Thank you, I'll fire up old wheezy soon.
I took that pic to try and get a freebie Soul Calibur 2 HD.
Forza 5 is pretty, it makes me squint my eyes on a track because of the sun.

That should have went ages ago to be honest. Just watch some of the utter dross Jim Sterling plays on youtube.

Man of Steel and Avengers Assemble. Because we can't just call it The Avengers. Stupid Emma Peel and her catsuit.
Disclaimer - I have not seen Iron Man, Thor and Captain America. Avengers I felt took a while to get into the action, Once it got there was amazing to watch. Enjoyed it immensely after the slow start. Best Hulk movie by far.
Disclaimer - I am more of a DC man than a Marvel man. Man of Steel. If I thought the first half of Avengers was slow, jeez... but it was more schizophrenic. Is that the word? It jets about the NEW Superman origin story a lot for the first hour, I really liked the Krypton bit, dunno why. Second hour. Great action with Superman, Zod, Non and Faeora. But holy [censored] a lot of people died. If it was real. And I guess thats the problem I have with Man of Steel. Its trying so hard to be The Dark Knight, that it forgets its lol Superman. Zod, also I felt needed to be much more crazier. He only really became a good villain in the last moments and with the final bit of the fight, I cant really explain, its just not really Superman.
I understand the better Superman stories come from having a "dark edge" (Red Son and Injustice) but there doesn't seem to be that reason to have one. Can't help feeling it should have been in a sequel. Like "Superman Arrives" and then "Man of Steel" Where you do that ending. I guess thats the thing.
In short - Avengers - better, more fun movie. Superman - prettier, but attempts to be "epic" and falls flat. Not a bad movie but not an All-Star (tee hee)
I worry for Bats Vs Supers. For several reasons.

I kinda guessed about the Blu Ray download. Something to do with licenses.
Mind you the download of Titanfall I've been able to catch up on some movies. Avengers - its ok. I havent seen Thor, Cap America or Iron Man. But it was nice to see a decent Hulk Movie and Man Of Steel - Pretty, almost good but very schizophrenic. Shifts its tones so much. Pretty much the reason I am worried about Justice League Movie.
On that day, John received a grim reminder, to never buy a game practically blind...
Seriously, I haven't followed the Titanfall hype train. I did not know it was an online only experience essentially. There is no offline modes... (unless they are hidden) I tried 3 times to do a campaign, didn't work so did a multiplayer and it is ok, I guess.

PEER PRESSURE. STRANGER DANGER. CLUNK CLICK EVERY TRIP.
Lol, I did it. I do have no limit broadband but its not the fastest. Country boy lol.
My issue with the controller was that the sticks felt a bit loose and the bumper buttons felt a bit off. Something to do with the positioning. Its still nicer than the PS3/4 controllers.
Ended up getting the "Titanfall Mega Pack" from Game Titanfall bundle, 2 years of Gold and the Titanfall controller. Also I bought the Season Pass and 2 years insurance. It was a good chunk of money.
I'm not regretting it. I mean I havent downloaded Titanfall yet but I just had a go on freebie Killer Instinct. Theres some things that are a bit dodgy though (downloading Blu Ray movie player etc). Menus dont feel as good as 360.
But I do love that Kinect has a feature that is an improvement - Scanning QR(?) codes.
And it fits where the 360 was nicely. I dont know how either. Its not even hanging over the edge of the chest of drawers.
What was weird, I was in pure agony walking around with the Xbone in town. Heavy box. The actual console is really surprisingly light.
Anyway. Its solid. I've got my Halo, Gears and Forza machine.

So Xbox One. I nearly bought one today. Amazingly 3 people I actually play online with own one. So Peer Pressure is creeping up.
Dont get me wrong. I know that- Controller feels a bit off. Forza 5 xp system is borked and all games have a trend towards the evils of microtransactions. Its the "PS3" in terms of multiformat titles. I have no room for Kinect. Patches are hueg. HUEG. Its not backwards compatible. Kinect. It has Useless TV things. I dont think I have enough room for it.
BUT
Titanfall, Killer Instinct and Forza 5 do look good. And my friends are playing it right now.

I think the 3DS version beat me up too much, I cant even be bothered with the Wii U version.

yeah, I mean for all of the talk about the redesign it really isnt a massive change in design. We are talking blue arms and bandage tape. And messy unkempt hair.
With the exception of Knuckles, but even then you could say "That is Knuckles's head on Storm's body."
That Rouge firstly even Sonic Team would be like nope, secondly wings on the arms? not gonna happen.
Anyway. Sonic Bewm.

(Also, tumblr learned that way back when, Penders paraphrased the famous "First, they came for the [group] and I did not speak up because I was not..." poem for a Knuckles comic but he changed the Communists, homosexuals, Jews etc into furries - "they came for the hedgehogs" is "came for the Jews" - and it's about Robotnik's takeover. Yeah.) What a [censored]. I mean a double [censored]. But then again [censored]s tend to be useful. [censored].

Apparently the cartoon wont have an overarching story. So its mostly played for laughs.
So yeah, I was reading up on Big Red Button. Mostly made up of ex - Naughty Dog and Insomniac employers and One Chris "I tried to make Sonic Xtreme but I got [censored]ing ill" Senn.
The ironing. It is delicious.

You think Sonic Team games won't ever be released here again? I thought Sonic wasn't popular in Japan, so why do that? :s My guess is - 2015 - Sonic Boom. 2016 - Sonic Team's Sonic game. 2017 - Sonic Boom Universe game. and so on.

I think the strangest thing about that is the use of S3&K sprites, but with a new thumbs up animation added. Pretty sure that the thumbs up was in the Sonic 3K ending

This. This needs to be made canon. From Archie artist WB and it was along the top of a recent Sonic special. Possible hints as to who will Archie use now that Penders seems to have his toys back. Sauce

so there is a thing that has a level that looks like an old mario game starring cuddly velociraptor. it appears to be based on flickies island but in 2d. also there is a hint that there will be a level based on zelda.
Shame there isn't a thing that makes it play like a Sonic game lololololololol. ahhhhh. Or even teh Metroids.

Its running from Taxman's Retro Engine, like Sonic CD and the Sonic 1 iOS update/remastering.
