  1. I think Hartley is a great choice to put in full time. He's been fantastic in WEC. At Petit Le Mans this year he did an amazing job. He really is a great talent in those cars. I think with the current F1 regulations, he'll have an easy time adjusting to the car. These car drive very similarly to the LMP1s and DPs. 

    Buemi I think is only a suitable option for a one off in COTA. If Toro Rossi are seriously looking to at least scare Kyvat, I think Hartley is the way to go. For Hartley it's a no brainer. With Porsche withdrawing from WEC, it leaves IMSA, IndyCar, or F1 as top level series for a top level driver. He'll do well wherever imo. 
    Not going to happen. Hartley is racing Indycar next season.

  2. Bit of randomness. Just checked my blood pressure, it’s 140 over 100, the maximum it should be is 120 over 80. Last time I went to the doctors they said it was high and I needed to come back l in a week, but I never did. After seeing that I think I need to go back.

    Yeah they definitely shouldn't have sacked him, needed another 5 games to settle the players in properly. I'm gutted it didn't work out, he had a real connection with the fans.. I do think he's a bit overrated though, and he has made a few questionable signings that we're now left with.
    That's Harry Redknapp in a nutshell, popular figure, but a lousy manager, odd tranfer dealings that can cripple a club for years to come and an overall lousy human being.
    Can’t cripple us anymore than our owners who were born in the Stone Age. Like how do you go from being in the championship with lots of great players, to now every season fighting to stay in the football league. 

    Our manager does need help though, we have players older than him. His playing career was ended early after a bad car accident, so if Harry can help st all then that’s great. I don’t think Harry is lousy though, he’s also not to blame for financial mismanagement, as that’s up to the owners not him.

    Still Stroll's fault. He lets his car drift wide to the outside of the corner while not realising Vettel is passing him on the outside, which was already evident from Grosjean's onboard shot. He turns left, but the steering motion wasn't tight enough and he has a slight change in it making his car move to the outside more, which means he was moving away from the apex, while Vettel took a much tighter approach. It can be argued that Vettel took too much risk taking such a tight approach post-race, assuming Stroll won't do something unexpected, but it's still on Stroll to pay attention to his surroundings though.
    I agree it’s still his fault, but he didn’t actually turn into Vettel like the other video showed. It was just careless and lack of  spatial awareness after a long race.

    Apparently Switch sales of Fifa 18 account for just 1% of total sales, hopefully EA stick with it unlike the Wii U 
    There’s a reason for that bud, first EA didn’t produce enough carts, it was sold out everywhere. Also PS4,Xbox and PC have a huge install base compared to it, so it’s a little unfair to compare them. The main issue was the first one though, they simply underestimated how popular it would be, so only made a limited amount of carts, so the only option is digital and its more expensive on the E store. When pre orders went live on Amazon they sold out very quickly.

    My bro played the Switch version with me, he loved it and of course beat me..... He has the PC version so was able to compare it. I still see the Switch as an awesome handheld console, which docks and becomes a good console at home. Most of the time I play in handheld mode. EA aren’t known for supporting Nintendo, but then they were also the same with PC once, now it’s the best version of the game, so there’s that...

  6. So yeah, Cuphead is effing amazing. Difficulty is up there, nice and tight gameplay, and the aesthetics are some of the best I've ever seen in gaming. A real gem.

    Up next: Star Fox 2 on the SNES Mini.
    Cuphead looks great, it’s a shame it’s a exclusive on consoles, as it’s the type of game I’d like on Switch, but I’ll probably buy the PC version soon.

    I cancelled my Snes mini pre order. I think after the  initial novelty of it I probably wouldn’t play it much. I’ll just wait for them to release some of them on Switch, I still have a working original Snes anyway :)

    I'm enjoying it so far, still seems to play a bit too fast for my liking but definitely an improvement over last years!
    Yea I didn’t like how fast it was when I played the demo on PC, seems like realism has gone out the window in favour of cricket scores. Midfielders are almost pointless in the game, thankfully the Switch version isn’t like that. EA make changes for changes sake, but not always for the better.
