I could do with a new racer, so this may be it.

Fuck all!

I'm all for this move. It should lead to less "second yellow" red cards due to players having a bit of time to cool down. It should also cut down persistent fouling in football, which can be a joke at times. However, this has to be implemented correctly. Will this actually mean that more referees are reluctant to give yellow cards as they now carry more weight to the outcome of a game? It definitely needs standardisation. Getting a yellow for "over-celebrating" is stupid. It should hopefully cut dissent out of the game.

If you're looking to replace the 3DS, then I guess it could be useful. However, I think you're being extremely optimistic with your vision about this being your single-player console. There's going to be fuck all out for it this year and the other consoles are just going to get stronger and stronger. I can see the Switch having a good 2018.

Exactly the same here. I've even had it in my basket a few times.

If you're desperate for a Switch, then go for it. The WiiU is a waste of space and you'll never use it again. However, I don't understand how the "accounts" thing on the WiiU works, so I'd look into that first. Unlink it and whatever. Think of all the PS4 games you could get though with that money.

Without analogue triggers, you'd be crashing into every single corner in DriveClub. It's all well and good having all of these interesting features like HD Rumble, but make sure that the basics are there. Analogue triggers are a standard now (except on Nintendo consoles). Are they definitely not on the Switch?

Bruuuuh, can't believe you didn't stick with Alien. I loved that game. However, it was tense as fuck. Very memorable. Think I gained a heart condition because of that game. I'm looking forward to playing RE7 in the future. Beginning Hour was fantastic. My last playthrough on that demo left me in such a terrible state that I couldn't handle going back into it. I think I posted about it on here somewhere.

Thinking about Nintendo consoles, the stories which stuck with me were Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Killer 7 and Eternal Darkness. I'd count Ocarina of Time in there, too. And Majora's Mask. Outside of Nintendo, The Witcher 3 and its DLCs were just fucking incredible all round. Great character development, plot progression and tons of memorable moments. There's a reason that it's my favourite game ever and a large part of that is down to the story line/s. Recently, I've been thinking about the stories from the BioShock games, particularly BioShock Infinite. It blew me away and I've been thinking about the implications of that ending for weeks now. It'll stay with me forever! I'm a big fan of The Last of Us and the writing and dialogue within that game was immense. Definitely in my top 10 ever. Again, the ending will stay with me forever! There are others, too. Life is Strange and The Walking Dead games to name a few.

I wouldn't put my faith in that list until you actually have the games in front of you.

My Dutch has seriously improved over the last few months. The thing that I struggle with the most is the sentence structure, but I'm getting there slowly. However, I've not been keeping up with it for the last two weeks due to the big house move. I'll jump back in during February and will keep up with it daily. I've not been keeping up with my Spanish at all and will try to get back on that with DuoLingo. In a few years, I'd like to look at one of Italian, German or Japanese.

@Eenuh got me XL for Christmas and, despite only playing it for an hour due to time constraints, I completely love it. I love the brutality, the way the characters move and the movesets. Looking forward to playing more! I own both this and Street Fighter V and love them both for different reasons.

I found it very hard to disagree with anything in this video. However, surely Skyrim is the remastered version? It must be out for launch, too? I'm getting WiiU vibes from the Switch and I'm not desperate enough to slap down £300+ on something that may get sub-18-months playtime.

There are 9 altogether, with the 9th being my surname. My 7th ,8th and 9th names are what I've mostly gone by throughout my life as they were my "own names". Basically, names 1-6 were "tributes" to my grandfather's family as they were names which were passed down to me. (although, saying that, I was the first member of my family to have these names passed on to...I have no idea why I was chosen for that!) When I was given my name, my Grandfather put the tribute names first and then added on "Jamal Rasool" (names 7 and 8) at the end, before the surname. My Grandmother (I was brought up by my grandparents) was adamant that I have JR somewhere in my name as my family were huuuuge Dallas fans prior to my birth. So, that covers "Jamal Rasool"... My Grandfather wasn't a very practical person. He would come up with ideas all the time but didn't think about the long-term impact of those decisions. Hence why he'd choose a bizarre name for an almost "romantic" sort of idea without really understanding that it could cause an issue. To me, it would have made much more sense to have Jamal at the beginning of the name as that's my "own" name, rather than it being the 7th one. When it came to shortening it, it made sense to just go by the last three as "Jamal" is the one I've mostly used throughout my life and, as I was planning to keep the surname anyway, I decided to keep Rasool along with it.

We have two PS4s (his and hers, lolz) and I have to admit that the one you just bought looks very, very nice. Shut up, brain.

Ya bastard. Well...I did have 9 names up until very recently. I had it officially shortened just a few months ago, after years of pondering over whether or not I should do it. Things are much easier now. Having such a long name was a pain in lots of different ways. E.g. my driver's licence didn't contain my full name as it didn't have enough space for it. Any paper based forms where I had to put my official name were difficult, as I had to include a continuation sheet just for the name. There have been lots of comical incidences over the years.

I'm really looking forward to this. The other Injustice game was awesome and I just love the different movesets and stages available, as well as the transitions! I hope we see more stages with three or more transitions, because Metropolis was the only one that did that in the previous game. Not too long to wait!

I'm looking forward to giving this a crack when we officially move into our new house. I think it'd be a bit daft to start it right now as we've got far too much on, despite really wanting to play it. I'm just glad that it's here and that it doesn't suck. To hear it's actually any good is surreal. I guess good things do come to those who wait.

I'm a slightly more unusual case in that my nickname is basically now my real name. My original name was very long, 9 names in total. (think pretty much everyone on here knows that) I was referred to as "Jamal", but somewhere between the ages of 4 and 6 my Mum started calling me "Jim" as a nickname. We were in a very white area at the time and being pretty much the only darker skinned kid about until my brothers joined in playgroups, nursery and school, I guess the logic was that it would help me fit in more or that it would be easier for others to pronounce. Strangely enough, I still call my brother by his nickname, too. I rarely use his real name. My friends in primary school used to call me both Jim and Jamal. It was the same in high school and at uni. Gradually, more and more people called me Jim, so it just became the name I used when I introduced myself. @Eenuh never calls me Jamal. At work, my closer colleagues and friends will call me Jim and the rest call me Jamal. It's a similar sort of situation on here. I think it was Platty all those years back that called me "Flink" and that's pretty much stuck since. It's quite strange how I have a similar situation in both the real and online world. I quite like all of the variations. Some friends will joke and call me JimJam. Some have called me "flinky" on here.

Thanks, everyone! It's been a pretty fucking cool birthday. One of my best friends has made me a three-tier Walking Dead birthday cake. I'll try and get some pictures later. Work was fun. I was given B&Q and Amazon Vouchers, to help with getting stuff for the house. A friend also made another cake in work and we quickly devoured that. She does this as a side business and she's pretty good at it, so the cake obviously tasted lovely. @Eenuh knocked it out of the park and has got us tickets for Man Utd vs. Chelsea in April! :bowdown: Well done, that woman!

I started this last week and didn't have any more time to go back to it until yesterday evening. I'm enjoying it. Obviously, it won't blow my mind as much as its predecessor as that was one of my first PS4 games and I've played loooooads since then. I'm finding it very fun and satisfying to play.

That's the first video of his that I've ever watched and I agree with what he said 100%. I found it very hard to disagree with him on this.

Happy birthday, bitches.

I'm confident that all three games which make use of it will be interesting experiences.

It's a strange feeling knowing that I won't be getting a Nintendo console. I queued up for the Wii, received a SNES on a magical Christmas Day and spent many hours on multiplayer games on the GC and N64. I just feel that Nintendo are sadly becoming out of touch, or rather that they're not the ones pushing the boundaries. I hope that the Switch turns things around but I have similar sorts of feelings to the WiiU when that was first unveiled and I (looking back, regretfully) bought a WiiU when I wasn't fully sold on it. The initial few months were great but support for it dried up so quickly. You must have extremely narrow taste if you can't find 4 games on the other console that interest you.
