I spent £950 on my last PC and that felt pretty extravagant. |

~<3.86> on the current Humble Mobile Bundle. Mostly for Mechanic Escape and A Normal Lost Phone, though unWorded looks really interesting and Sanitarium and OK Golf might be cool as well. |

Bamba wrote: Also, thanks to Hearthly for knocking me off the top of the list. Well I said back on Page 1 that the delineating factor this year would be 'new PC' or 'no new PC'  Admittedly my thinking at the time was towards 'no new PC', but that was before my current PC decided to start getting occasionally crashy and blue-screeny, which I really don't like at all. (Plus I've been dropping new games down to 1080p and starting to nip away at the various shiny settings to keep at my preferred 60FPS, which has annoyed me as well, when what I really want to do is max things out at 1440p@60Hz - this is something that's stopped being routine in the world of native XBone/PS4 titles, whereas it was rather trivial in the 360/PS3 crossover to XBone/PS4 era.) It's a fair chunk of cash to drop, but hopefully it won't need any sort of upgrading or tweaking for a few years. |

It's the kind of fresh direction that could re-invigorate the Street Fighter franchise after all these years. Zangief and Dumbo kicking the shit out of each other. 'Spinning trunk whip!' EDIT - Oh, probably should have done something a bit more profound for my 10,000th post. |

A cutesy platformer, where you can switch between Street Fighter characters to use their special moves to work through the game. I'd buy it. |

<47.99> FIFA 18 (Switch). Probably cheaper elsewhere, but I was in local indie shop and decided to get it from there while I was out and about. Really pleased with the game so far too. Haven't really played a FIFA game properly since FIFA 10. 12 didn't grab me, so I lost interest in them for a while, but this is good. Once you get past the initial couple of EULA screens, logging in with Nintendo and then EA Accounts, you can finally get stuck in. Short loading times just a nice straightforward game of footy. |
