@hypnotoad It’s when you try to explain it to foreign students that you realise just how absolutely bat-sh*t insane the entire situation is. When you grow up with such an institution and days of the year when you physically cannot go into the city centre for fear of a kicking, you just accept it. It would be like Morris dancers going on a pure rampage and chanting racist stuff.
Actually, those sticks they use in Morris dancing could probably brain you. That’s a scary prospect.
@jdv95 pre-ordered and downloaded the digital deluxe. Looks brill can't wait to play it on Tuesday night, hoping to at least have rolled the credits on Jedi Fallen Order before then and I can go back for the platinum another time.
@colonelkilgore How's it going bud? Long time no chat, I've fallen off RDR2 and will be playing KoA: Re-Reckoning once it arrives in the post instead, RDR2 just didn't gel with me due to the bounty mechanic in the end, but really looking forward to KoA, what are you playing atm? How's work and the missus?

@Jimmer-jammer Fell off RDR2 due to the bounty mechanic being a bit too much for me, I'll be playing KoA: Re-Reckoning once it arrives in the next few days, though, so I'll let you know how that goes as you expressed an interest in hearing about my experience with it, how are you? how's work? (remind me what you do again?) playing music and family life going?

@TheBrandedSwordsman yeah good thanks dude, get the keys to the new house on Friday (but won't be able to move in until 8th Oct as we're gonna wait until our flooring guys get in there and do their thing). So we're stressed... but super excited right now, can't wait to finally get in there.
I fell off RDR2 myself... I do intend to go back to it one day but it was just a bit slow and too chill for me. Can't help but feel I've missed out on a masterpiece though. I've been playing (& am pretty blown away by) Metal Gear Solid 2... considering its a PS2 game from 2001... it is unreal. Kojima is a god damn psychic (or probably just a genius... but still)... so good.
I have KoA: ReReckoning in my backlog actually, let me know how you get on with it.
@colonelkilgore Great to hear about the new place, I hope you and the missus are really happy there and everything goes smoothly with the move. @Jimmer-jammer Best of luck with the demoing, what recording equipment do you use? I'll keep you both posted about KoA, over here I've been focusing on jazz guitar, went to an art exhibition the other day and mingled with the arty types, and I'll be watching the cricket later today as well. I've been doing a bit of socializing within my local area too, so that's been nice, oh and reading some Thomas Hardy.
My mum saw Drew McIntyre the wrestler right outside her work today. He was draped in a saltire on top of a bus. Kinda wish I’d gotten tickets to the wrestling tonight but they were like gold dust unfortunately. Mostly for the spectacle rather than the actual event.
I once went to a wrestling event when I was a kid. Well, I was a teen I think. I remember basically nothing about it. Actually, I went to a few, thinking about it, because I'm remember sitting in distinctly different bits of the arena. I think they were both at Newcastle Metro... how do I not remember any of this more clearly.
@nessisonett@johncalmc I have loads of friends who were big on wrestling and went with them to a few events here in Aberdeen. Stone cold was a guest referee at one and Shaun Michaels and Bautista at another and I got a high five from both (I was in my mid/late 20's)haha.
I also remember Chyna doing a signing at our Forbidden Planet sadly she has gone now as well as our Forbidden Planet!
Solus Project was one of the titles I put in my buy-this-once-on-sale list but now it's gone forever... Any idea why?
(It's still available on Steam, but not on consoles)
So I just had a blast from the past while I was digging through my storage boxes of video games. After having gotten into Wii gaming again, I remembered that I still had PlayStation Move games on PS3 that I haven't finished yet. So I dug out my PS Move controller, the PS navigation controller and the PlayStation Eye. Then I found some PS Move exclusives: Sorcery, Medieval Moves, PlayStation Move Heroes and one game I've completely forgotten about, Diggs Nightcrawler. And after finding that game, I remembered that it required a certain "peripheral" that Sony released for the PS3 that most people have probably forgotten about:
The bloody Wonderbook, I completely forgot about this thing! I remember that four games came out for it, I played the first one which came with the accessory and the second one was Diggs. The other two I never got. But anyway, I'm actually quite excited to try out these games now. I don't think PlayStation Move Heroes was that good, but Medieval Moves and Sorcery were apparently quite good PS Move titles. And I'm just generally excited to play a Wonderbook game.
Like imagine trying to play a Wonderbook game today. You would need a PS3, a PS Move controller, the PlayStation Eye camera, the Wonderbook itself and a compatible game. I'm really glad that I kept all these things.
@Thrillho So the book basically utilises AR technology which is displayed on the TV screen through the PlayStation Eye camera. So while playing a Wonderbook game, the PS Eye will show a live feed of you on the TV screen and when you put the book in front of you, different scenes will show up in the game. As you turn to the next page, a different scene will emerge and so on. Then you use the PS Move controller to perform different actions in the game. For example, the game that comes with the Wonderbook is called Book of Spells (fun fact, it was actually made in conjunction with J.K. Rowling and was based on the Harry Potter series) and in that game you use the PS Move controller as a wand to cast different spells like Wingardium Leviosa and so on. It was a fairly straight-forward game and it was meant to be an introductory title for the peripheral, kinda how like Wii Sports was for the Wii. The game I have now is called Diggs Nightcrawler and it's a detective game. I believe you investigate different places every time you turn to a new page.
It was definitely one of Sony's most unique and creative projects but just like with most PlayStation-related things Sony produced back then, it was quickly abandoned after only four games.
@LtSarge Sounds clever but I can kind of see why it didn’t catch on! I think the only main peripherals I ever had were the mouse on PS1 (for Command and Conquer, and a football management game) and then the good old Eye Toy for the PS2.
