Super 8 was on yesterday and, although I've already seen it once, I just couldn't help but watch it. I really like it. In a way, it was Stranger Things before Stranger Things was itself. It's clearly made to appeal to that E.T. and Goonies audience and it succeeds. There's also a few nice little stories that take place within it that just tie together nicely at the end. I'm a big fan of it.

Do I know what I'm doing? Not really, no. But, I think most people pretend that they do. It depends on what we mean by the question and where we apply it. Love, life, career, friendships, family, wealth, etc. It's like having a graph and then a line of best fit. I think most people try to get as close to that line as possible, but the reality is that there will probably always have one area which you're doing better in than others, or one area that could always be better. Some may have to look harder than others. Overall, I'm happy. I do have maybe one month a year or one week a month where I have an inner crisis of "what are you doooooooiiiiing?" Mostly relating to work and family.

Hope you feel better soon, braaaah. Take care, everyone.

A good victory today. Mata's movement was the shit. One of the best games I've seen him play in a United shirt. I fully expect City and Chelsea to win their games. Still, there's barely anything in it from 2nd to 6th.

I've just made it to the geothermal valley section of the game. I'm finding the game pretty addictive, just like the first. It's very satisfying to fire with the bow and the guns have a nice weighty feel. It's interesting how there are more characters in this game. More NPCs to interact with. It's different and it stops the game feeling identical to the first. It has its own identity.

That wasn't really an indication of anything. Cloud is an iconic gaming character and Smash is an iconic series. If you're going to allow characters such as Sonic and Solid Snake, why stop there?

It's not really that shocking considering that the N64, GC, Wii and WiiU didn't have any mainline FF games. Nothing has changed recently that will suddenly bring the series back. You were always going to need another console to play Final Fantasy, just like you'll need another console to play the likes of GTA.

That size looks perfect for that room. You'd have to get a whole new tv unit or rearrange the room to fit the bigger size. I love that unit you have on the left.

What size did you go for? The picture quality is fantastic, imo. I'm impressed. Dark Souls III looks spectacular!

I'm silently hopeful that this will be good. I didn't back the Kickstarter as I didn't really have an incline over how this would play out. Still neither convinced nor deterred, so I'll gauge my impressions based on how people here find it. Visuals look fine to me. I'm neither blown away by them nor repulsed. It's really comfortable up here on this fence.

It has arrived! The picture isn't the best. Partly down to the lighting in the room and partly down to the PS4 theme (The Last Guardian) that @Eenuh is using. We love it. It's not too big for it to be intrusive. But it's big enough to be impressive-looking. Definitely think the 55" would have been ridiculous. It would've taken up way too much space on our unit. The 49" compliments the Samsung 40" quite nicely! Overall, we're pretty happy, so far. Ine is playing Dark Souls III and I'm watching the Leicester-Derby game.

Can speak Italian, drinks fine wine and runs awesome Nintendo websites! Of course, we are talking about the world-famous @Ashley! Happy birthday, Mary-Kate!

It looked great in the store. I'll be surprised if we hate it when it gets here. It really depends on the size of your room when it comes to which size you buy. I can imagine the 55" looking overpowering if your living space isn't particularly big. Will post pictures when it gets here!

That's my situation, word for word. I'm more tempted to get a third PS4 (PS4 Pro) than a Nintendo Switch. Nintendo haven't shown me anything at all that makes me feel that they have learned how to overcome their faults. I want the Switch to be worth it.

We're only five points behind and that's mostly down to draws. Key players like Mkhitaryan have found form and are scoring goals, which they weren't doing in the beginning of the season. I can see top four definitely happening now. We're within touching distance. In fairness, MadDog was always quite level-headed. Dazzy on the other hand. (I'm guessing that Spurs must have won this weekend, as Dazzy is posting in this thread)

Received the dispatch notice from Amazon. Should be here on Friday! I felt like a massive neeeeeeeeeeerd in work today when someone asked what I was getting @Eenuh for her birthday. "A tv...so we can game separately...but together." No.Fucks.Given.

Can pose for greeting card style photographs: Quite useful for journeying to faraway exotic places. Also, Belgium. The Eenuh also comes equipped with a surprisingly in-depth knowledge of continental chocolate. She can also squander countless amounts of money on owning all of the wrong property in Monopoly. (suddenly regret buying a house with this one. Not srs. Semi srs) Also takes up all of the space on the sofa! If there is a space available, you can bet that she has her eye on it, if not her limbs! However, can bake and make yummy treats provided that all ingredients are within reach: Apparently, she can even play games. Although, this wasn't quite what we had in mind: This is more like it! Of course, this is all in jest and I wouldn't dream of selling her (yet). It is the 32nd birthday of the wonderful and photogenic, @Eenuh. Happy birthday and here is to many more years of fun and adventures along the way.

We popped down to Currys today to have a look at these tvs. It wasn't an easy decision as there seemed to be a dozen or so interesting models. @Eddage, your model looked superb and definitely caught our eye. However, we decided against it in the end as it was a lot of money for us to part with! In the end, we went with @lostmario's choice: the Sony Bravia. It seemed to tick all the right boxes for us whilst still retaining that wow factor. Price definitely came into it and it just felt a bit more of a wiser purchase for us than the Samsung. The 49inch black mode is the one we bought. The only concerning thing for us is if it'll take up too much space in our living room/tv unit area. Should be fine. The 55inch model looked amazing in the store but would have been a bit too overpowering for the size of our room, I feel. I'm sure/hope we'll be happy with it. We'll post some pictures up when it gets here!

I'm happy with the way results have gone this weekend. Where have the Leicester from last season gone? They played like the away side today. Not doing the manager any favours with performances like that. Top four is definitely a realistic possibility. Even second is within the realms of possibility. We're not losing league games, just these draws which might (or will) bite us in the arse at the end of the season. Mkhitaryan is our best player!

That Bravia is catching my eye! @Eddage, that telly looks gorgeous but it's a bit out of our range. Hmm. Will think on that. @Nolan, which Sony model is that?

What did you trade in altogether? Where did you do the trade?

@Eenuh will be celebrating her birthday very soon. As we are going for a dual tv setup in the house, it is time to upgrade her poverty tv that she is currently using. We currently have a 40inch Samsung F6100 as our main tv (and the PS4 we use the most). Ine's tv is a much smaller Samsung, around 28-32inches. It was originally our main tv before we upgraded to the 40inch one we currently have. The part of the tv on the smaller model (Ine's tv) which connects to the stand is broken, which means we now need to prop it up with other objects. The plan will be to wall-mount this tv in our soon-to-be-created garage gym. So, we're looking for a brand new tv to become our new main tv. Possibly something between 40-48inches. We'd prefer not to go above the £600 mark, but we can see about that later. We're quite open to ideas in terms of HDR and 4K. We're not huge on 3D and are not particularly bothered about it being curved or not. Samsung have always been a decent brand for us. But again, we're quite open to new ideas.

Yup, the rumours are true. It is me and Eenuh who do this! We've played Star Wars Battlefront on both of our PS4s but with only one of us buying the game. It's a pretty simple process to be able to do it and there's also tons of videos on Youtube to show you how to do it. Just going to point out that this has to be a digital version of a game. So, if you own a disc based game, you can only play that on one PS4 at a time. You need to have a digital version and the game needs to be (obviously) installed onto both PS4s.

After moving house, I now realise how much of a pain it is being a hoarder. I try to go digital now as much as I can with games. I'm not too bothered about reselling, so it's purely a storage thing. It's easier trying to move one console with a hdd of 80+ games than it is to move one console plus 80+ boxes.

I keep virtually everything. I've only traded in a few games on here if they were doubles. I prefer to build up a collection and at least have the option of playing through again when I want to.
