Downloading an update for a game, 18gb. Estimated time left, 34 hours. I hate living in the countryside where the least terrible option is still a steaming pile of crap.

Congrats Gerry! Remember no combined Christmas and birthday presents. As a near Christmas birthday child, it's not fun

I'm off to Galway tomorrow, I'm sorely tempted to be cheeky and ask can I bring my PS4 with me :pac:

Congrats gerry!


For Playstation download speeds, I'm kinda dreading having to redownload games for the PS3 and downloading games for my new PS4 when I swap their drives. Will have to get an ethernet cable splitter so can use that. E fibre so won't take long. With wireless it takes a long time.
Suppose could leave it overnight for a few days

This is the main thing that has prevented me From swapping out my hard drives! Good thing about the ps4 is it'll continue downloading in standby.

On the Luas now, headed for the hospital... New arrival ETA 11am!

Delighted for you Gerry my man. Can't wait til little RPB is old enough to understand that daddy was voted funniest man on the site in 2015, the year of his birth.

This could be dangerous...

Lord TSC

Star Wars Bundle (including Force Unleashed 1 & 2 and KOTOR 1 & 2)
Dead Island Bundle
Saints Row 4 GOTY
Boarderlands 2 GOTY
Political Machine 2016
Back to the Future Telltale game
State of Decay Year One Edition

29 games for €65, same as a single Xbox game. Should keep me going for a while, even if a lot of them are **** Star Wars games :P |Still a few I'm tempted by as well.

A Brad Maddox Guy

I've never played KOTOR but I know people loved them, is this just a nostalgia factor or do they stand up to time? I'm tempted by those, Empire at War & Force Unleashed II. I got Battlefront II a couple months ago and still think it's a ridiculous amount of fun.

So was that any of you guys that I saw in Waterford wearing a Brock Lesnar t-shirt during the week? I always enjoy acknowledging other people wearing shirts of wrestlers out and about.
