Hang on, how the fuck can he play video games if he's partially sighted..?

Unless he's like that girl in the States that has to use the GamePad hunched over it with her bloomin great big milk bottle glasses half an inch away from the screen..?

Lol, don't ask me, I barely know the guy, his ramblings on Facebook do amuse me though.  To be fair, if I had a 3ds, I'd probably get that game, can't beat a good turn based RPG

"tons" is an exaggeration, Kieran.

And it should be tonnes, shouldn't it..?

Halo : Spartan Assault (top-down, dual-stick shooter) releasing on Xbox One / Xbox 360 on Christmas eve.. lovely jubbly, give me something to play over the xmas period.. if I get chance that is, going to a be a busy one this year!

I still haven't lost it. Found a Class A in Rocksmith 2014, quitting the game by pressing ESC to quit the profile your using and pressing ESC again to go back to the Windows desktop either deletes or corrupts a file called inputmap.xml and stops the game launching again until you get Steam to check the files and replace it lol

They added that quitting option in the last update I think and it's ridiculously broken lol.

Have downloaded some custom DLC, a few Lizzy songs and a few Floyd songs, and there's already over 400 custom songs to choose from.

My Mum and step-father came up to see me today to give me and Georgie Porgie our Christmas pressies. Gave Georgie Porgie hers already cos she could smell the catnip and wouldn't leave the bag alone, was doing my head in so she got hers early lol

Not sure what I've got, I was only expecting 2 games but my Mum has been sneaky and got me 3. One of them is Super Mario 3D World cos that was what I definitely wanted and she was going to surprise me with another one. I reckon she might have got me Deus Ex as a Brucie Bonus cos that's as cheap as chips.

Am very tempted to open it and find out lol

It's a great game, Deus Ex HR - and the "director's cut" version is supposed to be better still.
I had it at number three in my list of best games of the generation on another site recently.
 Surprisingly I had two Wii games in the top five, too.
1   Portal (Orange Box)
2   Bioshock
3   Deus Ex: Human Revolution
4   Wii Sports
5   World of Goo
6   Crackdown
7   Assassin's Creed 2
8   Skyrim
9   Dishonored
10   Splosion Man

Wii games?!?! I have to admit, SMG was a wonderful game. Shame I never got to play the second one.

My top 10 would be something like:

1) Red Dead Redemption
2) The Last of Us
3) GTA V
4) Skyrim
5) XCOM: Enemy Unknown
6) COD 4
7) The Walking Dead (Telltale)
8) Assassin's Creed 2
9) Oblivion
10) L.A. Noire

Although I haven't really put that much thought into it, so there are probably one or two glaring omissions.

World Of Goo was awesome, might have to play that again now I'm thinking about it. Little Inferno, done by the same developers, is also brilliant. I transferred World Of Goo over from my Wii to my Wii U a few months ago so it's all ready to go.

Bought it on Wii, pc , Xbox 360, and android - so it's definitely doing something right!

[harv]

Most of the development, on the first two versions for the PC and Wii at least, was done by two people. Pretty impressive.

They've also done Little Inferno which is awesome. On paper it really shouldn't work lol. You've got a bloomin great big furnace and a box of matches. So you burn the leaflet that came with it and you get money for doing it. So you order stuff from a catalogue and burn it and get more cash. There are also puzzles in the form of combos, burn the right combination of stuff and you unlock stuff like extra catalogues to order from.

It doesn't sound great but once you start playing it's very difficult to put down lol.

I'm REALLY doing my best to be good and not open my Christmas pressie from my Mum early. Wonder if I'm going to be able to manage it..?

[harv]

Well I managed to be good

My Mum got me Super Mario 3D World, Batman Arkham Origins and Sonic Lost World. Lovely jubbly!

Played a bit of Super Mario 3D World and it's fucking gorgeous! I can see why one of the reviews said that after playing this game he thought that after seeing this he thought everyone else had been doing HD wrong lol
