Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

So after the most hectic, chaotic and stress-inducing week of all-time, I'm finally gonna get around to hooking up the PS3, PS4 & PS5 and unboxing the new TV's.

I havent 'gamed' since a week last Thursday... why do I have Madonna's Like a Virgin playing on loop in my head 😅!?!?

@colonelkilgore Well done for actually touching your PS5! 🤣

@JohnnyShoulder 🎼'touched for the very first time'🎶

@RogerRoger 👍

@colonelkilgore She defo doesn't look like she has been touched for the very first time.

@colonelkilgore Glad you’re set back up in your new place.
1 week without gaming ….

@Th3solution pretty much mate 😵‍💫

@Keith_Zissou indeed… and it’s been horrendous!

@Thrillho Recently purchased a slightly duff Cricket Bat Guitar for £100 on ebay, spent £125 doing it up, now it plays perfectly. The second cheapest (official) Cricket Bat Guitar on ebay was £600 so I'm chuffed with my decision, especially as that one is no longer available and now the cheapest on there is £700! It has a different sound to most electric guitars I've played previously, due to the fact that the body of the guitar is made from a cricket bat, and it basically sounds like you're playing a cricket bat (in a really good way) if you can imagine that.

@colonelkilgore I take it from the discussion on here that you've moved into your new place now, what's it like? enjoying it?

@TheBrandedSwordsman yeah all moved in thanks buddy 👍.

I'm loving the house.... and we're getting there slowly. Still, we've had a few issues with furniture orders etc, the King size bed we ordered had tears in the fabric, our TV unit should've turned up on Friday but still no news and a company has taken our money for a sideboard and then immediately cancelled our order. We're on top of all 3 though, so hopefully we'll get them all resolved sometime this week.

As for the house itself, it's perfect. As it's brand new it has all the mod cons. Detached 4 bedrooms and on a 3 property cul-de-sac, so its real private. Neighbours seem lovely... even had us over Friday evening for drinks. The garage is currently full of cardboard boxes so my gym is on the back-burner but my game room is getting close to being complete.

I'm off work for the next two weeks, so really looking forward to totally embedding myself here.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I can’t say I’ve ever seen or heard of a cricket bat guitar before! Sounds good fun though

@Thrillho Yeah it's a great cricketar! body of a cricket bat, neck of a guitar, anyway. Been following the friendly against India in the T20 World Cup? Looks like they were just toying with us at the beginning of their innings.

Stumbled upon a YouTube video just now reviewing the Evercade VS… and although I’d probably put little more than an hour or two into it if I actually ended up buying it… I’m so tempted! Please, someone speak some sense into me before I preorder something that will just take up dust and gather space… or the other way around.

Or, am I just being cynical and should I unleash my inner arcade-attending 12 year old and crack on?

@Thrillho Did you see the result of the England v Windies T20 match? What a result!, eh?

@TheBrandedSwordsman I only saw the result but they were some tasty bowling figure for England

And it sounds like there's been some good games today too.

@Thrillho Yeah I know you only really follow England but India v Pakistan was interesting as it was the first time Pakistan had won against India in the T20 World Cup, and they did it by 10 wickets! What do you think about that?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Yeah, pretty mad result and I imagine the atmosphere would have been incredible.

And I guess you're heard the news about Ben Stokes declaring himself fit for the Ashes!

@Thrillho No I hadn't heard that, great news!!!
