I did fly over Calshot Spit. That was nice, but felt no need to hang about. Buzzing the M27 was fun.

Is that the Microsoft One??

545

Yeah, it is very very clever. And demanding.

546

Is it also very expensive, or is it very free?

Tempted but I get told off already for being on the computer too muchā€¦

Hmmm, last new game I played was Death Stranding, havenā€™t played any of those games.

553

If I had to pick one of those for you, it might be Hades.

Superficially, it looks a lot like Diablo and games of the action RPG ilk.

The mechanics underneath it are completely different. You get to level a lot of passive skills up permanently. The active skills you have change every game, rolled at random each time you receive a boon.

As a consequence, itā€™s almost endlessly replayable whereas the likes of Diablo get very stale on a second run. Switch or a modern PC will run it. Not out on other platforms yet, weirdly.

Iā€™ve become Colin Hunt from the Fast Show.

Iā€™ve gained the olinh, obviously.

Anyone remember Road Rash?

This is Road Redemption, a spiritual successor.

Sounds like the latest PS5 drop has been carnage - literally

Apparently a retail bot called Carnagebot registered 2000 checkouts on the Game site

I am surprised that Sony didnā€™t give priority to PSplus subscribers - that way a console could have been linked to the account and would have saved most of this bother

I really donā€™t know what they can do, it needs sites like eBay and CEX and their like to ban re-selling of Consoles on release.

But of course that means that eBay and CEX and their like wonā€™t make lots of money out of it either, donā€™t forget eBay charge 10% for each sale, thatā€™s a lot of money in anyoneā€™s eyes.

CEX will buy a PS5 Disc for Ā£625 and sells for Ā£815ā€¦

Maybe is the tied the consoles to a PS account for 6 months
