  1. My 4k HDR tv is here and it looks amazing. Thought I’d watch The Grand Tour in 4k HDR for the first time, and OMG it’s stunning! HDR makes such a huge difference, but poor old Clarkson looks even older lol. I can’t really put into words what a difference it and 4k makes, If you haven’t seen a HDR screen that’s probably for the best, but since I played Horizon 3 using it at a mates house I’ve wanted a TV that supports it.

  2. I’m going to be like a kid waiting for Christmas tonight, I really hope it comes early tomorrow. I was originally going to go for the next model down in the range, but I wanted one with Android TV built in rather than just a few apps, plus it has some extra picture quality stuff. It also has Alexa support, which Amazon have on offer, but I can’t see myself buying one just yet when I’ve spent so much.



  3. Couldn’t hold out any longer, bought the TV I wanted. But was annoyed as well, it was £539, but by the time I bought it it went up to £599. I think I deserve something nice considering all the stress I’m under as I have a court case coming up from the accident I had in 2015. For once this year I won’t be spending a lot on presents for my family. It’s such a weight off my shoulders, as all day for the past week I’ve been constantly thinking about that TV.

  4. Oh I’m not saying they are too big to go down, as nobody are too big or small to go up/down, hell we (Yeovil) got to the championship. I know all about a club being mismanaged, try being relegated in successive seasons and then only just avoiding three in a row....

  5. Physical games on consoles are always cheaper bud, even on Nintendo Switch even though the carts are expensive to produce lol.

     I haven’t bought it, as you know I love the series, but there’s just too many games that I’m currently playing. I have read good things about it, but not the PC version. It has 3 different types of DRM which kills performance on some PC’s, causing all CPU cores to max out.
    It’s also lagging behind in patches compared to the console version, some things like HDR haven’t been added like was patched in those versions, that won’t affect you but I think rheee was something else added that the PC is yet to get.

  6. I’ve been ill in bed all day, but ended up playing Skyrim on Switch in portable mode a lot. I still can’t quite believe I’m playing Skyrim fully portable, whilst still looking and playing great. Even though I played the PC version a lot, I’ve still ended up doing quests that I haven’t done in the PC version, plus all the expansions are included, none of which I bought for PC.

  7. Playing LA Noire remaster on Switch, it looks and plays great. It also doesn’t look any different compared to the PS4 version, so they have done a great job with the Switch version.

    Edit: Sweet, my copy of Skyrim for Switch just turned up a day early. 

  8. So last night was fun. I went to a pub with a mate I haven’t seen for ages. Got drunk and played some pool, then we started playing Fifa on my Nintendo Switch. Anyway after a while a drunk old guy who must have been in his 70s came up to us and said, “Oh is that Fifa, can I play?” So we played FIFA with s drunk old guy, he was actually pretty good, probably the oldest gamer I have met. Good times :D

  9. So I’ve become slightly obsessed with the speed run race courses in Mario Odyssey. On one course I went from 70,000 in the world with a time of 37 seconds, to top 100 with a time of 20 seconds. The goal is simple, get to a certain place on the map in the shortest time, there’s no set route so if you can come up with cleaver routes and have very fast reflexes then you can gain a lot, it’s addictive. When you pull it off, it’s like when you pull off the perfect lap in F1. The fastest time someone has done this one is 14 seconds, now when I started I was like how can they do it so fast, there’s no way I can, but now I feel I can get very close to that time, as my last run had two mistakes which would have caused me to lose time.

    This is guy here is ranked 3rd I think. My run is similar, but my reflexes aren’t so fast at the moment.

    Coffee machine broke this morning, so had to make a trip to McDonald’s to get one, was served by a really good looking woman, every cloud and all that... 
    I hate living in a hard water area though, it ruins everything.
    I think Maccas coffee taste better than some dedicated coffee places.
    So do I, plus it’s a lot cheaper.
