I'd say that's a good price and also, a good stick! I have one which I think I bought off Hearthly? I use it on my PC for emulators although, I'm thinking of getting a Wii to USB dongle thingy so that I can use my Wii Snes pad on my PC. I like that pad a lot.
<14.99> Fire Pro Wrestling Word (Steam).

I always wanted to get into the Fire Pro Wrestling games, but the best ones always seemed to be Japanese-only.



Considering the game's only been out a couple of days, it would seem the Steam workshop already has a shedload of custom content -

Wow, that looks really shit.

Is this the first time you've seen a Firepro game? This looks just like all the other versions which admittedly, aren't the best lookers. The nuance is in the game play which is brilliant. It's all about timing and tactics.

I think I shall have to get this!

I think you'll love it. My problem with the games in the past is that I've never really known how to play them properly, but I've just gone through the tutorial missions and I'm away. Downloaded a few of the custom-made wrestlers from Steam and just had a match with me as the Ultimate Warrior against Big Daddy.

I wasn't talking about the graphics (remember I still cheerfully fire MAME up on a regular basis to play 30+ year old arcade games :D), but that looks like The Main Event (Konami arcade wrestling game) or something to me.

It's not dissimilar to The Main Event or Wrestlefest etc., but it's basically those games with lots of extra gameplay and customisation. I think the fact that they're more about timing than mashing buttons.
<4.69> Killer Bundle X (Bundlestars); Warhammer 40k, Human fall flat, Flame in the Flood, Monochroma.
<£26.39> Superhot & Superhot VR, PS4

A strange purchase.

When are you going to play that?

A valid question. It's kinda aspirational, it'll be a reward to myself for finally killing all the zeds.
<0.8> Telltale Bundle

6QVE9-FJ4JB-AHVPM - Puzzle Agent
5T7V3-QFL2A-6Z5YB- Puzzle Agent 2

if anyone wants them.

I could knock that up for about six hundred quid if you paid me. If I did it for myself it would cost about £200
Nice profit margin, Mr Branson

Um... I'm quite interested, actually.

£600 is a good price for that cabinet and all the consoles, and it's a right bargain when you consider the cost of the TV and sound bar.

Hmmm. How long do you think it would take to make that, paint it and add the lights? Now factor in making a living? I'm assuming you get paid more than £75 a day for being a corporate whore so you can do the maths...
<18> GNOG, Statik -- PSVR
The Last of Us: Left Behind <4>
Tumble VR <4>
Volume <4>
Dying Reborn: VR <5>
GNOG <8>
Forgot to cancel my Humble Bundle monthly, so <9.50>. One of the early unlocks, NBA 2K17, is a 66gb install. I only have 5gb left as it is, so that's not getting played in a hurry.
<12> -- inFamous Second Son & First Light
<0.99> on realMyst and <0.99> on Mimpi Dreams, both for Android.
<3.40> for Life is Strange, I just couldn't resist at that price.
<41.96> Titanfall2, T2 Deluxe, AC Black Flag & Rachet and Clank.

Should keep me busy a while
<1.20> on Portal. A mate of mine hasn't played either of the Portal games and just keeps making excuses not to so now he's got no excuse.

I'm not surprised he hasn't played it. It's old. Dump it. ;)

yeah. I posted it to the Bargains thread at the same time too.
No probs, have been dipping in and out over then last months.
<4.99> Final Fantasy VII (Steam)
<12.99> Starcraft Remastered. Pre-purchase from the Blizzard Store it will be released before the end of the month they say.
<9.99> on RiME for the PC (hat-tip to Lewie).
<9.99> - No Mans Sky on PSN
<6.39> Dead Rising (Steam)

Another of my wishlist items is on sale too, the Disney Afternoon Collection at £7.99, but I figured I'd be more likely to play Dead Rising, so that can wait.
<0.42> On Framed 2 for Android.
<3.99> on Legend of the Skyfish for Android.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy <30>
<5.99> World Championship Soccer USA 94 for Pinball Arcade on Steam. (Pro Edition.)
<8> Humble Jumbo Bundle 9 (PC)
<3.79> Classic Words Plus (Android). Words With Friends has been getting on my nerves, so I looked for an alternative (that wasn't EA's Scrabble). It only has single player against the AI, but it's a good app so far.
<32.99> - Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

There were codes to get it down to £34.99 at Amazon and I had £2 credit

https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/switch ... de-2775619

I dont know if the codes are still valid but you can try going through the process on the link above and see what you get
Ah right, I thought it would be that. It's back up to £44 now. Missed the boat on that one.
<26.99> Fire Emblem.
<8.72> Various bundles since last I fessed.
<2385.85> New PC. First entire new PC for twelve years!
We have a new front runner. :)

I don't think I've spent that much on PC stuff in total, ever, and my first PC cost £900 (for a lovely Celeron 133)
