  1. Christmas 2020

    So guys, I've been really craving for a Switch since playing one at work! I want the standard one, not the Lite, but I want a good deal. I want Super Mario 3D All Stars, Super Mario Maker 2, Aladdin/Lion King and Super Mario Oddysey. Are there any other games you'd recommend?
  2. Christmas 2020

    There's a post credits scene?! I've seen that movie so many times!!
  3. General TV Thread

    I've been watching all of The Flash for the first time and I absolutely love it. I'm on the Crisis of Infinite Earths at the moment. It's really enjoyable and has kept me sane through lockdown.
  4. Franchises they offed...

    Silent Hill or Dino Crisis. I love them two. I'd love to see updated graphics of these games!
  5. Christmas 2020

    That's not a bad idea but I think 2020 has been depressing enough already, haha.
  6. Christmas 2020

    Same here although this year, I'm going to buy some decorations a little earlier. Three guesses what theme I'm going for?...okay, it's obviously a Disney one. I'm also going to get myself a stocking...I've never had a stocking and I want to try and get myself into the Christmas spirit this year. As for my list, I'm buying myself Klonoa on the Wii and I might get myself Spiderman: Miles Morales or Assassin's Creed Valhalla for the PS4.
  7. What Have You Bought?

    That looks so beautiful!
  8. What Have You Bought?

    I can't see anything. I just see code. Can't wait to see it though! It sounds awesome!
  9. good stuff thread.

    Congratulations @bob
  10. I'm sick of these people who feel so self-righteous to be nasty to other people because they're not wearing a mask. It's actually really grating on my nerves now. It's like lockdown has stripped everybody of their manners. Even when I enter a store, they're like "WHERE'S YOUR MASK?!" in such a rude way and I'm like "Bitch, lower the tone and ask me politely and I'll respond politely". It's really getting to me now. Like, I wear a mask when my breathing is alright. When my breathing isn't as good (asthmatic), I don't wear one but I keep my distance anyway and it's only ever on occasion and I've printed my own exemption card from the government website for such occasions should anybody ask. I've seen endless amount of videos with people going crazy over other people because they don't wear one and it's like "Dude, shut up! Stay away from them, keep a distance and go about your day! You coped for the four months when it wasn't law. Just wash your hands, keep 2 metres and be good people." I went into Asda to get some lactose free milk and I had a woman practically shouting at me, saying "YOU NEED A MASK OR YOU CAN'T ENTER!" and I showed her my exempt card. She quizzed me why and I said "I'm asthmatic, which I don't mind telling you but honestly, you're not meant to ask. I've showed you my card but I can put my mask on if you want". She said "So you're not exempt then?" and I said "I am but you shouldn't ask people. It's on the government website". She told me I needed a sunflower lanyard if I wanted to not be exempt and she said it rather snotty and I said "Again, I don't. Clearly states it on the website. You need to read it. I'm not mad at you for asking but I'm mad at you for your approach. I know it's tough in retail but you don't take it out on the ones who haven't started on you..." and walked off. I paid for my milk and as I walked out, she wasn't at the entrance with her box of masks. The security guard nodded at me and approached me and told me he read the website and backed me up. He showed her and she wasn't too happy. Apparently she saw me in the self-serve paying and scarpered. Now, I'm not one of those people who refuse to wear a mask just because. However, I do believe that it shouldn't be law and that it should be a choice. If anything, you're touching hundreds of items in shops every day that have been held by literally hundreds of people beforehand. They could have germs all over them but I question how many people wipe over their items with Dettol wipes or clean them before putting them in their cupboards and fridges.
  11. This. Exactly this. The government has completely ignored any advice given to them. I understand the point of view of one set of scientists and another but the simple fact of it is literally what @sumo73 said- looking at other countries and seeing how they've handled the situation. I, too, was wearing a mask before it was made law (which I'm against) and that was something I did more or less from the start of lockdown along with gloves too and hand sanitiser. The fact that CIVILIANS saw that and wore the mask without it being a requirement to do so is what the joke is for me. Same goes with people fucking off abroad for their holidays, coming back and not isolating (and it has happened). People can blame wearing masks all they like (as that's all I've heard irl) but for me, I don't think people should've gone abroad on their jollies and should only go if it was absolutely necessary. People not staying hygienic would be another thing as well. They can close non-essential shops all they like but let's face it, everybody needs supermarkets for food and drink so obviously, supermarkets would be a hotspot for it, surely? This is something that's going to be here for a long time- just like the flu, which will also kill people at this time of year too.
  12. Technology In Ten Years Time

    Same here. I was reading this and wondered when Slaggis came back and read the dates, haha.
  13. At this point, I'm just fucking annoyed and fed up! I've just got myself back to a good point in a lot of ways. I was happy with my progress in the gym, I was planning on doing my PT physical test at the end of this month, I stopped reading the news and honestly, I stopped fretting about everything and just thought "sod it, it's not going away any time soon" and cracked on with my life. Now we're going in to another lockdown. At this point, I literally hate everything right now. I hope I get 80% of my wage again because I'm out of my jobs...again... I have my friends saying "Ah, you have a holiday, why complain?" and I'm like "Bitch, this ain't no holiday for me". I want to work. I like my jobs (okay, the other one is a bit shite but I like my main job, haha), I love going to the cinema (which I started going once a week again), I love going to the gym (where I made great progress and was revising with my 'study', ready for my test)...these are literally what I do and I like doing it. All of it has been taken away again. I find it more annoying where people are saying it's because people aren't wearing masks. No, it isn't. Masks weren't introduced until it was way too late and even then, people are wearing masks 95% of the time and oh look, another lockdown. No disrespect meant here but it's because people can't wait to go on holiday and want to go abroad for their holidays and not isolate. We have nice places here where you can relax and kick back but no, it's not good enough. UGH! I'm over this shit already. I'm over living in fear. It's simple what to do. Be hygenic, respect people's space and be good people. People find it so fucking hard to do. Although in saying that, I do think it's all to make Johnson look good. Right now, even his supporters aren't really liking him so much from what I gather. I really do think something will be pulled out of their arses where they'll say "The rate has gone down and Christmas is saved! Covid has packed its bags and fucked off to Spain for a holiday during December". He'd look a hero. Fuck off! On the plus side, I guess I have all the time in the world for Nanowrimo...
  14. I am taking part in this year's Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month). Has anyone done one before? You have to write 50K words during all of November. I've planned my one pretty much.
  15. The Disney Thread

    I understand what everyone means with Pixar but I still enjoy their movies just as much (but Toy Story 4 doesn't exist so I don't know what everyone's talking about. There's only 3 of them- the perfect trilogy). Onward was awesome. I really enjoyed that a lot. Same with Coco, Incredibles, Inside Out, Ratatouille and Up. I liked The Good Dinosaur and The Incredibles 2 but they're sort of forgettable. The Cars series are good but they're not my go-to at all. I've watched them once and have little interest to see them again.
  16. Job woes/wins

    Damn straight! Actually, sod that even! Bloody wear what you need to to be warm as long as its sensible. That is an actual cheek though. As if they expect you to pay for something that isn't your fault!
  17. General TV Thread

    I am so happy Dexter is coming back because I thought the quality of the last season was just so...bland for a Dexter season. Debra was my favourite character by far in that show. Jennifer Carpenter was brilliant.
  18. General Movie Thread

    Of course it does, it's the same guy who did the full Resident Evil series AND Milla Jovovich...and yet I want to see it. The Resident Evil films were bad but they were fun to watch. I'm hoping this is the same.
  19. What Have You Bought?

    I bought Frozen II with the limited edition o-ring sleeve, now completely updating my Disney Classics collection!
  20. The Disney Thread

    I am absolutely happy. I thought, what with my experiences of Ralph Breaks the Internet, I would have a right game finding the limited edition o'ring sleeve of Frozen II. Honestly, I could only find it on DVD and I could hardly find it on the Internet but I know that they're usually available when the 2 for £10 Disney DVD deals are on and so was the hunt. I searched absolutely everywhere for the past week and couldn't find it. For some reason, I decided to go to the Asda I NEVER go to because of traffic on the way home and did my shopping. I thought I'd check the DVD and bluray section and lo and behold, nothing. However, I saw a smaller blue case behind the Oliver and Company DVD and I picked it up. There it was! Frozen II with the sleeve! I was ecstatic! I still am! It didn't cost me as much as Ralph Breaks the Internet either (that cost me £20) because I scanned it and it scanned as the DVD version!! (which was £6) Absolutely buzzing! Guess I'll be going back there next time on the off-chance I'll get another o'ring when the next Disney Classic is released. For now though, my collection is entirely complete!
  21. good stuff thread.

    TECH PEOPLE ASSEMBLE! I NEED YOUR HELP! As you all know, I adore blu-rays and I love collecting them. I saw this beautiful motherfucker and just knew I had to have it! Believe me, it's stunning. It's legit the sexiest blu-ray I own. It's an actual book and it includes Battle Royale II: Requiem on blu-ray, which has been a pain in my balls to get on its own. I own Battle Royale as a steelbook and I love the film so it made sense for me to buy this. Only problem was that it is only released in North America. It sucks but I read that it's Region 1 so it was fine. So I thought that I would be able to play this in my PS4 or Xbox One or even PS3 because I own other Region 1 blu-rays and DVDs. It didn't play. It said my "player and disc has mismatched codes" on all three consoles. So basically, I can't watch the second one, which is partially why I bought it in the first place. I found out after that it's because the discs itself are region-coded as A, which I knew nothing about until last night. I want to buy a multi-region blu-ray player as there are some Disney blu-rays that are only released in America (which I don't understand but that's for another day) BUT I figured I may as well buy myself a 4K player that will play anything and everything. Will 4K players also play blu-rays? So this is where you guys would come in, if it's possible.Admittedly, my wage is shit so cheap and cheerful but decent is key. There's so many that I'm confused as to what to look for but I basically want to be able to play stuff. Help!
  22. Skin Colour, Races and Racism

    I remember watching this a while back and thought it was disgusting then. It annoys me that cunts like this exist, it truly does. How fucking entitled and thuggish they are just makes my piss boil. I've never understood this in the first place though. Why are people so bothered about skin colour? I'm being serious. It's pigmentation. I mean, will they avoid the sun in case they get a tan and be mistaken to have brown skin? I honestly get truly depressed when I see shit like this and it kind of triggers me. I don't actually mean trigger as in crying but as in fucking angry. The worst part of it is it's happening more and more now. 2020, so far, has been truly awful for racism. The thing that pisses me off is when I put on some rock music and they always say "I would've thought you'd like grime or rap"...I always get that. When I ask why, I always either get "Well, you all normally like that sort of stuff" or the more blatant "usually black people do". Or they get shocked when I don't understand today's slang which, honestly, is fucking dreadful anyway.
  23. I can bet one of them wasn't Happy! 😂
  24. General Movie Thread

    Honestly, it's great. I enjoyed it a lot. I was a bit worried with Will Smith being the Genie and trying to be Robin Williams but he really made the character his own. Also, Jasmine's solo song, Speechless, is brilliant too. If you were to watch Disney live-actions, I would say Aladdin and Mulan. Beauty and the Beast is great too and I think it got far too much criticism on Emma Watson's part as I thought she did Belle justice. The Lion King was just extremely soulless and missed a lot of the heart that the animation had. Beyonce didn't help matters at all and they ruined Be Prepared, which is in my top 3 favourite Disney villain songs and was something I was looking forward to seeing in the film. I was looking forward to the Little Mermaid until I heard Melissa McCarthy is playing Ursula. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Queen Latifah was born for that role and she proved that in the recorded stage show.
