Watched the Iron Claw last night and boy did that shit hit hard. At the end I was balling my eyes out- as was the Mrs. Partly due to personal circumstances but it was an incredibly powerful movie. The only negative I can think of was the questionable casting of Ric Flair. Other than that, a very solid movie.

Do people use the English voiceovers in the newer games? I tried on Like a Dragon and absolutely hated it. I’m still working my way through Like a Dragon and one thing I find difficult is tracking the side-stories - I find the interface isn’t exactly intuitive at the best of times. I’ve also completely lost/forgotten where to create gear, I swear a workshop of some sort was introduced to me at some point.

van Dijk is past it.

Total spend by PL clubs this January was £96.2m whereas last January it was £815m. Even though half of that was spent by Chelsea, that’s quite the come down.

Another old feature returns then.

We binged the first season of “Such Brave Girls” as Hulu recommended it to us (think it’s on BBC in the UK). It’s absolutely fantastic. I fully recommend it to anyone wanting to watch a brand-new sitcom - plus it’s only six episodes so fairly easy to get through.

With this possible points deduction hanging over their heads and now seemingly latching onto Mendes - I think Forest are fucked.

Marseille want to sign Nuno Tavares on a permanent deal. There was no break clause inserted into the loan deal with Forest, and they are at the moment unwilling to terminate his loan deal, despite him hardly featuring. This is all leading to us having to pay for our own player to leave again….

Give me the gimmick battle royal from WrestleMania 17 with all the entrants and I’ll buy this game.

Have they brought SkyTrack back yet? Haven’t watched the second episode but I loved that event. One observation I had from the first episode was how many people in the audience looked tired and bored when the presenters were talking, which made me think that it must take hours upon hours to film with all the apparatus etc that have to be moved. Pretty sure I saw on kid asleep against their Mum’s shoulder.

I’ve been playing this a bunch on the deck, it’s got a surprising amount of depth to it. A really nice casual game I can pick up and play for a bit and come back to it. Did take me a while to realise that the harpoon gun results in lower quality fish though. I got the net gun but would still harpoon things…

Resident Evil 2 is a cracking game.

I’m not entirely sure what Saka did that was wrong? Van Dijk pressuring the ref to send Saka off was a joke. He went in for a tackle, one the ball and slipped.
