Missed out on Tesco selling PSVR headset bundles for £75 and games for super cheap. May be for the best to be honest. I feel like it would end up in a drawer.

I like the look of it but have no intention of buying it. I think next gen I will wait to buy a console until I see a Limited Edition I like though.

Nice to see Macaulay Culkin looking well. I loved the mead episode best of the ones I watched so far and will look forward to this one. I don't know why I don't look out for them myself but always like it when they turn up here.

Was surprised to find out one of the Chuckle Brothers was 73. Do wonder why people seemed to be a bit over keen on them not sure what that was about. Sad for the remaining brother as I guess that's his career over.

I think this may be one of my favourite covers of all time

What's the what, new friend.

I've enjoyed his web series and shorts then out of the blue there is an entire feature film on his channel. I don't know why I'm not putting it in good movies, tbh it was enjoyable and well paced and didn't feel like you were watching a youtuber making a film.

An article about the making of the Street Fighter movie. Sounds like a miracle it it ended up on the screen at all. https://www.theguardian.com/games/2018/jul/16/inside-street-fighter-movie-jean-claude-van-damme-kylie-minogue

I guess this is the nearest thing we have to a science thread, I wonder if it's worth creating one? When I was a child, my father would take me trout fishing, and I spent hours marveling from the riverbank at the trouts’ ability to, seemingly effortlessly, hold their position in the fast-moving water. As it turns out, those trout really were swimming effortlessly, in a manner demonstrated above. The fish you see here swimming behind the obstacle is dead. There’s nothing powering it, except the energy its flexible body can extract from the flow around it. The obstacle sheds a wake of alternating vortices into the flow, and when the fish is properly positioned in that wake, the vortices themselves flex the fish’s body such that its head and its tail point in different directions. Under just the right conditions, there’s actually a resonance between the vortices and the fish’s body that generates enough thrust to overcome the fish’s drag. This means the fish can actually swim upstream without expending any energy of its own! The researchers came across this entirely by accident, and one of the questions that remains is how the trout is able to sense its surroundings well enough to intentionally take advantage of the effect.

I have what I believe is a good team, with good moves. The only thing I lack is sharing stones for it. I have the silver cauldron, it's still grindy AF.

Anyone playing pokemon quest? I've got my team up to around 6,500 and it is SO painfully slow to level up enough to move on to the next level never mind the next area. Plus even for a mobile game you pretty much do nothing. I'm not 100% sure why I am playing it, tbh

Just in time for them to kill it off. Though there was that spin-off not sure how similar that is or if they intend to carry along that route. I'm playing Sleeping Dogs which I had planned to speed through, but I guess that was dumb for an open world game as I can't help myself doing the side quests and I am enjoying it so why rush. But it is harder than I was expecting for an open world game to the point where I see a lock box to open and have to decide if I can be bothered to fight the thugs protecting it and the racing can be... frustrating and frequent.

I'm subscribed to that as a podcast and they didn't say it was also a video until way too late for me to go to and watch it, but then the podcast was 15 minutes longer so swings and roundabouts I guess.

I bounced right off the first one - I think I set my expectations too high when everyone said it was like Zelda.

Was the broken headset a casualty of the night out?

Last trailer I posed for this was over 3 years ago - but apparently it is still happening.

Mister Jack, I can't tell if you actually enjoyed that or not. It sounds more like the relief you feel when you get out of an exam does not mean you enjoyed the exam. TME are you not tempted to play the older games? Are they that different?

It's a brawler/action RPG hybrid to kill the beasts for their ingredients then puzzle game cooking. I'd never actually heard of it, but it has good reviews,

I'd enjoy it more knowing robots are doing it - it's more impressive for now.

I just finished D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die. Shame there's never going to be a season 2, because although it was not a stellar game, I would like to know how the story panned out. Sleeping Dogs is next on my hit list, though I'm finding it slightly frustrating going through my list of games as I've no idea which I've bought and which are Games With Gold, which I can no longer play.

poo. the dude doing the sweepstake did give us an update of how everyone needed to do to get through. Maybe I was mixing them up with Portugal, my other team. As you can tell I do not follow it super closely.
