I’d go for Out of Sight and Children of Men. 

 

Out of Sight is a sexy film, a heist movie, wonderfully soundtracked and has charm

running throughout. 
 

Children of Men has a strong plot, super set pieces and wonderful cinematography. Oh, and Michael Caine asking people to pull his finger when he wants to fart. What’s not to love? Apart from the unrelenting hellscape. 
 

I watched Out of Sight last night, probably one of my favourite films.

Princess Bride, Commando and Flash Gordon are up there too. 

Haven't seen Children of Men yet. Or Paddington 2.

Nice. 

Wayne on Amazon is brilliant.

I've watched the first series of this and really like it, it's great to see something set in Australia for a change. 

Well, that was entertaining. Ha. 

In other news, my Cardinals didn't suck, at all. 

Jackett is out at last. 

We've been awful recently, especially in the last three games.

I thought disc PS4 games all worked on the PS4?

I put in my Astrobot Rescue Mission disc in and out wanted me to by the game for the discounted price of £12.

TrackMania Turbo from disc was fine though. Although I maybe bought it on PSN too. 

 

I shall check more. 

Ah, I deleted Astro Bot and reinserted the disc and now it seems to be copying. 

Fingers crossed!

The disc drive seems so noisy!

£30?

I'll leave it for a bit, thanks anyway. 

I've got Spider-Man on the PS4 that I haven't really played loads, although... Shinier!

How much?

Astro's is lovely and a very fine demo of the controller's potential.

 

Have fun!

Yeah, played a little and it's joyous.

Don't download Maneater!

 

It is terrible.

 

Just play Astro's until you sort out some proper games.

I tried a bit of Maneater and I agree, it's terrible. Astros it is for now. And Bugsnax...

I used the ConsoleAlert channel on Telegram. 

Ah, ok.

Thinking about it, I didn't look at the Game Library page. I shall check when I next turn it on. Cheers. 

I've got my PS5 now, nice. 

I've got no games though.

I can download Maneater, which is free on PS+, why can't I do the same with Bugsnax?

I 'got' it via the website when it came out, but it says £17.99 now. 

Was it a timed thing?

Enjoy man!

 

I’m happy to wait tbh. Hopefully stock will improve next month.

Yeah, it'll be fine. 

Right place right time for me. 

Poor Dave. 

Mine will be here tomorrow. 

I got one too!

I enjoyed those two episodes, definitely interested to see where it goes from here.

Err, I got some free Apple TV action with my new iPhone.  So I tried this, as it's the only series I've actually heard of.* Does it pick up after the first two episodes? It didn't engage me at all, despite the subject matter/concept being something I'd like, on paper anyway.

 

(No, I didn't look at the second season trailer to avoid spoilers in case I stick with the series.)

 

* Series or original film. Had no idea what any of them were that weren't For All Mankind. In fact, I'd probably have forgotten about the existence of Apple TV had my phone not started to pester me the minute I registered it.

Watch Ted Lasso as well, it's brilliant. 

Mystic Quest seems good also, from what I've seen so far (3 episodes).

And A Long Way Up. 

I enjoyed this series greatly.
