The Mass Effect trilogy! It's a sci-fi RPG by the same developers that they actually made because they wanted to create another game like KOTOR, but with their own setting/universe instead of a licensed one. What makes it special is that it was always intended to be developed as a trilogy, so there is a lot of careful pacing to the narrative, and many of the choices you make in the first game will follow you all the way into the third game. Mass Effect 1 takes a little while to get used to as it's a bit dated by now, and they're still experimenting with the gameplay a bit. Mass Effect 2 is considered a classic by many, as it has the most interesting characters and story, with Mass Effect 3 being more divisive due to some story aspects, but still offering the best gameplay of the trilogy. The only issue is that I don't know which games you can run, but Mass Effect 1 should be fairly forgiveable as it's from 2007 (with the other games being from 2010 and 2012 respectively). But if you can give it a shot, definitely do so as it's probably my single favorite gaming experience, and you already like other games by that developer.

I don't know what the man and woman part has to do with it but I don't mind people asking who I vote for. I can see why people would prefer to keep it private in some circumstances though.

Off to Barcelona on Thursday for 4 nights. Just back from the USA, saw so much.

Das rite! Jesus is such a psychopath and his followers are a bunch of cyberbullies. Role model my ass. This whole "God" thing is a cult.

Probably because he first started his career at City and then wasn't considered good enough for them. And it wasn't until after United already had De Gea that he started looking like a top flight keeper tbh. And while Schmeichel is good, De Gea's pedigree is just that of a much better keeper.

@Fairy In Boots, could you stop please?

That's so haunting, it's like sitting in a truck or car in the middle of an American or Australia outback and just looking at the surrounding hills and scenery, spell-bounding and to think all that is, is NASA's Curiosity all by itself, "Beam me up, please "

There corrected it for you On a serious note it's hard to tell anyway. A lot will certainly depend on how their respective teams handle the new regulations.

I agree with you @carefreeluke like most clubs we have a special bond with our guys who lead the line. The point I was making is one hopes no negativity is placed on our young Tammy as he needs to be full of himself to keep performing at the level that helped find him a spot in the England squad. He has faults, but he is our chosen guy by Frank and we must praise over moaning at him when the ball skips away from him. Gees, just think of Jimmy trapping a ball to remember how bad it really can be On Torres, I believe the reason he got such a easy time with the fans is because of the pain n hurt he inflicted on Liverpool fans through his decision to join us. I never wanted him, thankful for his goal against Barcelona and the way he carried himself during and since leaving the club. I understand he still owns a place less than half a mile from the ground. I am not sure of your age, but when speaking of London Derbies of ten years ago I can assure you those derbies played in the 70's n 80's had a vibe which I very much doubt will ever be equaled again. You have to understand, it wasnt just the football on the pitch that was played out those days. Some of us lived for those games to represent our clubs in a far more challenging manor than the cosy "entertain us" brigade who fill our ground today.

Fingers crossed.

You beat me to it, just saw this and logged back in to post it, what I bloody can't work out is apparently the ref... Taison, 31, made a gesture towards the Dynamo fans and kicked the ball at them before the referee took the players off the pitch in the 77th minute. When they returned five minutes later, Taison was shown a red card. Shakhtar said both Taison and fellow Brazilian Dentinho were targeted and the Dynamo fans were warned twice. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50369594 Why the fuck did the ref take the teams off the pitch and when they returned he THEN showed the player the red card, that was playing right into the hands of the racist bastards, it would have been better in giving him a lecture and maybe a yellow for kicking the ball into the stands.

Going to Ford vs Ferrari (Le Mans '66) on Wednesday

Willian was indeed magnificent yesterday, it's going to be interesting to see how he performs for the rest of the season as in my opinion history tell us he has the odd 1-2 months of good form, then his performances drop. Regarding your comment about Abraham, Chelsea fans seem to have a special relationship or expectations with their strikers. It's, in my opinion, the most difficult position on the pitch but can come under the greatest scrutiny and the biggest groans of discontent you'll get at Stamford Bridge is if the striker is having a poor game, particularly in terms of hold up play. Even the most respected or successful strikers we've had over the years haven't been immune from criticism in this area. Ironically Torres' hold up play was one of the worst we've seen in recent times at the club but he was the most loved and the fans would turn against him a lot less. While on the topic of Torres, he was absolutely adored by our fans, I still remember his first goal against West Ham and the celebrations were class, the atmosphere that day was brilliant in a London derby. That was nearly ten years ago now, I swear the London derbies have lost their buzz over the years, I remember the hostile atmospheres when the likes of West Ham, Arsenal, Spurs used to come.

Did they have a mid season trip to Qatar when they won the treble? If we’d been dumped out of the league cup early like we’d been trying to I’d say go for it. But Unai Emery fucked that up for us.

Beluga whale seen playing catch in viral video ‘may have escaped Russian military spy programme' A beluga whale that was filmed “playing catch” with a group of South African rugby fans may have escaped from a Russian military spy programme, according to researchers. Experts suggest the whale could be Hvaldimir, a malnourished male beluga who is thought to be a lost “spy” animal trained by the Russian Navy. Hvaldimir was first reported in April 2019, when he was discovered near northern Norway with a harness attached to his body and a label that said “Equipment of Saint Petersburg”. The whale has been known to go up to boats to ask for food and play fetch and appears to be tame, suggesting he is used to interacting with humans. Footage of a whale chasing and returning the rugby ball to a group of men has been viewed more than 19 million times on social media. “This is likely Hvaldimir, a once captive whale who may have escaped a Russian military programme,” Ferris Jabr, a science writer for the New York Times and Scientific American, said of the video. “Alone, malnourished, and injured, [Hvaldimir] roams the seas, seeking food & attention from people.” Quad Finn, a researcher of aquatic mammals, and Darren Naish, a zoologist, both supported the theory. A man in the video can be seen wearing a jacket with the logo of a vessel called “Danah Explorer”, which is currently in Norwegian waters. However, the original source of the video is not known. The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research and the Hvaldimir Foundation, who help care for the whale, have not yet responded to a request to verify the theory. Mr Finn has said he believed the animal in the video was Hvaldimir and that the filmed behaviour was “not natural”. “Hvaldimir was taken from the ocean & trained by humans to do tricks like fetching objects in exchange for food,” he said. “That he's malnourished & still dependent on humans for food are likely reasons for what appears to be ‘playful’ behaviour.” Earlier this year, another viral video showed Hvaldimir helping to retrieve an iPhone that was dropped into the water near him. The whale may have become dependent on humans due to hand-feeding and does not appear to be able to successfully hunt and feed for itself, according to the Hvaldimir Foundation. When he was spotted in early September off the Norwegian coast, the whale also showed signs of injuries from boat propellers. Both the United States and Russia are known to have military training programmes for aquatic mammals, such as dolphins and whales, who are sometimes trained to detect sea mines and recover inert torpedoes. A Russian military spokesperson denied in April that Hvaldimir was connected to a training programme but acknowledged that dolphins are sometimes used for military roles. Morten Vikeby, a former Norwegian consul in Murmansk, has offered an alternative theory that Hvaldimir is a therapy animal from a programme for disabled children near the Russian-Norwegian border. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/offbeat/beluga-whale-seen-playing-catch-in-viral-video-may-have-escaped-russian-military-spy-programme/ar-BBWxZVt?ocid=chromentp

Too late I’m afraid.

It's not hard to spot which media outlets back which party. Go into any shop the day after we get another incident like Rees-Mogg's Grenfell comments and see which papers have it on the front page.

4 months in too I'm sure all of this must be killing Tammy whilst sitting 13 points ahead of United.

Most league goals in a league season for Marcus Rashford - 10. Abraham has already equalled that this season

Joker - 7/10 Masterful performance from Phoenix but masterpiece of a film? Do me a favour. Unoriginal, and without much of a plot. I didn’t find it anything special other than an amazing performance from Phoenix.
