It was decent at best i thought. I knew it wasn't going to be huge like last years one. I mean, what are Lionhead thinking with Fable Legends. It looks turd, horrible and not appealing to me. And this is coming from a fan of the series. Call of Duty and Halo don't exactly interest me either, played Halo 4 thought it was decent compared to the original. Making a nice collection for release this holiday season however seems a good idea, especially for fans of Halo 2 multiplayer. Oh well, bring on the next ones.

The name is terrible still, but i kind of understand it a little seeing as you can recruit 4 friends to go through co-op mode.

I've not seen a Wii or a 360 advert since, well last year around November. I guess Sony want to advertise the PS3 still, but the only advert i've seen concerns the FIFA World Cup and not much else (i think this game is last-gen only, not current-gen). Nothing like getting a few extra sales on last-gen consoles. As it's been said, the last gen has a shed load of great games to play to cover all genres. A good time to get a last-gen console, you'll never get board. All that cheap gold just waiting to be played. I've seen PS4 adverts as well, last one was around the launch of Watch Dogs. No

This has shocked me, 56 is no age to go. He was a part of my teenage years, with the likes of Bottom and Drop Dead Fred (a classic). R.I.P.

Just had a look to see if there was any time i could take off, alas not to be. Oh well, back to original plan of catch-up once i get home.

I couldn't get the time off work, so the plan is to catch-up with Microsofts conference when i get home on Monday. Join in the N-Europe chit-chat for the Ubisoft event at 11pm. Then on Tuesday, catch-up with both Sony's and Nintendo's events (of course, avoiding spoilerz as best i can). I know, i could call in "sick". But i'm saving that for July.
