I have a theory that the time taken for the pedestrian lights to change is inversely proportional to the number of times the button's been pressed. i.e. the more times pressed, the longer it takes.

I should add that I've never actually stood at a crossing with a stop watch to prove my theory, but if anyone out there....

I'll get on it.

Worse still - idiots who press the button to cross but cross anyway even though it's on red for them not to cross. By the time the pedestrian crossing light turns to green, you're sat in your car, stopped, even though by now there's nobody waiting to cross the road because the imbecile who pressed the button has long gone!

As a driver that is really annoying.

As a pedestrian I try and wait for an opening to avoid holding cars up. But then there's been times when I've done that and I'm still waiting 2 minutes later. Then I get a bit autistic and refuse to press it on principle. Then I wait another minute. Then someone else comes (probably rynny), looks at me funny and presses it 

People who press the button at traffic lights during rush hour. Firstly, it's automated so it doesn't do anything. Secondly, nor should it.

And while I'm at it people who press the button when it's already been pressed.

So he is, I didn't realise he was still their player.

I wouldn't mind signing him.

Me neither he's a good player. We'd probably need to shift a couple out first though.

I see Rangers are looking at the prospect of loaning Jota from Eibar, he would be one hell of a signing and played as one of the front 3 for Brentford.

I would rather go for him than forestieri.

He's still on the books at Brentford.

The new one you get to choose your battles it's more like Kingdom Hearts battle system if you have ever played that. Your a team of 4 and allows driving of a car (Albeit not fully just along the main roads) theres loads of features well worth looking into.

I might give it a go then it looks good. Not played Kingdom Hearts though.

I quite like exploring but that was a right pain in the arse in FF7 and 8. I'd just be doing a bit of sight seeing and then the screen would go all swirly and I'd have to fight a dandelion monster or something.

Completed Final Fantasy 15. Had to borrow a XBox one and rush it. Was brilliant shame I couldn't do side quests etc it fits people like me who have completed them all since Final Fantasy 5 and new comers to the series. Thank god they've brought back open world...!

 

One of the best games I've played since FF7.

I haven't played one since 8. I used to like them but don't know if I can bear slogging my way through those random battles. Do they still do that?

Im a little dubious about it. They are using Frostbite but it doesnt look all that amazing graphically, usually FB engine is proper wow. Also, not convinced they will fix the awful lip sync. ME 1, 2 and 3 had terrible sync with the voices and the mouth animations and the ME:A trailer has still got it. People have questioned the devs on Twitter and the devs have said the faces are placeholders and they will be working on it right up until it goes gold but I just dont believe it.

No need for a TLOU 2, should of left it at a one and one.

There is story DLC for Uncharted 4 coming out that expands the story away from Drake, will be available as standalone.

Who's in that the daughter?

Hope so AR. They knocked out 4 Uncharted games and TLOU was better in every way.

There you go.

Although uncharteds great too

What you mean there is a crash bandicoot for PS4?

I've played the other uncharteds which I liked (love tomb raiders as well) but what I found annoying about uncharted is when you are stuck on a puzzle it gives you hints after about 5 minutes. I'm one of these old skoolers that will happily spend hours and hours trying to figure out a solution until I eventually get it. I don't need help after 5 minutes. Other than that I loved uncharted.

No in uncharted 4 you get to play a little bit of crash bandicoot on a PlayStation erm, one. That grey one from the 90's. They're both naughty dog games.

Yeah most games these days aren't really challenging at all. I think Uncharted just wants to be a quick, breezy experience though which I can understand.

On the other hand I can remember being stuck on Broken Sword for absolutely ages because I needed to pick something barely visible up up off the floor.

Cheers for all the advice. That Outlast game looks worth playing.

I also used to like platformers like Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet & Clank and also Jak & Daxter but they don't seem to make them anymore either unless anybody has some suggestions on this genre?

Thanks all

You can play crash bandicoot in uncharted 4.

Considering asking for a PS4 from Santa but wondered what you lot think about the system and indeed the games?

I'm a pretty basic gamer and am not interested in online multiplayer things and all the extras. I just want to play the games by myself as a single player. Are most games nowadays geared towards playing online with total strangers throughout the world or can you still play them solo campaigns?

I had a PS3 a few years ago and to be honest I got fed up of games morphing into films. Shoot a few baddies - cut scene for 5 minutes, blow up some depot - cut scene for 5 minutes, find a helicopter to pilot and when you step inside - cut scene for 5 minutes.

It spoiled my enjoyment and continuity of most games if I'm honest. I spend 40 on a game to play it, not to watch it.

Has this got worse on PS4?

Love any advice and game advice too. I'm a survival horror fan, loved the old resi evils and silent hills but they don't seem to make games like this anymore where you find items, follow maps and solve puzzles. It's all about incessant blasting of zombies from what I gather.

Anyone any ideas thanks?

The latest metal gear solid is surprisingly good for letting you crack on and play the game. I say surprisingly because metal gear solid 4 has to have the longest cutscenes ever.

Have they decidided where GTA 6 will be set yet? I'm just thinking if they went back to Liberty City I'd find it quite cathartic if they had some millennials protesting in front of Cleethorpes Tower to plough through.

That happens to me all the time.

It's like a minor bereavement, probably on a par with losing a goldfish. I could go and get another one, but nothing will bring that one back.

Exactly! I feel like I'm betraying it while I'm waiting for the kettle to boil. It's time to move on. I'm sure it would have understood.

When you go to drink your tea and realise you already drank it.

It just happened 

YouTube sign offs get my goat. Most of them are cringy to begin with never mind the 100th time you hear them.

No StringerBell will party hard.

Third person speak eh?

From indirectly suggesting physical confrontation to this.

What is next?

StringerBell has been speaking in third person for a while now because Muskination thinks pronouns are rude. StringerBell merely asks Muskination not to use such vile words to StringerBell as well.

8 minutes ago, Muskination said:

Well, you let that one die down nicely without saying anything. It doesn't matter that Stringerbell is a pseudonym, but I won't bold it.

Please stop being rude to StringerBell.

Oh dear. Do you need time to think?

What does Muskination mean when Muskination says you? StringerBell has a pseudonym.

1 minute ago, Muskination said:

Sure. Why don't you run me a little English class (Note a question mark was not used as it some rhetorical cases they may be omitted. Also, 'was not' was used as opposed to 'wasn't' to move to a formal dialogue'.

Try engaging in a discourse with regard to something you don't have to look up on Google.

They may be ommited? What does Muskination mean when Muskination says they?

Just because you use upper high school words doesn't mean it's not rude, if used in a certain context. The same goes for she.

I take that stick out of my @rse and stick it up your nose.

No why doesn't Muskination take it out of Muskinations arse and stick it up StringerBells nose?

If pronouns didn't exist they would quickly get invented. StringerBell will run a little English class for Muskination and Billy Davies if Muskination would like.

It is rude.

No it isn't. Calling someone a **** is rude, not their appropriate gendered pronoun. Take the stick out your arse.

People who complain about perfectly appropriate pronouns being used for them as though it's somehow rude. 

For example, people who say with utter disgust when they're referred to as 'her'. What do you mean, her?". Yes, you are a woman. Her.
