Nostalgia would have been one of the reasons why I would have pre-ordered a Switch. I'd say that I'm maybe becoming less nostalgic these days and more about the moment. Nostalgia can only take you so far, imo.

Leicester City proving that there's no sentimentality in football. Also, no honour. I remember when neutrals turned against Swansea after they sacked Garry Monk. It'll be even worse now that it's happened to Leicester, considering their achievements last season. Sad as it is to say and think, but there will be a lot of people out there who will want Leicester to go down after this. This man won you the league, at least give him to the end of the season.

I'm hoping that Nintendo have an awesome E3 and I'll get excited after that. At the moment, I'm not even a little bit excited that a new Nintendo system is here a week from now. Also, the knowledge that I won't be playing Zelda has put me in a state of indifference. I know I won't be playing it, so I'm not excited for it. I didn't enjoy Skyward Sword and I remember the hype surrounding that was off the charts. Due to that, it's not exactly made me eager to play the next one. I don't even think I'll get the WiiU version on the off-chance that we do invest in a Switch in the future. We'll see. I think it's dangerous that Nintendo are putting all of their eggs in one basket and relying on Zelda.

They announced on Monday that they had an awesome discovery and were going to share it with the world on Wednesday. So, here it is! The rest of the info can be found here and it's well worth a read.

Awesome! I'd still like to tap into that universe at some point. The combat for Andromeda looks pretty sick. I think I drooled a little watching that vid on the last page.

You never know, we've had collections and remasters a fair bit this gen, I wouldn't say it's completely out of the question. Even if it's just a straightforward port without any extra work done to it. I'm holding out for the possibility of it maybe being added to PSNow. Again, I'd take that. Aside from that, my only real option would be to buy a cheap PS3 to play the trilogy, but I don't want to go down the route of extra hardware. There's PC maybe, if mine (my laptop) can run it.

I was in the mood to play some Battlefront yesterday and tried the latest DLC based on Rogue One. I'm having a blast all over again and love the new mode that's been included. That first section in particular is great fun, as is the final part with the data tapes.

Then you haven't really lived.

Braaaaah, I grew up as a semi-brown kid, (Dad was a darkie) and I know who Jim Morrison is. In fairness, I've always been reeeeally into music.

Well done, Dr. Bob! Say goodbye to all of your money. EDIT: AND YOUR LIFE.

I think you'd like Beyond. I had a great time with both games and they're unique experiences. I'm glad I went with Heavy Rain first as I feel that Beyond takes a few of the ideas and concepts (and controls) from that and takes them a bit further forward. I'd recommend doing it in that order.

A while back, I bought the Heavy Rain/Beyond: Two Souls collection on PS4. After loving Heavy Rain, I decided that now was the right time to give Beyond a bash. Again, I knew very little about the game before starting it up, so it was quite exciting going into it blind. I've just finished up on the game...I LOVED it. I'd say I preferred this to Heavy Rain overall. Whilst I'm a big fan of the noir setting of Heavy Rain, I felt that the main character was quite compelling in Beyond. The story is nice in this game and it does have an interesting conclusion. My favourite overall chapter had to be the Navajo section of the game and I enjoyed that setting and the characters involved. I could have spent a bit more time there, really. My only real complaints about the game is with regards to the "combat", particularly the dodging and moments where you throw punches. Having an on-screen prompt would work better, imo, at least like it did in Heavy Rain. Aside from that, there's a decent bit of variation in this gameplay, particularly the stealthy-sections. It's interesting to see how they've moved it on a bit since Heavy Rain. I loved the themes within Beyond, especially how it all ties together right at the finale. I also loved the non-linear narrative of the game and can't even begin to contemplate playing it in chronological order. Why would you do that?!

I started Beyond last night and I just couldn't put it down. I must be close to half-way through it already. I'm really enjoying it and I love the themes within the story. It also looks and sounds utterly beautiful, too.

Bruh, move to Italy. You speak/know Italian, right? Italy looks fucking stunning. Hell, let's all move to Italy!

Tough game against Blackburn, who I thought were excellent. A 2-1 scoreline is a very fair reflection on the game. United made it very difficult for themselves, however. Darmian is an appalling footballer!

We're struggling to find a decent side table/sideboard for the living room. Trying to find one that is wooden, fairly modern and somewhere between 60cm-1metre in length. There's a fair bit out there, just not the one that is quite right.

Tempted to get it at that price. For the sake of four quid...may as well. Bought it.

@Eenuh's expression when she found out that Nioh is quite similar (in a way) to Dark Souls/Bloodborne:

Hnnnnnnggg, that looks incredible. I'm still cautiously optimistic about a trilogy collection for PS4. I'd want to get on those before I play Andromeda.

Shame on you @Rummy for not recognising Jim Morrison!

Looks quite interesting! One to watch out for.

This is going to be my first contribution to this thread! It's been a very busy start to 2017! Here are my lists for 2015 and 2016 for future reference.

Simeone would be absolutely unreal. The team would become much tougher to beat with him there. He'd be a great addition to the Premier League at some point.

This reminds me of a situation with one or two people who I work with. If you stay in a place too long and just keep "ticking", you run the risk of damaging your long term legacy. There have been moments over the last few years where many have no doubt often wondered if that applies to Wenger here. The performance midweek was embarrassing. Arsenal seem to be the team to take the piss out of, with all of the "fourth place" jokes, etc. However, I will say that in an ever-changing world where managers can get sacked at the drop of a hat, it is fantastic to see a manager stay at a club for the amount of time that he has. Managers do deserve to be given time and you can't build fantastic teams overnight. It takes years and years to build clubs. I do feel that the time is right for Wenger to go. However, I will say this as a United fan who saw Sir Alex Ferguson's reign...finding replacements for these top tier managers is difficult. We are desperately in an era now where we need new, young and hungry managers to come through the ranks. If Wenger does leave, then he obviously needs a replacement. That successor is going to need time and they are going to have to be an improvement over what Arsenal have had before. If Arsenal can't identify a suitable replacement, then Wenger will surely stay.
