    Knowledge is Power is more quiz based. That's You is more party game based.

    Fair enough boss, never played any of them :D

    Both of them are good family games so I've played both with the kids.

    They’re more party games than a quiz, but the Jackbox games are fantastic if you have a group together. They’re controlled by phones, and I think typically have an eight player max. The best ones are the most straightforward: Fibbage (the most recent version of which is in the Party Pack 4) or the standalone Drawful 2. They can inevitably get a bit crude depending on the group, but pretty sure there are family options if you’re playing with a younger crew anyway.

    Cannot recommend Fibbage enough. It's a brilliant party game.

    PS4 won't connect to the WiFi lads, anyone else have this problem before? I keep getting an error "the wpa password might not be correct". The password is definitely 100% correct, and definitely hasn't been changed because I tested disconnecting other devices and reconnecting just to be sure. Tried looking for a solution online but can't seem to find anything.

    Did you select WPA-PSK when it asks you to choose from WEP/WPA/WPA-PSK?

    Same they’re absolutely unreal craic

    The latest one, 5, has a rap battle game where robots read out what you write and its priceless

    Fakin it in the 3rd pack is a great game and you’ll really find out who’s a good lier or b’ser

    Survive the internet in 4 is brilliant for just random stupid things that can have you pissing yourself

    Its probably best with a group of older people where you can be as crude and ridiculous as possible, but games like Fibbage and Bracketeering are also tailor made for all ages so there’s something for everybody

    They go on offer fairly regularly, the 1-4 bundle which is €80 now I got for €32 before, and 5 is €30 and I got it for €15, the best games are in 3, 4 and 5 so any way you get them is good

    I don’t know how they aren’t more popular than they are, I must have played them with 20 different people and everyone loved them, 4 different people some abroad some other side of the country have my ps details just for jackbox

    Yeah i did, I tried setting it up in custom, never had any problem with it before, usually just go into easy set up and I was connected to it last weekend so it usually automatically connects no bother.

    Try connecting to the hotspot on your phone. If it connects to the hotspot, I'd contact your ISP. If it doesn't, something possibly up with the PS4.

    Do you have to connect via WPA? Have you googled the issue and the model number of your router?

    Im baffled,how can Buzz be nearly 10 years old but they have yet to better it?:P

    Had a look and i think knowledge is power is about the best of what im looking for. Id known about jackbox party and it looks great but it was more quiz type stuff im after.

    Tbh i reckon i might just use actual phyical games,seems the easier option.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 398 ✭✭LandonRicketts


    Take a look at "It's Quiz Time". Find it much better that the Buzz! games. Use your phone as a controller. Up to 8 players I think

    This isn't bad. Very slow if you play with 8 though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,709 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Watched a trailer for It's Quiz Time, the AI host is annoying and bland. If you could turn her off, i'd nearly get it myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,021 ✭✭✭Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy


    Started up White Day again, got 2 more endings and think I finally got the new character unlocked, will have to play another bit

    Keep an eye out for Pringle cans with with a PS4 promotion. Inside will be a code you can enter on the Pringles website for a chance to win a 4 pack of PlayLink games and 20 euro PSN credit.

    Edit: I had just gotten an email from Sony about this but just checked the FAQ's and it seemed it ended in April...

    How long does the promotion last?
    The promotion is open from 02.01.2019 until 30.04.2019. Entries can be made between 11am and 7pm within the promotional period.

    Also, the code seems to be on the bottom on the can, you could just pick one up and take a pic of the bottom.

    I've been trying to think of ways for the last 10 minutes on how to nonchalantly take a pic of a Pringles can in a store. Anyone who works in a shop could go mad though.

    Stack them all upside down in your basket, take one pic, "change your mind" & get a different flavor. Rinse & repeat :pac:

    I legged it downstairs to see if that promotion was on the tube of Pringles in the kitchen. It wasn't. Me disappointed.

    Any recommendations for a small indie game with a nice story? Currently playing TLOU Remastered & Red Dead 2 so want a small side game that has no killing etc just a nice & relaxing story 😂

    Help me, I’ve killed so many people with baseball bats and strangled more than I care to remember.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,065 ✭✭✭shuffles03


    Just bought Abzu

    Inside is one of my favourite games. Sorry I missed the relaxing bit, please ignore :)

    Forgotton Anne looks like it would be worth a punt and it's on sale at the moment. Thinking of picking this and Virginia in the sale.
