  1. Yeah, I don't know how much I believe what I wrote, so much as that is the level of restraint I aspire to. One thing for certain is that I have finally learnt my lesson with xBox so unless they do something completely bonkers that will not be sat under my TV next gen. Certainly a streaming subscription box does not appeal.
  2. I'm going to try and wait for the "slim", unless we hear rumours about a pro, as that approaches.
  3. If that translates to £500 I will definitely not be buying it. If that price included the VR headset then I would seriously consider it. I really think I will finally be more sensible with my purchasing decisions this next generation though.
  4. You don't really see the individual strands of hair on a furry animal so the first one is most successful as being pale it more just hints at the texture and you're not so drawn to the individual hairs.
  5. Optimised SSD technology sounds awesome if it even comes close to that Spiderman demo - you'll be whizzing through those menus like a demon, Mal. I love the idea of 3D audio but anything I've tried has been fairly underwhelming so I hope they do genuinely make some strides in that area.
  6. Definitely in order. It's not like 4 is just out and you want to play it along with other people. Plus I think people have implied the earlier ones don't hold up that well so going back would be hard. I'd just blast through them on easy so you're mostly playing for the story and experience not the challenge.
  7. I want to get into more Welsh music, both modern and traditional/folk music. As a side note I have been the the location this video was filmed a few times, it's a lovely area.
  8. I'd invest in the holder if it came with a NintendoLand style minigame collection and future support was just limited to games "enhanced with VR experiences" like they're adding to Mario Odyssey (and as an example for a future game, Animal Crossing just play like normal, but maybe going to the museum or decorating your house or some even celebrations like the fireworks on New Year's Eve could be in VR etc.) As far as I can work out the whole of breath of the wild will be playable in VR (though it's not super clear) and that would be torturous , holding the entire console and controls up to your face for more than 5 minute bursts and as you say couldn't look great and I'm super surprised the console can cope with rendering it, even at what would end up being SD resolution.
  9. I think we knew or at least suspected VR was coming to Switch even before the console was launched due to comments from Nintendo, so what do you all think of this take on it? It looks like fun and probably the best use of Labo so far but I won't be getting it. I would like if they would bring out a padded and strapped headset that clicked the switch in on its rails and had built in motion sensing then you could use a joycon in each hand and would be a good basic setup for maybe £50 with some software?
  10. I'm now FriendlyGroke across the 3 console gaming platforms I use, which is nice.
  11. wow that's pretty generous. not the sort of thing I used to see when I had prime, just recoloured skins and such. Still miffed about Nintendo's paid online though. Not touched splatoon 2 since they introduced it
  12. Why's Angela Lansbury announcing Bill and Ted 3?
  13. I'd love to know what's going on now we've had that new vote. They've voted no to the deal we have and now no to a no deal brexit, so what does that leave? As far as I can guess it will be tinkering with this deal which no one actually thinks is good and returning it to the vote and repeat this process until enough MPs get sick of it and it eventually passes even though no one is actually any more keen on it.
  14. Pokemon Sword and Shield were accurate rumours. It's a British-style region called Galar. As I'm currently playing Polemon Lets Go and not particularly enjoying it not sure how excited I am for this yet. First video is just the game footage and new starters. Second video has some men chatting and not giving much extra away.
  15. yes, it was recently on TV. Channel 5. I should have known.
  16. I don't know why I thought John Wick was going to be good or at least enjoyable - i has Keanu Reeves in it. It's not even that Keanu Reeves is a bad actor, he is not an actor. He is a reader of the script and a moving abouter of the set. and his reading of the script is like it's a first time readthrough in a language he doesn't speak. Maybe there were just a lot of memes involving it so it seemed like people were talking about it more than they were and there seemed some excitement about the sequel? I don't know. It just seemed a super generic action movie, like one of a thousand Jason Statham movies you don't realise exist until you see them on an obscure channel at midnight.
  17. I guess I figured this forum wasn't the best place to whore out my gay-themed blogs. Though I did like the little Joe GIF I made. That was probably over a decade old by now and I don;t know if I have it about any more. ... Good lord. I remember the file was called joebit, so I just searched joebit gif and got a surprising amount of lesbian porn in the image results.
  18. What a world I'm missing out on by having signatures disabled. I can't even remember if I still have mine.
  19. What's the actual fold like? Is it flat like the renders or wrinkled and weird like I think I've seen in other products.
  20. They don't need an excuse, they have a reason: people keep buying them at full price. Other publishers don't reduce the prices out of the goodness of their hearts, they do it because people stop buying the game at the price they're selling it.
  21. I need to have another go at Majora's Mask. I think the timed aspect just changes the Zelda vibe so far from how I play the game and stresses me out but I think I could probably get over and enjoy it.
  22. surprised at the accuracy as the individual question results where all over the place.
  23. RDR 2 was my first rockstar game, and I guess I had too high expectations but the only thing I found better than other games I've played was the graphics. I've been wanting to play it on the TV and find it bonkers you can't use the pro controller. Ive never really got into handhheld mode I guess I should take advantage especially as pokemon would suit it better than many games.
  24. while I'm not doing anything illicit online and I actually find it quite convenient that all the info you need is there in one place when you need it, it just makes me feel a bit dirty the way everything is collected about you but more they way these big companies seem so deceptive/evasive about what they have on you and what they do with it. It always seems to be more, and worse than what they admit to. honestly they way i half heartedly go about it I;;m probably just making my life harder for myself without truly going under the radar but I'm getting increasingly disillusioned with most aspects of the modern world and where it's headed I feel like I have to do something even if it is a futile effort.
  25. Do you think you'll move more over to digital now you have the tablet or do you think that you'll keep a mix of traditional media in there.
