    Met with a consultant yesterday who plans on taking my tonsils out. Have to speak with him next week to sort a date that works around his slots and my work schedule. I'm thinking arriving home to recover just around September 8th would be good. Couch, jelly and ice cream, job!! :D

    If you swap the order of those quotes it paints a wonderful story that makes perfect sense

    I have a sneaking suspicion they do it just to update their terms and conditions.
    Here's an update, you must agree to our terms and conditions to continue playing destiny and then they slip in something in the t&cs like "All your money goes to Sony when you die"

    Just finished tales from the borderlands and have a borderlands type itch now. Is it worth getting The Handsome Jack collection at this stage? Is anyone still playing it and is it any good as mostly single player game?

    Yes go and buy it, great fun on your first play Solo. There will be 3 play throughs total for you to complete the game so once you get through the first one we can all jump on for a few co-op sittings. Will i add you into the chat?

    I'd argue 2 playthroughs would be sufficient tbh, but yeah, 2.5 -> 3 if you wanted to 100% it and do every single mission and get trophies etc

    It's easily in my top 20 games of all time, maybe even Top 10. But a lot of that has to do with the company you keep.

    I had like 3 (maybe 4?) playthroughs up to level 50 (ish)
    One with Conovar and n0Cal and Jonny
    Another with Totz and Solvable and Dudeeile (?)
    And another with my Fiancee and Gimli and Dudeeile (?)

    You can easily solo the 1st playthrough in a few sittings Solo (caps out at ~lvl30), so even if you didn't want to give the New Game Plus mode a go, you'd get your moneys worth.

    If you did get to like lvl15 or lvl30 or whatever and wanted to group up, I'd be game for it. Basically set up a session once a week (or 10 days) and have the group log on. It's the ideal game to play if you're burned out on Destiny imho. And can be a lot of fun and is very forgiving (except for a few optional end-game bosses)

    Many of us have like 6 characters and they could be levels 12, 18, 29, etc etc so once we're all around the same, we can hop in and hop out. Fwiw, you hit level ~16 in like ~6 hours iirc. There's 21 of us in the chat (including some randoms, might "refresh" the chat actually if people are gonna start using it again), and it's only been dead really cause of people playing other games. Doesn't take much to get a 4player co-op session going again

    Just don't get Power Levelled on your 1st playthrough, totally ruins the fun of the game the 1st time imho.

    Given the price of the Handsome Collection, how good the game is and how much content is in the bundle, you'd be stupid not to buy it.

    I'll set up a new BL2 chat. If people want to be added to it, they know where to find us. I'll post a screenshot of my characters later.

    Actually, Nev, don't buy it yet. I may have 2 copies and I'll PM you

    It's still 59.99 on the PS Store. It was cheaper than that last year wasn't it?

    €15.99 in Argos atm which is great value

    My app is cooperating well these days. Used be the case I'd open it to read new messages and be brought back to my last post in the chat, and have to scroll to the most recent.

    Finally got my Dualshock 4 working with my PC last night.
    Had been trying with a combination of that and my X-Box 360 controllers for a few days to no success.
    Only realised last night I'd never plugged the PS4 out, so everytime I'd been trying to connect the DS4 to the PC it was powering on and connecting to the PS4 downstairs :o
    And I'd even drove a good 30km and paid €10 for one of those yokes that lets your X-box 360 Wireless controllers connect wirelessly to the PC (which was a heap of rubbish and didn't work anyway)
    God help me I do some stupid sh!t

    Got me some new Kontrol Freeks though (the Purple Galaxy ones) which is nice as my Black Ops3 ones were all worn away.

    360 pad on the PC is brilliant in fairness. I have a wired one I use the whole time. Also for your DS4 I started by wiring mine to PC and it was a mess but I'll set it up again soon enough.

    I would stick with the official one tbh for the 360 pad man. Never had an issue with that before. Also if you have a play and charge kit I think that works the controller as wired.

    I normally always would get the official yoke, but I saw this yoke on Adverts nearby and rolled a dice on it and failed

    Nope, it simply provides power the signal of the controller is still sent over wirelessly
