Nioh is good. It is basically just Dark Souls with samurai with Geralt from The Witcher but it does that really well and what it does differently works. Actually, thinking on it, I just realised the bloodstain mechanic in this is probably what counters my problem with weapon durability, huh. The similarity might be too its detriment in some cases though... (by which I mean I'm an idiot and had a hard time adjusting to its different control scheme).

It's way too hard for me though, couldn't even get to the first boss.

Glad you liked it. I'm on the fence a bit - I really enjoyed what I played but I need to see more of the world for it to really grab me. I'm not into Japanese history as a setting when compared to Souls land.

Not tried it. Too busy with DS3. Looks like my bag though.

Currently swooning over new Radiohead songs.

Me too!!! I must've listened to Burn the Witch about 50 times already.

Stuck in the mud: under the arms or under the legs?

Legs. None of that arm bullshit. Skinned knees were popular on my playground.

 

[AcridMeat]

Screaming Meat/Sploats how do you feel about Mad Season? It's what I've been listening to tonight instead of the new Radiohead.

So I walked out of my exam yesterday thinking I might've just gotten 100% which even if I don't is one of the craziest feelings.

Dimensional Analysis is still a tricky one for me so if I've gotten my units wrong I'll have sacrificed some marks, over all though my aim was to get 48% and if I don't get that I'll be on the phone with clown college within the hour.

Taking the morning to catch up on the walking dead because I've got some time before the rest of my nerd cohort rise and I don't know if this shit is good or bad but some of the action is rad. Either way it is bloody mental.. (currently on S6E15)

mate, it sounds like you're starting to really get your shit together.
all I will say is that you need to keep doing the research and talking to professionals - learn everything you can so that you know as much of what's going on in your head as possible - you'll start to develop some instincts for how to maximize feeling normal in no time.


Good on ya, Tashington.

Thanks mate, much appreciated.

But I'm against medication in general anyway (within reason) and avoid it at all costs.

What's your stance on Vaccinations?

Take Away pizza - Dominoes? Papa John's? Pizza Hut...? Other? Guide me, BritGAF.

What's this cheeky GAF celeb doing on our turf

Pizza Hut seemed cheapest, so I took the plunge. £10 for a pizza and a side/2 dips ain't bad. Papa John's seems to be quite a bit more expensive, and not that great... but then there IS one 20 seconds away from me...

Oh well. I'll report back with my review on Pizza Hut's takeaway pizza.

*EDIT* Also hi. I never post here.

Tenner for a pizza is pretty decent for takeaway these days, but as a filthy student and a lover of superior pizza I can confirm that twenty quid will get you two pizzas, sides and bottle of fanta from dominos and they are the king.
I did want to try the Champions bundle that Pizza hut do but they close at like 10pm and I'm only ever dumb enough to waste what little funds I have left when it's 3am and I'm off my twat.

Tash, I'm all for vaccinations, I'm not insane. I don't think medicine is voodoo or some backwards crazy person shit, it's science and technology combining to preserve life, it's amazing. I just think it's too often relied upon as a "magic bullet" alternative to more healthy, natural courses of action.

I'm more against self-medication in general, those who reach for the medicine cabinet at the slightest sign of discomfort. I know a few people hooked on painkillers, "I don't quite feel 100% so I'll pop a load of pills" is a really unhealthy mindset to me.

There are instances where medication is the only course of action, however, despite how much someone would rather a natural course of action.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

How have I only just noticed that Massive Attack realised a new EP 3 months ago? My eye is off the ball these days mane:

Massive Attack feat. Tricky - Take It There

Yup, that's some brooding and menacing shit right there. Working with Tricky again too, glorious.

That's pretty much exactly what I just said dude.

[Rubbish King]

Right ladies and gentlemen, we've had angsty, we've had p90x, we've had barman and sexual deviant, I now present to you Sky Sports Pundit Tash reporting live from the studio.

Post match analysis today will be bleak as I missed all the games to revise for Solid Mechanics and Dynamics and I'm sad to say I didn't get to see Chelsea's fantastic Mid-table assault on Sunderland after their Champions league final victory against Spurs on Monday.
Still weighing up the odds for whether I can risk taking time out of my day tomorrow to see if Spurs can secure their highest league position since 62/63 or whether I should focus on securing Year 2* of my degree.

We'll find out after the break.

The north is a strange place so I make no assumptions.

I just think you're generalising using the minority as a stereotype and even then, when I went onto SSRIs it wasn't because I was a suicidal wreck teetering on the edge with nothing to clutch onto, I'd consider my depression to be fairly minor in hindsight. People I met at CBT were in a whole different Universe to mine and I remember coming out of those things feeling significantly worse after being around what I considered to be a far more serious cases.
If I hadn't tried those SSRIs... which in the end I had asked for I would have probably wandered out of that shit place eventually and done okay, but those things properly turned my life around even if it turned out the diagnosis wasn't quite right. I don't think the idea of being on them permanently is a great thing, but that's because of how they reacted with me. That's also a crucial point to remember, that any mind-altering drug can affect two people in remarkably different ways.

AYUP!
Tash I wish I'd taken your advice in hindsight mate, because THIS is what I got for my tenner:

What. The fuck. This is my side, surely? Where's the pizza!?
On top of that I didn't get the 2 dips I was supposed to get! And she wouldn't let me add a San Miguel to my order to take away either (which I sorta understand, but y'know, they WERE closing...)

disappointed to say the least. Domino's will be my future pick.

So I won a 100 pound all4one giftcard and I was thinking about using some of it to buy a new game as all I find myself playing is goat simulator.

I've got both the consoles and I want something with a story but also something that has decent replay value or with a mode I can jump in and out of when I have a bit of spare time. I was thinking DOOM looked pretty good for that but I wanted your guys opinion as I'm a bit out of the loop.

How old are you? I think you're a couple years younger than me if my memory tells me things

 

[Symphonia]

Overwatch is out the end of this month, and if the beta is anything to go by, then it's most certainly a jump-in, jump-out kinda game. I'm not sure if there's a narrative as such, but the gameplay is just fun and frolics. It's definitely one to play with friends, though it can be played solo.

 

[Übermatik]

Übermatik has giant hands: confirmed

Haha my friend said this... maybe I just have 12" hands!?

I thought the Doom beta was horrible, it's just not what I expected from Doom.

Been playing The Division mostly solo recently, quite enjoying that. However, Uncharted 4 is out this week so that'll be my pick.

how can you have gotten past 22 w/out getting a pizza delivered mush

Aww mannnnnn don't tell me that.
Can't do the division, just know I'd either hate it or never be able to leave it like I did with Destiny


It's currently a toss up between doom and uncharted 4 but uncharted 4 I can't just hop in and out of!

the last game I bought was Fallout 4 and the one before that was Destiny TTk. So is there anything else that could fit the bill?

Why not get Alienation on PS4 as something you can jump in and out of, then maybe buy a slightly older single-player game for the meaty story you want.

Same sort of price & you get two things to play instead of trying to get both things out of one game

Off the top of my head; Ratchet & Clank, Quantum Break, Dark Souls 3, Tales from the Borderlands, HITMAN

I'll have to make a decision after my exam tomorrow, depending how that goes.

I might've done, but I usually avoid doing that online... Too many admirers. I'm sure you understand.
And I have! But it's always been from your dodgy local pizza shop. THEY'RE the cheapest. And best, when drunk... I've never really dealt with the delivery titans, though.

Also good luck with your exams dude!

Quantum Break isn't that great, IMO. Ratchet & Clank is bright, colourful and fun.

As to Doom, I guess if you go into it without expectation it might be fun but the beta just didn't work for me.

 

[Rubbish King]

Well that was the worst nights sleep I've had in a while. Exam isn't until 2 so I've tried to lie in but hayfever is raping me.

During my strange fight with sleep I had a dream I got banned from GAF and I didn't know if it was a perma and in my dream I really cared. I think I'm slowly becoming a regular once again..

Do you guys reckon the next ban I get will be my last? I must be close to ten bans by now
