Well my Christmas present for myself might be sorted then...

DELL G5 15 5587 i9-8950HK/16/1TB+256GB SSD/GTX1060 6GB This one out of the two. That processor is going to chew through anything you throw at it. I have a desktop variant of the same and its easily one that can not just play games but it will run work like a breeze too.

Gomez will be fit for the weekend apparently. Robertson and Salah still doubts

After spending a lot of time in Fallen Order I think its safe to say that this is the most fun I have had in a Star Wars game for a while now. I would however not recommend anyone play it on Jedi Grand Master level just because you might not enjoy it as the enemies start attacking you like they are on steroids haha and your parry has to be on point. Things that I find interesting For some reason I feel like I am playing Ubisoft's - Prince of Persia anytime I run a wall The Lightsaber duels are fun at first but after you learn to parry and use it to your advantage things get a little predictable unlike Sekiro where your parrying was far more tedious and required a much better mastery of blocking and when to attack The game never forces you to block completely and maybe its how they planned it to make it seem a bit more like SW but at times I felt like getting ambushed by more than three enemies never left me thinking I had to do more than just block and use my open slots to counter the next move The climbing feels like a Tomb Raider game and I think that is now the gold-standard for PC platforming as it has some of the best mechanics when it comes to traversing large landscapes I have seen in a while I started out on a keyboard but I moved to a joystick (an Xbox one at that) and it felt like I was liberated from the struggle of traversal just because I find that playing these kinds of games with a joystick makes more sense. There isn't anything that requires ultra-precision but the benefit of a KB is the force skills layout which I still think the joystick does well. The skill-tree is pedestrian at best but I suppose you could really make things difficult for yourself and learn in lines versus going with a more horizontal finish approach and make the game more fun. Explore, explore, explore. The more time you spend doing this, the more fun it will be when you start to give enemies a run for their money and while most exploration really opens up the skill tree more and gives you saber improvements they will become much more important later on when the enemies get tougher to deal with. All in all, its a fun game and I highly recommend it to anyone who has played the old KOTORs, a recent Tomb Raider game or likes games where exploration can sometimes detract from the actual level. @nudge you're going to like this a lot. The cinematics are reminiscent of some of the SW series and the animations.

The way you talk about it, you make it sound like collapsing at random is the norm. It can happen at random, but most of the time it's related to a prior condition. And yes many diabetics are otherwise quite healthy. This man however was elderly, lives in an area with below-average life expectancy, and was described by witnesses as looking ill. Not to mention that him being in a jobcentre suggests he's extremely likely to be from a lower-income background, and so extremely likely to have compounding health conditions. Maybe it will come out in later news that the man was in peak physical condition besides the diabetes, and really did die at complete random. However, if you don't make an effort to exclude the obvious surrounding circumstances, and thousands of similar prior cases, it's pretty easy to make reasonable assumptions about the situation. If you make assumptions that all of the far less likely options are true, then yeah maybe it's a non-story.

Feels more and more like this election is stumbling towards a Conservative majority. The Lib Dems are ironically becoming the party that ensure Brexit does in fact happen, by shouting and screaming that Labour are a pro-Leave party. Absolute nonsense. Labour are offering the only credible and democratic option for preventing Brexit which is negotiating a deal and holding a second referendum. If the country still votes to Leave then, even as a Remainer, you can't justify staying in the EU. If the country votes to Remain in that instance then Labour are the party that have prevented Brexit. The Lib Dems have absolutely zero chance of a majority so if they really believe in stopping Brexit they should be supporting Labour. This election isn't about Brexit for the Lib Dems, it's about the Lib Dems. Swinson is trotting out that she won't use Lib Dem votes to put Corbyn in number ten but that means she won't use the Lib Dem votes to stop Brexit so can't deliver on her one key campaign promise. Labour aren't innocent either. By deluding themselves that they could win an outright majority rather than reaching out to the other parties, they too are ensuring that Brexit will happen. Onto the media. It's astounding that if you type "Russian interference report Brexit" into Google, you'll see articles from the Guardian who are so pro-Corbyn that they'll get laughed off by anyone who isn't already a Labour supporter, and one article from the BBC from last week. It's nothing short of a disgrace that the national media in this country refuse to talk about what appears to be blatant corruption from Boris Johnson as an individual, linked to the Brexit vote. There are independent MPs and journalists all over Twitter warning us that there are serious, shocking revelations in this Russia report and that there's no reason for it not to have been put before parliament and the public. You can forget about Tory, Labour, Lib Dem, Leave, Remain. If this is the case, Johnson is covering up this report and withholding information that should be public in a way that we'd all have called absolutely shocking if Russia or North Korea had been reported to do the same just 5 years ago. Now it's just become accepted even by the public that this whole thing is a game where nothing matters. There isn't even a pretence anymore, or an attempt to give a convincing reason why it's alright that this report hasn't been publicised. And why would there be? I expect The Sun and The Telegraph not to be probing into something that could damage the Conservative party but where's the scrutiny from the BBC? Sky News? I've actually given up caring now. We as a country are going to get what we deserve. Five years of Boris Johnson, a known liar that appears to be, at best, compromised, and at worst, in the pocket of Vladimir Putin. Russia wanted Trump, they got him, and their interference in the US election has been successfully covered up for almost a full term of his presidency. Russia wanted Brexit, and they're going to get it, they're going to successfully destabilise the West by putting money in the back pocket of greedy politicians for a second time, and while the UK have put up a fight against it, it's a fight we're almost certain now to lose. This isn't up for debate. If I'm wrong, that report would have been published. Unless a miracle happens and the Conservatives are prevented from reaching a majority then this country is headed to a dark place under Johnson's premiership.

I enjoyed it for what it is. Still cant get behind the womens divison, the bastard Pac is looking good, surprised Young Bucks took another L but was happy with the match, glad Scropio Skys getting a lot of attention, and I didn't mind the Cody/Jericho ending as its building to something. Cant believe people have moaned and complained about wanting The Attitude Era back and then thought Omega/Mox was too graphic. Wrestling fans are the worst part about wrestling.

Lost one of my old friends this week. Wolfgang had been an 04 fan since his teenage years and left is sadly on 65 years old after a life of hard mining and then jazz band playing in one of the local Gelsenkirchen bands. Great Guy and sadly missed. Maybe 04 will remember him in the next programme! https://www.waz.de/staedte/gelsenkirchen/dieser-gelsenkirchener-blues-service-ist-ausgezeichnet-id212373009.html
