For me this isn't the future of entertainment but hey, it's there if you want it Sony set to go big with virtual reality on PlayStation 4 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-09-03-sony-set-to-go-big-with-virtual-reality-on-playstation-4

I recommend ChessNetwork on Youtube, the uploader Jerry has lots of different series about tactics, puzzles and famous games as well as bullet tournaments he takes part in, which are usually pretty entertaining. You'll learn the general principles, names of moves etc etc but the only way to get good at chess is to practice. LOADS.

Ah, the appeal to tradition.

I'm willing to bet that isn't final.

I've started Number9Dream (Stranger in a Strange Land is on hold)

@Daft once recommended me a Chess book on Tumblr but I didn't ever get round to acquiring it.

United were painful to watch. As has been said they were crying out for a creative midfielder, or hell even a winger who can take players on. We don't have those. Nobody was finding the space between the opposition's midfield and defence for link up play. Same situation with Chelsea and I know both teams played defensively against us but we didn't create any golden opportunities in either match, which is a major concern. Ashley Young is wank, as is Nani, Anderson should've been put in the centre because he likes to drive forward and he puts himself about. Miserable. Completely agree with Flink about Giggs. Nobody else in the top 5 would feature him in their starting line-up. Why are we? It's a joke. Grumble grumble.

I'd be very happy if they released CiT on PS+. Plus has been very useful for a few games and has already proved great value for money, but it has also reminded me how picky I am with games now. I don't touch 90% of the stuff that comes out on the service.

I might just have to buy the sweet fuck outta this.

I'd say so.

Their product is tight yo.

Errr ma gerrrr I ment teh Super verzion! You so silleee!

Only teasing. You should try Stardust if you've got a PS3. It's not a constant bullet-frenzy shooter like you've got stuck in your head, instead the combo-building is about using a boost function to hunt down enemies and asteroids to score points, before changing over to a defensive style when a new wave of matter floods the planet and you just need to try and survive. It gives the stages more variety and it's weirdly cathartic. Methodically stripping down asteroids with a hose-like flame-thrower, with chilled bleepy music in the background, is not an activity to be sniffed at.

He despises Hank. Wasn't going to happen. Gilligan is purposely avoiding all boring or predictable options (derrr)

It's OK to be wrong.

Closed beta coming to PS3 on October 5th. http://www.gamefreaks.co.nz/2013/08/...playstation-3/

Thought I'd leave that there to simmer.

But c'mon, it's the most risible attempt at counselling I've ever seen. Considering how touchy people get over their own body image I actually find it hilarious someone would go about delivering advice in that tone. Genuine despair-LOL from me.

Do you work in counselling? Bloody hell!

It is now on my Kindle, sir.

No. They don't just look superior graphically, but they look superior in every other conceivable way.

Yeah, Ghostwritten is unbelievable. I'm on part 1 again. It's completely transformed my idea of what a novel can be. It feels like I've had an epiphany, although I have no clue as to what that epiphany really is. I understand so much and so little. Blargh.

The multiplayer is worth a look, it has its own feel. Only slightly less bullshit than Cod though. Ignore the campaigns.

LOL. Just realised it boots you out at rank 10, which I reached when I last downloaded it. Yeeeeaaaaaahhhhh.
