    Down to the last few game's of the season on FIFA 2023.

    FA Cup Final with Chelsea, then last game of the season with Everton that if we win, then we will be Premier League Champions. Then one last game will be the Champions League Final.

    Good season again. Squad has developed a lot. Only have Ben Brereton Diaz as the sole survivor and last real player at the club. Rest are youth scouted or regeneration of player's. 

    Won everything. Pretty much the Squad is very OP.

    Really enjoying this career mode. We've brought in some new face's. Let a few go on loan to improve and get regularly playing.

    Ben Brereton Diaz is 29 soon to be 30. This might be his last two season's at the club. I bought a replacement already and will thase him in with more game time. He's 93 rated. So give me that sweet sweet cash. £140 million for him is the valuation. What a Legend he has become. Scoring all the time. If he isn't playing and on the bench. He usually smashes through everyone anytime he's on the ball. Top scoring player for three season's straight. 

    Oh Liverpool has Neymar and Pogba. While at Wolves. A should be retired Harry Kane.

    Taking this more as a moment than a game, there was something really special about the moment you left the vault in Fallout 3 and got a sense of just how vast the world you were walking into felt. 

    Yes. The way the screen is too bright as you exit the vault with the sun. Then once it settles. You then see how vast it all is around the world. 

    First time doing this a random enemy dog attacked me. That was such a fun game to get lost into at the time.

  3. Playing Dead Rising and Resident Evil 1 and 2 with my Grandmother.

    Same for Mass Effect series. Would put Heavy Rain on the list as I loved that game. Day's Gone.

    Getting my first PlayStation and the smell of the plastic wrap around it, and loading it up to hear that classic wound. Playing Tomb Raider 2. But only at Croft Manor. Theme Hospital that I was playing back then and few year's later the WWF Games. 

    PlayStation 2 also. Mainly for Vice City. Because I received it a week too early before release date with ordering for Littlewoods. Smackdown HCTP and Shut Your Mouth.

    Although. My personal choice. Broken Sword. I know it off by heart now which is sad. Often love visiting that game.

  5. 1-1 with WBA. <_<

    Ben finding the back of the net after a few game's and securing a point was alright. Just as usual our form drops middle of the season.

    I don't know if we will qualify for the play off competition this year though after the last few week's. 

  6. FIFA 23. Really having a blast in career mode. Have been using ChatGP to generate storylines and element's to incorporate into my save with Blackburn Rovers.

    Ended up gutting the club of most of the real player's I had there. Except Diaz. He's 88 Rated now, and 28 I think. So once he reaches about 32 is when I will sell him for the 140Million Barcelona offered. Most of the players in are either from the youth squad, or pregen and regeneration of retired real player's. 

    Making it through the January Transfer window. Knocked Spurs out of the Semi Final for the League Cup. First leg was at Ewood. 3-2. Then we went to London and battered them 5-0.

  7. I'm probably going to take a chance on this game just for War Games. Although my next wrestling game purchase was going to be AEWs game. But with delays. Guess it will be trying a WWE game again. I still haven't played 2K22 yet.

    Couldn't deal with total darkness or silence.  Absolutely sign me up for being away from people, traffic etc for a few days but at least give me my TV and PS5 so I can happily game in peace.

    😬 This is the chronic illness life in one, and how I've been since the pandemic.

  9. The A.B.C Murders from Agatha Christie's Poirot ITV TV Series. Must have seen this episode quite a few times. But I always do seem to forget little thing's about it. It's probably my favourite adaption over the BBC Version.

    The guest stars are pretty good casting. Although completely forgotten that one of the actor's also appears in The Mystery of The Blue Train. Nicholas Farrell playing the part of Donald Fraser. He's actually one of my most enjoyed performances from the show in The Blue Train. So to see him pop up here was fun.

    The little settings seem to keep the simple touch of the time period alive. The little costal town's are often fun to look into from the time period.

    Donald Sumpter is also appearing in the episode. A good while before he appears on Game of Thrones. 

    There's a scene in the cinema that has always been my favourite to do with the plot. It's from Black Limelight. An old black and white british crime film from 1938 that is playing in the cinema. The film is about a serial killer that kills on a full moon. So they inserted some of noir inspired scenes into the episode of Poirot. I thought it really added to it. It made me check out the movie after the scene's always struck out to me. 

    Spoiler

     

     

    I still think it's a fresh interesting take on murder mystery with a serial killer. With a clever story that's planned out with an interesting cast of character's. It does explore the after effects of World War 1. The more horrible effect of shell shock and the gas used. The early words used for PTSD in our modern age I guess. 

    The book and episode are always like an old comfort movie or show you can just get back into. I think that's down to how delightful David Suchet played the title role. Hastings and Poirot are never a bore to watch with their Laurel and Hardy inspired humour both seem to play at really well.

    It isn't just footballers, rape has one of the lowest conviction rates of all crimes because a lot of the time it boils down to he said she said.

    It really is. Had to correct someone today when they where actually victim blaming the victim for going back home with him. It's disgusting all of it. I'm glad he's finished in football. 

    My Mother pretty much took her childhood abuser to court a couple of year's ago. A lot of it was victim blaming then, she was asking for it and all sorts. You can see why some women don't bother even coming forward. 

  11. Much preferable is the classic whodunit where there it is a mystery and keeps you guessing until the end with a grand reveal of it. 

    Although. I do like the Columbo formula of how a Detective or team will get the murderer. I think that is why I enjoyed the BBC Series of Murder in Mind so much.  

    I've also found this delightful from Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett in the spirit of Agatha Christie sketch they did. Which I guess is on the mystery spectrum or paying homepage to it at least. So think it would be okay to post in here. Enjoy a giggle. :happy:

     

  12. Darwen F.C would be the local choice of non league teams up here that are local if I had to pick any. Further out you have Chorley and Clitheroe. Plus a host more in the West Lancashire Football League.

    We also still do some Sunday Football on the playing field's near the cemetery, or we used to do at one stage over the last couple of year's.
