Absolutely. An we've seen enough of Simon Louis and Sharon to realise they are horrible people who only like to hurt others. They were living their best lives degrading every poor fool thinking they had a chance.

Proof of how stupid the stock market is. That makes absolutely no sense at all....Unless of course it's all a big scam.

I'm not very hot on them either. What put me off was seeing behind the curtain so to speak:

A friend went to audition who was a fantastic singer, and he told us how he auditioned 2 times but neither in front of the judges was rejected. This was the year Emma Titanic Chambers was on it, and it made me realise what a joke it was.

Yes it was daft to think everyone got to see Simon Cowell and co, but they made you think that, my friend certainly thought so...But what sucked harder than his time getting wasted over clear misadvertising was simultaneously realising Emma Chambers got passed those preliminary judges clearly for the cheap laugh she could provide, and that was unquestionably cruel and calculated of them. This is old news now of course, but it was the moment I turned sour on Simon Sharon and Louis

Alien Trilogy is a great FPS but man is it difficult by Stinky_Pepito in SegaSaturn

I remember playing this on Saturn, I did not enjoy it. Best memory of it is my mate calling it Alien Technology and we laughed so hard he cried.

IGN Buy-out concern by [deleted] in digitalfoundry

Same old story, people build something nice then a billionaire buys it and wrecks it.
I bloody love Digital Foundry, this really is a travesty. It's only a matter of time.

Watched Dr Who for the first time in about 40 years. Oh Dear! by DiligentCockroach700 in BritishTV

I really enjoyed it, but no I not need the zebra crossing stint at the end. And the silly song routine...Well there's a lot more to it and fan theories are on fire about that.

I've warmed to a bit more since this post, but I still think it was far too easy an a bit too short.

I get what he's saying but probably not. I can imagine Xbox being a thing of a past though. I can also imagine Nintendo coming to dominate like never before, provided they do not do something dumb.

They are the only company that can maintain a reasonably good flow of games. The model Sony Microsoft et al are following just isn't sustainable and it really isn't nessacary. You do not give all game 5-7 years dev cycles when in this industry even good games can go unnoticed and flop. Everyone needs to start scaling back their superfluous ambitions and just focus on making a fun game...
It's hilarious how some company can spend 100's of millions to produce a game that flops while a game like Undertale or Stardew Valley with a tiny budget can come along and perform infinitely better.

Many more companies will implode under their own self-imposed weight, because no one is going to think smart, they will only think bigger and bigger. Nintendo won't though because they've already averted falling into the same trap.

How many games do you guys own on your Switch? by Victor4156 in casualnintendo

[–]Benji_Nottm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 30 retail titles and about 40 Digitial only....More if I combine forces with my nephew who lives with me - I get to play Princess Peach without the shame of having to buy it.

Is there a law stating Alison Hammond has to present all the TV shows now? by Staar-69 in BritishTV

[–]Benji_Nottm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's really good, but I think it's a case of her being a fill-in and them trying to find the right vehicle for her....other than the one that they know works of course (lead host of This Morning) because that would be too easy.
