Mr. P

Turned the garage from a dumping ground into a more inviting space. 

Currently watching The Great on Prime. Comedy drama set in the time of a young Catherine The Great. Wasn't that sure at first thinking it was just another period drama but it's actually pretty funny. Nicholas Hoult plays Emperor Peter and reminds me of a character that should be in Blackadder.

Forest setting themselves up for some last day squeaky bum time, thanks to resting half their team when needing a point to guarantee play offs

We are all Stoke, Swansea and Cardiff 

Not really. Their goal difference will see them safely in the playoffs. Cardiff & Swansea games are the ones to watch.

Moretti out of the blade. 

Classic forest this season. Let the opposition have the ball, bore them to death, fluke a goal, shut up shop, win 1-0. Easy.

So, The Last Of Us II. 

I've bumped into a major spoiler before getting the game. 

Reviews are 10/10 pretty much but they say it's even more miserable than part I. 

I've combined the two and I'm not as excited to get my hands on it as I was but Naughty Dog haven't put a foot wrong in years and years imo. 

Anyone on board? 

Yes I also stumble across that major spoiler. I’m surprised but not crying about it like some. Think I’ll wait for the dust to settle & get it cheap in a few months. Loved the first one.

I'm sorry, but that pun is terrible. No need for the Inn.

You don't need to tell me that. I wanted 'The Finger Inn' but wasn't appropriate apparently. Something to do with the kids asking the question.

We're in the process of turning the garage into a bar & ordered a bar before anything else was ready!

My major gripe with Kingdom Come is the lock picking. Worst attempt at lock picking in a game. I reckon I could learn to lock pick for real quicker. 

I can't remember how I approached side quests. I'm not much one for side questing. I always think people should fetch it themselves. I don't know why RPG games thought there's a secret courier in all of us. At least Death Stranding didn't try to disguise it! 

I do love the combat though. You certainly don't feel overpowered, do you!?

I must admit I do enjoy side quests. The combat & lock picking were so useless & annoying at first in KC. But once I got more experience & different perks things got easier which is what would happen in real life I suppose. I was still useless with the bow unless it was point blank!

I'm not keen on the whole magic thing either. What about Kingdom Come Deliverance? At first it was a buggy mess, but I bought the royal edition which solved most of it. For such a small unknown development team I think they made a great game. If you like the medieval era.

Why did King Arthur sign up for so many zoom meetings?

Because he likes to be on cam a lot.

Anyone's gaming increased lately? 

I've been on the PS4 everyday which is unusual for me. 

Picked up The Witcher 3 cheap. Was a fan of the franchise but never had the time to sink into it. A couple of hours in and it's good but I'm yet to get the hype. 

Red Dead Redemption 2. Come to the conclusion it's not that good. I thought it was great when I played it on release but after sinking some hours in I've fell out with it a bit. It's beautiful but it's a horse riding simulator with pretty ordinary shooting. Everything Days Gone got criticised for is present in RDRII. Yet RDRII got critical acclaim. I don't even think the story is really engaging. Good game but it's not as iconic as I thought after getting stuck into it at last. 

Tempted to go nostalgic with Final Fantasy VII Remake. Not played those games since FFX

Not long til The Last Of Us 2, Cyberpunk and a Mafia 1 remake. 

 

Yep. After watching assassins creed valhalla trailer I decided to catch up on the series and brought Unity, Syndicate, Origins & Odyssey off eBay. Haven't played them since Rouge in 2014. And despite Unity being considered the worse in the series I'm enjoying it & wondering why it's took me so long to play them! Without a doubt it's my favourite gaming series. Great history lesson too!

currently watching 'The Last Kingdom' on Netflix.

A bit naff - a bit like Vikings but nowhere near as good.

Interesting you say that. I've read the last kingdom books & enjoyed the show. But I lost heart in watching Vikings after the end of season 4 mainly because of Ragnar. I think Vikings looks like it has a bigger budget than the last kingdom though which does look a bit naff. 

I hired a skip, borrowed a branch shredder & went crazy in the garden. Rock ‘n roll. 

53 year old Mike Tyson still got it! 

Not exactly watchable telly but watching WWERAW on channel 5 atm without the crowd is pretty horrendous. 

Are all Americans like that? Tiger King is nuts. Give them a few tigers, an elephant, 3 wives & some guns and it sends them crazy. There's more tigers in captivity in America than  in the wild. duck. A bit rich what OJ Simpson said about Carole Baskin. 

Knives Out - 8/10. Really good who-did-it type film. Loses a point due to Daniel Craig sounding like Frank Underwood! 

*SOME NAUGHTY WORDS IN THIS SO LISTEN ON LOW OR WITH HEADPHONES  ON*

Clever Isn’t it? Basically trying to burn the national flag. Rumour has it, they’re still there now trying to set fire to it! 

Stressful just watching that.

This. It’s been going around my head since Wednesday!
