Julius Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 Pre-orders in preparation for my most anticipated day of the year Star Wars: The Last Jedi OST Star Wars: The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi Star Wars: The Last Jedi: Incredible Cross-Sections And also got this T-shirt to wear for my many (many) viewings of the film!
Eenuh Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 So I finally bit the bullet (as prices kept going up) and ordered our tickets to go to Italy over the Easter break! Planning to fly into Milan, stay there for two nights, then move on to Florence for a few days (possibly also visit Siena and Pisa) and then go to Rome! Now I just need to sort out all the hotels/rooms, train tickets, museum tickets, sightseeing tours etc. And learn some Italian. Fun! Looking forward to it though! 2

I might be able to get some recommendations for Florence. My friend's dad gave me some when I was there because he lived there for some years (or was from there, I forget). Although you definitely need to go to Piazzale Michelangelo (which you can climb up but there's lots of stairs so @Fierce_LiNk will get his legs workout) and see the view from there. I can forward a list of recommendations from my Milanese friend if you want? Not been myself so can't vouch for it, but I trust him!
bob Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 When in Rome, I recommend the Square with all the cats!

I went with school when I was 18, so I know of some places to go to, but it has been quite a while. I just remember the city being lovely, plus we can take the train from there to Siena and Pisa. So far on my list are: - the Duomo - the Uffizi Galleries - Basilica San Miniato al Monte (gives an amazing view of the city) - Palazzo Vecchio - Ponte Vecchio Any more tips are welcome! Also, if he lives in Milan, tips for that city are welcome too haha. We'll try and visit the football stadium and of course check out the Duomo and the Galleria Vittorio. 2 hours ago, bob said: When in Rome, I recommend the Square with all the cats! I just had to look it up, is that the Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary? Caaaaats! Might have to go there!
bob Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 2017 I just had to look it up, is that the Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary? Caaaaats! Might have to go there! [emoji3]That's the one. The actual sanctuary was closed when we went there, but the surrounding area is filled with super friendly stray cats everywhere you look. 1
Ike Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 Had some credit at Grainger games. I swear I'll play Okami some day. Picked up a second copy of DQIX so I can replay it without deleting my original save. 1 1
Ganepark32 Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Having finished up the third season of Mr. Robot, I was looking for something different to watch and settled on giving this a try. Looking forward to giving it a go. Was never that fussed with Game of Thrones as there's something that just doesn't appeal to me about it so do worry this may fall that way too but I got it cheap and have heard it doesn't quite toe the same lines as GoT so fingers crossed.

Should see a dramatic increase in speed after getting this in January. Best thing we ever did, went from sub-par speeds of less than 2Mbps right up to... *checks* 75Mbps 1
martinist Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 I'm sitting at 6-8Mbps at the moment. Said i would get around 70-80Mbps after it's connected up. 2
Happenstance Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Had an urge to try and watch all the old Godzilla movies but they are proving quite hard to get over here so far so I figured I could at least buy the latest one while I work on getting the others.
Goafer Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 I bloody love it. I've had it all of about 4 days and I'm already disappointed every time I'm in the car and I can't control the stereo with my voice.
Ganepark32 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 151a by Kishi Bashi. Randomly came across it in a trailer for something and feel in love with it so picked up a download of it.
Happenstance Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Few more purchases. You may notice a theme.
bob Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Few more purchases. You may notice a theme.I didn't know they had made AOT films. Are they any good?

I watched them last night with @Goafer. From what I’ve read they’re thought of as pretty terrible but I thought they were ok as long as you kind of just let them be their own thing instead of comparing too much with the series. 1
drahkon Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 For 20 bucks on the PSN store. Always wanted to give it another go and I've never bought it in recent sales. Now I just thought: "Fuck it." 1
Will Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Flights back to the UK for my best mates stag do. Can't wait.
