They've put up a proper video. It's in a broken mono though :/

https://streamable.com/fitup So I woke up hearing about the flub of La La Land been announced Best Picture when in actuality it was Moonlight. Only just watched it, didn't expect it to last so long in the limbo. The guy apologises, but it was totally the womans fault. He was unsure, rightly so, and she went ahead and announced it without a second thought. Word is there's duplicates of all the envelopes, I guess as a contingency, and he accidentally ended up with the Best Actress instead of Best Picture. The cast all dealt with it pretty great though. As noted online, if he'd ended up with Best Make-up then it probably would have been instantly spotted. "And the Academy award for Best Picture goes too...Suicide Squad". (oh yeah, Suicide Squad is an Oscar winning movie, but given the other nominees in the Make Up category I guess it deserves it). Anywho full list http://oscar.go.com/winners/

err...anti-social youths?

Not as stupid as fighting the eye itself.

Yay! Didn't this have a habit of happening with the Wii and Wii U too, like games that required a specific controller, or couldn't work with just the screenpad (whatever it was called).

I kinda liked the game. edit: anywho trailer just went up Also GOH if you dislike what they did to the lore in the first one, a second One Ring isn't going to please you. Also I guess it covers how it loses his powers, Celibrimbor gets split from him. And then you'll need to build up your power base again. Also Balrog and Ringwraith boss fights in this one I guess. Also Sauron has a body (though him being a big flaming eyeball is only a movie thing, but design wise it's obviously pulling from the movies)

CyberRat had been playing it tail end of last year and it looked kinda fun. Something I might pick up down the line, though not an immediate buy for me. Not sure it'd require encyclopedic knowledge mind.

It's from a series of promo images they've done, in this case it's Newcastle (that being Tyne Bridge), which is where I currently reside. Radgie would be a Geordie word for...yob I guess. I guess a more familiar locale: https://twitter.com/PlayStationUK/status/835851926923141121 I quite like the caption for this one (Manchester has two football teams, City and United) https://twitter.com/PlayStationUK/status/835867027969470464 https://twitter.com/PlayStationUK/status/835836830574522368 https://twitter.com/PlayStationUK/status/835791525158105092 https://twitter.com/PlayStationUK/status/835806626086957058 https://twitter.com/PlayStationUK/status/835776428587155456 https://twitter.com/PlayStationUK/status/835821721970102273 And of course on Twitter someone is noting that actually she's on the Gateshead side. (a mistake I learnt not to make early on). No idea if there's similar globally. As for other Geordie stuff I had posted a video about some in English v English in December.

Target leaked it, expected to be announced properly tomorrow.

Passengers I can see the mixed reviews. It sort of has the set up for something a bit more than it goes for, It's overall kinda solid, and nothing really "wrong" with it, but I guess it's a bit...flat. Maybe some sequences could have been shortened to give other moments a bit more time to expand upon. The ship itself was pretty neat. Even if it is not really suitable for the 5,000+ people on board (there's only one bar, and one waiter at the bar. There's only one auto-doc. etc). Also they didn't seem like a believable couple (one thing being the age difference which I looked it up, and Google automagically suggested Chris Pratts age alongside hers so I guess not only one being "they seem weirdly aged"). I'd have said maybe an older actress, would tie in a bit more with her characters backstory for being on the ship I think too.

Say what you will about the film, the soundtrack was great.

It still tickles me the response for "you can sleep with two celebs as long as they rhyme" "Natalie Dormer and a clone of the former".

Let's you play your PC games on your phone if you've got Geforce Experience set up. Kinda requires that you have a controller (I've a Moga, but you can hook up DS3/DS4/n maybe Xbox stuff) but I imagine some mouse only games are fine.

Precision glassware designed to deal with wide temperature ranges and variety of chemicals? Nah can get them in pound land.

http://www.siliconera.com/2017/02/18/final-fantasy-vii-remake-gets-first-gameplay-image-including-first-boss-fight/ Not hugely surprising, but seems it's mostly going as a bit of a FFXV reskin, rather than just taking original game and polishing it up with some higher res models n such.

I wonder if the size of those armies is something you'll get to control, or just "background" (was a few times in previous games where like in the distance you'd have armies fighting and such as you're going through the level).

I like it's the "Dean Double-Bill". Seen a few folks do these films back to back. Not a common sight.

Had been wanting to play Pokemon TGC with my younger siblings for an age. Saw this at the counter of the game shop I go to, only a tenner (so less than a full new deck) and I had some credit. Also Pikachu Libre!

Strikes me as something better asked in a more technical place.

I'd guess it's a side effect of making the game for PS4 Pro? I'd also point out that it's likely some games can't hit 60fps without significantly impeding the graphical quality of the game. I imagine that for 90% of people they'd favour nicer looking games over hitting a consistent 60fps.

It's possible it wasn't a thing when the conference was on

As Ethan said it's closer to Lifeline/gamebook than the RPGs on PC. And afaik it's a prequel anyway, so story wise you wouldn't be missing much. The app company has a similar gameplay app out that's a standalone story if an established franchise is putting you off.
