Haha! He’s a proper bellend and no mistake. Keep (on keeping on) at it.

It’s a proper pant shitter. It reminds me of games like Condemned, Silent Hill etc. In so far as while you want to play it, you also want to get through each room without meeting a single thing. It’s brilliant. Intense is probably the best way to describe it as @Jamie John said.

I'm absolutely loving this. I think it’s marvellous that it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and I like the generally snappy pace. To draw a comparison, I like that it’s different to Game Of Thrones in so far as, well it’s not totally grim dark all the time, and it’s refreshing to watch a show about a guy who kills monsters, ghouls, orcs, dragons and goblins etc, and actually have it happen, instead of episode after episode of people standing around fancy maps, drinking wine and bonking their sisters. There’s a place for that of course (Shropshire) but I like this because it’s just FUN. Something that with the resurgence of big budget TV shows/Comic book movies etc has been missing a little, perhaps.

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing, heating to dry, light rub with oil, heat until it just starts to smoke, forget it’s hot, burn hand, leave to cool.

Yeah I’ve used the same method, a quick wash, dry, heat on hob for max dryness! Then a light rub with oil.

Yeah when tied up there’s an icon above their head. If it’s “Zzz” (I think!) then they’re out. If it’s “Ooo”, (or something like that) they’re still awake.

The wife got me a Lodge cast iron pan for Christmas. I’ve been pining after one for ages. They take a little looking after (seasoning etc) but I like all that sort of stuff. Highly recommended. So far it’s behaved admirably especially as the seasoning hasn’t really fully developed yet. Sausage. Potatoes. Steak. And today’s lunch, Mexican Corned Beef Hash.

I don't know much about chips, CPU's, frame rates and RAMs and all that, but I do know that a huge portion of us (Myself included) will buy one or both of these machines, and then promptly download a game where you play as a cartoon goose.

The PSN Store is terrible in pretty much all aspects. Unless of course you want your card details stealing or whatever.

Yep.

I'd be interested to read the DS review. It's scored very well in most places. IMO on production value and scope alone it's higher than a 6. But it'll be interesting to read. Am I misremembering, or did they get a little salty because they were asked to finish the game before reviewing?

You essentially parry them when they attack and it’s a very large window, nothing like Dark Souls for instance. I’ve had many Benny Hill moments when they’ve ganged up on me, only to leave the entire outpost looking like a BDSM enthusiasts meet. It’s not as elegant as Solid Snaking the entire thing, but it’s very effective until you get better weapons.

@Jamie John if you’re yet to get the bola, you can equip your strand (select with L on the d-pad). With that you can counter and tie them all up! There’s a massive window so it’s pretty simple.

It all make sense in the game. Chapter 3 is where it starts to open up, the first couple of chapters you need to put a bit of work in I suppose. You can just race through them of course. I’d certainly recommend sticking solely to the main missions in chapter 1 and 2.
