............. I watched Creed. It's basically my favourite boxing movie. Great story, interesting characters and some of my favourite 'sports' scenes from any film. The camera work was especially fantastic. Also Michael B Jordan, I love the man. Clear Eyes and all that. The score was a little lacking, apart from that one moment, and it's perhaps a smidge too short, but those are some very small niggles indeed. I'm an emotional mess ATM, so take this with a pinch of salt. Creed made me cry. It made me hopeful and it made me incredibly excited all at once. I loved this film.

So is anyone actually thinking of getting this on PC or are we all sticking with D1 platforms?

I spend too much time watching Youtube. Help me do more of it. Who/What are your favourite Youtube accounts to follow? Nerdwriter - Well produced film essay with the occasional foray into politics. Cinefix - Film stuff. Less essays and think pieces than Nerdwriter; more 'TOP 10 lists!!' Uraverageconsumer - Tech stuff. Very well made, updates regularly. Bonus points for him and his GF being absolutely fucking adorable. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmeds0MLhjfkjD_5acPnFlQGiant Bomb - Duh. The Gamemakers Toolkit - This guy strips down game mechanics and explains them, how they effect the player and..all that. If you're into how games are made, I think this is worth a follow. NoClip - Because I think we need more of this sort of stuff in Video Games. Also who doesn't like Danny O'Dwyer?

-- Totally put the film in the wrong thread. I should stop doing that. I like Arrival, I thought it was 'Good' rather than 'Okay'.

Arrival I didn't love it as much as the directors previous works (mainly Enemy and Sicario), but it's still a fantastic entry into the science fiction genre. Hopefully it's successes allow studios to take less...cartoonish looks at what science fiction can do as a genre.

Motorsport Manager So like many a british teenager, I spent most of the early 00's playing entirely too much Football Manager. I could say that I was somewhat addicted to it. Motorsport Manager isn't quite as deep as that, but it's scratching the same itch, although I think it's lack of depth is what will ultimately push me away from the game in the long run. The only negative I can find atm is that it seems almost as if I (as the manager of a team) am a none factor. Much like the iOS version, I can't shake the feeling that eventually my team will become successful because the game dictates it, rather than through any skill of my own. Going to stick with it for now though as I love this sort of stuff.

Stories Untold An infuriating bug that required me to throw 20 minutes away whilst I restarted the final episode aside, its really fucking good little game. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Not seen it myself, but I've not heard anything good about it. General consensus on the places I frequent is that its actively bad. So yeah, I think you can skip this one. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I watched Hardcore Henry. I fucking hated it.

Holy shit. The guy from Dream Team made it big in the US. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I guess, although if they're carrying over my Warlocks face, how much harder would it be for them to do the same with a shader I bought? I understand they want to sell it to me again, but it still seems a little stinky. On the plus side, seeing as none of what made my characters mine will be making the jump to the sequel, it might be time to consider jumping platforms. I've got a group of friends who play on XBOX, and it might finally make sense to pick one up to party with them.

I've had a bad week. I needed this.. It was also my Birthday. GF pre-ordered me this:

I'll be honest, I'm really not all that bothered by this news. The only issue I do have is that people are going to lose the things they've purchased with real money. That part seems real shitty, especially when it seems like it should be so easy to offer them for free if those purchases are tied to PSN/XBOX account ID's. 'However, they will remain available to you in Destiny 1'. Because the only other option there would be to go out of their way and delete them? This Age of Triumph sounds interesting though. I could throw myself into a few more hours of Destiny, provided it's not too PvP heavy, which it likely will be.

I've fallen back from Overwatch since I started Titanfall 2, but from what I can remember D.VA has been having a bit of a rough time recently. First there was that eject bug, then a pretty substantial nerf and now this. She's my favourite character too, but in recent weeks she's been damn unplayable.

Based on absolutely no evidence I'm going to predict that Shadow of War is a bad game that fails to build on what came before it. Come at me!

Has the open 'beta' improved any of the bugs that were present in the closed beta? Surely the game isn't launching like it was three weekends ago?

Sorry, I've got no idea. I just wanted to say.. People still use Firefox?

Looks like no Virtual Console upon launch for the Switch. Personally, that wouldn't bother me all that much, but it's just another reason to think Nintendo has failed to learn anything from the Wii U.

We borrowed my GF's brothers Guitar Hero 3: LoR and World Tour disk/equipment and have been playing that for a few days now. I think the end result is that I'm going to get myself a copy of RB4 for the PS4. As much as I enjoy Guitar Hero Live, it's replayability is a bit of an issue with the way it handles it's online play. I'm just not willing to hand over money to continue to play the same 6-7 song's I'd like to play whenever I load the game up.

Okay, I signed up for the free trial, eager to dive head first into the trenches of WW1......................but BF1 isn't available in full using Origin Access. You can play online (limited number of maps) and there are 2 campaign missions available but I'd rather experience it in one go. Seeing as I've got the week, I've taken a look at this Aragami game. I've heard middling reviews, but it's free and if I don't like it, I've not lost anything. Shame about BF1 though.

Why the hell was this not part of the Switch conference? This is a HUGE deal. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Cause Nintendo has no fucking idea what its doing when it comes to anything that's not making games? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I've never played a Vampire game, would it be a barrier to entry? Fuck. I just said barrier to entry. Gonna take a shower. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I *think* you can play for 10 hours.

Fuck. I want to play BF1 but I feel like I'd be cheating the devs out of lunch if I play the system like that. What to do..
