Yeah, per person. After looking at his friendlist first. Then, adding all of the profile images into an N-Europe post. I'd say that must have taken a while.

I've played this non-stop for about two days now. It's fuuuuuuuucking brilliant. Endor is incredible, such a good map. The whole thing is just gorgeous to look at. I love how one minute you could be a storm trooper on the ground, then in an AT-ST, then in a tie-fighter, or even Darth Vader. I hope that they keep pumping more content into this game. More maps is a definite must. I quite like the game modes on offer, particularly Cargo and Walker Assault. There's a good tactical nature to some of the games, but it's also fun as fuck to go around blasting the shit into rebel scum!

These are excellent. Cheeeeeers, dude. Must have taken ages!

No. It's all about streaming now. Kazaa was where I got all my por...portfolio of music from.

Mind blown that Napster still exist. I thought that they disappeared years ago. Can't wait for Kazaa, Winamp and MSN messenger support.

That's a good way of doing it. Think midday to mid afternoon is the best time to lift. Some days I get home and it's a struggle to get going after a long work day. Working at a gym would be great...just lift whenever you want.

By volume, I mean the amount of exercises that you do. It really depends on how it feels for you and how much you enjoy doing it all per day and per week. For example, for push day, I'd usually do bench, shoulder press, dips and then maybe one accessory like shoulder raises. It depends on if you're finding that amount of work OK. With the accessories, sometimes I find them a chore at the end because I've exhausted myself with the earlier stuff.

Cheers, brah. I'm still doing Stronglifts, so full body three times/four times a week. My squatting and deadlifting has improved, so I'm happy with those. I'm a bit disappointed that my shoulder/overhead press didn't improve all that much, but that's life. Going to start cutting after Christmas. It's time, I feel. With Push/Pull/Legs: That's quite a lot of volume to do. I love that routine as I've done PPL before, but I'd cut down the volume, imo. I always found it best where you do one compound plus one or two accessories. So, bench press plus one, shoulder press plus one. It's a rewarding routine, but it can be monotonous reeeeeally quickly if you're thinking "shit, I've got ALL of this to do....5 or 6 times a week". It was by far my most time consuming routine. I find biceps really boring, too. Plus, I don't find them comfortable. I'm doing hammer curls these days and it's fine but...I find training triceps more enjoyable. There's more variety in the exercises you can do, too. Every bicep routine is either a curl, a form of curl or a secondary to something like pull ups or rows. Also also, I really would think about doing deadlifts after squats. The thing with deadlifts is that it's working your lower back pretty hard and you'll need that when trying to keep yourself stable when squatting. Most people seem to suggest doing squats first then deadlifts, mainly for that reason. I guess it may depend on how heavy you're going with both.

160kg deadlift for 5 reps! Just did my set Legs shaking. Heart racing. Kill me.

Only just noticed that (about the Voyager hate) Explain yourself, @Agent Gibbs!

I reckon that the film will be fine. Can imagine it being better than Into Darkness. A lot of the old Trek episodes revolved around being stranded on a planet and finding a way back, or encountering trouble. The trailer won't be illustrative of the final product. They've, for some reason, decided to go down the action route with the trailer. Maybe just to draw people in and get the everyday crowd into the cinema.

I can tell from some of the internet's reactions that this trailer will divide opinion.

It's a bit sad because its predecessor has a great story, awesome characters, a fun battle system and it was huge in length. I do feel that there are plenty of gamers out there who would like to have played that and I think it's the same with XCX. It should appeal to the same crowd who enjoy Final Fantasy games and the like.

That looks lovely. Very charming.

It was never going to do well over here. It's a JRPG with mechs, released for a dead console at a time when the world is suffering from Star Wars fever. Look at all of the games released on other systems around its time of release.

Got this yesterday after @Eenuh and I did our Christmas present swapping before we go to Belgium to see her family. Played this for about two/three hours. It's awesome. So fucking awesome and satisfying. Great game to end the year with and a stroke of genius releasing this at a time when Star Wars fever is at an all-time high.

The injuries aren't the issue because we're not playing amazing football even when all of our players are available. It doesn't make a difference if Rooney is there or not. He's no longer a guaranteed starter in my opinion and we seem like we're playing with 10 men when he's on the pitch this season. Tactically, he's not very disciplined as he drops deep FAR too often and this means that the likes of Martial are continuously isolated. Van Gaal is pissing me off with his usage of Herrera, too. He wants to play this particular style of football, yet almost refuses to play the one person who would probably thrive in this system. Herrera is injured atm, but should be first name on the team sheet when he's available. His subs are dreadful. You can probably count on one hand the amount of subs that Van Gaal has made that have impacted on the team in a positive way. His subs actually make the team worse, every single time. Champions League last week, took off Mata who set up the goal and looked great and kept Fellaini on, who looked useless. Saturday against Bournemouth, took off Fellaini who scored and looked dangerous, kept on Mata who played badly. There are too many players not performing, but the manager serves as a motivator. If a player isn't performing, then bring somebody else in. At a club like Manchester United, there should be enough talent to keep the team fresh. This shouldn't change overnight because Fergie is no longer there. Letting players like Januzaj and Wilson go, who could both do a job, is the fault of the manager. Throwing in a player like Martial into every single game, giving him no service, isolating him up front with no pace alongside him and wondering why he isn't scoring is the fault of the manager. NOT taking off players who deserve to be subbed and subbing off players who are playing well is the fault of the manager. Every United fan wants Van Gaal to do a good job and they want him to succeed. I want him to succeed. But, these fuck ups are his own doing. Pointing the finger at injuries is a coward's way out. They say that the league table doesn't lie. Well, I say that it does. We've been shit all season.

I've been playing through this a lot more and have to say how completely awesome it is. The world is beautiful/ugly/scenic to look at in all of the right ways and places. I'm loving the humour and interplay between all of the main characters. Hats off to the character swapping mechanic. This is my first reeeeal GTA and I've never touched any of the others besides the original, so I don't know if this mechanic is in the other games. But, it works fantastically well here.

Buhhh, it looks like the price of this has jumped up to around £12 on PSN. I knew I should have got it last week.

Ah, here come the haters. I had tons of this yesterday. I always find it really cute when fans would prefer to talk about United rather than the merits of their own team.

Easy victory for Bournemouth. They outplayed us. I can take the not-winning part of football. The not-caring part is the part that fucks me right off. The team are on a bad run, they're not scoring goals and they don't look like they know what they're doing. The least you can do as a manager is get off your arse and give some instructions to the players. All this bullshit about not being able to influence the game when the players step over that white line is wrong. Tide has turned. Can't see Van Gaal lasting the season.

My top 10 of 2015 are: 1. THE WITCHER 3 Fucking incredible game that just has everything. Best storytelling, best narrative, best dialogue and best set of characters that I've ever seen in a game. It's huge, yet has the most intricate and detailed open world there is. Highly recommended. 2. Bloodborne Hated this for the first five or six hours. Maybe even more than that. It was shit. I kept dying over and over and it didn't click. Somehow, it all ended up fitting into place. One of my finest gaming experiences ever and this alone makes the purchase of a PS4 worth it, imo. 3. Everybody's Gone To The Rapture Heart-breaking story, beautifully told and with another fine set of characters. A really good game that often has you doing very little except just sitting back and putting the pieces of the story together like a puzzle. I thought that this was a beautiful game. Can't wait for more from this studio. 4. Rocket League Awesome fun in multiplayer. It's really good in split-screen and it's even better when you add Spotify into the mix. I'm glad to see that there's DLC, such as the mutator options, additional stages and more cars to give this game even more replayability. 5. The Order 1886 Fuck the haters. There's a great game here, even if it isn't a sprawling 50 hour adventure. I actually think that the pace and length is just right for a game of this type. Any longer and it might have felt a bit repetitive and too confined? It's definitely one of the most beautiful games that I've ever played and it can be bought now for cheap. 6. Journey on PS4 I finally got to play this game and it was certainly worth the wait. Gorgeous world and such a fantastic experience to spend this Journey (haha) alongside an unknown human player...or several over the course of the game. There's an excellent message that's hidden within this about the cycle of life and death, but also how we must take care of our own world, ourselves and others. 7. Batman: Arkham Knight Fantastic yet frustrating experience. About 95% of this awesome is awesome and the best in the series, yet I can't help but feel that the 5% extra shit should have been scrapped. The batmobile/tank bits, for example. They are annoying and actually detract from the rest of the game, which is excellent. The narrative is fantastic as is the plot and dialogue. It should be higher on my list. I'm hoping a second playthrough may change my perspective a little bit and it may seem easier to digest in future. 8. Until Dawn Excellent TellTale style game that also includes an interesting backstory and a chilling setting. I had a great time with this and maybe another run-through will see it climb higher in this table! I'm already thinking about how I could play this game differently next time. 9. White Night Awesome little game that proves to be really intense at times. It's not everyday that you get to play a survival horror game of this type and it certainly is more mysterious thanks to the visuals. There are a few small annoying bits, such as some of the puzzles towards the end or a section where you have multiple ghosts in a small area, making it difficult to navigate through. But, the backstory is excellent, as is the "twist" at the end. I enjoyed this a lot! 10. Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Bluddy awesome game that I should perhaps play a bit more of. It's very challenging at times, but still great fun. There are moments where you feel invincible and yet times where you feel that the game is doing everything it can to piss you off. It's definitely well worth the money and it's trippy as hell to look at and listen to.

So..what exactly is this game? Is it like a GTA-style game? I'm still playing GTAV, so would it be recommended to not go anywhere near this until I've finished that and play it about half a year later?

Did you not play Bloodborne? Second best game I've played this year. This year has been awesome. The Witcher 3 (+DLC), Bloodborne, Everybody's Gone To The Rapture, Rocket League, The Order 1886, White Night, OlliOlli2, Cities Skylines, Batman: Arkham Knight, Geometry Wars 3, Journey on PS4 and Until Dawn are some of most memorable games of this year. There's also tons that have been released that I've not played yet. Grim Fandango Remastered and Hotline Miami 2 are two that I'm looking for cheap on PSN. Life is Strange looks fantastic. MGS:V and Fallout 4 are new entries in series' that I've never tried before. Star Wars Battlefront is one I should hopefully be playing soon. Then, there's Mortal Kombat X, Tearaway Unfolded, Just Cause 3, Dying Light and Helldivers. Definitely one of my favourite years for gaming. The Witcher 3 is definitely my favourite game of the year and definitely my favourite game of all time. Bloodborne and Everybody's Gone To The Rapture take second and third spot. Rocket League to be there in my top five.

No fucking way.
