I was in Bristol last month with Zahra - there are so many cool places, you'll love it.
my recommendations are Illusions Magic Bar, and right around the corner there's a speakeasy called Hyde & Co (you have to knock at the door and be let in)
Both very hipster bullshit, but great places too.

Thanks guys! I'll try and check those out if I get the chance.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Sorry Beth, I've been all caught up in The Division. It's purdy good
The zoo isn't half bad either.
Man, I actually can't wait to go back. I really like Bristol.
I think Z and I are going to do Manchester again next, because I want to go to the zoo there.
I saw you online with it! Been v busy with work though so forgot to comment.
Also been enjoying The Division, it's pretty neat. Enjoying the wrecked city / mostly realistic feel to it and it puts me in mind of PSO a bit.

Pffft. We haven't even gamed on the PS4 yet!
*kicks dirt*
Also, I don't have an Xbone.
Thank you for meeting your obligations.
Marv. Give me a shout if you do!
The Division doesn't interest me. It's Destiny as a cover shooter in New York right? I'm scared of these MMO time sinks. I feel like last year didn't happen and my level 34 warlock didn't really ease that pain.
No probs. Wish they'd hurry up and get Rez on the backwards compatibility.
Why is it up to me to sort something eh? EH? EH?!?!?!
What are you playing at the mo? I tried gauntlet on ps plus. It was alright. Bit like Diablo crossed with old school Gauntlet. That's multiplayer.
Oof. He's gonna have a bruise in the morning.
Yeah, you and me both. At least if it doesn't end up in BC there is RezPSVRMorpheusX or whatever it's called to at least ensure there is a version of it playable in this gen.
I quite liked Gauntlet, makes perfect sense as a twin stick shooter. Would probably go back to it if I couldn't find anything to play, but on the other hand I just finished building a desktop arcade cab so I might not be lost for games for some time.
fwiw, just finished Assassin's Creed : Syndicate, that was good fun. Evie is a wonderful lead character.

Well, y'know, I don't wanna, like, disturb you and that.
Um. I'm mostly playing Bloodborne still with a dash of SOMA and Hotline Miami. Hitman tomorrow though. I got Battlefront, but that'll have to be at the weekend. Et tu, Sploatee?

You're a big guy.
fuuuuuck
Yup. Rez VR is the killer app for me. I am so incredibly excited for it. Like you say, I just hope that for all the contracts and what not it's defined as a separate beast from Rez HD.
Oh wow cool! Would love to see a pic!
I've heard good things about Syndicate. Not sure if AC games are my jam but I'm open...seems like Ubi are addressing some of the problems with the series.
Don't be daft! Being awake is a disturbance to me. Everything else is insignificant.
Ah cool. Well, I just sold Battlefront, damnit. No hard feelings towards it, it's just that after about 60 hours I felt no desire to keep playing.
Me...I'm in the Xbox glow at the mo, so mostly sunset overdrive and Titanfall (again) but I've been playing a bit of Black Ops3 and enjoying it, which is a new feeling for me.
I dabbled a bit in Ori and was impressed with the Witness, but neither have really hooked me, yet, at least. Both seem like fantastic games, mind.
I'm getting curious about the Doom reboot. Aside from that and the aforementioned Rez VR, there's really only No Man's Sky that has my interest right now. I'm kind of burned out on Souls games, think Quantum Break looks a bit vidyagamez-by-numbers and have no investment in the Uncharteds.

Say what now...?
Where's Sploatee?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER?!
Coolio. Well, that puts somewhat of a spanner in the works.
Yeah, am a bit curious about Doom now, but I'm still playing Battlefront right now. Helps that we got a new telly that is ridiculously sized and everything looks amazing on it.
Also with you on No Man's Sky, but I lost interest in Elite pretty quickly last year so hoping for a bit variety than that one.
AC:Syndicate is one of the better AC games, but if you're not really into the formula it's not going to grab you.
The cab is a Picade, started it last year and had to wait on a new board as the shipped one was toast. Finally got back round to working on it a few weeks ago.

Hahaha! It might be something to do with the fact that in a row I played DS through to completion on 360, then through to completion on the PS3 (and halfway through NG+), then went straight to DeS through to completion and then Bloodborne 3 times in a row (NG++) to get the platinum. I went straight into DS2 and it felt really weird compared to the others so I thought time to take a little break.
At some point I'll definitely play DS3 though. It looks great! I just want to wait a bit so it's all fresh again.
Do you have PS+? Gauntlet is actually quite nice mild fun

Glad you're enjoying Battlefront
I got to level 50, got most of the powerups upgraded and finished with a k/d of about 1.5ish. I was absolutely addicted to Cargo, I think I just played the game to death. I even played a load of the Base Command game! It looks and sounds absolutely gorgeous though, you're not wrong.That cabinet looks amazing!!

Plenty of places, you will be spoilt. Also all of London at your feet. Suggest you do a bit of Google looking

I do. Can I get that for free? How about we get Nidhogg? That looks fun! Get BritGAF involved!
This I can dig!
Is nidhogg online though?
If it is I'd totally be down for that, although we'd need to catch up with the ps4 owners who have dearly departed. To whatsapp. 🙄

ish.
I was but I'm taking a break. I got put off by listening to elitist Bloodborne fans gush about it, so I'm deep in Division right now.
I've come to the conclusion that there are just too many games

Yeah, but, like, its fucking amazing, yeah?
I really want to dip into The Division. Is it good? I thought the beta was swell. I really like the setting; its a neo-liberal prepper's wet dream. Much more appealing than Destiny's 'Halo in Furs' schtick.
Tell me about it. I'm juggling SOMA, HITMAN, both Hotline Miami games, another Sunless Sea run and Darkest Dungeon at the moment. Then I've got a ton of other games I haven't even started.
The Division is fun, but I can see why there are people not loving it.
For me I really like the dark zone stuff, which is very tense, and, if I'm honest, the incremental gun upgrading gets me off a little bit too.
I couldn't give a toffee for the 'story' or whatever, but the setting is cool.
SOMA is the shit, by the way, good choice. I really need to dive back in and complete it, it's gorgeous and the whole theme of the piece feeds so deeply into "my thing" when it comes to fiction. Perfection.
I'm very much looking forward to Hitman too. That's today, right? I think my pre-load is ready for when I get home tonight, if I'm not too late (playing 40k with friends straight from work)

Cool. I'll probably give it a shot when it goes on sale.
Same here. I was sold as soon as someone told me it opened with a PKD quote.
I have to say though, I reckon I can see roughly where its going. Stand out thing for me so far are the really tactile controls. Seem silly but it adds a lot. Great system. Yup.
Is 40K still a thing? Didn't know you were a board gamer! UP THE TYRANIDS! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! I'M EMBARRASSING MYSELF, AREN'T I?!
Yeah man, the 40k scene is coming back, too, they just reformed the specialist games team, so expect stuff like Necromunda to come back soon.
I roll Orks. Get into it.
Are you much of a PC gamer? You mentioned Sunless Sea and Darkest Dungeon....do I have you on Steam?
I think I got it on ps+ - I'll check.
Nothing wrong with 40k! Apart from the cost, of course.
I'm really surprised at how un-shit the Xbone is. Was expecting it to be a catastrophe and while the UI is truly fucking awful it's really quite a neat and quirky little (big) machine. I have the elite controller too and it feels like luxury gaming.
I'm really feeling the gaming love at the mo. For the past few months I've been dipping in and out but over the last few weeks I've been really rediscovering the joy again. Weird that Black Ops 3 should be the trigger for that and not The Witness, mind. Wonder how long before I start sneering at indie games and getting into FIFA 😊

Not enough DAKKA DAKKA.
Man, I used to play Space Marine/Epic way back when the main source book was Adeptus Titanicus.
I still have that somewhere. Never tried 40K. Not enough Land Raiders. I play bits and bobs that my laptop can cope with. Not fucking SUPERHOT, apparently, because your God hates me.
I've never given my Steam name out. I'll look it up! Probably screamingmeat or a variation on that.
Am I in some fucking Bizarro World or summink? DA FUCK HAPPENED?!

The Elite controller is a lovely controller though, the DS4 seems like cheap plastic in comparison. I was quite looking forward to The Witness, but my daily business is mostly solving abstract puzzles so it just felt like work when all I want to do is unwind.
And on that subject I hit a glitch in The Division which dropped me through the floor into room filled with servers. Just like any other Thursday.
Excellent, we can play next week maybe? Or I think I can be free on Sunday

Well 40k is the thing now, everything but 40k and Age of Sigmar (which is what Warhammer classic is now bafflingly turned into) are the only things they really do.
That'll change soon. I'm tempted to jump ship for Battlefleet Gothic, if that picks up again.

I can do any evening from about 9pm onward. Not that you asked, you fuck.
Age of what...? What?
BG is getting a vidya game soon(ish), innit?

So that Adele bird has been playing in Manchester all week, I only know because work has been mental busy and rinsing her songs on the sound system over and fucking over! But seriously, bear with me here:
Adele - Rolling In The Deep (Jamie xx Shuffle)
He even makes whiny "dumped girl crying into a glass of wine" bilge palatable. Fucking tune, I don't even care.

Look yeh I'm a supporter of Liverpool United until I die, OK! OK!
"Come on United! You're simply the best! Better than all the rest!"
I used to play Epic too. Although it was then called Space Marine. Was great fun. Even though I always, always lost.
Hahaha.
Innit. It's like having that really posh dental floss. I'm not sure if I can quantify how much better it is than the cheap stuff but it just feels nicer.
Sure, just drop me a message, yo. If I'm around I'm around if I'm not I'm not.

That's be about the time I started. I don't think I ever won either.
