It's finally on sale, so I got Midnight Suns for the PS5, and I've been really enjoying it. If I had to sum it up in four sentances: 1) I really like the friendship mechanics and the bonuses you get from putting the work in. 2) Just as in real life, I am not great at knowing the right things to say to make friends. 3) I love the battle system, the tactics, knowing when to use moves and bonus actions, every part of it is so fun. 4) I am really bad at battling, I usually win, but often through sheer luck rather than tactical nuance.

I forgot how much I hate the Control level on GoldenEye. I failed it four times (on Agent) before I got it done, three times because Natalya got killed (twice after she had completed her hack), and once because I was so happy Natalya had survived I forgot the second objective to destroy a load of servers.

I don't think I could say anything different to that. It's fun in places, disappointing in places, and just pretty average. I think the ending could have been treated a bit differently to give it more impact, but the post-credit scenes do at least remedy that somewhat. The amount of CGI is off-putting, particularly for an Ant-Man movie where the rest of the franchise has saved the CGI for the characters, not absolutely everything. And the choices made in the casting leave a lot to be desired...

It will have the pink/blue inverse colour scheme for the first three races, same as last year.

I played Tapped Out so much a long time ago, but gave up on it after it became far too repetitive. There used to be differences in events, but it became "make this person do this task 5 times" for everything, with the standard EA "it sure would be easier if you spent real money on this character" on top. Any chance something has changed in that regard?

I did wonder how they were going to make last season remotely interesting, unfortunately it seems the answer is making the team principals front and centre. Still, time to pay for one month of Netflix to watch it.

The Mercedes is here, and you'll never guess what colour it is... At this point there's nothing more useless than the colour setting on my TV. Yesterday was Ferrari, who have also added more black to the usual red. I'm aware I'm turning into this guy.

Another team choosing black as their main colour. Thankfully the papaya should still stand out enough.

The FCC are getting ready to count the millions of dollars they're getting in fines from all this swearing.

Clark Hunt getting ready to celebrate his undeniable talent of inheriting a franchise from his father. Way to go, champ.

This game is ridonkulous.

The pitch seems to have got even worse. Someone slipped on every play on that drive.

I was wondering that too, based on the seemingly deliberate choice of that outfit to highlight her midriff, and the fact she did very little dancing. Fair play for her for going on that platform because it was wobbly as hell.

They have one dance move, both arms swinging in the same direction, and by God are they going to do it as many times as possible.

The audio on this sounds really weird.

I can't wait, but I also can wait because the longer I do, the longer they are all still alive in my MCU viewing canon.

2 Rushing and 1 Throwing TD is pretty much a guaranteed MVP if Philly win.

Imagine willingly giving up a 24-year-old AJ Brown in a trade.

This is going to be a ridiculous game if the first 10 minutes are anything to go by.

Someone better make sure Salt Bae isn't around to get his hands on that trophy.

My food preparation for this has been abysmal. I've somehow left myself with only Monster Munch and Creme Eggs.

This season. It's made what used to be a clear decision (BBC) into a tough one as both ITV and Sky will have adverts. I'm going Sky because I'm paying for it, so I may as well use it. I'm sure the US commentary will be on both though. Nothing sums up DJ Khaled like being the hype man for both teams. Dude will literally represent anything that pays him, and I'm still struggling to understand why he is popular.

Yakuza 4 done. I cannot stress enough how much better 4 was than 3. On to 5 we go...

I may or may not still do this. It's never shown to work, I just did it back when the rumour was prominent and haven't stopped. Mortal Kombat's rumours and secrets are always fun, even if it's something they started themselves with the inclusion of Reptile in the first game. My favourite has to be someone seeing "Ermac" in the game code and thinking it was a secret character, when in reality it stood for "error macro". But then they made a character called Ermac for the next game anyway.

I no longer support this statement, as it appears Beverley is getting a buy out to rejoin... the Timberwolves.
