Yeah, it’s fascinating to me that Europeans and British don’t drive much. Due to a relative lack of public transportation available if you’re not in one of the few major metropolitan areas in the U.S. most people are driving with regularity at age 16. I’m not sure how I passed the driving test on my first go, but I don’t remember it being a problem. I think it has to do with us driving on the correct side of the road and having our steering wheels in the proper side. I’d struggle too if I had to drive from the passenger seat! 😉 Either that or all that Gran Turismo time paid off.
I've noticed an increased number of bird poo incidents on my car this last couple of weeks. Five in the last three days, in fact, with one a direct hit on the door handle. I'm starting to think it's some sort of targeted campaign against me. I told my wife but she just laughed. I now believe she is somehow in on it.
I'm aware this isn't a particularly insightful contribution to the car conversation.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
I don’t enjoy driving in town and cities that much on account of all the traffic, but get out into the countryside and it’s great. Great way to explore and see what’s going on around you.
@kyleforrester I could have done with TLOU2 coming out before Xmas, but oh well, need to put it to the back of my mind again.
@Wesker There is almost no chance of it coming out this year, the closest we have got is one of the actors almost saying February. Of course Push Square managed to write up 5 articles from that! 😂
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder i’ve been thinking a lot about that ending. The Last of Us is probably the best story driven game i’ve played. Maybe i’ll pick up the PS4 remaster to tied me over, and I still need to play the dlc.
@Wesker Left Behind is quality, well worth it if you enjoyed the main game. I was only so so on the ending, I'm not the greatest fan of ambiguous or sudden endings and the build up to it was probably my least favourite part of the game. Still, one my games of all time and is deserving of going in my top 25 list.

@Wesker@JohnnyShoulder I really didn’t get much out of Left Behind, but I’m not big on DLC story content to be honest, I always struggle to get in to it like I do the main game.
As for TLOU itself, I don’t love it but it’s better than Uncharted. Everything’s a bit too miserable for me, which is the point I guess, and it all certainly leaves an impact but I just can’t say I really enjoyed playing through it (twice). I do enjoy how kinetic the combat was at times though, when you got crafting down on the fly it resulted in some pretty awesome encounters.
@kyleforrester87 I think with Uncharted and TLOU, a lot of the time it’s about pushing the story forward, not so much the gameplay. I found the puzzles boring in TLOU, and I hardly did any stealth, but I do enjoy the 3rd person shooting, likewise in Uncharted. The main thing for me though is moving from one cutscene to another. I saw one NLifer call Sony games ‘Hollywood-wannabe gloomy interactive films with varied but rough gameplay’, which I found quite funny.
@Wesker yeah, for me I had the most fun when I was stealthing around, making explosives on the fly and shotgunning clickers at point blank range. I just found the story to be all a bit of a morbid drag!
It was good at what it did though, the intro in particular was very engaging and I liked the Half Life 2 vibes in the quarantine zone at the start.
@Octane It’s definitely enjoyable, and the multiplayer as well. Inventory management and stealth are not high on my list of fun gameplay though. That’s fine, I was playing on normal, and you could get away with action fighting your way through a lot of it. I noticed you didn’t defend the puzzles though
@RogerRoger Yeah I don't get too bent out of shape with most things but a missing kitty freaks me out. I need to keep a lid on it though since my girlfriend is worried enough. So I'm just like yeeahh he'll be back heh .
@Ralizah He went out at 7am on Sunday, so he's not been gone 2 days but it's odd for him as he's never gone for more than a couple of hours at a time and stays in over night (we lock the cat flap at night). Can't find him locally. He did this once before last year, and was found in the neighbours house under the bed so I dunno. I'm really hoping he's just at home when I get in tonight!!
@kyleforrester87 I assume you've talked to your neighbors? I've had at least one cat somehow get caught underneath our house, so, if that's even remotely possible, I'd suggest grabbing a flash light and taking a peek down there (disregard if you live in an apartment or something, obvs).
It's a lot more likely to be safe than a dog would be, though. Cats aren't generally known to wander out into the road and, being fairly athletic animals, they can climb stuff to avoid dangers in their environments.
Have you tried putting a bowl of cat food outside somewhere?
