I see the Nintendo and Microsoft partnership is coming along well. Cuphead has been announced for Switch and can be linked to Xbox Live achievements.

Tbh, I've tried to get rid of a lot of it because I either have other methods of playing them or I simply don't play them anymore (the N64 being my only exception).

I know you're kinda taking the piss but I do still have mine.

I don't have an Xbox but thanks for the thought. Haven't played a Formula 1 games since the PS1, trying to win with Damon Hill.

Except that this would fall under sheer hypocrisy and pretty much set the tone for future votes (ie. If you don't like the original vote, just keep protesting and giving the middle finger to everyone that doesn't agree with you until you get the result you want).

You say that but as @RandoEFC and a couple of others have mentioned before, you start to tread a very fine line for not just that vote but any other votes in the future. Imagine that the people's vote did happen and the same majority (52/48) occurred in favour of remain or whatever the question is that time around. What then? As you may be aware back in 1997, Wales voted for devolution. Though this is from Wikipedia (the majority is correct though), note the majority and the turnout. This was much closer than the EU referendum, yet devolution went through, no one complained and Labour have fucked things ever since. If we tried another vote, it'd get shot down immediately. I dread the time a Welsh independence vote is made. I'm not saying that Welsh devolution is as important as the EU referendum, but hopefully you get where I'm going in regards to votes etc.

I know nobody cares, but England were 31-0 against Scotland and after 76 minutes, England have fucked it. 31-38.

While I agree that she could have done this better (in general, being more open to the other parties (where possible) in terms of a better deal for the UK), I think the part in bold is a tad harsh. What is she supposed to do when the likes of the SNP (who admittedly have their duty to the Scottish who overwhelmingly voted to remain), Plaid Cymru (who pretty much gave the middle finger to the majority of the voters in Wales) and Lib Dem basically fight against Brexit at all costs and barely (if at all) provide anything in terms of negotiations to try and get the best deal? What is she supposed to do when Labour, the main opposition, has been indecisive for the two years as well and have done very little in terms of negotiations, followed by Corbyn's temper tantrum after losing a no confidence vote against May and instructed Labour not to discuss anything with her? What is she supposed to do when the Tories effectively started back stabbing each other and imploding because any deals made wasn't 'there ideal Brexit' (I admit that this is something May could have possibly sorted out, but even then you can't predict when something like this could happen)? What is she supposed to do when many MP's from most parties simply didn't want anything to do with Brexit whatsoever and even attempting to lie about it (such as Owen Smith persistently lying that his constituency voted to remain in the EU)? This is just internal to the UK. Put all these together and you get the main question. How was May going to negotiate any form of deal that could possibly benefit the UK when she is sent to negotiate with the EU with her hands, feet, fingers, toes and wrinkled pussy tied by all parties (including her own)? You also have to question whether those who rejected the deals actually had it 'in the best interests of the UK' or whether it was purely politically motivated ('I won't vote for this because it's the Tories etc). Don't get me wrong. This is not intended to be a full defence of May and when she took over from Cameron, she knew what she was walking into, but for some to say that she's one of the worst PM's simply because of this (especially as we had a PM who went to war on the basis of 'a belief' and innocent people are now paying the price for it) is ridiculous.

Yeah, I didn't help myself by saving with no health items and being one hit or grab away from death.

Well @Mel81x, after numerous deaths of trying to get everything in one go, I finally managed to pull it off. Got my key item, got my grenade launcher and managed to get the three main items required to progress in the game. I did have a moment of madness as I searched around for the best part of an hour wondering what the hell I do next.......... before realising that due to utter panic of the amount of zombies coming through windows, trying to eat me and legging it asap, I missed one door that held the item required to get one of the three key items. The same room however gave me a much needed green herb as well, meaning that I could finally get my health back up to full after mixing with a red herb. Now I have a fair bit of pistol ammo, a grenade launcher with both flame and acid rounds, a first aid spray and five ink ribbons (as I'm on Hardcore mode). Getting there now.

I don't know the full list but I have three of the five mentioned.

Tried that and they ripped my face off.

I haven't played it but had heard a lot of good things about it, particularly about the game having some humour as well as attempting to be realistic. While I don't mind games attempting to be realistic, some go too far to the point that it sucks the fun out of it.

What about when your health is on danger, you have no health items other than red herbs (which are useless alone), you need a crucial item but it's surrounded by zombies, you need a grenade launcher that is guarded by two zombies and there's a licker up ahead?

I decided that because I'm an idiot, I'll do it straight away on Hardcore mode. I think I may have just severely fucked myself to the point that I may need to start again.

Completed Red Dead 2 (story at least) on Friday and got RE2 (as well as Spiderman) for my birthday, so RE2 is up next.

Ironically, I've just watched that (all 50 minutes of it). Praises the graphics, flight moments and general gameplay but rips into everything else. I wasn't really that interested in Anthem anyway, but after apparently being in development for six years, that's bad.

Well, looks like Anthem is getting a tad bit of a kicking. Even IGN give it a 6.5 and they usually wank over many of EA's games.

Was thinking the same thing. I basically read no cameras or you're going to get fucked (and not in the good way).

Yeah, my reply (regarding staffing) was me waking up, looking at the post and not thinking 100%.

Not to sound like a dick but that looks like a contradiction there. If there is a chance that they could go bankrupt when we leave, why are they hiring new staff (ie. adding to costs)? As for the small businesses (and in general for that matter), it will depend on how they adapt to market changes. If you don't adapt, you get left behind and struggle (you only need to look at the recent bigger retail stores to see that).

Black Mamba for me.

I might start a flame war here but is the 'developers don't get paid well and work crazy hours' more of an American thing (ie. pure capitalistic greed and everyone else gets fucked) or in general? I only ask as the vast majority of the time this issue comes up, it tends to be EA or Activision in the headlines more often than anyone else (I know about Red Dead 2 in case anyone mentions it).

What an utter mess this has become. Just over a month and a half before the leave date and the two biggest parties are in complete turmoil, knifing and shitting on each other at any given chance. I bet Owen 'The Opportunist' Smith will try his luck again at some point, especially after mentioning about people leaving Labour last week.
