I got this one and Main Squeeze for about £8 each. The copy of Feels So Good is a Demonstration Copy so from what I've heard it seems like the full retail album but the vinyl isn't labelled at all, just two blank white sides so you have to guess which side is which. Pretty interesting. Not into UK Garage or House unfortunately! Over the last couple of weeks I've been taking punts on random jazz albums, with only minor "is it good or bad" Googling beforehand. If the price is cheap enough I'll settle on average ones. Some pickups include Ella Fitzgerald Live in Berlin: Mack The Knife, those two Mangione albums, a couple of Weather Report albums, a George Benson collection, a few from Al Jarreau, Amandla by Miles Davis, and Leprechaun by Chick Correa.

Been picking up more vinyls from my local record shop, I won’t bore you with the full list, but it’s mostly jazz. I imagine this one will get a pop from a few of you though.

I played Cyberpunk a couple of years ago much after launch (I worked at GAME during the launch and let me tell you that was a nightmare) and it was really good. My only main gripe is that they did a huge game-mechanic changing patch while I was in the middle of playing it so all the skill trees and combat changed so it was like I played two halves of different games.

Ask him about Triple H and nazi symbology.

I’ve tried multiple times to watch Ghostbusters II and I never finish it. Incredibly boring film, to the point it has me second guessing if the first was even good (it is).

He lost the plot and got banned.

Apologies, edited my post.

It did however make me go back and start to re-watch The League of Gentlemen, which is still just as grotesque and weird and funny as I remember it.

Well done Bacon, chuffed for ya! I’m off work now for 2 weeks, my first break since May. I’m burnt out so thankfully today my day was full of meetings that allowed me to rant at my boss about it and now I’m sat with my feet up, a few glasses of wine deep and The Best of Matt Monro on the record player. Cowa fuckin’ bunga.

I sank the maximum hours into the demo and loved it. I’m a big detractor of the HD2D style, I personally think it’s devoid of any uniqueness and if you’ve seen one game like that you’ve seen them all. The gameplay is tremendous though, a very welcome return to turn based Final Fantasy. If Ocarina of Time wasn’t out in a couple weeks I’d have got it on launch.

I loved the original Neverwinter Nights, it was one of the very first PC games I played. Mass Effect 1-3 and the original Baldurs Gates are fun too. Sad fact is they arguably haven’t made a great game since Mass Effect 3 thirteen years ago. Any company not wanting to burn money would have closed them down ages ago, as easy as it is to point fingers at big nasty EA.

It’s the exact reason I couldn’t click with Metroid Dread. Gone were the massively varied environments and focus on exploration and instead it was all grey spacestation and parrying and I just could not be arsed at all.

I downloaded the demo on Switch and was getting disappointed by the Souls-like features as I was playing. When the enemies respawned and my potions refilled at the checkpoint I was one foot out the door, and then when I got to the boss and they killed me in about 3 shots I was fully out. I wanted Castlevania, not another Souls game.

I had one of their books when I was a kid, the one with the spooky trees I think. Quite honestly could not give a single shit what they were called though.

Had optional dental cover at work for 2 years but never used it. Got rid of it and one of my fillings has came completely out. “Filling” is probably generous as it makes up about half of my tooth and so I’m having to temporarily fill it for the next week or so until payday, at which point I have to go see the dentist which a couple of years ago changed from NHS to private so it’s going to be a dear fucking do.
