I bought the pack with two ds4s at launch. I do typically have one on charge at all times. You could always attach a phone powerpack. It's all micro-USB after all.

Played again at lunchtime (yay working in the games industry!) Split screen online multiplayer?!? Could this game get any better?

Am I mental, or are we able to play cross platform? http://www.psyonix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=11396&p=222000&hilit=cross+play+party#p221998 I am not mental. Hope it gets sorted soon so that we can invite PC'ers into the rocket fuelled madness, rather than trusting to the matchmaking gods.

Same here. Never had an Xbox so I'm immune from the Halo halo effect. No interest in Destiny at this point.

@Dean: The image in the dictionary next to "Peak physical fitness" is this:

In this side by side... Batfleck/Fatman looks way "bulkier"... than Bale's version to me.

He makes for a pretty chubs Batman. Doesn't look like he'll be soaring over many rooftops. It'll hurt like billy-o when he lands on you though.

Curses, now my typo has been immortalised in a quote! EDIT: Honestly, it's a bit ridiculous to not do it. The whole thing was wrapped up neatly in a bow. Bale's Bruce flies off into the sunset with Selena, JGL's Robin spelunks into the Batcave, becomes the Batman carries on the legend. You can bring in a new director, a change to the man behind the cowl means you can completely revamp the style of everything, the car, the suit, the gadgets, the attitude. I just don't get why you would reboot when you could continue a winning formula. *shrug*

I thought the Nolan trilogy basically left it wide open Gordon Levit to take up the mantle. If rather have seen JGL be the Batman, or someone else take over his role than this bs Afleck reboot. It's like DC don't get what a franchise is. You have to keep building on it. Like Marvel are doing with Avengers.

It's not that what was done was horrible. It was that it was done to a woman purely to motivate a man. You mentioned Robin by way of comparison. Note that Robin is an adversary of Joker as well as an ally of the Batman. Barbara Gordon (to Joker's knowledge) was just a tool to use to get to Jim and the Batman. Nobody is saying that female superheroes can't be harmed. Just that when they are it should be for reasons other than that someone else will be upset that their woman was damaged. Finally, if we are taking the work on its own then you have to accept the Barbara was tortured, shot, stripped, photographed and had those images shown purely to break her father. Then she was dumped in a hospital and forgotten about. Given that Oracle wasn't even conceived of for years later you don't get to call it her "origin story" or say that she didn't break as the last we see of her is a woman crying on a hospital bed begging a man for help. It may be an entertaining story, but that doesn't mean it isn't sexist. You can enjoy problematic stuff and enjoy it, but you should at least recognise that it is problematic. Now, that said, maybe the animated feature will take the opportunity to correct the wrongs. Give Barbara some agency and some dignity and make the story more about her as an individual. In that case I'm all for it. But as it stands I just can't get behind the idea.

Yeah, or he could mutilate a girl I know to teach me a lesson?

If it isn't obvious by now, I'm anti remaking/animating Killing Joke. I agree that you should take the work as a whole and in isolation. But you also have to look at it through the lens of history. In this instance it doesn't stand up well in my opinion.

For an amusing breakdown of why there is racism / sexism but there is not "reverse racism / sexism":

Hmmm, not sure about the Assange thing either. It makes no sense for the clock to tick while you are on the run. Statute of limitations normally applies to the time before you bring a case, not the completion of that case. I'll check with Swedish colleagues at some point.

I see where Ethan is coming from. You could compare someone being raised in Brixton vs someone who was raised on their family farm in Buckinghamshire. Rural =/= Poor necessarily. It's clear from the article, but not Deans comment out of context.

+1 Arkham Knight.

Pretty sure you see the players. Just that because you're scattered over the galaxy the chances of meeting someone you know are vanishingly small. Not sure if the game will try to cluster people together somewhat? Obviously as you near the Galactic Core, I'd expect encounters with people to increase.

We do get the occasional visit from old yellow face in the South. Also, I am off to Dubai for a bit with the lady in September.

It's only fair that if the Queen is in charge of a religion that Philip gets one too.

Sorry... I was compelled to.

Posted from mobile. Whoops. Ending and side quest spoilers...

I too, have defeated Riddler. Is there any point to NG+?

In theory you could meet someone, but the odds aren't great given size of galaxy etc.

Remote Play only works for some games on PS3 I think.
