Played Sleeping Dogs a lot yesterday and this morning, really enjoying it. Some of the fights are a bit intense though, I could feel my the veins in my wrist tensing up a bit a few times from having to mash the buttons so much

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
MK8 and 3D Land are probably the best 2 games there to be fair. Wii U goes for quality > quantity, i'm ok with that.
I found a boo-boo
Next on my "It's about time i played this" list on Steam is DE:HR. Bloody hell, this guys voice would almost put me off the game if it wasn't as enjoyable as it is.
It is a really good game. The first boss fight is ridiculous, though.
Yeah, that was dumb. I didn't even fight him.
The main character, Jensen? His voice is velvety smooth.
What's Kameo like?
A mate of mine must replay this every year. It's one of very few non Nintendo games that he's ever really taken to.
He sounds like a stand-up guy.
Well I just bought it, figured it was cheap enough to see for myself, so that'll be another game I'll have to play sometime.
Random but does anyone here play Quake Live?
I used to play at quite a high level and was thinking about getting back into it.

My Razer Edge Pro arrived today 
Just finished a a popular indy game called "Gone Home" it's a few years old but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Took around 90 mins to finish and got it off steam for a couple of quid. Highly recommended!
Anyone played Child Of Light? That is one pretty game.
Sleeping Dogs is so good, I love the city. Are there any other sandbox-ey games set in Japan/Hong Kong/China?
What about Yakuza? They're not really the same kind of games are they?

Not really the same, no. Still good, though. Yakuza 3 is a good starting point.
I'll try it (and maybe the others) at some point, it looks quite cool from the little I've seen. It'll have to wait though as I don't currently have a working PS3 controller.
Eh?
My PS3 controller is broken, so I'll have to wait before getting Yakuza 3.
Olly, you strike me as a well adjusted, talented gif maker. And yet I get the impression from your posts that you don't have two pennies to rub together. What gives?
FFS, I read that twice and both times read that as "two penises to rub together". I was sure I'd gone completely mental.
But yes you are correct I don't have any money at the moment. I've started some work though but have to wait until the beginning of September before I get paid. All the games I;ve bought recently have been with Amazon vouchers.

PM me your address and I'll send you a f*cking dualshock 3. This is unacceptable.
I did have an adapter to use my PS2 controller on my PC that I found out also worked on the PS3, but that stopped working a couple of months ago for some reason.
Ppppppppppppppffffffffffftttttttttttttttt. Address.
I've decided not to go out on the pop tonight and enjoy a video game night instead.
I need some help in choosing what to play though. This list mainly contains games that I've bought on Steam but there are a couple thrown in that I have played before but happy to play again depending on your recommendations...
Alan Wake
Arkham City
Dead Space 1&2
Dishonored
Dragon Age
Morrowind
Oblivion
Skyrim
Fallout 3
Hotline Miami
Kingdoms of Amalur
Mirrors Edge
System Shock 2
Tomb Raider
The Witcher 2
X Com Enemy Unknown
Lost Odyssey.
I'll start playing at about 10 so get recommendations in before then!

Alan Wake. The other quality games in that list require a lot of time.
Anyone use flash carts for older systems? I've been using Everdrive carts recently for Gameboy and NES. They are quite pricey, around about £60 each but have been definitely worth the money. I went off emulation due to lag and frame rate irritations, but these carts play identical to the original cartridges and on the original hardware.
If you just want to play and aren't concerned with the collecting side of things then they save a lot of time scouring Ebay for beaten up old games.

I'm committed to a game once I start, I always just have trouble deciding which one!
Got all day tomorrow and most nights this week
Mirror's Edge.
It's very appreciated Lance Vance, but I feel a bit awkward receiving offers from people TBH, usually because I'm not sure if they're being serious or not
Alan Wake. The only other game there I've played enough to talk about is Mirror's Edge and while it's good I'd recommend Alan Wake more. Especially for playing at night
I am serious.
Alan Wake it is then
It has a fantastic atmosphere. Cauldron Lake. Great name.
Well, if you're sure that you're serious that's very kind. Still feel a bit awkward though
Good choice.
Alan Wake is excellent, one of my very favourite games of the last gen, and I don't give praise lightly.
However you did list Morrowind and System Shock 2, which are games that are way above even that.
And @Lance Uppercut you are a good man.
Why is @Lance Uppercut banned?
Thats a very generous offer @Olly, you should take him up on it. Its probably unlikely he will also murder you
How have you been playing sleeping dogs without a controller, or do you have an Xbox / capable PC?
If you like game an Asian backdrop, how about the New Deus Ex. I think there are a couple of Asian places that game goes to

Sleeping Dogs is actually getting a PS4/Xbox remaster. Didn't think it was popular enough or sold enough to warrant that but if they throw in all the DLC with it, I might get it.
Yep, it's very generous of him for sure
I have a 360, so got Sleeping Dogs on that. Don't know anything about Deus Ex, I'll check it out. I guess you mean Human Revolution?
