<52.49> Battlefield 1 Ultimate Edition for PC. Amusingly, that's in a half price sale. (And annoyingly, you need to get the Ultimate Edition as that includes the Premium Pass DLC maps and modes. They have quite deliberately left the Premium Pass out of the sale, otherwise it'd be cheaper to buy both the base game and the Premium Pass at 50% off, but because the Premium Pass has been left at its normal price of £39.99, the Ultimate Edition works out 'cheapest'.)
<3.74> Traps 'n' Gemstones for Android.
<4.19> - Virtual Virtual Reality
<2.49> - Hunter's Gate
<4.79> - The Other Room

All for Daydream.

How does the Daydream stuff compare with PSVR?
<0.74> Root of Evil
<0.95> Dollar Galaxy Bundle. 25 games for 95p. Obviously bound to be a mixed bag, but the first in the list, 'A Trip to Yugoslavia: Director's Cut' sold me on the title and description alone. An FMV game in 2017. Sold. :)

Spare key if anyone wants it -
Retention - PRE24-VFWBP-3LAQ5
<10> on Until Dawn for the PS4.
<1.89> on The Ghost Town for Android.

Dunno yet -- mine didn't work for ages due to some incompatibility between the umpteen groups of beta software on my phone. (Normal users wouldn't see this.) So I've spent barely five minutes with it. It seems good -- far less powerful, obviously, but still useful. And not having any trailing cables is nice too.

Speaking of VR- <40> Star Trek: Bridge Crew
<3.99> on Vulture Island for Android.
~<5.76> on the second tier of the current Adult Swim Humble Bundle. Specifically to get Small Radios Big Televisions, Westerado: Double Barreled and Headlander.
<39.99> Star Trek: Bridge Crew (PC)

I look forward to enjoying this on Android in about three fucking years.

ETA: Huh, I just checked the original game and the Android release was only a month after the iOS so maybe I'm being unfair there.
Monument Valley 2? Woohoo!

I'm still waiting for Solomon's Keep :(
HuniePop - <1.99> on GOG.

More Match 3 stuff. Over on Steam, it's the highest rated Match 3 game, but I suspect that might be partly down to the cartoon nudity.
<8.90> iRacing Ferrari 488 GTE (PC)
<7.88> on the Humble Ocean's Day bundle.
<6.79> on Firewatch.
<15.99> Nex Machina PS4

Edith Finch and Firewatch I'll rinse through. Dying Light is to play tonight with Dave, Ian and Sal. I'll hold my hands up to the rest though.

Aye, Edith Finch and Firewatch are totally fair enough. Aliens vs Predator though, holy shit. Also, another racing game? Have you lost your fucking mind?

AvP was 99p.

rFactor 2 is meant to be the best simulation outside of iRacing and it has some cars I haven't driven.

Small beans for a hobby.

Edited the rest in case Finance Controller sees it.

That's not the point, as you well know.
So the Steam sale hit me up for £21.18 instead of the £61.53 that the seven games in question would've previously cost me which I think's pretty good going.

Oxenfree <3.74>
That Dragon, Cancer <4.89>
ICARUS.1 <1.19>
CALENDULA <1.39>
Spate <1.59>
NEON STRUCT <2.39>
The Turing Test <5.99>
AvP? Ancient. Dump it.
I really disliked Oxenfree and it's one of the few games I've made a concerted effort to start before it got deleted after a fair few hours without finishing it.

Ancient but still great. Everything moves so fast!

I'm really struggling to parse this sentence.
Ian needs to look up the definition of 'concerted effort' tbh

Pffft. I don't know about you but I have to plan to start a game and see it through to the end. For example, it's no good starting a walkathon when you want to shoot stuff in the face.

Dude, it's impossible for you to make a concerted effort
Am I spelling this wrong or saying it wrong in my head? I've looked at it so much that the words no longer have any meaning.

I believe he's pedanting on the fact that a concerted effort technically requires more than one person acting in concert.

It's supposed to be something you do jointly with others, but it appears it's been misused so much now that common usage dictates you can use it in the way you have. Ho hum.

It will definitely affect numbers.
