The new Gran Turismo game, GT Sport, will have you take part in race etiquette lessons and watch videos on the proper way to conduct your self on the track and podium. But if you do all that and complete the training you can unlock a real life racing license to take to race tracks and race in real life. I shit you not. So like F1 realism but you get a IRL reward for all the boring real life stuff they stuck in a game.

Do you work with Ricky from TPB?

See if I had less game time, I'd want to make sure I'd enjoy it and not be raging at it. How people manage no save S ranks on Metal Gear I've no idea. I ragequit too often. Not online though. Never ragequit online. Playing Rocket League, and the amount of people who will quit if they don't win is stupid. Normally goes: we lose, by a goal or two. They agree to a rematch. We go up by a goal or two then win by forfeit. Takes all the fun out of winning if the other people just drop out. I take my losses like a man. Got beat 7-1 the other day. Stayed to the end. But only online. I got killed in No Mans Sky so I quit then used an old save.

I normally do my first playthrough on medium. So I know it's not going to be a cakewalk but also I'm not going to get stuck on a bit near the end forever and not find out how the game ends. Going back to old games after new ones is difficult. Especially MGS with the shitty camera and controls on MGS1. Used a walk through on easy for the MSX games. Fuck that. Same with Uncharted 4. The controls worked so well. I was fucked on the first 3 when I couldn't hide in tall grass and do easy take downs.

I really enjoyed Metal Gear Solid V. The cutscenes aren't as long winded, no codec calls. Just all the action. Some pretty somber moments sandwiched in between Kojima ogling women's boobs. Then there's stuff like The Witcher and GTA V. would recommend both of them. Any reason why? Aye so I just looked back and realised I didn't even read that last sentence.

MaidinVinyl. Used to be in a small room inside the Inverurie gym. Glad to see them move to a proper premises. Always had a pretty great selection and were one of the few places in aberdeen to get in RSD stuff. GBOLATB.

My favourite dvd shop for tv shows was the watch series dvd shop. My favourite for movies seems to have gone out of business.

Uncharted, by the same studio (Naughty Dog) and that's a great story. Uncharted 4 looks beautiful. And you can get the remastered Nathan Drake Collection (Uncharted 1-3) now for pretty cheap pre-owned.

40 is quite regular I think. That's why a 500gb ps4 is basically 90% figuring out what games you want to delete to install a new one and 10% playing the new game. No Man's Sky. Lot of hype, equal amount of hate. People seem to be getting really mad at Sean Murray for lying. But, all the things he lied about, I don't really care about. Enjoying my minecraft meets animal watching meets space experience. After getting sick of the utter grind that is unlocking the last cassette tapes in Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, I watched them on youtube then started on Ground Zeroes. Fox Engine is absolutely beautiful and I look forward to MG: SurviVe.

65daysofstatic - Music For An Infinite Universe - No Man's Sky OST Mesmerising. Perfect moments of peace mixed with a feeling of suddenness and urgency. Been weird having this on while playing Rocket League. Makes that extra time goal feel so much more important. It's perfect for No Man's Sky, and when it booms in while sentinels are attacking me I can go "oh I like this one!" Brand New - 3 Songs, Reworked A little miffed that all these years after Daisy, we still only have 3 actually new songs. Mene, it's B-side and I Am A Nightmare. These 3 songs are from 'Fight Off Your Demons', the leaked demos from when they were recording The Devil And God... Since Daisy we've had Mene as a download, then they released FOYD on tape as "Leaked Demos". Then we got I Am A Nightmare on vinyl, then 3 songs from those same leaked demos re-worked. Now they've released Mene with a b-side on vinyl too. Part of me isn't enjoying the money-grabbing from a band that seem to have hit writers block quite hard, part of me is glad I can own these all on vinyl, and part of me is glad that they've reworked these demos, as I'm a bigger fan of TDAG than I am of Deja. And IAAN and Mene seemed to be more deja-like. These songs hint that the new album might be a mix of deja and TDAG. Which I'm okay with. And it's nice to hear these songs recorded proper. Just seems a bit like a cash-grab. And they released a t-shirt with a death date for the band on it. Since Daisy they've been nothing but hype. And I'm the kind of sucker who damns the hype but then jumps on the wagon. Fuck you Jesse Lacey. I always preferred John Nolan as a teen, and now you've got me to switch sides just to break my heart. Fuck you. But keep releasing music. Even if it's old songs rerecorded. Please. But Fuck you. Please.

Seen that program on 4, The Job Interview? Some of the business owners seem pretty decent. One guy got hired cause when they asked him if he could have any superpower, he said "Russia". Then again, some of the interviewees are terrible. Tell me where you would like to go to eat, anywhere in the world and we'll pay for it. The bloke said he'd just order a dominos. The job was some high end food/drink place. But there was one interviewer who gave them a phone and then rung it pretending to be a disgruntled customer asking where they delivery driver was. He wouldn't let her put him on hold. Now, as anyone knows, if you want to phone someone who isn't there, maybe a van driver, you'd have to put who you're talking to on hold. And he was having none of it. When they said sorry he was like "dont be sorry just fix it!" the folk that pretended to ask around the office got top marks. I felt like some of them should have asked for his supervisor and phoned them complaining about abuse. Fuck that noise.

I worked with a guy that took his work laptop home and used it as his home laptop. Our work's servers were almost always at a standstill. The laptops routinely backed-up to the server. The silly cunt had used the sync-ing folders for his itunes library, movies, photos. Basically there were two of each folder, one that would, and one that wouldn't sync. He put all his home stuff in the one that would sync.

Cheques. What's the point? Cashed one on Friday, still waiting.

Anyone watching Ray Donavon? I really like the first season, then got rid of Sky and forgot about it. Noticed it's not 4 seasons deep. I want to get back in to it but would like someone to tell me it didn't go to shit.

"I'm not really politically minded, I don't pay attention to politics but..." Translates to "I dont have a fucking clue what I'm talking about but ignorance is bliss"

Any decent veggie/vegan restaurants in Edinburgh close to the Playhouse?

I blame buzzfeed. Thatcher's buzzfeed.

Saw Suicide Squad, I feel like I wanted it to be better than it was. Major Spoilers: All in all, it was good, but not as good as it could have been. I feel a slightly different cut/edit would have made the difference. This is the only DC film from this run that took my fancy, but it was hyped up too much, and made for a bigger disappointment than it should have been. No Martha's though. So there's that saving grace.

I felt a bit of a Gaslight Anthem vibe from it, saying that, I've only ever listened to '59 sound. But I'm enjoying it too. They actually seem to be evolving slightly. They're not trying to write songs that sound like when they first started, like a certain other band who have recently released a new album that's full of stuff that 40 odd year olds shouldn't be singing about and swimming pools to see dicks.

Even if you're alone during holidays that's just time that could be spent wanking. You can't wank at work. Well you can, but if you get caught you'll have a lot more free time to wank.

I was a second goer too with Bobs. Netflix are coming down hard on using dns codes so I haven't had my bob fix in a while. but on the plus side, uk netflix gets new Archer almost as soon as its finished in the states. So i'm still getting me some H. Jon.

Outcast - based on the Kirkman comic of the same name. Good, but not the walking dead good. it's made by cinemax, so i didn't set my standards too high. but it's alright. definitely a case of the comics being better though. Preacher - another comic adaptation, but this time they've changed quite a lot of the plot. the story is still mainly the same (preacher gets super powers) but it has a few different directions that make it better to watch alongside reading the comics. whereas outcast is sticking to the comics pretty hard and any new stories feel like padding.

Childish Gambino - Because The Internet Really love this album. Great production (far better than camp). Canna be arsed to read the screen play though. 72 Pages? Are you eatin' tho? Tyler, The Creator - Goblin His angstier follow up to his angsty debut. Lot of songs from alter egos/personas. Written a few years ago when he was about 18/19. Features all the stuff that Theresa May banned him from the UK for. You can tell Eminem was a big influence. Dark. Really dark. Really really really dark. His newer stuff is a lot more mellow, less songs about stalking and dracula. But that's what I came for when I put on this album, songs about stalking and dracula and stabbing Bruno Mars. Taking Back Sunday - Taking Back Sunday First album they did as the original Tell All Your Friends line up, released a few years ago. Big fan of this. Singing along all the way down to Edinburgh. Iggy Pop - Post Pop Depression The stuff he was playing on Jools Holland the other month with Joshua Homme and thon drummer fae thon Arctic Monkeys. Picked it up in Fopp today. Really like it. Mellow. Cool. Yeah dude.

They seem to come back and post every year. are they just ignoring all replies, or are they getting folk to audition through these posts? the mind boggles.

Horace and Pete - Louis C.K.'s new thing he has up on his website. Really good. Typical Louis C.K. it's sadder than it is funny and it tries to be super artsy but I'm really enjoying it. Steve Buscemi is great in it. As is Jessica Lange. Sylvia does my tits in though but I guess she was written to do that (that dinner episode was hard to watch) Not quite TV Series, but I watched all of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared now that it's finished. needed some youtube theories to make heads or tails of it. HOW'D YOU GET THE IDEA?
