Video Games

Playing in London was the only reason I wanted it - and maybe now I'll get it if I can find it cheap.

Any other games that do London well? Having moved recently I could use the virtual fix.

The previous wolfenstien (sp?) was fantastic. One of the best single player experiences I've had in recent years.

When I first moved to London I bought Getaway: Black Monday in order to familiarise myself with the roads...

Old Kent Road on orange and Vine Street on brown?

What the hell version of Monopoly are you playing?

They're mostly wrong

Bought Wolfenstein TNO and OB, and noticed Dark Souls 2 was £9 so i picked it up too.

it's post gentrificationopoly

Looks like fake monopoly to me...

That game, and the original Getaway, were proper cool. But I never did understand why the Yardies were in Shoreditch.

Woop...Woop.

Ugh. PUBG. 2 quick rounds for a mid morning break. 1st round I got blown up in the red zone which has never happened before despite runningly through them regularly in a very blasé fashion before. 2nd round spent the entire round running to avoid the blue zone. Picked up a Kar which I'd never used before and didn't realise it was bolt action. Picked up a silencer for it too. And silencer for a pistol I found but found NO other weapons all round despite searching. Managed to swim across the channel for the last zone and made it to the last 3 before realising I had eyes on both of the other players and they were easy kills, assuming I had weapons. I was prone about 10 feet behind one of them who was facing the other way, also prone. I used the silenced Kar but as he was in grass didn't get a headshot. Hit his body and saw blood fly but he turned around and gatted me with an M416 while I watched in horror at the bolt being drawn back instead of getting a satisfying silent double-tap and on to the win like I'd hoped with a semi-auto.

That Kar reminds me of the Mosin, deadly over range... I was in the final few (before it becomes the prone in grass last one to move standoff) and heard one a way off but had to move from cover to get inside the zone... booooooom I'm dead.

Had a great game yesterday, played aggressive, got some beautiful kills, only just made top 15 or so I think but I'm still playing for kills not wins.

Mini 14 is a beast.

Looking forward to this PUBG business coming out on xbox. And COD wwii. Cos you know, you just have to.

There's a sale on Steam today btw.

Raced to DOUBLE air-drop and was excited to be the only one around for miles but tried to do things quickly. Jumped off bike to get straight into the loot and insta-died.

Moving at speed and jumping off of vehicles is a no-no apparently.

Experimenting is fucking my stats.

You care about your stats? I know how many I kill, thats all that matters...

Mario Odyssey day... just about to sneak out the office and spend the evening playing it :)

How did it go? I'm up to 2 close friends with switches now and it's doing my head in that I need to wait til christmas

Yes had high hopes for that. Was disjointed
So many dead ends in getaway London

Started new Mario in handheld mode only (out of home atm) and played about 2.5hours so far.

It’s just jaw dropping...

Everyone knew it’s gonna br amazing as almost any other classic Mario game, but this is something completely different.

100% worth buying a console for this (and Zelda obviously).

Managed a couple of hours of mario so far. Incredible

Considering it was out around the same time as GTA Vice City, I think they did a relatively good job of recreating it.

Given the complexity of London, it'd be pretty tricky to model it exactly.

Unfortunately it's probably the closest we're going to get to a virtual London over the next decade or two.

Fuck, I need this in my life... 😭
