@SteveButler2210: That sounds amazing :0 sounds like the best way to play games
As for purchases I picked up the Metro Redux collection for €12 in the latest sale, pretty happy with that getting two decent games for €6 each

@RR529: I love Zen Pinball. I suggest if you enjoy that game or pinball games in general check out Pinball Arcade. I like that one a bit more but that's due to the nostalgia factor due to them being real tables.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to get Pinball Arcade in the future. I've played a few real tables in real life, but other than an NBA table I played at the local laundromat, I can't remember what the others were.

Back to Zen Pinball. I was a tad disappointed that the Android version doesn't have the Earth Defense table. It's by far my favorite table in the 3DS version, & I would have gladly bought it again.

Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)

@Quintumply: @Hego: Good god. It is genuinely MIND-BLOWING. I always figured projectors weren't going to be great quality, but I have been well and truly proven wrong! The one I've picked up is 1080p, 3D ready, and the color on it is spot on (except for the blacks which could be better, but still aren't bad by any means). No noticeable input lag when gaming either, which is perfect!

I've uploaded some pictures here. The camera on my phone is pretty rubbish, so it really doesn't do it justice, but gives a good idea. The image size ended up around 80" as expected, and in person it's as crisp and clean as the picture on my 42" Bravia. In fact, my girlfriend and I both agreed that surprisingly we think it actually looks as good as, if not better than the pictures in the cinema (probably because it's that bit smaller and we're at the perfect viewing distance)!

So happy with it, best birthday present ever

EDIT: should mention the projector only cost £489 as well (plus £49 for 6 year guarantee), which is insane for the quality!

@SteveButler2210: Wow that's actually a bargain! I think my 32" HDTV I got a few years back was about that much! It does the job, but it certainly wouldn't hold a candle to a projector turning a wall into a cinema screen

@Quintumply: Yeah, the 42" I picked up last year wasn't a whole lot less! But I can safely say this is one of the best purchases I've ever made didn't game for long last night, as we spent most of the evening watching Avengers: Age of Ultron (which I'm going to need to re-watch, as I spent most of the movie gawping at how good it looked without really taking it in!), so I can't wait to get properly stuck back in to Tales from the Borderlands & The Witcher 3 tomorrow!!

@SteveButler2210: Just checked out those photos in the link you sent, looks awesome, I've instantly decided when my girlfriend and I eventually move in together I'm getting me one of those rather than a tv looks just simply perfect for watching movies or playing games great move my friend!

@Quintumply: @Hego: just bust out the measuring tape and it turns out my initial calculations were way off... Instead of 80", I'm actually getting a 98" screen out of it! Definitely the way forward

Picked up Castlevania: Rondo of Blood on the Wii VC last night. I have been in a Castlevania mood lately but wanted something new and this was the only one I never played which is odd cause its sequel Symphony of the Night is my favorite Castlevania.

@Hego: Nice one Hego, I love d5 if you haven't noticed already.

Just bought Transformers devastation for £19.99 brand new from Game!!! I literally squeeled like a toddler looking at a Frozen Christmas calender. I turned to my wife and the game ban was lifted (mustn't of made it clear I wanted this game) what a result.
