    I liked the first Metro, got it free via Facebook. The developers I think just gave away a load of free keys.

    Well I have an Xbox 360 but it's more of a dust collector then a gaming console. :D The last game I purchased was Red Dead Redemption a couple years ago.

    That was 3 years ago :eek: Will you be getting gta 5 or watch dogs :D?

    It does indeed,I'd say it could give GTA 5 a good run for it's money.

    I had never heard of Watch Dogs, thanks for that. It certainly looks promising, the storyline and open world design is right up my street. I'll look to get it on PC in November.

    Has anyone else checked out the tv series Hannibal?

    I had been hearing some good things and just started watching it. 3 episodes in and it's amazing! Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen are both excellent in their respective roles. Seriously good so far!

    So, watched a marathon of it yesterday and today, 8 episodes in currently and I'm pretty impressed :D

    definitely a good show and I'll be very happy to see where it goes

    Do we have many gamers here?

    Occasional gamer here. I either get obsessed with a game or hate it.

    For example I have a game of Football Manager that I have spent over a calendar year on, gametime well into the weeks now (I'm in the 2040 decade). I love Metal Gear Solid also.

    Haven't got a new game in ages actually. When is GTA5 out?

    It's annoying it got moved back so much, which seems to be fairly common these days with higher profile games.

    better than what they used to do imo, which was release the game then issue a patch update to fix the bugs that should have been fixed pre-release (so essentially using the initial purchasers as unpaid beta testers)

    Taking Road Tax and Insurance into consideration, not to mention the fact that Beamer's guzzle petrol like nobody's business, how much do you reckon that bad boy set you back annually, Max?

    Insurance c700
    She's daysul so gets 25-30mpg around the sticks and 35-40 on a motorway. I do about 15k kilometers a year so not so much.

    Feck it ya only live once (much as I hate the YOLO expression, it is apt here!)

    Wanna play a game some time? I was playing it today with some friends, trying out the psycho class :D I've got a Gunzerker around level 50-51, a Commando around 30, and a few others between 8-18.

    And those sales, they are a nightmare!

    Ah, Zer0. He's pretty cool, and depending on the skill tree he can be a beast in either long range or melee.
