The larger ones have lower quality noodles. And the non-cup plastic packets have better noodles. At least that’s how it seems to me. It could well be my imagination.

The problem is it happens suddenly and takes a second to reactivate. If you’re in one of the buildings and dealing with ghosts at that specific moment it runs out, it’s easy to panic and mess up. Having a stopwatch next to me made it easier in that If I had 20 seconds or so left, I’d get somewhere relatively safe and wait.

I remember setting a stopwatch to time the transient curses so I wouldn’t get caught out with the status stopping in the middle of a fight (this happened a few times first resulting in death).

It really reminded me of Death Stranding’s mirror bit.

Long single player slogs that outstay their welcome. I used to love long games when I was younger - I saw it as value for money. Now I don’t have so much time on my hands I give up before I even get halfway.

I was 12 in 1989. I would have only had a Commodore 64 then. As well as some old arcade games at the local off-licence (maybe Double Dragon?). I would have been playing a lot of Bubble Bobble on the Commodore. I don’t think I ever finished it.

I’m paranoid about having anything delivered now after I caught one of the kids in the block opposite trying to steal mail for our block. She was shouting down to the postie, “What flats are you looking for? This is ****** House - bring it in here” and whispering to her little sister “shut the fuck up!” when she tried to tell the postie the truth. ****** The name of our flats.

I should have just bought the bastard digitally. I will if it hadn’t arrived by this evening. I still have weird worries about downloading large files. How large is it?

It had Royal Mail tracking.

I’ve got a suspicion my copy was lost in the post. It was out for delivery at 7am by Royal Mail and hasn’t arrived yet. Do Royal Mail actually deliver until 8pm as Amazon seem to state?

The GTA thing really annoyed me. It’s so lazy and greedy. Couldn’t they at least have made some DLC - or a new game in the same environment?

Or they’ll just want you to purchase them again.

I don’t intend to get either at launch. Later on, it depends on the price and what games are available.

I don’t like it. It probably won’t stop me from buying it - the price will do that as I’m a bit skint and can’t justify a new console anyway.
