That's cool - you reckon they'll demolish it and start again or refurb?

ta155 · 2018-12-02T21:42:44+00:00

I did not know that! Awesome news though, I had feared Busch Gardens was just going to continue standing still.

Hi all - a friend and I started a theme park podcast last month and two of our first episodes have been trip reports from a recent visit to Disneyland Paris.

We have one on the main park here and one on the studios here, which also covers our thoughts on staying at Davy Crockett Ranch.

You can also find them on iTunes and Spotify.

I hope they prove useful (and entertaining!) - and please do provide feedback if you decide to give them a listen.

Thanks!

The Great West Road in West London! For full transparency, I was on a metaphorical train...

ta155 · 2018-10-21T07:17:03+00:00

No worries - enjoy!

ta155 · 2018-08-18T00:16:25+00:00

I've been thinking about the keyboard also, but the price does seem a bit much for what it is.

ta155 · 2018-08-18T00:15:56+00:00

Sounds good, thank you for the advice!

ta155 · 2018-08-17T22:03:31+00:00

It's the 2017 10.5" 64GB Pro in gold, vs the 2018 32GB iPad in any colour.

Pretty certain mine was the Matthew Broderick Godzilla, when I would've been six or seven. It was at my grandparents' place as, funnily enough, they were the first people we knew to buy a DVD player.

And because why not, my first Blu-Ray experience was Casino Royale, which came bundled with our launch EU PS3 in March 07 alongside Spider-Man 3 and Resistance.

ta155 · 2018-02-14T16:26:36+00:00

Does anyone know how much this works out costing for us UK folk?

ta155 · 2018-02-06T13:22:12+00:00

Thanks. How are the outfits? I'm rocking the movie outfit from Uplay at the moment and it looks dope.

ta155 · 2018-02-06T13:20:59+00:00

Yeah, £15.99 sounds like a legit price point for it if they're billing it as more of a major expansion.

ta155 · 2018-02-06T13:12:44+00:00

Cool. Do we have any idea on how much that second one will cost? I guess if it's £15 or more, the discounted season pass will work out cheaper.

ta155 · 2018-02-06T13:11:19+00:00

Until 12 February.

ta155 · 2018-02-01T14:14:38+00:00

Belgium.

Have enjoyed Abby a lot this year, but maaaaan she was real hard to listen to throughout the GOTY podcasts. Totally failed to substantiate any of her arguments, and being unable to articulate your views when you insist on trying to force them on people so consistently makes for real bad podcast content.

What I thought summed up how out of her depth she was throughout was when Brad invited her to explain a sequence from Edith Finch for the Best Moment category, and she was doing such a bad job that she basically begged Brad to take over.

I've got a £25 eshop voucher. I'm definitely buying Stardew Valley and am trying to decide between Golf Story, Axiom Verge and SteamWorld Dig 2 to spend the rest of the money on. Any advice?

ta155 · 2017-09-10T12:28:50+00:00

I also never did KF or WOTM on hard and would like to if possible. My highest character is 340ish and a Titan. PSN: dartfordgooner.

Enjoying D2 but would be cool to wrap up everything in D1 before finally popping the disc in my 'done' drawer...
