<35> Burnout Paradise Remastered PS4 but the cool download version not the shitty data-Frisbee version

RuySan · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 3542

The only remastering I need from burnout paradise is not asking me to login to EA network every time I launch it. I have shills just thinking about it.

Too rich for my blood. I'd have to get PS+ back too.

I saw that Gas Guzzlers Extreme was on offer, and watching the videos, it reminded me of Flat Out, so I thought I'd buy it.

Ooohh you're in for a treat there. Same as the first one though, do low chaos first, and then high chaos.

For sure! The first game was fucking incredible and I've just kept an eye on the second one as it's dropped in price. I'm not ever ready to play it right now but couldn't resist for that price.

I bought Star Realms on Steam (it also gives access to the android version). <4.99>

This game was recommended to me on the Boardgames thread and is absolutely brilliant. I should buy the real cards.

Do you remember when the Xbox one was first announced and we all bawlked at the suggestion of download only games? Happy times

Yeah but you don't have mrsa watching the post and moaning about clutter (which is why I am not buying a sledgehammer today, curiously), and she won't check the bank statement for another week.

With appropriate usage, a sledgehammer can be used to reduce clutter HTH HAND

Are we including furniture now?

Hearthly · **Joined:** 11th May, 2008 **Posts:** 13382

It's gaming furniture. It is intrinsically linked to the purchase of the XBox.

(I added that a bit tongue-in-cheek TBH, I happy to remove it from the list if the consensus is that it doesn't belong. Even though it's definitely games-related expenditure.)

myp · **Posted:** Sun Mar 18, 2018 12:20

My racing seat could be defined as furniture.

Having not entered anything this year, I can't really argue. I only asked because if I do get round to entering something I was wondering if I could count the tv unit I bought for the games room, but I've since realised that was the old unit and the new one went downstairs anyway :shrug:

Well in my head I'm thousands of pounds ahead of the curve as I didn't get a new car, so this is just pocket change now and thus GUILT FREE.

And that is how you construct a world around you to fit a narrative you find agreeable.

myp · **Posted:** Sun Mar 18, 2018 17:21

What happens when you still get a new car anyway?

Forza 7 and an expensive wheel and pedal rig could fit into that criteria as well...

Yes, but if if I put it in swedish money it'd be in the tens of thousands of pounds.

I don't expect you to do it foreign,

but the prices are very "sterling". Is there rounding involved?

The sound of exhaustion from a heavy sigh after you’ve been killed by a grenade thrown by a team mate.
