    NFT's IMO are the most useless thing ever conceived in humanity. It's an unregulated sector rife with scams, fraud and other shady nonsense on top of being an incredibly lame concept and that's being extremely generous. I will never ever get my head around how a simple MS Paint picture concocted in 30 seconds can be sold for tens of thousands other than the purpose of money laundering. I just don't understand how owning a numeric serial of something digital is viable unless you can find some sucker willing to pay for it and you can cash out clean. I wouldn't even download a picture at gunpoint of the most valuable NFT and have it litter 13.9mb of a 2tb drive. The market has deservedly collapsed in the past year since many main players are being investigated by law enforcement, and there has also been a downturn on the amount of millionaire 'celebrities' promoting things after they were shamefully scammed or just want to distance themselves at the risk of being sued advertising something they don't understand. I prefer physical things made with due care, skill or have some history. I just find it a nasty trend on a shady layer of the internet. AI art can produce way more impressive material in less than 10 seconds than anything I've seen in the NFT field. Cash is king and you can't buy a car, holiday, food or TV with a collection of JPEG's of penises. If anyone makes a real money return out of this then fair play but me personally, I'd happily see this horrible fad die just like lootboxes.

    TLOU final part Great to revisit this again to completion for the first time since the remaster back in 2014. I did have another crack a couple of times on the PS5 with that game but checked out after a couple of hours. Picked Part 1 up with a voucher on PC and so pleased I played it through again. Big step up in visuals which is impressive considering how good they looked a decade ago. Only other improvements are to the UI and animations but a lot of work clearly went into this to bring it in line with Part 2. Definitely recommend grabbing this and if you've played it on the PS3/4 previous then still worth playing through again if you can get it in the sale.

    Insane that Luton are in the Premier League when little of a decade ago they were our arch rivals in the Conference - they used to get bummed by teams like Braintree and Barrow🤣 They’ve come a long way in that time and so have Coventry after dropping down to League 2. Dabo on penalties was always a huge risk but they will be disappointed at how they played especially first half. In other news, Dortmund bottled the Bundesliga in humiliating fashion in their own backyard. Not much sympathy in the world of football after that - Bayern literally gave it to them on a plate all season too.

    I swear to god every new release these days comes with a day one developer apology It's becoming a normal trend now. Absolute shambles!

    Yeah, hindsight is a wonderful thing and that decision was the biggest 50/50 probably ever in football - had they not played him and lost too, it would've been seen as one of the biggest regrets and bad decisions made in football. I think with Spurs scoring plenty in his absence, they should've left him on the bench at least until half time against Liverpool. Moura, Llorente and Son were proving to be a force. He contributed very little in the final overall and really took the sting out of Spurs's attacking threat from those games previous. His performance against Italy in the Euro Final really bemused me - he literally spent the whole match chasing shadows at a jogging pace offering absolutely no press or pressure and all it achieved was him getting knackered. Southgate didn't utilise him very well on the day but surely after an hour, he should've changed his approach. It's even important games like the FA Cup 5th round against Sheff Utd Reserves where Spurs outright fail and miss out on a big opportunity and he offered very little when it really mattered on the night.

    Some more info The Metal Gear Solid collection will also include the first two Metal Gear games | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Kept ya waiting, huh. So were getting Metal Gear 1 and 2 plus MGS's Integral Missions expansion which is a surprise bonus. Also the MGS2 and 3 ports will be from the MGS Collection that released on console about a decade ago. Not sure about the original Metal Gear Solid though but I am literally praying it's not the Twin Snakes port. Can't see it being this if they are porting the VR Missions standalone title and it makes me wonder if they will do a ground-up port for those two. Not too keen on the GOG version and I also wouldn't want to see them releasing some sort of upscaled ISO. Be interesting to see how they do this but having established builds for 2 and 3 3 is a good start.

    Just realised this game is made by Daedalic Entertainment - they've really dropped the ball with this one as most of their games are of really good quality from design to execution. I'm gonna guess they wanted a piece of the LOTR licence but weren't willing to pay top dollar for a premium part of it so they instead got themselves some cast-off portion of it. Bit like how the Vampire Masquerade and Warhammer IP's have their licences wide open now but at varying costs. They're definitely not gonna make a return on this that's for sure!

    I think he should leave in the summer and if he's destined to win something, it will be with someone else. Best for all parties IMO. Can't fault his loyalty over the years especially with the topsy-turvy nature of ownership and management of the club. Harry has had his chances to win things though - 3 cup finals with Spurs, a few semis and the Euro 2020 final and he's failed to perform in each one and not scored either. I actually think his 'big game' performances have been very costly when it's mattered but then again, he's partly the reason why they got there in the first place. Just wish he had that extra conviction.

    Absolute load of crap apparently. Prime example of a film that didn't need to be made or a story that needed to be told. Biggest gripe I have with these new Indy films is that they've lost the charm that the original trilogy had. The CGI in this one looks utterly shocking with its cartoony style and poorly done effects. That alone kills it for me - at least in the older films they were ingenious in dealing with tech limitations and stunts were done for real. The new ones just seem so lazy and artificial with a reliance on special effects. Such a wasted opportunity. If they went back to basics instead of going for these vastly exaggerated scenes then it would at least give the series back some style even with Ford being about 96 years old. The story doesn't seem to have any purpose either and doesn't do anything other that give Jones another adventure that he didn't need to go on. Another landmark franchise trashed by Disney.

    I didn't watch it (never really bother with these things) but it looks pretty disappointing overall. Biggest announcement was Metal Gear Solid Delta and then there was Spider Man 2 but other than that, nothing really significant. I am happy to see The Talos Principle 2 showcased as the original was excellent though.

    Sterling and Dier have had miserable seasons so glad they've been overlooked although I'm surprised Maddison has been given a chance as he's had a dreadful campaign. Kalvin Phillips has probably played about an hour this entire season so his selection is a bit questionable. Other than that, we look pretty decent and it's great to see players like Bellingham, Eze and Rice come on a bundle this year.

    I was just gonna post this🤣 Looks great - another review here

    Yep, once the bundle gets nerfed right on cue, it pushes people towards the next premium one. The old one becomes obsolete, people originally complaining about it being OP are finally happy for a few days and then the new bundle releases and it's rinse and repeat. It's a slippery slope once people fall into this trap and whilst many get out without spending too much, others are paying up to £100 a month.

    Yep, it's absolutely disgusting the amount of predatory patents EA and Activision have in play to extract as much money as possible from the gamer. Beyond aggressive free to play business models in full priced games and instances where gameplay and/or matchmaking is engineered to dictate in-game success and increase spend. I am absolutely astonished at how scripted FIFA UT has become and the amount of money people are willing to spend to be screwed over by EA. You just can't trust AAA competitive multiplayer gaming anymore. There was so much extended potential but companies have just exploited everything to extract as much money as possible at the expense of enjoyment and fairness. Counter Strike 2 is a prime example of things being done right - comprehensive matchmaking, sub-ticket system providing the highest quality servers, match protection anti-cheat and weapons that are just skins with a market dictated by the gamer. There's a reason why this brand gets up to 1.5m players online at a time and has an audience of 30m when it comes to majors. I'm not a huge CS player now but it's by far the most consistent series in existence that will never cease to grow.
