Yeah, I mean Fulham spent as much in one Premier League transfer window as we have in three and they had more quality man for man to start with. I think it's fair for their board to have expected better results than they've had.

Alchemist absolutely killing it here. One of the best releases of the year just on one listen.

Doubt he would've been so keen on VAR last season when he initially got away with shoving his studs into Jonas Lossl's face. He's such a horrible little scrote. Big afternoon for Huddersfield as we celebrated moving joint top of the Hitting the Woodwork League with Man City. We're not anything like good enough to afford to be as unlucky as we've been this season, although we haven't been playing too badly for the last month or so. Jonathan Hogg also got his first assist in 112 games. That takes some doing from midfield, even for a holding player.

Since I didn't have the minimap or GPS on I did exactly the same thing. Went to look for the hotel I'd been told to go to, took about three steps and had an instant (and very jarring) game over. To be honest I'm half tempted to use this as an excuse to sack it off and wait for the PC version since I've had a little voice nagging at me throughout saying 'You know you're going to end up doing all this stuff again'.

It's certainly quite a weird game. I was constantly flipping between 'this isn't very good' and 'this is somehow amazing' when I played it recently. Definitely worth a try for anyone who tends to like idiosyncratic stuff even though it looks as generic as they come at first glance.

Super hyped about the Elektroids news, I thought Warp would get around to them eventually since they've got wise to the reissue game in recent years but I guess they mightn't have seen it as a big enough seller. I've got to admit, I've missed the beats on the last few Dopplereffekt albums so I've been loving the new 12". Couple of proper bangers on there: Alva Noto and Byetone were involved in the second one so I'll chuck in this absolute classic for good measure even though it's not quite in keeping with the thread.

Looks like it's been £21 before so I'm guessing it'll be that again before too long.

Definitely worth hanging on. The Halloween one is generally 'themed but also including some random stuff'.

It seems fine from an input lag point of view and it has a scanline filter, which is unfortunately of the 'drain all the colour from the screen' variety but at least it's there I guess. The sound mix definitely feels off though. I reckon I'll probably go through them for the novelty of the trophies then stick to Retroarch since the audiovisual experience as it stands doesn't compete with that at all.

Eurogamer have gone pretty in depth on Rockstar today. Even keeping up with the stuff that's come out about them over the years there's still some shocking quotes in there.

It went on sale for £16.74 yesterday, funnily enough. Think it's been around that once or twice before actually!

Yeah, it's loads of fun and I imagine they'll be doing something about the online CaS stuff before too long otherwise it'll die a competitive death pretty quickly. The training and learning tools are so much better than Tekken's thankfully, including the ability to queue for ranked in the full training mode! Praise be. The written tutorials seem really good content-wise despite being a bit of a pain to navigate, hopefully they'll go up online somewhere before too long. I did nothing but win in the network test and have done nothing but lose in the full game. Cervantes is boss as fuck though so I don't care. Chucking out an unblockable gunshot from the other side of the arena to ring someone out makes me feel like I imagine those Siegfried players do when I get hit by their 'stab you and throw you over their head' thing at the edge of the stage every fucking time. His Dante-style double gunshot juggle which feels like it probably shouldn't work is also incredibly satisfying when you land it. Using his gimmicks reliably is a bit of a mystery to me at the moment though.

The custom characters are making ranked an absolute shitshow if you're actually trying to learn the game though. You can change character heights and weapon reach as well as obscuring the weapons completely. They really need to keep that stuff in offline and casual matches only, at absolute most.

Surely they're just covering themselves for any potential worst case scenarios there? I can imagine loss of progress applying to something like Street Fighter V where you have a separate in-game ID (with any associated DLC) that's presumably directly tied to your PSN ID and maybe other online games where your data is stored on the server side of things but I bet the vast majority of stuff will be fine. Definitely best to wait for other people to be the guinea pigs though, I'm sure a list of problematic games won't be too far behind.

'Everyone thinks I'm a wanker already, no going back now so might as well double down and pretend it was all intentional from the start'.
