Shopto sent me an email saying that Jax and Daxter codes are not valid until the 23rd, just in case the game arrives early.

And adding Rise of the Tomb Raider to the list of completed games. Overall, a good sequel.

It's been a long time coming, but i finally finished Pokemon Soul Silver (including the Kanto League). Going back to a Pokemon game after the improvements in later games, it's a tougher experience. But all good fun none the less, which is what i like. How i normally play these is thus, i choose anything up to 3 last gen Pokemon for my team and the rest is made of Pokemon new to the game.

Season 3 of Walking Dead on sale for £9.99 and Guardians for £11.99. That's not a bad price, however i'll hold out until pay day me thinks.

I honestly thought they were the special stages to get the Emeralds. Seems the tokens unlock stuff, which is a nice touch. I'm in love with this game, playing a Sonic game this fun again sends me back to my childhood. The updated music is just, well words can't describe it really.

Preloaded Sonic Mania on the PS4, 1 day 5 hours (and something) until it unlocks. That includes the 3 themes too. Probably taking my Vita to work on Tuesday, hook it to the internet and get more Sonic in during lunch.

That would depend on if i retained memories of the games and consoles i played in the past. If that was the case, i'd go back to the GameCube. It was the perfect home console, it had the ability (via a massive adapter) to play Gameboy games* on the big screen also. It also had a fantastic gaming library, including the entire Prime trilogy, Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine and it had Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes. *Some SNES and NES titles were available on the Gameboy Advance, so i'd have a library of these titles available to play also If i had no memories of gaming past, i'd just go in at the current level and get either a Switch, PS4 or Xbox One. I mean, i'd have no memories of it.

I went back onto Assassin's Creed Syndicate the other week, as i realised i never finished the DLC "The Last Maharaja" and "Jack the Ripper". The Ripper DLC was probably the better of the 2 if i'm honest, the Maharaja was more of the same from Syndicate if i'm honest.

Spookily.............i already own it on the Vita from a sale a few years back.

It's unfortunate that attendance will be low this year, but i had a feeling it might have been. I'd have come along this year myself, however i'm trying to save up for a deposit (more so now than before). Plus, it doesn't help that i've not had a proper pay rise in years and it's finally just hitting my pocket. Luckily, i don't have anything on my credit card to pay off. For those going, i hope you have a great time none the less and the weather holds up.

Had a bit of spare money left over, so decided to pre-purchase all my pre-orders on Shopto. Did also raid the PSN Summer sale, and bought Also bought The Witness as well And finally, not as such a purchase. More a prize from a competition i entered And that's about it for the year, bar Destiny 2, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Horizon's DLC. Oh, and i also bought some new jeans, a few new t-shirts and a pair of shoes out of my birthday monies.

Launching November 7th (inc Europe)

If Microsoft can do it with the Xbox One (even though at one point they themselves said it wasn't possible), i'm sure it's possible for Sony to do it with the PS4. Who knows really.

@Hero-of-Time Maybe Sony might allow PS Now games to be downloaded to the PS4, for those whose internet isn't speedy or reliable enough to run the service. I'd have jumped on PS Now if downloads were available of the titles.

What i'd like (and i'm not sure if many would agree on this) is if the PS3 part of PS+ ended, which it's likely to seeing as their can't be that many games left to provide for a console that has recently stopped being produced. What i'd like to see is possibly 1 or 2 PS Now games included for PS+ subs per month and/or a big PS4 title and a smaller indie game (i don't complain about the PS4 indie game offerings on PS+, it gave me a chance to play games i'd never have thought about playing before). If the service remains the same, then i can fully understand why people are upset over the increase.

Not a lot in August thenPoor wallet Out of that list, got Sonic Mania and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy ordered.

You can still get subs for sub £40, so i'd stock up as subs can be stacked up.

If only they fixed Just Cause 3's frame rate issues, i'd be right back on it.

It sucks, but what can you do about it. Only sure fire way is to vote with your wallet and not pay. I honestly thought it was an increase as they were adding PS Now to the sub, but it's not. Luckily i bought a sub on the e3 sale, so i'm good until 2018.

I use Flikr, seems ok as a host for images.

First of the unreleased levels has released on PSN, this one is Stormy Ascent. Free until August 19th i believe.

Decent opener, wasn't expecting too much to happen. I still think The Hound is one of the better characters in the show. Sheerans cameo (if if can be called that), he stood out a bit. And was bland in comparison to the extras they had next to him.

I'll be editing this post once i get home to add some photos. There's a new school being built right by the old Comprehensive, so a few people organised and advertised what was to be the biggest reunion of former pupils before they tear the old Comp down. So, decided to pop along and see what's what. Was certainly nice to be able to wander around and rekindle the good (and some bad) memories. Even saw one of my old mates taking various things, he said it was all going to be thrown out so help yourself. He had 3 beakers, a Bunsen burner and a lab coat. People were writing on the walls, doors and all the boards they could find just in case anyone they may have missed would see it. They had memory books for people to write comments in. For me, what was quite nostalgic was when i returned to my old form room after 16 years. Was in the room seconds when some of my old classmates came up, and one of the old teachers also. Certainly bought back memories, and a tear. It's not that i don't see them anymore, it was just nostalgic. It's a shame it's to be torn down, but then it was build in the late 50's (total of 3 additional buildings were built, 1 has gone to make room for the new school. And the newest building is also the most unsafe, so no-one went in after someones foot went through the rotten floorboard. The new school opens in September, the old school starts to be demolished later this year. Some snaps
