I've tried that game so many times now and can't get anywhere on it. Its a shame because the artstyle is terrific. I'll give it another crack soon.

Should i start with Bloodborne? As you may know from reading this thread these are my favourite series of games, so I may be a 'tad' biased but they are all superb. Saying that I would personally start with the DS1 Remaster - It's a slower game combat wise and does a good job of teaching the Soulsborne 'don't rush in, take your time' philosophy which will put you in good stead for the other games in the series. Bloodborne's combat is much quicker and I've known some people have been put off by just how vicious and unforgiving it can seem to a Soulsborne virgin. Also i don't like games that are too hard, and i hear this game is really hard. These games are very hard, and very challenging - but (and this is something that has been said a million times) they are fair. It's very rare that you will die from anything other that your own impatience or lack of experience of a new area/enemy. Put it this way, I don't consider myself a great gamer by any means and my reflexes are nowhere near as great as they used to be, but I've now Platinumed 4 Soulsborne games so that should show that they aren't just for the gaming leet. Can you lower the difficulty either in-game whilst playing or at the start for an easier playthrough? There are no difficulty settings. Hope that helps a bit.

Bucket Man beats Spade Face.

I've been meaning to mention this for a while, but I love you @Davkaus

**** brilliant!

The first one is great (haven't played the second) and I'll be picking up the ps5 version on day one. Very much in the Soulsborne vein.

It finished 1-1 by the way Rod.

Caligula was a belter. Look forward to this one.

Really sorry to hear that Dave.

Bond is shit.

Aye its a belter. Strong start to the year from an album pov.

I still maintain that Dear Lucifer is one of the greatest Doom anthems of all time.

"You mean, you crap out of the window?!" - Great episode

Had a playthrough of DS3 again as I wanted to see what it looked like on the PS5 (looks great). Such a superb game and Archdragon Peak remains one of my favourite areas in any of the Soulsborne games.

It would be something in the Jazz genre for me - definitely the one 'main' genre that I've never really got. I honestly couldn't name too many Jazz classics off the top of my head. Maybe Minnie the Moocher by Cab Calloway? I listened to some Miles Davis once and that was decent but not the sort of thing I could listen to for long.

The best couple of things in Thor Dark World is Kat Dennings.

Nah, I think @sne posted this in the song thread and I posted the album in the...well album thread Two great collaborations for Amy lately. This one and the one she did with Sleaford Mods.

Decent start to the year so far...

Baxter Dury (son of Ian) - The Night Chancers

Get well soon Den.

That's a bold statement.

Finished this yesterday. Not too shabby at all. Solid RPG, with decent combat and some fun puzzles all wrapped up in Greek mythology. Not in the same league as BOTW, but then again not much is. 7/10
