Transistor is pretty good.Happy to finally have it and play it. Can't wait for Galak-Z later this year too.
I'm loving it so far, the soundtrack especially.

Yeah forgot to mention! One of the big reasons I loved Bastion, absolutely loving what I've heard so far in this, only an hour in.

One day you'll just post a pic of your entire junk and I'll laugh so hard my spleen will fall out. It will be glorious.
Mildly interested but will wait for some reviews to appear before jumping in.
Pfunk? Is that some amalgam of Parliament & Funkadelic?

Got a text an hour ago that my pre-order will be ready on Tuesday. I must've done that a year ago at least and I have no idea why. It's going to be a boring game with a mildly interesting premise, so just like Assassin's Creed. I'm going to cancel and get a Steam voucher instead.

hold up (and forgive the question if it's a bit too personal) but you make £500 an hour? :0
See this is an example of why Watch Dogs is winding me up.
Fake reveal
Unrealistic launch date and delay
Far too many 'special edition's
General air of desperation (with the Division delayed we need this for our FY14 results guys!)
'edgy' premise
same old same old open world design
I will eat crow if I am wrong, but it smells really stinky to me. And I'm on a mission to singlehandedly ensure that Ubi stop with this AAA piffle and make more Rayman and Child of Light.
It's all a bit commercially sensitive. PM me if you want a discussion on the gearing of professional services firms. I don't make that much.

I still haven't played Last of Us. Might just wait until I get a PS4 and buy it there. As for GTAV, waiting patiently for the PC version.
I was looking forward to it last year but lost interest around October last year. I'll probably just get it when it's incredibly cheap just to see what it's like.

Well outside of perhaps Oxbridge, or a few other quirky institutions there's generally a lot less variation over here in how your course is put together, certainly for economics, than other systems like the US.
Most courses for Economics are three years, with four year courses involving a one year work placement (usually paid), between your second and third years of studying, aka sandwich courses.
For my course, the module system was changed after my second year, apparently to be more in line with other universities. Essentially, you have two semesters, one from Sep- Feb, the other Feb- June. Four modules per semester, each worth 15 credits, totalling 120 credits for the year (all of which must be gained to progress through to the next year/graduate). Prior to this, different modules had different credit weightings on your year average. Most modules marks are a 70/30 split between a final exam, and in class tests/coursework respectively.
Each semester, we had one fixed module (Micro in Semester 1, Macro Semester 2), and the other three we had to pick from a fixed list of optional modules. Now I gather in some countries you can do all sorts of hippy dippy shit, but here the modules were all run by the Economics department, and so were properly related to the degree. E.g. Time Series Econometrics, International Trade, International Finance, Energy Economics, and so on.
My course differed in that the final year dissertation was optional (most are compulsory). Not only that, but it was only worth 15 credits, so in semester 2 you had three modules, plus a dissertation to complete (most degrees have less modules in this semester to allow you to work on it, i.e. it is worth say 30 or 45 credits).
Regarding what you asked, I don't know of any degree in which you could decide on how many modules you took, that was always fixed here, you just got to pick the specific content in second and third year.
In terms of failing, the pass mark is 40% for each module which had to be met. If you failed to make the grade, exam resits allowed you a second chance, but were pegged at 40%, no matter how well you performed in it (aka fucking up your average mark for the year). Also no bell curve gradings or any shenanigans over here either.
Hope that helps!

So at work tonight there was a fucking ten man brawl and one bouncer took on the entire fucking bunch, it was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen

I like the BBC3 programme generator!
All is as it always is around here Mr Sheep. E struggling with constant pain and inability to move, me working all hours because you can never have enough material goods or financial security (or any financial security, bloody law school debts), playing far too many video games instead of going out in the world and doing things and reading and 'being creative' whenever I can stop wasting my life making artificial progress in a computer program. Oh, and since I got home late, I've decided to stay up all night because we're not going anywhere tomorrow (that sounds bleak, but I actually quite like the 'quiet hours' ,it's a nice time to sit and listen to records and knit) What's new with you?
Blimey.
And no, I do not agree with this. Change your tastes please.
Yo 8bit I work right next to the School of Art and yeah, it's totally fucked. Burning for a good 6/7 hours, firefighters stationed all night. We'll be lucky if it doesn't collapse. Big blow for the city of architecture, seeing that ancient building across the road from the super modern new union was amazing.

I'm working this Sat/Sun but I'm planning to go see the new X-Men film on Monday. Might have a BBQ too if the weather isn't shite.
This sounds a bit more promising than I expected.

I don't know exactly which ones we'll end up playing - it's not mainstream ones like Monopoly/Scrabble/whatever though if that's what you're asking. Stuff like Settlers of Catan or Carcassonne.

You just don't fuck with bouncers.
We've got one from around my way who goes by the name of Kato. He looks like a little Japanese Penfold (from Danger Mouse). He can't be much over 5 foot tall. He's articulate, cultured, genteel, a very calming demeanour... and possibly the hardest bastard I've ever met. I've seen seen him "deal" with 5 guys (oo er), all of whom were a good deal taller and broader than him, without breaking a sweat. Other bouncers are scared of him because when he kicks off (and it takes a lot), he really kicks off and the others have a hard time reeling him back in. It's like watching Mr Myagi take on the Cobra Kai. If he's on the job and you see him take off his little glasses (and he's not looking in your direction), you're in for a master class in crowd control.
This is getting ridiculous.

Today is a BBQ at my mates then his stag do tonight, tomorrow is seeing the old's and probably doing some shopping and shit, then Monday I'm helping my mate wire out his loft.
Also, the joyous housemate meeting is required at some point this weekend. I'm off down Manchester next month and Lee is moving in with his missus, so that just leaves Pats and Glen holding up the fort unless they find someone else. I hope they decide to move out, purely so we can split the pot of money four equal ways rather than fucking about. I wouldn't care, but after what's left in the account, the deposit to be returned and a rebate from the energy company we're due about £300 each.
I'm taking the other half to my nan's where half the Welsh family are visiting so she can meet them, then we're going to Jedeye's BBQ.
Might be taking my cousins swimming tomorrow, but we might do cinema or something instead.
Monday I'm starting some private work that could rake me in a fair bit of cash over the next couple of weeks. Exciting!
Wish I could get more private work.

Ta! My next thing I want to do is a 'Break Your Own News' thing. You upload a pic, write a line of text and it spits it out looking like Sky News. Mainly as I did this manually in the office when someone finally got round to doing the tea round an hour late and it seems like an amazing idea. Just need to think it through how it will say, not save anything to my server and not be a security risk. Etc.
Been a bit crappy so not much. WiiU, being sad and watching election night results... there's a food fest on in Sheff but it's all wet so that's much less fun.
I'm at home with the two children while Mrs. 8bit is in Glasgow buying cheap clothes for the children to take on holiday. It's raining and we're not going to get very far, so it's a weekend of Disney, Nintendo, Apple & Lego. Dunno what the children are going to do.
It's a working day here on Monday and as most of my customers are in the UK I'm not likely to be very busy but I've got an exam scheduled for Monday that I've done almost no revision on, then Wednesday through to Friday are holidays here.

Don't tell anyone, it would ruin me, but I find Yahtzee's reviews to often be very insightful. He gets ghettoised because he's 'just trying to be funny' but I find that humour and insight are normally anything but mutually exclusive - hence why I'm neither funny nor insightful.

Thanks for all the game responses guys, good read! Most of you are correct as you put RDR. But the lack of Dragons Dogma (apart from JackBen who missed out on RDR!!!) means I can never buy you cars if I won the lottery. Soz.
I had to goto the third page to find this thread, da fuck guys.
It's Dr. Sanchez you Lady Gaga thong!
So NIN was awesome, but the crowd in my area were erm... a bit shit. There were like 3 guys standing, some people complained about them standing. I stood up for most of it to have fun but felt a bit awkward about it, had to ask the people behind if it was alright and stood on the stairs when I could. Why would you go to a NIN concert, get tickets close to the action and then sit? Some weren't even like head nodding. Would have gone to the standing section but my wife is small and don't want to lose her or get her hurt. Plus its nice to sit for the slow songs at least. It kicked off near the end which was good at least.
Picture:
I have been sick lately so woke up with little sleep on Saturday feeling like shit and deaf in one ear. Apparently loud music and infections don't get on. My throat was on fire and could barely talk either. Heading to comic con with a mask I couldn't see out of. So was blind, deaf and mute...
Anyway, pic of me and my daughter looking embarrassed.
Had a CEX picture as well:
https://www.facebook.com/CeX/photos...68287223/10152632539757224/?type=3&permPage=1
Was with my mrs, a friend and their daughter as well and they all got tired pretty quickly after the general admission (the crowd was massive this year, way more than before I am sure) tidal wave. So ended up leaving early which is a shame, would rethink wearing a costume with a mask as I barely saw anything. Still, my daughter absolutely loved seeing all her favourite characters (Frozen, Tinkerbell, Belle, Spider-Man, Superman, Wolverine, Batman etc.) which was the main reason for going anyway. Had a laugh at least, got some nice comments on my costume too.

I've never had any of those horror stories, but then I'm not a child, going to the weird hotel parties or around creepy people so am less likely to experience them I guess.
I did MCM a few of times and it was fun, but not hugely driven to go back. Went with a large group of friends which was good as you could split up and go in different groups, switch throughout the day a bit - but in terms of stuff to do it's mostly the same expensive stools and if you're not buying stuff due to brokeness well not much fun there. The costumes are cool, good to chat but it's too big to really settle down and enjoy it.
Done cosplay twice for expo, once as Ramona Flowers and another as the Eleventh Doctor, in a time I got slightly mobbed for photos and was a bit overwhelming at times, couldn't really walk round for a bit. But fun. But mental.
