Great win for Spurs but this was the big story of the night for me

Towards the late 90's it was Counterstrike, Quake III and Unreal Tournament on PC. I then moved onto Halo on the Xbox along with Battlefield 1942 back on PC. 1998-2008 was a cracking decade for single player games so I mostly played those. COD 4 came along but I didn't get much of a chance to play that due to work. I then played the shit out of MW2 and BO1 from 2009 to 2011 on Xbox and PS3. Great times! I don't find many online games very good these days especially with the potential available. Horrendous business practices, shit developers and weak game design has left a lot big brands lacking for me. I also seem to get very bored of these g-fueled, sweatfest FPS games very quickly now. I can compete just fine with the kids and their £200 headsets and gaming chairs but I dunno if it's my age or if games are worse than what they were.

Anyone seen this before? It's a pretty hilarious improvised comedy where they get a celebrity each episode and throw them into a murder investigation with DI Sleet (played by comedian Tom Davis) in the fictional town of Successville. Been on for a few years now and won some awards for the concept. It works really well considering its budget and simplicity. A few funny scenes:-

I put this Deponia code in the wrong thread A6VNI-CTHJ2-760PX Not sure if it's been taken yet though.

Danny Drinkwater charged with drink driving. His name is not a fair reflection of his character it would seem. Perhaps he should consider Danny Drinklarger or Danny Drinktoomuch. He certainly should've drunk water though!

Pretty good

Part 2 here finally.

Man City 1-0 Brighton on BBC = SHIT Watford 3-2 Wolves on BT = THRILLER Why does normal TV always have the shit match😁

Yep, you can't beat Bournemouth😎 Having said that, Tottenham's Park lane stand behind the goal is bigger than the entire Bournemouth stadium by 6,000 more seats alone!

Likely London https://www.pcgamesn.com/watch-dogs-3/london The first one was a bit disappointing but I really enjoyed the sequel especially as they didn't hype it up and just made it a fun experience.

I spent an outrageous amount of hours on the 360 and PS3 last gen but this time around I've only touched my PS4 for exclusives (which have been excellent but mostly single player) and spent most of the time on PC. I've had my PS4 for 5 years and enjoyed games like Uncharted 4, Horizon Zero Dawn, Spiderman, Detroit Become Human, God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, Shadow of the Colossus, The Last of Us and plus others but with Call of Duty going stale/crap and games being technically restricted and performing poorly at 30fps; I've been mostly on PC this gen and the difference has been monumental especially with quality and choice available. The only time I've had PSN was a one month freebie and it's still as crap as it ever was except this time you're paying £50 a year. PC has also become the lead platform for many FPS games and other genres and it's becoming more and more accessible in the mainstream. People are learning not to buy an Xbox One X and games for £500+ when they can invest in a PC and get cheap games and a far more user friendly experience. I'm looking forward to the PS5 though and I hope it can deliver the same level of exclusives and be technically strong from the get-go. The PS4 was dated along with the Xbox One when it dropped and games really struggled to be optimised. The range of early exclusives were fucking tragic and It didn't help that brands like COD which we were reliant with on the old gen went to shit and then seeing MP/social games being overrun with Battle Royale and ruined with loot box greed. I don't think there has been a truly ideal socially driven game like COD was in the old gen this time around. Instead we've been overwhelmed with a quantity of games that fall short or don't have that appeal. Too many games that promised so much and failed also.

This game came out of nowhere on Steam last week and is sitting on 'Overwhelmingly Positive' reviews. It's a rouge-like, co-op/solo looter shooter from,Gearbox. This is getting huge praise from the press also as is only £15. I think it's only on PC for now but it's not exactly a very demanding game.

Here is indeed the update from Casey https://kotaku.com/bioware-boss-addresses-studio-issues-vows-to-continue-1833802608 I've said it on a few occasions previous about my suspicions regarding Black Ops 4 and how there is no way in hell that the game we got (probably wasn't even a Black Ops game originally also) was the game they started producing back in 2016. We knew that Anthem was a shitshow but we just didn't know how much of a mess it really was and there were similar suspicions about BO4 and how that went from a farcical Overwatch-clone into a recycled BO3 flip with ideas borrowed from current hot games along with having an 11th hour Battle Royale mode chucked in that was clearly rushed. There was even tweets to support the fact that Vahn had to scrap the project after it was rejected by testers and low and behold we get yet another BO game painfully sandwiched into a timeline with no campaign, ripped assets and stolen ideas with no real innovation. I'd love for the truth to come out with that game as I bet it's not all that different from Anthem's mess albeit not as a prolonged, embarrassing or severe.

This guy was performing😂

Decent vlog but from a Palace fan

We now know that the E3 trailer from 2017 was fake - it was a tech demo laden with assets built on convoluted ideas that had only been named 'Anthem' a few days earlier. The game did not exist and the developers who watched the demo at E3 for the first time were essentially watching what they then had to go on and create. LOL at 0:03

I've added AngryJoe's video to the OP which is a good breakdown of the article with more info and his very own opinions.

Nah, I have more chance of appearing in a porn film than being at the new ground tonight or this season😎 I'll probably have to wait for the pre-season friendly, get a membership next year or hope they get an unattractive cup tie just to get in there! Instead of general sale, they seem to be offering guest tickets to season ticket holders and members for the rest of the season. Usually once the members got their tickets, any left over would just go on public sale but understandably the big gun supporters get the chance of more match tickets.

Kotaku put out a scathing article about Anthem and it's horrendous development, with developer interviews and previously unknown details. It's a long but very interesting read https://kotaku.com/how-biowares-anthem-went-wrong-1833731964 EA are apparently furious about it being leaked so that's a bonus😎

Blackout is free to play the whole month of April and with a new map PS4 gets a week exclusive but the mode is free on all platforms starting today. This is definitely going to go F2P for good eventually.
