So sorry for the loss @@Raining_again, hopefully Sparky gets better soon. And sorry to hear about Banjo @Josh64. The town where i live (Caldicot), there are a quite a few people whom have commented on the state of the town in terms of shops and what is actually being done to improve things. It seems that we have quite a number of empty premises (but to be fair, it's similar in places like Newport and other towns across the UK). It's a shame to see the town decline so much in recent times, people are blaming Asda for killing the town. But ultimately, it's the landlords and the council whom are at fault (high rents meaning no shop can set-up). We're going to lose a shop that has been in town for over 20 years because the landlord decided to boot them out because Domino's Pizza wants it. Now, going back to earlier a bit. Some empty places have been converted to take-aways, which to be honest as much as i like a take-away, there are too many as it is. So with this news that this shop is being booted out due to landlord greed and Domino's, i put a post on the community facebook page saying if people are unhappy about what's going on to do something about it. Which is what i did. I wrote to my MP, Councillor and AM over the state of the town. A few others have also, and we've all got replies back. Heck, my Councillor popped over today to have a chat, except i'm in work and no-one was there. What we're hoping is that by getting Ministers involved (we have a Town Team whom help arrange fund raisers and try and get the town more lively again) we can get some change done. For a town i've lived in for over 20 years, i hate to see it go into further disarray.

Also as a pre-order bonus, you get a copy of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy on the same day It's up on Shopto at least.

When i was made redundant years ago, we were told if we sourced a new job in the notice period of redundancy that they would waive the notice period and allow us to start as soon as possible. It happened to a few people, with no issues.

Nostalgia is the word here, it's good as it brings back memories of playing Banjo Kazooie for the first time again. It's fresh, however it's not by all means a perfect game. I got a more detailed opinion in the Yooka Laylee thread.

I had a few hours on it last night.

There was a sale, it was down to £29.99. With reward points, got it for £25.

I got too many games on my backlog to even count, it's grown recently due to a purchase of Mafia 3 and then Yooka Laylee arrived in the post today.

Arrived this morning. I'm still getting used to Sunday deliveries.

Picked up in the sale Mafia 3 Deluxe Edition Persona 4 Golden Grow Up Arcade Game Series

Beauty and the Beast Sophie wanted to see it, i thought it was pretty good. Stayed faithful to the original animated Disney movie, which is a good thing. Oh, and it had Emma Watson in 9/10

If you use the Tear Arrows on the Thunderjaw, you can use it's own weapons to your advantage. I fought that one by Meridian, had the help of 3 Carja's from Meridian but i got it down eventually.

Always knew this generation of VR wouldn't take off, it'll be the next generation that'll be the turning point.

According to the latest emails, kickstarter orders are being shipped. With some arriving as of yesterday (5th)

Some great games in the sale, was looking to get the season pass for Walking Dead season 3. But, i think i'll wait until the full game is out before buying still.

Thought i'd share some Horizon snaps to keep things moving, mostly scenery snaps.

Have just this minute completed Horizon: Zero Dawn. What a game, what an experience. Gave my thoughts in the Horizon thread, but all i can say is this is one fine piece of work.

And that is Horizon: Zero Dawn complete What can i say, what a game. Excellent story, great characters. I echo Hero of Time, this is a game that reminds me why i play video games. It's got great game-play mechanics, great graphics and to top it a great soundtrack.

Bump The Hall of Fame induction ceremony was as great as ever, but i feel they cut Teddy Long and Kurt Angle down as the previous inductees dragged on a bit. But a nice moment to hear Kurt's great entrance music once more. Just watched Wrestlemania 33. What can i say, thoughts are below

PSN have a digital "Buy One, get One Free" sale on at the moment. Decent number of games available, shame i "own" 1/2 through PS+

Jimquisition is like marmite, you either loathe or like him. Doing this about Yooka Laylee isn't a wise move, and his Zelda review was painful to watch (and i'm saying that with politeness). Out of not wanting to spoil the game for myself, i've not seen many videos as i want to go in as fresh as possible.

Not heard of a single one. I'll give them a bash as i always do, i mean if it wasn't for PS+ i'd never have played some cracking independent/low budget titles over the last 3 1/2 years.

I had it pre-ordered for 20% off on PSN, downloaded it in work and played an hour before i went to bed. It's a lot of fun, very simple gameplay.

I use a mix of the Sharpshot and Hunter bow, with a few mods. Now and again, i do jump on using the War bow with the Corruption arrows to help in some battles.
