  1. A Way Out looks brilliant. Definitely getting that. Think @Eenuh and I will get a lot out of it. Reminds me of Prison Break series 1 crossed with some of the early gameplay stuff of Uncharted 4.
  2. Need for Speed looks alright, but you get the sense that it's been "done". Is there really an appetite out there for more open world racers? Look like they're going after the Fast and the Furious crowd with this. I prefer track racers and want more of those.
  3. Was that the American version of the Haka? I guess we haven't seen everything.
  4. I'm looking forward to this on Tuesday. I'll watch Nintendo's thing first after getting home from work and then we'll order a Chinese and watch the Sony event afterwards.
  5. Yeah, have to agree with all of that. A team like Germany or Spain would have tanked us in this game. We need to dictate games a lot more. Sometimes it's better to unlock a defence with 3 or 4 incisive passes than it is to have 5 minutes of the ball with 40 passes and go nowhere. I much prefer quicker, attacking football. Even if it leaves you a bit more vulnerable sometimes defensively, you'll create more.
  6. I think it's always going to be harder to feel excited for these sorts of things as you get older. We've seen so much in our time. We've seen incredible moments like Miyamoto appearing on stage after THAT Zelda Twilight Princess trailer. Moments like the triple-attack of The Last Guardian, FFVII remake and Shenmue 3. Other countless crazy moments and events. We've literally seen it all already. It's almost the same with the World Cup and European Championships. When it does come around, you tend to get more involved with it and enjoy it, but it loses that freshness factor because it isn't fresh to you anymore. I'm 30 now and I've been watching and following E3 since I was a teenager...I think I was 14 or 15 or something. That's half of my life! I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not counting down the moments or I don't have any wild predictions. I'll watch it, enjoy it, take in what was shown and then just move on.
  7. Incredible finish from Kane. Why did this game only get interesting late on?! 2-2 is a fair result for both teams.
  8. Wow. 2-1 Scotland. Amazing free kicks in succession. I gasped after the first one and then I don't even know what I did after the second. Disappointing performance from England. No real chances of note and so little pace.
  9. Noooooo. A childhood hero. I fucking loved his Batman. RIP Absolutely slayed me.
  10. I think it's to do with the pace and build-up of international football. The Premier League is frantic at times and you just go all out and attack. The pace of international football is much slower and more measured. I think the national team is scared of losing, whereas the club teams just don't seem to have as much fear. Maybe because there's a lot less riding on each individual game at league level. Also, controversial, but (Spurs aside) how many of these English players are the best players at their clubs?
  11. England are getting outplayed by Scotland.
  12. Didn't get a chance to post yesterday as I had a busy day and was tired. But wow. Labour have done a fantastic job and it's a fantastic achievement to have gained so many seats with the challenges that a snap election brings. Jeremy Corbyn has had everything thrown at him. The media have been shit, his own party were in-fighting after the referendum and his history and persona have been dragged through the mud. It's a testament to his character that he has managed to convert all that into big fans for the Labour party. Everything reflects badly on the Conservatives. It was the Conservatives who gave us a referendum that wasn't really being asked for, it was the Conservatives who fought amongst themselves during the referendum campaign (hurling mistruths amongst other thing) and it's now the Conservatives who have triggered article 50 and given us a snap election when it was un-needed. Theresa May has come out of this very badly. She criticised Corbyn's history for being sympathetic towards terrorists and she herself is now jumping into bed with them. I don't believe the possibility of a Conservative/DUP coalition was hinted at even once during the election. Her credibility has been shot to pieces and I don't see how she can be taken seriously when she goes to talk about the issue of the UK leaving the EU. All of this time calling a snap election and now reforming a government is taking valuable time out of the Brexit negotiations. You're looking at close to 3 months. Theresa May has got a weaker hand now than she did months ago. Poor leadership.
  13. Greedy opportunistic bitch deserves everything that's happened tonight. After all of the slurs, the misinformation, the in-fighting, the criticism, the huge focus on his policy on nuclear arms...Corbyn has done a fantastic job.
  14. The ex-UKIP voters are going to have a huge say in this. If they mostly go pro-Tory, that'll change things. Also, Wales. If Wales does go Tory, then that'll affect things. Nervous as fuck. Nothing we can do now but wait! Good luck! Let's see what happens.
  15. What did you predict? A riot?
  16. Somebody on facebook just raised the issue of "shy Tories", who may skew this exit poll. I hope the poll is accurate. I'll be gutted if it turns out to be well off and a huge Conservative win. Tories seem worried tonight, though.
  17. I can see this poll being fairly close to the reality. If it is close, then May has taken the party backwards. How can she lead the country with Brexit if she has managed to fuck this up?
  18. Exit polls show that a hung parliament is a huge possibility. Conservatives on 314 and need 326. May has fucked up!
  19. Yeah, we tried and tried to register the tv and it just didn't work. Gave up in the end as it just didn't seem to be worth the hassle. Can't say I've lost any sleepness nights over it. (please don't break)
  20. I read that in his voice and it just killed me. Brilliant. I fucking love Bloodborne.
  21. That's a bit harsh. He's entitled to his opinion and I've already heard dozens of others outside of this forum say a similar sort of thing. People want something done by those in power and I guess two of those solutions are to either lock them up or deport them (if possible). I'm not saying that these are the right solutions or the "answer", but they are options. I'm not agreeing with him, but we are able to have such conversations here because of the make-up of our society. That's part of what these attacks were about; attacking our freedom to speak our views, to live our lives the way we want to and to conduct ourselves in our own ways. To ignore somebody means you aren't willing to take part in a discussion with them, which goes against the point of a discussion board.
  22. That first part is irresponsible. You're basically sending them away to kill somebody else in a different country, if that's what their intention is. It's morally wrong. Whether they're killing people in Libya or the UK, people are people. They should be imprisoned for it as it's still murder. The policy on what happens in these situations is lacklustre and needs sorting out. I don't know if the problem is underfunding of prisons, not enough intelligence, not enough police to act on intelligence or a combination of all of this, but it needs looking at.
  23. The concerning thing to me is that there have been two reports today that information was passed on by friends and neighbours about these suspects to the police some time ago, yet they were still able to do this. So, my concern is what happens to that information once it does get passed on? Does it just get filed away somewhere? Had these two (out of the three assailants) been acted on, then maybe yesterday would've been prevented. Maybe hindsight is a wonderful thing.
  24. A friend of mine who I went to uni with made a post on facebook about how she was at London Bridge station during the time of the attack. She said it was the most terrifying experience of her life. The staff evacuated everyone through a back entrance and then just told them to keep running. Eventually she managed to get on a bus miles away from the station. 7 confirmed dead + the 3 attackers. As many as 50 injured.
  25. I guess the media are following it up because it's unheard of for a President to conduct themselves in such a way. His behaviour is highly unusual and it's strange that he's connecting with his "audience" in such a bizarre way with his strange tweets. It's even more concerning that he makes remarks about his opposition and other world leaders in such a way. The media focus on it because it is interesting due to it being unusual. At the same time, I think the focus that they've given to him not supporting the Paris Climate deal, and the fallout, has been good. There has been a lot of attention on it and also how other countries (and even states in the USA) have reacted to it.
