Wouldn't cry at all if EA went under. Unfortunately I've got more chance with @Cannabis missus than that happening.

Wasn't it that one where you could run away from the ref to stop him showing a yellow card? 96 on the Mega Drive wad my first one. Had a bug where a season finished after one game.

Was in Tesco's last Saturday and nabbed a drink in the cafè. As I was waiting at the till, this made me chuckle a little. I have simple needs. EDIT: Don't know why it appears sideways.

After finishing Stick of Truth, I've gone back to finish the Crash N Sane trilogy with Warped, then hoping to start either Sonic Mania or Fractured But Whole.

Happy birthday @ASF. On a different note, who wants one of these? https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-10-25-new-amazon-service-lets-delivery-people-into-your-home No one? Ok.

Microsoft have officially ceased manufacturing the Kinect. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-10-25-kinect-officially-dead Not really surprised by this. A nice idea but the cost of it on its own mixed with how poor it actually was (is there a single game that actually managed to use this even remotely well?) and lumping it with every Xbox One at launch (thus bumping the price up) for no reason meant it was going to be a tough sell.

I would if I had a Switch. I have been thinking of getting it depending on any deals that may crop up as the new Mario was the one that might push me into getting one. That or I will wait until the new year.

Other than a couple of graphical changes (ie. a bus instead of a plane and using an umbrella instead of a parachute when jumping out), it's practically the same. The only difference I saw was that as Fortnite has a building mechanic, that has become part of Battle Royale as well. As for Battlegrounds, it looks good and am hoping that it comes to PS4 one day (Microsoft bought the exclusive rights to it, though unsure for how long).

Isn't that pretty much all PC communities? As for me, I got South Park Fractured But Whole in the post but as Stick of Truth was a free download, I've decided to give that another run out. Here's something I found strange. I have the PS3 copy as well and have got trophies for playing and completing the game, yet instead of logically combining the PS3 and PS4 versions together, the trophies are separate from each other (despite the achievements being the exact same).

Criminally, I've only played a couple of local games with mates. Nothing more.

Think my EA games were FIFA 14, Battlefield 4 (which I really should have played more online), Star Wars Battlefront (which I got for £15) and FIFA 17 (on offer shortly after release). Pretty much one game per year on average since the PS4 were released, with Battlefield 4 and FIFA 14 being launch titles.

Buy Football Manager.

Remembering seeing that before, ironically after the last one they closed down (can't remember who that was, Criterion spring to mind if they aren't still going). It's a meme that will always remain relevant.

I see EA are being EA and have closed down yet another studio, this one being Visceral Games, the studio behind the Dead Space duo (and the EA'd third one). https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-10-17-ea-has-shut-down-visceral-games They'll also 'pivot' the Star Wars game that was being developed as well. So that's shoe horned multiplayer, microtransactions, season passes and loot boxes. Fuck off EA.

Finished Crash 2 in its entirety, leaving Crash 3 as the only remaining one of the trilogy to complete. However, I'm going to leave it for the time being as I've just got South Park: The Fractured But Whole so will be playing that instead.

Nah. The sky's cleared and it's just windy now. Nothing major. Fair enough on Snowdonia. Only been there once or twice when I was a kid and was very nice. This was about 20 years ago mind.

Same here. Looked weird as fuck but is sunny here now. Forgot to ask earlier, any particular reason for visiting Snowdonia or was it just sightseeing?

@Dr. Gonzo mentioned it briefly above and I think @Cannabis has mentioned it as well. I've seen the odd YouTube clip and it does look pretty good overall. The presentation on the game looks superb.

Just as well you aren't playing Ultimate Soccer Manager.

Tried it myself for a few games and struggled to find the appeal really.

My mate got this with his PS4 and has already been laughing about how bad Ultimate Team is.

I may still go back to it at some point to finish off the smaller things.

Doing mix of trying to get the last relic on Crash 1's DLC while playing through Crash 2. Hoping to finish both by mid October as South Park: Fractured But Hole is out then.

I'm sure you are.

Just as well as your ultra defensive tactics were annoying as shit.
