I haven't played Control. I may have heard this wrong but I heard it played quite badly on base PS4's, which is what I have.

Didn't know where to put this, but I've put it in here as it's the only place where it can be reasonably on topic. Plus it's more light hearted and for a laugh really. There was an Amber alert (used for abducted or missing children) sent out in Texas three times, whereby they described the suspect as '28 years old, weighing 16 pounds and 3-foot-1, with red-auburn hair, blue eyes, wearing blue denim overalls with a striped long sleeve shirt and carrying a large knife'. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55925674 Oh dear.

Yeah, I'm hoping this will be the beginning of the end (or at least to be more controllable like the flu). Just be nice to see others again without fear of potentially carrying anything (had that possibility at the end of 2019). My nan had her first jab yesterday via a home visit, while my mam had hers last Sunday, so am happy that they've been sorted while the rest of my folks should have the jab in the next few months. My only concern (not sure what it's like in England) is the approach for vaccinations appears to be a tad inconsistent in Wales, as a few people I know in my old workplace in the NHS have had the jab and are only a couple of years older than me, with no underlying health conditions I'm aware of for most. All work in the same office as well (all administrative staff), though I wonder if a senior manager or director is pushing it for them more than anything.

Didn't even know there was another one. Any good? For me I'm finishing off Crash 4 (fuck getting full completion on that), then I'll decide what to play next from there. Got a few choices so will have a think.

EA to start ripping Codemasters apart before spitting out the corpse within a few years, as they've done before. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-02-03-ea-to-release-new-racing-game-every-year-after-codemasters-acquisition

Sorry to hear about that.

I've always had VR as a bit of a gimmick myself, though at the same time, the thought of trying the likes of Resi 7 and Alien Isolation in VR would give me a minor heart attack.

Cheers. I've heard the difficulty spikes later on in the game to the point that it becomes very challenging. Only a good thing really so might try my luck on that.

Have fun. Still have the N64 cartridges of both, though I will warn you that Goldeneye has not aged well at all. For me, I've finally completed Kiryu's journey with Yakuza 6 and while I have Judgement ready and waiting, I need a chnage of pace after going through 3-6 in succession. Crash 4 is next @Mpache.

I might do at some point, though I've just been struggling for time more recently. The idea of being a Pirate King sounds appealing though.

Haven't played any of the Tropico games myself. Can't remember which version it was, but one of them was free as part of PS Plus in the past. Didn't get round to aying it though.

Not for a while methinks. Got a bit of a backlog to get through before getting anything else.

Finishing off Yakuza 6 now and then going to start Crash 4. Been playing the Yakuza series non stop for the past few months so need a chnage of pace.

Think Will of the Wisps is available on Switch (or at least confirmed for it). Might give it a shot at some point, among many other things.

Tbh, I don't really watch much of the darts so don't know what he's like. I was just on a wind up.

Only thing I could think of to post really.

In fairness, the games are a good 20 years old (Red Alert 2 at least).

Still got my copies of Red Alert 2 and Generals. Really enjoyed them but they won't run on my Mac.

Got Horizon on Black Friday as it was very cheap (about £8). Haven't started it yet mind. That lot should keep you going for a while.

Yeah, there are moments where it can get tough. Cracking remake though, even if the story was a bit messed up this time.

Ah ok, fair enough. I attended a funeral in England just over two weeks ago and there was no wake afterwards, so assumed it was a general ban as they're banned in Wales as well.

While I agree with how the media has been in general around this from all angles (left and right wing) and agree that this was nothing more than a brief blip, something like this isn't helpful when the leader of your country makes an error while telling the public they must do this or face fines. Also, @Inverted would be able to confirm this but I thought wakes were generally banned (I know it is with us now and I think it's the same in England as well).

According to Walesonline, Wales currently has the worst Covid infection rates in the world. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/politics/worst-covid-coronavirus-rates-world-19506904 Obviously with us being a far smaller country than the likes of England, America, France, Germany etc, any surge in cases will make us look worse, while any reductions would be swift and bring it down quickly. At the same time, considering how many people keep saying that Drakeford and Gething are doing a great job, it's still pretty damning. Also, nice to see the nationalists immediately blame Westminster for the Welsh Government not being able to have a longer second lockdown. One that the Welsh Government did off there own back.

For anyone interested. Alien Isolation is currently free on the Epic Game Store. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-12-21-the-wonderful-alien-isolation-is-free-on-the-epic-game-store

Don't think any government in the UK can say they've done well in all honesty.
