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

Defo will pick this up when I get a PS5 (probably in a year or two), been playing Jak and Daxter plus Psychonauts (can't wait for the upcoming sequel!) on my PS4 so this is well up my street.

Jak and Daxter. I love those games .

Not played Pyschonauts. Worth it?

@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?

I mainly play handheld and the games it plays are great, lots of quality games on it too, pretty much every genre well covered. Hoping for some big announcements on Tuesday at the Nintendo direct!

@matt-wood oh you tease

[Dan MacKinnon]

@matt-wood apparently Buffon is close to signing for Parma again

[Matt Wood]

@ryan Oh yea I forgot he played there too.

You could return them to former glory days...

[Ryan]

@matt-wood amazing team, crespo as well!

I don’t dare even talk about it ahahah

[Matt Wood]

@ryan Dont give me ideas lol

I remember the days years ago when Parma had Buffon, Canavaro and Thuram, great team back then.

[Ryan]

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

@ryan Hahah it is a time sink for sure!

[Ryan]

@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.

@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.

Mario looks good

@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
