@matt-wood yes it has that potential, even more so now Parma are relegated I had a few epic saves with them.

I’m getting Ratchet and Clank for Father’s Day next week. I was asked what else I wanted. Apparently “For you lot to go out and leave me alone all day so I can play it” isn’t an option

Matt Wood

@ryan Hahah it is a time sink for sure!

@matt-wood I don’t allow myself to play football manager lol it would ruin my life.

I have been tempted to get the touch version a few times.

Matt Wood

@martin Mario looks good. Im not a big game player, Football manager and civ 6 about it for me. I do like the look of a few of the games on the Nintendo Switch though, worth getting one?

Matt Wood

@dan-mackinnon Agreed, I listened to his episodes on the Khans and they were hours and hours long altogether...totally flew by without me noticing at all how long I had been listening.

@matt-wood Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History is probably my favourite all time podcast. I love history but I think his storytelling is what makes them really special.

E3 the big gaming convention is on at the moment, not much new stuff announced yet but two games that have my attention so far:

Matt Wood

For those that like their history, this Youtube channel has some great stuff on it.

Also can recommend Dan Carlins 'Hardcore History' podcast, not all free on there but enough is.

@daniel-mills Thanks Daniel, Akira is a fantastic film and was my first ever dip into that world.

@matt-wood Akira is well worth a watch if you liked ghost in the shell and want to dip into anime

@john-folan I liked Alita thought it was decent!!

Just watched Ghost in the Shell. Hollywood version. Thought its was ok, not Scarlet's best performance.

Not a huge fan of Manga but like some. For those who might know, how close was the film to the original version? I liked the story and concepts in the film so might venture into the world of manga for it.

Try Alita Battle Angel. Ghost in the Shell the film is not as good as the graphic novel by a long chalk.

@ryan Plot holes galore, annoying leading lady character. Entertaining and Batista! Its ok, nothing special but not the worst.

Ending is shite as well, don't forget that.

Surely he will do the right thing haha!

Richard Latimer

@ryan Yes and no. Way too long for a brainless action vehicle but some decent set pieces.

Ryan

Hmmm it might not make it to the stop what I am doing and watch list then!
