    Watched the Inbetweeners 2 at the weekend, was actually quite funny, was expecting a let down but it was decent :)

    How many of ye are getting The Division?

    I'm really tempted to get it, haven't heard any reviews of it yet though.

    Ya gimli, was just wondering how many of the Destiny Crew had the game.

    At least if there's a few getting it, then there'll be the chance of a fire team going.

    Mentioned this in party chat earlier, and was met by silence so all I can say is shame on you guys, but Day of the Tentacle Remastered hits PC, PS4 and Vita on March 22 for 15 quid.

    If you preorder it on Playstation you also get a PS4 theme.

    If you've never played it, it's a classic. We'll worth picking up IMHO. It's along the same vein as the Monkey Island games, point and click puzzle adventure.

    It plays identically to Monkey Island and is another Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert masterpiece. Hope they don't remove the ability to play it's prequel Maniac Mansion from the remaster.

    Played the division for a bit last night in a fireteam of 4.
    It was enjoyable - will definitely play on and concentrate on the co-op element. The way the gameplay is and the character third person view and movement, I find I am not taking in the environment as much as I would like to. I do not feel like I am in NYC in the way that you feel like you are in LA when playing GTA 5.

    My fireteam members had all played the beta so there is not much new to them yet. Definitely more fun in co-op. On the in game map you can see where any online friends are - so it is easy to join their session if they are doing a mission that you want to do. You can re-do missions for the random world drops, but you do not get the mission rewards again.

    JCD has set up a PS4 group chat so if anyone wants in then let him or me know (via PSN messaging would be best) .

    I'd say a lead balloon would have had more buoyancy than the reception that bit of news got.

    Cheers Solvable -

    I loved that game as a kid, never finished it though so may have to revisit it... :)

    Any Destiny heads playing SFV?

    Hit me up for some casual fighting action :

    I'd wish they would just remaster Curse of Monkey Island since they did the first 2 games and Grim Fandango..... I haven't played Day of the Tentacle, but I really preferred Curse to Grim Fandango. The puzzles in Grim Fandango seem far more ridiculous

    As it is, I get about an hour a night to play Destiny.
    I have Fallout 4, which I'm playing through also.
    I've just ordered Bloodborne.
    I'm thinking of ordering The Division.

    Basically I need a time out from family life so I can concentrate on my gaming :pac:

    It's not cheating if it's in a different area code...

    Finished Grim Fandango, wasn't a patch on Monkey Island, obviously people were just wow'd by the graphics back in the day. There is a so much stuff in the story itself that doesn't even makes sense (never mind the puzzles), was kind of "meh" with it comparing it to other Tim Shcaffer stuff

    Cormac did you try Ori and The Blind Forest on Xbox yet? Great little indie game.
