This is turning into one of the worst years. Like others have said, hadn't seen him post in a while. So thought nothing of it, but this news is shocking to say the least. R.I.P Yesteryeargames. You will be missed.

Talking about talking about the internet
Jimbob replied to dan-likes-trees's topic in General Chit Chat
The internet is always there these days, so going "on the internet" isn't a saying for me. It's mainly "check Google" or "Go on social media" The phrases "going on the internet, logging on etc" are 90's/early 2000's stuff. Mostly when we had the ol 56k connections. The ones where you had to basically cut the phone off to access online services. Where it was per minute costs, instead of a fixed price. It's quite frightening how many people have come to rely on smartphones, and keep looking at them over a face to face conversation. Yesterday, i saw a family get-together in my local. Everyone was looking at their phones instead of talking, and it wasn't for 5 minutes. I still prefer a face to face conversation, but i am prone to checking my phone on occasions. I do access the internet out and about, and it's readily available at home either via the PC/laptop or my phone. I think i'm in the generation that can still hold conversations, but yet has the technology for instant internet access whenever, wherever. You do see many younger people using phones consistently, and i do feel the art of the conversation is lost with them. On the subject though, today marks 10,000 days of the Internet. -
PlayStation store has a 60% Summer sale on.

Hope Nintendo don't re-release all Virtual Console games, and expect everyone to pay again for the same games. Hopefully they'll be "updated" for free for everyone whom currently owns them. And have a full library available at launch. As for this idea of the NX, sounds interesting. However, i can't see it being portable. Would have to be a significant size if it's incorporating detachable controllers. If it's a hybrid design, maybe it lets you upload the game to a controller and it goes with you as a portable machine (like the Vita). I can't see the entire console being portable, especially if it's got 2 detachable controllers.

Looks great, looks like the Sonic we've been waiting for. And also a possible Generations 2, which i can't wait for.

Went to Weymouth last week on a weeks holiday, that the other 1/2 paid for. She decided to book it up as a present for my 30th birthday. Was a great week, definitely chose the right week weather-wise too (and right before the school holidays). Loved the entire week, perfect company and overall a great time. Did see a classic steam locomotive pulling into the station, and did visit several places on the trip away.

Went to Weymouth last week with the other 1/2 (surprise 30th present from her to me), was surprising to see so many Pokestops, Gyms and different types of Pokemon in comparison to where i normally play Go. Managed to add about 20 Pokemon, evolve 3 and conquer 2 gyms. Did catch a Dratini whilst there, much to the annoyance of a few kids whom were trying to catch it themselves.

Perfect nostalgia at Christmas, would be interested in what price Nintendo will sell it in the UK/EU.

It is, the bad thing it took 3 hours to get through to the bank.

Raised an issue with my bank, spotted 2 payments going out which i am unaware of. Contacted the bank, they've cancelled and refunded the amounts.

Never played Gravity Rush, question is which version to play. PS4 or Vita (both on sale on PSN at the moment)

That seems about right from my memory. The non-character missions are usually symbols.

I'd be happy with either a new Sonic Adventure, Sonic Generations 2 or back to the roots with another 2.5D Sonic like 4. As gimmick-free as possible, just focus on the speed.

Always wanted to reply Bioshock, now i can without digging out the 360.

Now that's a great line-up.

Could sabotage it, and then people wouldn't ever know it's home time. And they work forever.

As it was Sonic's 25th Anniversary last week, i thought i'd play a few games. First up was Sonic the Hedgehog. I decided as it was the 25th Anniversary, i'd fire up the Mega Drive and play it on there. Played well, ok had an issue getting a picture to begin with. But got it going, and ultimately had a great time. Completely forgetting you can't Spin Dash (been playing the 3DS version too much). Did the game in about 1 1/2 hours. And finally, Sonic Advance. Played it on Saturday to and from Swansea on the train, completed it. Not as fun as i remember it being, but still was great none the less. Found the Chao garden on the cart, and completely forgot how to feed the Chao.
