Unless you intend to overclock, and it's more than a "eh I might overclock down the line", don't bother with the K series. (unless things have changed and they don't have the K series as the "unlocked" chips anymore). 6-series is the newest. Check out benchmarks n see if it's 20% better to be worth 20% extra price.

Demo out tomorrow that'll cover Chapter 0 and up to middle of Chapter 1, roughly 1-1.5hrs of gameplay. Won't transfer over save wise though. And another snag being it's on the Japan PS Store.

New Luc Besson sci-fi. I'd maybe not include "From creator of Lucy" in there mind. Fifth Element would do fine. I'm hopeful. Fifth Element is enough to help there. My only major issue is it might end up like Jupiter Ascending where the "world" is just way too big n mainly carried by visual effects n such. Fifth Element was great cos a lot of the "world" was incidental (like one of my fave wallpapers in rotation of the spaceship leaving the port in New York for just a few seconds but you see all the bay has been drained n Statue of Liberty is on a massive "tower" now cos of it. But there's also a lot of hype building up around this, and the graphic novel it's based on (I believe it's a euro comic) is meant to be quite good.

It's on my watchlist, especially as podcast i follow has recently done a Westworld spoiler special so gotta catch up to Westworld before catching up on podcast btw if you're into Westworld maybe check out Humans. The second series started airing the other week. It's British so fairly short (10 episodes iirc). Takes a wee bit to get going n the family can suck at times (though it is mothered by Jen from IT Crowd) but the synths (or whatever they are, I forget the term used) are pretty great especially the errr...,.it's 9am so let's go with the word "woken ones".

It's a mixed bag. US can vote again in 4 years (unless I dunno, some kind of enabling act were passed). Whereas over here once Article 50 is passed it'll be relatively permanent. Decades at the very least. However potentially Article 50 may not be enacted depending on outcome of supreme court decision and subsequent parliamentary vote, or if Scotland manages to put legal brakes on it. though both situations are likely to (and have over here) lead to an increase in hate crime as people now see it sanctioned and justified.

"hopefully". As noted on twitter, America has guns so if racism flairs up it'll be even worse than over here.

I've a feeling not. They've been quite insistent on not having much in the way of the more usual "fantastical" races except as daemons at night. I think it's quite cute, though their "moogle collection campaign" thing was really clunky.

Hooray for President Fart. And hooray for Johnsons and Stien voters. Those people that didn't want to listen when told it's a two party system in the US and you may as well not vote.

Launch trailer. Kinda gives a massive early spoiler though, but not much of one if you'd done the math on the game having two protagonists.

Somewhat interesting video in the development and addition of Moogles to the game. Kinda hoping they intend to knock out a plush toy for it.

yeah you click the little down arrow in the games icon.

http://store.steampowered.com/about/newstore2016 Valve have updated their store front. It's not really an improvement at all tbh. In fact they've done the sin of having their main nav duplicate the side nav. And cos of infinite scroll their footer is inaccessible on the homepage but still included. The main issue is still the store pages which continue to be a cluttered disorderly mess. Man if it wasn't for the fact it's 11:30pm, and I'm no longer paid for this shit and Valve isn't and never would be a client I'd totally tear it to shreds on a technical level but no one will really care.

https://www.humblebundle.com/mobile/board-games-mobile-bundle Bunch of board gaming android apps on HIB. Max price is $5 which is shit tons cheaper than buying physical and than the single price of a bunch of the apps (quite a few board game apps kinda pricey, though I guess cheaper than physical alternative) I'd suggest grabbing it, especially if you're on a tablet as they're cool for "on the go" games, long car trips or whatever. Sure not quite as tacticle, but can take a bunch of games on the go. Oh and Caracasonne doesn't need to manually scored up and packed away which is worth

Andromeda Thresher Maws.

Yeah you would say that you half naked ape, what with your flimsy claws, crappy teeth, poor vision and sense of smell and the only survival mechanism you have is you can sweat while running a marathon. Anywho for those interested this might be a neat and relevant subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/natureismetal/

Quarter to 3/9-3. Hands on either side of the steering wheel. Holding the top of the steering wheel is discouraged because it's likely to cause more damage when an airbag goes off.

So I had a wee thought on this. Now it's no spoiler to know he crashes his car n fucks up his hands. Thing is it's portrayed, in slow-mo with all the bone crunching n everything (it's relatively graphic car crash, I'd imagine anyone whose been in one might not feel so great watching it). But because of the slow-mo you get a good look at his hands, and he's driving using a 10-2, or heck maybe even a 11-1, hand hold. I'm not sure if I should be annoyed at that given he's also essentially texting and driving at the same time, while going quite fast on rainy roads. But still, he'd be mostly fine if he at least held his steering wheel in the proper position while driving. I guess there is a reason the credits end with a driving PSA.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/221910/ Stanley Parable is 80% off (making it £2 in local currency though that'll vary throughout the day depending on judges n MPs n will of people n such). Well worth grabbing if you haven't, skip your Greggs & A Coffee deal(or local equivalent. Timbits n Coffee, Dollar Menu n drink etc) n get on this instead. I'd say it's a few hours worth of playtime but it's like in numerous short bursts of super forth wall breaking fun. Just don't watch any youtube videos on it (since it's short n all).

So to copy from last years and tweak a bit (like literally changing a couple of tenses and a few other bits n bobs): Steam ID: deanbmmv, UK General criteria: Something shortish I'd guess, which'll run counter to what I'll post below. Just aware I can struggle to end many longer games though I do heavily enjoy them. Something singular and straight forward, like I guess Dishonered would be cool. What are your favourite genres? Action/RPG/puzzle/Open-world stuff. What are your favourite games? Final Fantasy IX would be a biggy. I like puzzle game type things (I'm terrible for skinner box mobile games). Witcher 3 was pretty great. Deus Ex was neat. Stanley Parable was kinda unexpected neatness but I've played similar games and they've fallen short. Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? Not hugely. I've a PS4 but it's region locked so I'd guess kinda balls. No Android gifting either which sucks cos there's a few stuff on there I'm interested. Will you take games not on your wishlist? I you think it'd be a good fit, there's like billions of games on Steam now and I do struggle to look through n see if there's anything I might find interesting. Any other information you think relevant? Here's my Darkadia since I might own games on other platforms/not-Steam. I do need to update it though, but it's not too far out http://darkadia.com/member/deanbmmv I probably need to update my Steam wishlist, as sort of before a bit of it is more for me in keeping tabs on games I've an interest in without having to "Follow" it all over my "Steambook" page. In fact looking over it I'm like "I don't know a bunch of these games". So yeah I'll pencil in some Wishlist polishing. I have on on my Darkadia too, though more on console stuff.

Hey Ethan, wanna make your decision to not pick up Titanfall 2 even harder? https://i.imgur.com/N9zFAHF.gifv
