Really looking forward to that brand new IP they show at the end.

Not my video, and this is obviously parody and not a real conversation, but very well done nonetheless.

So the used PS4 I recently bought was delivered today, and now the "it's not much but it's mine" starterpack is looking complete:



I own four games on disc so far, three on PSN (LocoRoco 1+2 Remaster, Patapon Remaster). Maybe five more disc games and three more PSN games I really feel the need to buy, though Spider-Man and RDR2 still on the way.



I was hoping the console would come with firmware 5.05 or lower so that it could be exploited, but no such luck. It came on 5.50, so I decided I may as well update for the few PSN games I wanted. Unfortunately, all the memes about PS4 install+update time are true, it was also pretty finnicky and quit out of some installs at about 80% a couple times. I appreciate Switch sticking to cartridges more now.



That's all for now, I'm sure I'll enjoy Bloodborne and I can't wait to pick up God of War (4) when it's a bit cheaper. Think I'll tough out the wait for Monster Hunter World on PC.

This didn't really seem "world event" worthy, more just something to laugh at. Of course they don't allow gay/lesbian people on the site, but married people are fine.



Here's the article about the guy in the picture:

Nick Foles is MVP and brought home the Eagles first franchise Lombardi trophy.



This Super Bowl set a record for most offensive yardage of any Super Bowl and any playoff game! Eagles win, puck the Fatriots!!!

I had no idea until today. Apparently it's going to have pretty much everything from TS/TS2/TSFP. It's called "Timesplitters Rewind."

Feel free to discuss or just post random pictures/memes here, whatevz.

Jeff Sessions was recently interviewed by Mueller's team:

The Senate panel released their interviews with Trump Jr. to Mueller, suggesting he lied on some points:

Seems like Gates is negotiating for a deal to flip:

Jared Kusher's financial records are turned over to Mueller from Deutsche Bank:

Trump said he would speak to Mueller under oath:

And then his lawyers "clarified" his statement to say he wouldn't be doing that:

Sources say we're likely reaching the conclusion of the obstruction of justice part of the probe:

None the less it's clear that something big is coming soon, the GOP is in panic mode:

They've begun to switch their messaging from, "there was no Russian interference" to "there was Russian interference but we had nothing to do with it." Pressure is starting to hit home.

Title says it all basically. I'm not sure who here is watching the AFC title game, but the Jaguars were absolutely crushing the Patriots 14-3 until the refs gave roughly 90 yards of back-to-back penalty yardage to the Patriots. As usual the calls always go their way, refs will be the MVPs for the Patriots if they win this game.

Bad enough the Pats won the superbowl last year and then were given the easiest regular season schedule in the league this year.

Continuing their attempts to become the most unpopular administration in history, Sessions and Trump are trying to eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs in the marijuana industry and prosecute marijuana patients as well.

Remember, states' rights only applies when it's something the Republicans want. /s

Just got back from losing money in Vegas, this was some good news to see while there. No guarantees of course, Republicans still control the Senate by a very slight majority after Roy Moore's loss, but I do feel like this might be an issue where some would split from the party line. Only need to flip a couple votes to pass.

US Politics

Michael Flynn has plead guilty to making false statements to the FBI. He's also reportedly testified that Trump directed him to make contact with Russians on behalf of the campaign. Probably goes without saying but this is huge. It was pretty obvious to everybody this administration has been breaking laws since day one, but now we have definitive proof.

Special Investigator Robert Mueller's face after the news:



Edit: original story reportedly retracted, sources updated.

Currently at -494,000 and still falling. This is in response to the fact that you have to play forever or pay for microtransactions to unlock some characters in Star Wars: Battlefront 2. The schadenfreude is too rich here, might give me diabetes.

IMO everybody should just buy the classic Battlefront 2 on Steam now that they've added new multiplayer.
