    I was gonna share it but I wasn't sure if I thought its fantastic because it is or because I'm a Blur fangirl lol.
    Have to get the new album soon.

    Delighted for fallout 4...ive put a lot of hours into new vegas and fallout 3. The only thing annoying me is that I'll have to build myself a new pc now since my one is on its last legs.

    As for powerdrive 2000, cant wait to get my hands on that, played the pre alpha and its already great

    I loved Fallout 3 and Oblivion, never owned New Vegas and, while I own Skyrim I've never put more than 10 minutes into it :(
    But this looks very nice although, I have to say, the visuals look a little low fi for a next gen game.
    Perhaps once it's moving and under player control it'll be more impressive.

    I'll be getting Fallout 4 as soon as it is out but really find the Bethesda games and writing very soulless. Would love if they left it to someone like Obsidian because New Vegas was so much better than Fallout 3.

    I think the original cut of Aliens is what people should watch first. The whole colonist sequence really breaks the tension of what is about to come at the start of the film. However the Special Edition is definitely the one to go to when revisiting it.
    Whats the colonist sequence?

    LV42 or whatever before the marines get there when they discover the ship.

    LV426 or Acheron.
    They have a sequence where the colony administration discuss the family being directed to check out grid coordinates, laughing at the bureaucracy as children scamper about at their feet and play games amongst the vents.... Hmm, wonder if that'll be important later....

    Still a great edition to watch.
    You have to sit and drink in the building tension for a solid hour before a Xeno kicks it all off in the spooky basement.

    sold listings on ebay is always going to be your best guide.
    don't be afraid to put them up on the marketplace here when you do go to sell them.

    Tomorrowland is really good by the way. Trailers don't do it justice. Be sure to try and see it on the big screen while you can. Doesn't seem to be doing too well at the box office so may not be around long.

    I must try to see it though it will probably be a matinee on my lonesome as my son has already seen it.

    Tomorrowland pissed me off. Bird is such a great spectacle director and remains so, but the script ruins all the good, promising ideas the film has. I've never minded Damon Lindelof before (well not as much as others do), but his work with the film is an absolute mess with contradictory and weirdly condescending themes - let alone the barely coherent mechanics of Tomorrowland itself.

    Video Games Live will be returning to Ireland on Sunday May 1st 2016, again as part of the Dublin International Game Music Festival. No word on tickets/ prices as yet.

    This year's show was great and I hope they learnt their lesson with charging too much off the bat. There was a good crowd there but they really could have packed the place out...

    you don't want to see their introduction to the NES then.
    they were playing the first level of SMB, and half of them got killed by the first goomba.

    I don't think it's all that bad. I'm pretty sure everyone was like that when they played those games first. The first goomba in SMB is meant to kill most players and is there to teach the player how the death mechanics work.

    Also Contra one of the hardest NES games ever? I'm not sure where it got that reputation as it's one of the easiest I've played and when I sat down to beat it it took me less than a day to get through the whole thing. Also the 30 lives cheat is not essential and in fact works against the player since you have so many lives to work with you get careless and don't learn the games patterns.
