Damn man, coming back here is like taking off the bandages and seeing that nothings healed at all...
Ken, I just want to thank you again for the chance you took on little ol' me, and I wish I could have done more. I still pride myself on the fact that if I said I'd do something, I did it, so I have that small consolation. I am straight up sat here in the office feeling all these feels, and I'm a grown ass man.
Stylon, thanks for the pointer to the XBox Hub. I've read as much as I can, and it does have a similar feel to here, albeit at a much earlier stage and without a certain gruff voiced taskmaster. I've asked if they need any writers, so maybe I can get back on the bike.
Last thing to say : You were all awesome, staff, readers, regulars, whatever.
Been over a month, and I still miss this place every day. Deffo one of those things about if you love your job, you never have to work a day in your life...
Well, I just wanna say that learning from you guys was a great experience, and thanks for the opportunity. And Ant, in case you read this, I'm sorry I came off as a dick, its just hard to see something that you've worked on and cared about become yesterdays news, you know?
Thanks guys, its been a blast.
And Ken, I've already told you what I think, but you were a damn fine editor, and deserve more than this. Take a holiday man!
I'd make a CoD group purely for gobby, squeaky voiced kids and then let them just argue amongst themselves. Take them out of general population, if you like.
@KelticDevil This has really piqued my interest, it wasn't really on my radar before. I gave the conference a 9, verging on a 10.
SCORPIO! That blew me away when they announced it, 4 times as many teraflops as the Xbox One! And as we all know, the more teraflops you have, the better your life will ultimately be.
@stylon I did the same, except I had 150... I said to the girl behind the counter "I've got a few games to trade in,m can I bring them in?" and then dumped two massive bags full on the counter. Came away with enough money to buy all the Xbox One launch titles, a PS3 and some gamers for that too, a year of PS-Plus...Good times.
One day, I'll actually get around to playing the games I say I'm going to! Really loving Rory's Golf at the moment, particularly as its free with EA Access!
The trailer looks great, as you'd expect, and its an intriguing setting for a Battlefield game. It'll be interesting to see which gamers prefer , the past or the future...
I actually thought the campaign on that was not terrible...The multiplayer though, oh my...Lets give the bad guys IEDs and stuff, thats not a thing thats in the news every day..oh wait...

Re: Review: Hard Reset Redux (Xbox One)
The story is easily the best part of this mate, its a shame the rest of the game doesn't live up to it!

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 103
@tylertreese RotR was super awesome. If Uncharted is better, then it must be one hell of a game!
Re: Review: Grand Prix Rock 'n Racing (Xbox One)
Wow. In that third paragraph, I was going to say that sounded like your Forza online style, but this game does sound awful!
