    My missus watched the 1st 2 episodes last night, which meant I saw them by osmosis. Seemed pretty good tbh, she loved it.

    I keep my Playstation horizontal (as I mainly use discs), what do ye use to raise it up a bit to allow air flow?
    Currently it's sitting on some 5cent coins I masking taped together. I'm guessing you only really need about 1-2cm of space for airflow underneath

    you could use those little sticky pieces of plastic people use in doors to reduce the sound of them slamming, there only small though might not give as much height as the coppers.

    to be honest I'm impressed somone managed to find a use for those coins...

    Anyone tried Fortnite Battle Royale? Free to play and pretty good fun for what it is.

    You can play solo or with a squad of up to four. They're adding duos and crate drops next week too

    Yep its pretty good especially for free, had a win and all so now I fly is as Mary poppins.

    Complaints about the squad mode so far is that there is not enough loot to go around.

    It says out of stock for all stores for click and collect. At the bottom of the listing it says that the item is available in-store only.

    Mine is technically an anniversary present from the wife so I should be waiting til October 16th. Don't think I am expected to, though.

    Actually, I did open it - just not hooked it up. Find it laughable that they don't supply a plug. The usb cable sure, but not the plug.

    Not a massive deal, but still a little annoying.

    I'll give you €10 for the contents, boss.

    I wish I still had all my old consoles. No idea what I did with them.

    I don't remember selling the Megadrive or Snes, so they should be somewhere but probably thrown out. Think my N64 is still knocking about at home, but I may have given it to a mate.

    I know the dreamcast broke, so thats gone. Was actually considering buying one off boards the other day - someone was selling theirs and a bunch of games for 80.

    Defo get a DC but dont buy games unless they were awesome game such as shenmue, the others can all be gotten elsewhere handy enough ;)

    I have sold most my collection over the last few years but I will go back collecting when I get my own place.

    I remember saying YEARS ago that I was shocked Chu Chu didn't get many a re-release on other console stores. Would make huge money, imo.

    so what games are people looking at over the next few months?

    In the absence of PUBG on PS4, i downloaded Fotnite yesterday - will look to give that a bit of a bash over the next week. See if battle royale games are as horrible as I imagine them to be!

    Star Wards Battlefront 2 looks like it could be amazing fun.

    New South Park game looks great - never played the last one so that would be two on my list.

    Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus - but i may way til it drops in price to jump on that one.

    South Park is probably the main one for me. I'm on the fence about Shadow of War with all the micros transaction talk but might end up getting it after I see reviews.

    Other than them there's nothing really interesting me so I'll be working through the backlog and playing PUBG mostly.

    New releases mainly: South Park TFBH, Mario Odyssey and Red Dead Redemption

    Also buy the X-Com 2 DLC and Total War Warhammer 2 (when I upgrade my GPU)

    Play HZD, TLOU and Mad Max for the 1st times

    Go back to DOOM and UC4

    Never played first Battlefront OR South Park. Might be tempted.
    HZD DLC is a yes.
    Downloaded Fortnite BR today. See how it goes.
    PUBG, I'd probably play more if it was optimised better. Haven't played it in a while though, so that could have changed.

    Red Dead getting re-released?

    Sorely tempted to but a Switch - really want to play Mario Odysey and MarioXRabbids. A lot of cash to drop on that though.

    Also want to get Forza 7 on Xbox, but I don't have an Xbox One X and i'm not going to fork out for it - and it is less appealing to buy it on the 'normal' xbox. for some reason.
