Deus Ex is one of the best games i've ever played, great stroy and hugely immersive world....bear in mind it must be almost 15 years old at this stage tho!

I'm of the same mind, I suppose some poeple might be used to next gen graphics and find it hard to get into!

That's why games that don't rely on graphics edge better. Recently replayed earthworm Jim and it's edged well

Worms don't have any edges.

Has anyone seen those #neknominations that have gone viral recently? They are flooding my facebook with unfunny macho lads attempting comedy. I can't take any more cringe

It reminds me of Geordie Shore or something. Sooner it disappears the better.

A big congratulations go out tonight to Kris Meeke who finished 3rd in the Monte Carlo round of the world rally championship.

Kris lived a couple of miles from me back home and was a few years younger than me at school. Proud to say i know him, his dad and brother well. Unfortunately his mum passed away a good few years ago but whatever you believe or don't believe in, i'm sure she is/would be very proud of him tonight!!

Timing of this shot is utterly amazing. It really makes you appreciate how much amateur players put themselves through.

Shouldn't have put his head there. #welshrugby

Worst penalty shootout I've ever seen there in the United game.

4 off target and 2 piss poor ones. Never mind professionals getting paid 80/90 grand a week - if someone playing football with me for a laugh put a penalty over the fudging bar they'd get terrible abuse for it.

Unreal.

Surely that must be as part of some protest/dispute because I really can't picture anyone being that incompetent.

Apparently not - contractors working on a room above it didn't realise there was a gap in the floor.

Back in the day I'd watch 7s but the tournaments have become a dime a dozen and the interest has waned. If I was having a yarn with some mates over a few beers and it was on in the background i wouldn't object but I wouldn't set my alarm clock for it.

So a long answer to say no I'm not.

Ugo Monye spacecraft experience

This day last week I was off from work so went to the gym during the day. Did a leg session and following my deadlifts I started feeling sick. Ended up leaving and puking at home. Thought it was the weights but since then I've had a high fever, nausea, and as of Friday, confirmed tonsillitis

I've been on the antibiotics since Saturday and they've yet to kick in. I've lost about a stone due to having no appetite and I've been forced to work sick since Thursday

It's gotten to the stage where I'm just angry at my bad luck! I was collapsed on the couch last night, fever running high and unable to find the remote. Dancing on Ice was stuck on the television and I couldn't switch it so I just found myself shouting at the television!

Ireland game to look forward to next Sunday at least, decent tickets too

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. The best thing for you to do is to stay in bed for at least two weeks.

Now, about those tickets.

Found out yesterday that I managed to get tickets to all 3 games so happy out!

I've never actually been to a 6N game (generally for financial reasons) but I'm going to the game in Paris this year. Can't wait.

Last one I was at was the Wales game at Croke Park in 2010. Was standing up the very back of the hill for it.

Might tip along myself to a game or 2 this year. Wife works in IT and seems to have contacts galore....taking a group of lads to the scotland game with pints and grub before it. She wants me to stay at home and look after kids - good luck with that. I'll be tagging along as a "special advisor" (she's incredibly good looking so i've to make sure no one tries it on with her!!)....anyone want to look after 3 kids this weekend?

I was always waiting for that moment to ask "How would you know, Howard Juneau?", and now it's a missed opportunity

I expect both will reappear, not that I have any experience in this area.
