Yeeeeeeah. I can tell from three games that Queens Blood is going to be dangerous for me.

Kind of annoyed you can't play it constantly like in previous FFs. I want to put 20 hours into it, damn it

How far are you in to it? I'd really recommend playing through Intermission too, it's great.

You kind of have to for the story imo 

I blasted through it in 2.5 hours the other night anyway so it's not a huge detour

I was very mixed on Remake but i am LOVING this so far. It's beautiful. 

I just found something in the forest and did a childish giggle of joy. 

Rewatching this for the 5th time. Watching with my mam, she's never seen it before. Just finished season 4 and I'm devastated all over again. 

Looking forward to season 5, it's nowhere near as bad as everyone says. 

Love the fan service in it too, so many one or two scene cameos:

Nick, Poot, Prezbo, Namond, Randy, Colvin, Avon, Weebay, Johnny Fifty, Sergei, Chardene, Polk, Cutty. Savino too I guess. And that’s off the top of my head, bet there’s more.

I love Keill

WrestleMe is my favourite currently, so much so that I signed up to the Patreon. Consistently good stuff, never gets bogged down by actually discussing what happens in matches.

Matthew Crosby & Ed Gamble on Radio X continues to be wonderful. Crosby is one of the funniest people alive. 

Mike & Vittorio's Guide to Parenting is a new one. Two Irish comedians, neither of whom are parents, chatting shit for an hour each week. Makes me laugh out loud every episode.

What is Music? deep-dives Manics, Billie Eilish, Muse and Radiohead's discographies. Long episodes but the hosts are good lads and I enjoy spending time with them and disagreeing with everyone but Adam

Gig Pigs is promising, each week Ivo Graham and some other comedian take another comedian to a gig then chat about it. 

Ghost Stories for the End of the World have a UK series coming up. Essential listening for those interested in evil establishments and governments. 

Always Be Comedy is another new one. A comedian lists their dream main course, side dish and dessert  stand-up comedy line-up. Always like listening to Stewart Lee out of character. 

Played a wee bit of 2k22 but this is my first proper experience with a WWE game in almost a decade. It's fantastic! Love all the little touches, some of the animations are so lifelike. 5 star matches actually feel like that. Glad I picked it up. 

Anyone got any personal end of year playlists they wanna share? Want to listen to loads more, but these are my works in progress...

My top 100 tracks of the year:

Mate!!! this is so cool, I hate you. 

I'm obsessed with Taskmaster, probably one of my all-time favourite shows at this point.

the new line-up is good, Johnny Vegas was on my wishlist, think he'll be great. The rest, yep. Don't know much about Catherine, never got the IT Crowd, but know the others well and think they'll all be value. 

No More Jockeys is the only good thing to come out of lockdown. 

Gogglebox is BRILLIANT and consistently one of the funniest things on TV, and i'm deeply suspicious of anyone that says it's shite and presume they haven't actually watched it and have just thought 'oh it's a show about people watching TV, must be bad'.

If you love 8 Out of 10 Cats then you MUST watch Taskmaster. The perfect TV show for quarantimes, just pure hilarity and escapism. I believe it's on YouTube now. 

Added some of you- my nickname is minortextfixer

@Katsuya seems we were both dissing Moldova before the rehearsals. 

Great job on YT this year btw, you guys have really stepped it up. 

Gran Turismo will always be one of my favourite albums... I don't listen that often these days but when I do it still sounds incredibly fresh and the production is spotless.

I've always loved 'What Do I Do Now?' by Sleeper but I've never listened to any more from them, but I will now.

Are you on last.fm, Hamster? Wondering what our compatibility rating would be...

Wow, seems crazy that it's 5 years since I did the first one of these...

The two later albums are shit and don't even deserve a mention.

Seeing them on Sunday

BATISTA!!!!!

Why would you sim for 15 years? I've never got that, isn't that incredibly boring?

Just click 'go on holiday' once a year then have a look when it's done to see how things are going. I'm planning to start a game way into the future anyway, maybe 2050 or something.

I got bored with my game and I started a new one, unemployed, and just simmed the whole way through to 2023 (so far).

Quite interesting but it's pissing me off that there's 13-14 08/09 Premiership Clubs who never seem to get into trouble, and another 5 or 6 who come up and go back down most seasons. And of course the ridiculous bias FM has always had towards Arsenal, who've won the Premiership 9 times since the start of the game, and should win it this season too. Bolton and West Ham are the only Premiership sides who have got into big trouble, West Ham sitting near the bottom of the Championship in administration and Bolton mid-table in League One.

Steve Random & Jeff Random.

Looks like I'm being taken over... lots of money. Leicester City- European Cup Champions 2018/19, I can feel it.

Started as Leicester, got them promoted as champions in the first season, got to the Championship play-offs in the next but missed out, beaten by Wolves in the semi-final. This season I'm strolling the league, should get promoted easy.

Finished 10th in my first Prem season and got to the FA Cup final but lost (that's 5 FA Cup Finals for Leicester and 5 runner-up medals...)

Left them for Notts Forest who were bottom of League 1... the side is a shambles. Have got them playing decently though and I'm 3 points behind safety with 16 games to go, so should be fine. Only problem is the board want me to finish in the play-offs... very reasonable considering I took over after 14 games of the season and they were already 10 points adrift

So I got Forest promoted, then nearly made the playoffs in the Championship. Now the club has been taken over and I'm waiting to hear if they're going to let me keep my job. Fuckers. They want to replace me with Martin O'Neill. I think I might just jump ship before I get pushed...

Okay, so they've let me keep my job. But... I'm going to resign anyway. I think I'm going to go back to Leicester.

Yeah, Five have an on-demand service and the episodes are on there, I believe.

Just got this game last week, tried to not play FM for a whole year but failed...

I'm one of those people who only ever has one save game on FM through the whole season so I think I'll do another season with Leicester, try and establish them as a Premier League side, then I'll be off to somewhere else, possibly Nottingham Forest as they're somehow languishing in the middle of League 2 after back-to-back relegations. Actually I might just make that my aim, try and restore the Midlands sides to their former glory... Derby are in League One so that'd be a challenge too.

Pretty good game anyway, I feel it's much better than last year. Not a fan of the 3d match engine, mind.
