365games.co.uk has a 10% off code for all board and card games, use code "GAME" at checkout for the next seven days. Don't know if it's a good selection or prices as I know nothing about board games but I've used them several times for video games where the prices were good and delivery fast so may be worth a look.

I'm almost playing DA: Inquisition. Decided on a male human Mage which took a lot of agonising in its own right, then head into the creator, take an age to make him look ruggedly handsome but as soon as the game starts he looks like a melted waxwork. Spent most of the day's game time restarting it and still not happy. May actually play something else and come back to this as it's got on my nerves now.

Hope all you Americans are taking advantage of the first live broadcast of Eurovision in your Country ever, and the fact we are already pandering to you by having Justin timber lake as a live act on it. Still excited though!

My iPad was free, so until I get a free android/Windows one I'll happily put up with a few misplaced ads I guess. Kinda disappointed with all the mobile/ tablet OSes tbh, though.

Alone else getting the ads in a weird place?

I finished Murdered Soul Suspect today. I enjoyed it well enough. The story was fine, I didn;t guess the ending, and the gameplay was a style I enjoy, though with no map and being able to walk through walls I did get myself turned around a bit sometimes. Also, and I know this is going to sound stupid when you play as a ghost but the creepy music and effects even when you're not at a jumpy bit meant I felt a bit on edge even when I was just wandering around which didn't jive with the relaxing time I want from a point and click game (it's the reason I didn't like the demons too - they'd be fine in a different game). Ghost trick managed to be dead and fun It all felt very budget too, which I can certainly forgive in many ways (it didn't bother me in Sherlock Holmes Sin and Punishment - sound was awful) but when they use the same character model down to hairstyle/colour and clothes for two characters you have to interact with in the first scene it's a bit far down the money saving path.

Anyone tried Fallen London? I'm enjoying the story aspect without really having a clue what half the stuff Items and stats are doing.

maths, science and English are still the foundation subjects for teaching pupils but stem subjects are the important ones for industry, innovation, economic growth etc. and I only hear it in the news too, mostly about getting women into what are traditionally seen as male professions and the general lack of people going into the fields, both to teach them and fill skilled jobs. The issue being people are trending toward the soft subjects. It's definitely the correct/normal term for it in the uk but you'd have to be talking about this particular issue to bring the term up , else you'd just talk about the specific field.

Oh lord am I annoyed with myself. After finishing ac syndicate recently I went back to liberation as it's the only 3D one I've not completed. Well now I have which is good, but I literally only had 10 minutes left which obviously I hadn't realised at the time so I just spent that time Seemingly killing every named character I'd met without any recollection of who they were or what they'd done. Cue credits. Grrr. Going to have to look up the plot not to actually work out what happened.

having spent some time on tumblr, I can confirm they are all cute af and are all gonna be okay.

That owl's cute, which is clearly the best reason to choose a Pokemon.

They were annoying up until I got to asylum where two are in line of sight at the same time and I'm assuming it's a glitch but they keep seeing me through walls while I'm trying to wait. It doesn't help that I'm not sure of which are the a,b,x,y buttons in a panic as they're opposite to Nintendo and when I'm stood behind them and press the rt button it doesn't register a lot of the time so the demons turn round and devour me.. . I even looked to see in their was a set way on YouTube and it was just a load of people dying all the time and then skirting around them but I really want to kill the bastards now. I think I have plan for tomorrow but I gave up for today.

I bought a couple of games in the xbox indie event. Nice they had decent reductions even without GOLD. Remembered the D4 game when I saw it in the store, and heard interesting things at the time. Shame it sounds like it didn't do well enough to continue the story on to season 2. The other 2 I'd not heard of, and while they only have average reviews sounded like they were worth the low asking price to give them a go.

Holy Mother of God. Whoever decided to mix up the tempo of the gameplay in Murdered: Soul Suspect with the demons needs to have their soul ripped out and dragged down to Hell.

What sort of thing do you paint, Dean? I don't remember ever seeing anything in the what are you drawing thread.

This is similar to my "Games that Beat You" thread that I mysteriously can't find, lol.

I'm surprised how many people are excited about a home console potentially being cartridge based again.

Anyone in the EU (including UK for now, lol) want a 3DS code for Shantae and the Pirate's Curse?

Pretty annoying if you add sale stuff to your basket on a website, and during the check out the prices go up. It ticked over midnight as I was checking out not even that they were in the basket and I'd left them there. You'd think it would give you a few minutes grace to put your details in. The even more annoying thing is the website is still showing the massive 20% off banner and all the prices show up with the reduction at 00:30.

...with an armour-clad woman?

Wow, just watched the Angie TriBeCa pilot and it is the dumbest shit ever. It's got good reviews so I'm not sure what I'm missing as I genuinely didn't even crack a smile, never mind laugh.

I got it as a My Nintendo reward, so for free. I've played and liked a couple of the games in the series but not this one and all the money off vouchers were for games I already have, even the especially for you ones, so I'm not sure how well tailored they are to me personally.

So the rumours are that Retro's NX project is a new IP. What sort of thing would you like to see?

Nintendo are Selling most of its majority stake in Seattle Mariners (keeping 10%), valued at $1.4billion, which should be enough to keep them in the hardware business regardless the fortunes of NX, which I know will be joyous news for many of you NintendoLife

Nothing is free on XO, it's awful for offers, especially if you don't have gold.
