  1. What if the Microsoft leak was on purpose so Sony would reveal their price, and then Microsoft officially comes out with a different, lower one.
  2. I don't know, I haven't played it. Why don't you tell us instead?
  3. That's what I was planning on doing, but I've just checked and it doesn't seem available to rent, only buy.
  4. Is the Sonic movie worth a watch? Even if you've never played Sonic?
  5. I'm being harassed with superfluous words.
  6. I finally joined the 20th century and bought a dishwasher. I don't know what to do with all my spare time now.
  7. I am not a fan of the Craig Bond, but every time they release a new one, I get caught up in the hype. That looks like a damn good film! Hoping it gets released on a streaming service!
  8. Oh look, it's that one game being released again.
  9. We just say 'price' around here guys. No need for any other words.
  10. Agreed. It won't happen again. However, in my defence, it was the author himself who said you could read them in either order, so i thought it would be ok! He just didn't mention that he hadn't finished writing all of them.
  11. I read Dark Matter a couple of years ago and thought it was reasonably good. I guessed some of the plot from the beginning, but it still managed to surprise towards the end. Currently reading the Riyria Revelations. It's a trilogy of books, followed by a prequel trilogy. I Googled the reading order, and read that you could read them in publication order, or chronologically, and it would still make sense. So I started with the first of the prequel books, which was very good. It was then that i found that he is still writing the rest of the prequel books, and so I couldn't just read all of them in one go. So i've had to skip forward to the first of the main trilogy, and i'll have to go back and read the rest of the prequels once they're done. Bit annoyed as the order is all messed up.
  12. Still doing my App based, no equipment exercises each day (give or take a few missed days). It feels really good, and I'm definitely noticing the difference. I'm looking more trim, and I can do most of the exercises I struggled with at the beginning. Still though, the App does take the piss a bit near the end of a training plan. Just when you think you are doing well and keeping up, it ramps the difficulty up just beyond your reach. It's really soul destroying when you have to wimp out of completing a session because it asks just a little bit too much of you.
  13. In my opinion, it's only backwards compatibility if you can put your old disks/cartridges in, or transfer your old digital purchases over and play that way. If you have to buy it again, it's not backwards compatible, they've just re-released an old game. Switch isn't backwards compatible therefore, and neither is PS4 (unless you can play PS3 digital purchases? I don't know). Personally, i don't require it, as i rarely re-play older generation's games, so it wouldn't bother me if PS5 didn't have it.
  14. It's a bit unfair to ask a European to write a Brexit themed game. Poor (lucky) @Sméagol hasn't been mired in this bullshit for the last 5 years.
  15. It's insane that he was diagnosed 4 years ago and didn't tell anyone. Poor guy.
  16. I imagine if@will' has a budget of £5k, he isn't that worried about building it on the cheap. Just buy a pre-built one and let some other chump do all the work.
  17. Just finished watching Season 3 of the Expanse. Damn is that a great show! I held off for a while because I read the first book a while ago and was a bit underwhelmed, but the show is fantastic. Such good sci-fi writing.
  18. Good and bad for me: Working from home has been amazing - I didn't exactly have a bad commute before, but just the ability to order stuff and services to your house and be there for the delivery has been a lifechanger Extra money- we saved so much money in the first month of lockdown. Not going out and doing things, and my wife saving £40 a week on fuel meant that we had almost double what we usually had left over at the end of the month. Talking to family - ironically, i ended up talking to my family way more when we weren't allowed to meet up. Started a weekly video call with my parents and sister, when i was a bit worried about them getting lonely, and it's continued through to today. It's really nice keeping in touch more, when usually I would only talk to them once a month or even less. Cooking/buying food - at the start of lockdown, buying food was a nightmare, but it has slowly changed the way we do it, and i don't think we'll go back. I used to buy the food to cook dinner on my way home from work every day. As a result, i used to go to the supermarket 8-10 times a week. Now, we go once a week, and we've had to plan out the weeks meals, rather than deciding what to have on my way home. It's less flexible, but i think with a baby on the way it makes much more sense. My wife conversely, did not enjoy lockdown as much as I did. She liked spending more time with me, but as a teacher, she couldn't really do her job properly, and ended up getting very depressed being cooped up in our house. The whole baby situation is a bit scary, and quite different to how it would be normally. I've only been allowed in one scan, the rest of the time i'm sat in the hospital car park. My wife hasn't met her midwife, who is currently not answering her phone and refusing to reply to messages. I don't know what the situation will be for the actual birth, but at the moment I'm not allowed in the hospital for the build up to the birth, and only allowed in for the brief period when the baby is born. Then I have to leave again. Our main hobby, travelling, obviously was affected massively this year. We had hoped that we could go on one last trip before the baby arrives, perhaps for a week away in Europe, but we ended up doing two days away in Exmouth instead. Also, our planned trip to France that we had booked with some friends got cancelled, and now we aren't sure if we're ever going to be able to see that money again. Overall for me, it was positive (especially since I don't know anyone who has died from the pandemic, thankfully), but I can imagine that I am very lucky, and there are many more that have had a bit of a shit-show.
  19. Isn't PUBG free to play anyway? Or is it not like Fortnite in that respect?
  20. Americans again huh? I'll add it to the list.
  21. Just Dance 2021 here we goooooooooooooooooo!
  22. Tacos are a mess. Who the hell invented them anyway? Some crazy Mexican who obviously didn't have to clean his own floor, i'm betting. Probably has meet-ups with the inventors of the cream slice and bruschettas to laugh at the mess they're making of everyone's laps.
