I was trying to say to the wife I think that may actually have somewhat motivated the timing. I remember reading somewhere that there is an active hatred for sport as it shows off our Western life style that we have all this money to pour into sports events. So I wonder if the fact they were playing the world champions in Paris had some bearing? Similar to how London was attacked right after the successful Olympics bid.

This reddit live thread is doing a fairly good job at pulling through all the news sources, there are however unsubsiated things being posted; https://www.reddit.com/live/vwwmdb26t78v Thoughts go out to all those affected, this is so scary and sadly shows how easy this can happen.

This is my biggest problem with the dashboard don't understand why achievements can't sit in that first tier of the side menu after friends and stuff do easier access... I still hate also how B on the dashboard has odd behaviour. To be perfectly honest it feels more like a reskin than a actual new OS...the performance improvements are more as a result of the features they have removed.

How did people find the single player? I really enjoyed it but seems its got a fair bit of flack around the internet. As someone who played 3,4 and ODST for the first time as part of the Master Chief Collection I certainly think this was up there. 343 have managed to nail that Bungie loop of 30 seconds of awesome combat repeated.

Ok my single player list of games is finally coming together; Super Back to the Future 2 Life is Strange Episode 5 Tales from the Borderlands Episode 5 Minecraft Story Mode Episode 1 Rare Replay Puyo Puyo Press X to Not Die Sunset Overdrive Rise of the Machines DLC Pneuma: Breath of Life Battlefield: Hardline

This guy made his views known.... I would say "real consequences" it a somewhat exaggerated viewpoint. He has made a crap ton of money in a "luxury" industry (I mean this in terms of it not being a vital service) he should be counting grateful something he has a career at all...the people who watch with adblocker are still giving him views....

If relocation is an option for a role they have to have a clearly outline the distance, I don't think there is a legal limit in the UK. I know I'm in Canada so I'm slightly different but for example in all our contracts it says anyone can be relocated within 50kms of their home office. A lot of people have left as a result of being screwed over, knew one person who already drove 60kms to work and then they moved them 50kms further away so they suddenly at a 110kms commute which would take hours especially in Winter. So yeah I guess my point is if its in her contract there isn't a lot she can do

Well I don't understand it so I won't be paying. It's the same reason I don't particuarly understand why people subscribe to twitch channels. I'm right in thinking that there are no videos hidden behind the paywalls its literally just sub only mode in chat and emots? If actual video content is hidden on twitch then I can understand perhaps why people play. For me twitch doesn't offer up enough variety in terms of what I'm watching, its all basically just the same with endless people playing on their own in a room, its not for me. Also Red? Could they really not think of anything else?

Hmmm see I flipflop with this one, as a kid I hated it. Much like Gale and Zemerkis I've always thought time travel would be fascinating to be able to go back and see your parents when they were younger see what they grew up in and how they become what they are etc... so the first movie was incredible Back to the Future 2's vision of the future was incredible as a child and I got a real bang out of the alternate 1984 because of the all the time travel shenanigans that were going on. Back to the Future 3 by comparison felt dull and a step too far removed...I understand why they went that far back to show the creation of Hill Valley etc... It didn't have all the characters I'd grown to love and the descendants in some instances felt too far removed. Now as an adult I can accept it for what it is...a genre piece. It was obviously an homage to the Wild West genre with it's own unique twists related to the time travel. I also think it brings so much full circle with regards to Doc and Martys relationship, their own character development and so much more. It has a bunch of neat touches that you only pick up on after countless viewings and the ending is still extremely poignant. Gale and Zemerkis also have always said traveling to the future never interested them in the least bit so this seems to go further down that rabbit hole of where we come from. Marty saw the birth of his parents and his immediate family in Back to the Future and saw the creation of his hometown in Back to the Future 3.

Unless I completely missed it I couldn't see a thread. So welcome the future guys, hows it going? I'm celebrating by going to a Back to the Future Marathon and cannot wait! There's a bunch of stuff out there on the internet from the Pepsi Perfect debacle to endless memes... Even Waterloo station got in on the act: and countless articles: http://newsthump.com/2015/10/21/everything-is-shit-because-we-live-in-marty-mcflys-dystopian-alternative-timeline/ Share your favourites here!

Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens
flameboy replied to Hero-of-Time's topic in General Chit Chat
Man that poster is actually pretty spoilery about one thing. I know it was heavily hinted but still, the internet is the worst. Only thing that's happened in media this year was Kathy coming back to Eastenders. -
Blimey that will keep you busy! I'll join for Quiplash if you give me a heads up! So @Nintenchris and myself will once again be engaging in football based battle. Last year I actually smashed it by winning all but one of the games and I expect to do the same again! This year we have a 100% completely new slate of nine football games to play which neither of us have played before. We will be warming up a bit before but mostly will be going in completely blind just like last year. As the image says above donations will mean if whoever you donate to wins you'll win a prize!

Good list of games you got going there! Mine so far is looking like this; Life is Strange Episode 5 Tales from the Borderlands Episode 5 Minecraft Story Mode Episode 1 State of Decay Valiant Hearts Ori and the Blind Forest FIFA 16 Halo 5 Multiplayer Will also be soliciting votes for retro game to start with!

Thought as it fast approaches I'd come in and let you guys know who will be playing where and when. There are still potentially opportunities to get involved with each team so reach out to the hosts and see if they have space. Here are the potential teams in order of when the events starts (as things start could all be subject to change); Team England North DATE TBA @Shorty and @jayseven (I know the make up of this group is not confirmed) Team Wales 7th November 8am GMT @Jimbob and @Cube Team Canada 7th November @ 8am EST/1pm GMT @flameboy and @Nintenchris Team England South 14th November @7am GMT @Goafer @Happenstance @Mike1988uk (I've written 7 as assuming this is the case as has been with past years) If I have any of that is wrong let me know and I'll update this thread. What kind of games is everyone thinking of playing for people to watch? Only thing we currently have planned if the football challenge which I am the champion of!
