  2. FIFA 18

    Have to agree....there has been one year where they got it working ok. On PS4 and Xbox this year it is horrendous...makes ultimate team a nightmare as they've noticably made star players over powered.
  3. FIFA 18

    Lack of playing with friends totally kills this, if I could have played Ultimate Team Friendly seasons (like every other version) with you guys like I would have thought more about getting this.
  4. Good Nintendo Podcasts?

    Simple question what do people listen to? No IGN I'm off all their content since they spoiled a certain someone being in Rogue One right there on the front page! I remember Infendo radio being a thing but someone left perhaps? Is GoNintendo still any good?
  5. Splatoon 2

    Sorry missed this! Next time I'll make sure I'm available. Actually forgot about the splatfest outside of picking my team invisible all the way.
  6. I started a new project with @Nintenchris whereby we are ranking every single football videogame ever. Here is some fluff from our website joypadsforgoalposts.com along with our first (rather long) episode. Would love it if we got some interest from here. Also totally aware the episode below has a distinct lack of footage from second game. This is being corrected! Football is an incredible game, nothing beats the first time you set out on the terraces, concrete steps up to the top of the stands that seem insurmountable at first but make you feel like a king when you scale them and look down upon the fabled green grass. It’s not just the magic of match day it’s everything around the game, getting your first full kit, trading stickers to try to complete that world cup album, playing fantasy football, putting a bet on at the bookies, the list goes on. For most of us getting to step on to the pitch and becoming that hero is something we can only dream of achieving , an adrenaline wealth laden life played out weekly in front of thousands of adoring fans, instead we are limited to plonking down those jumpers for goalposts and reliving those famous moments with our mates down the park. However there is one place where the playing field is leveled where anyone can score that overhead kick, that last minute equalizer, make that last ditch tackle and save a penalty to win the World Cup, the digital playground of videogames….. welcome to Joypads for Goalposts. Each episode my mate Chris and I will be ranking football games to find greatest football game of all time, rating them using a secret formula of mathematical equations and good old arguing over the course of 10 game season before declaring a champion each season. We also be tracking who beats who with the winner being awarded a trophy at the end of a given season. Over time these 10 show seasons will create an ever growing list as we rank every single football ever made, yes that means ever….which means we are totally aware this show will never end unless A. Videogames suddenly cease to exist or B. The world ends, take ya pick one of those is the only way the show will ever end!
  7. For this episode, we roll back the years to….last year 2016. Joypads for Goalposts was inspired by Adam and Chris’ football challenges down the years during Extra Life marathons and later on MadDog Marathons. Also please don’t donate using the links on screen the campaign ended if you do wish to donate consider the Teenager Cancer Trust directly.

  9. Splatoon 2

    Yeah I'm saying COD cycle is 2ish years same as Splatoon
  10. Splatoon 2

    Yeah sure so each cycle is roughly the difference in time between Splatoon and Splatoon 2? Original came out in 2015 right?
  11. Doctor Who

    Oh yeah I like that idea!
  12. Splatoon 2

    Solid reviews so far, trending at 83 on opencritic. I was somewhat concerned that this game would be unfairly marked down for being more o the same when to my mind its no different than the yearly COD refresh except it's even further out.
  13. Doctor Who

    You know what that's a good point. You right in that the face change would be enough to cause the same trigger (just for you, we do use known triggers as a turn of phrase or known antecedents when discussing behavioural patterns) I didn't work with a lot of the same people I do now so when we went from Matt Smith - Peter Capaldi it wasn't a discussion I had. We'll see when I see some of the people in my program over the next few days. Anyway, this thread has to move on some day so here is a new pic that's doing the rounds; Not a lot to it...I can't help but feel this episode is somehow going to bring both Doctors to the realisation that they must regenerate and carry on.
  14. Doctor Who

    I'm not upset just it is a very strange place to find yourself in. I work with ASD diagnosed teenagers/young adults who I can guarantee will ask me about it and find it confusing!
  15. Doctor Who

    Why though it's a genuine question, having the Doctor simply changing to a female trivializes a very complex transition without the necessary context to our real world, it could leave children questioning things they wouldn't have necessarily done so which can be harmful without the proper education and support networks, you have to look at the high rates of suicide in young trans-gendered people. I also stand by the notion that every child isn't born having to question their sexuality or gender some people seem to think it should just like now we live in a world where everyone isn't forced into their specific straight gender role. To all the people who are saying it's equality and anyone upset by it is part of the problem I'd suggest going on twitter there are bunch of angry militant feminists with far too much vitriol than is necessary, if it's a moment to celebrate why not do just that than saying you won't rest till every major role is a female, till every white male voice is surpressed, that's not equality that is actual sexism.
  16. Doctor Who

    Here's one way I've started to think about it over the last couple of hours....I'm a 33 year old man who grew up with the Doctor as my hero kind of, it wasn't superman or batman or spiderman it was always the Doctor. I wanted to grow up to be HIM. I aspired to be like him I'd even argue I learn moral lessons from him.By extension I've always found I could relate to him, now he is a woman it's very strange...where does that leave children who have grown up wanting to be New Who and now suddenly find their hero is a woman? Does a child suddenly question their gender when previous they would never have done so? Again nothing wrong with people questioning their gender/sexuality but is there really a need for Doctor Who some escapist time travel fiction to me the show that is giving that to the audience? Also doesn't the fact that the Doctor can just regenerate into a female somewhat undermine the struggles many transgender people going through in both making the physical changes and the psychological effects? Again they may well cover this but does Doctor Who really need to be that show? To point to @Serebii comment above I think just having an off hand remark is almost more damaging for fear of offending that it's an easy transition to make. (I do feel the same as you though much like Deep Breath had Calpadi questioning if he was a good man, I'd be happy with an episode where she questions things but then becomes her own character and gets on with it) Just because regeneration exists as a convenience for the show so he can regenerate as anything doesn't mean he has to. It feels weird to take that away from someone and yet somehow because it's been a white male role then that is absolutely fine. If I worked in TV I'd never dream of wanting to take a female role and turn them into a male. I dated a girl once who loved Mulan's depection of a strong female making it in a male world imagine that was recast to a male just because? A lot of the difference lays in this being a continuation of the same story, it's not a reboot, I loved the 2016 Ghostbusters movie, it didn't wreck my childhood it just retold the story and sure this doesn't wreck my childhood but it does mean I don't look at this iteration of the doctor in quite the same way.....
  17. Doctor Who

    Yeah they've completely destroyed any suspense. whilst there were enough hints about one reveal in the last episode the final twist could have been an absolute killer if the BBC did not respond to rumours and speculation. Whilst it may not have been as much of a surprise as it would still be getting reported on but instead the BBC went as far to heavily sign post when he would be appearing killing off any notion of it being a twist by first confirming certain castings along with the coming soon trailers.
  18. Doctor Who

    Calpaldi has been brilliant for me as well. As far as new Who goes I'd say Matt Smith > Peter Capaldi > Christopher Eccleston > David Tennant, totally understand that my order is completely not the popular choice!
  19. Switch eShop Thread

    Yes it does absolutely have them, any time there is a sizeable number of enemies on screen it is pretty terrible in docked mode. In handheld it seems to manage those dips slightly better but it's still noticeable.
  20. Beyond Good and Evil 2

    People in general across the internet seem hyped for this even though there is a general acknowledgement that very little is there game wise. I couldn't less interested if I tried this is not Beyond Good and Evil!
  21. FIFA 18

    No points you can but not coins...one of the ways they clamp down on coin fraud (kinda a battle they have lost to be fair)
  22. New Software!

    Can we get a dark version all this white is burning my eyes!
  23. Switch eShop Thread

    Did anyone play Mr Shifty when it came out? I picked it up and really enjoying it other than the fact I get "an unexpected error" too many times. I've perhaps had it 5 times total and worst of all 3 times last night during the final level which made me want to throw my switch out the window, the difficulty spike on that last level is horrendous.
  24. Atari back in hardware business

    Not HDMI as far as I knew? (Which is why I said smaller HDMI versions, I'm totally aware there are older connection versions) Also they are licensed by AtGames so Atari have never really been big on hyping them up themselves.
  25. Arms

    Beat Grand Prix 4 today, the difficulty definitely ramps up, not sure I will be able to get all the way up to 7 but god I'm gonna give it a good go.
