I think you can finish the game without getting the dash ability. It's in a section that was added to the Definitive Edition. I spoke too soon when defending the escape sections. Second one was fine but the Mount Horu one was sadistic. No fun at all, and almost undid all the goodwill I had towards the game. I managed it in the end, then went back to find all of the orb things. Goodwill restored, looking forward to Will of the Wisps.

I've only done the water one but I totally disagree. Where's the tension in finishing something first time? By the time I'd finished it my heart rate must have been 140. Each time I'd get a little further, the previous bits would get a little easier but you still have the pressure of getting through them and then negotiating what comes next. But without any time to take it in. Completing it felt like a real relief, and like I'd met a genuine challenge.

Yes, I did this yesterday with 2 x three month passes. Converted to four months of GPU.

One bit that springs to mind is on Delta Halo, a fair way in. You take a gondola thing and the flood ambush you on the other side - several waves of them. Properly frustrating. Most of it was fine, it just felt like the difficulty ramped up in some sections.

I did the same and really enjoyed it. The only issue I had was that some sections were punishingly difficult (on Heroic). I'm re-playing 4 at the moment. It's so much better than I remembered. Probably because the Covenant appear a lot more than I'd thought. The Prometheans are still a bit rubbish.

Yep, first three episodes, in line with what's been shown on Sky

Season 5 starts on the 28th, after Curb

It's on Sky on the 28th. It'll be on the new Sky Comedy channel, launching on the 27th. Should be on Now TV straight away.

Love a bit of BT. Especially Loving You More, Primordial Sound Mix and the Spirit of Grace mix of Not Over Yet. I remember Pete Tong playing all 12 minutes of it for the first time on the Essential Selection. Amazing tune. I also love this one - Delphinium Days mix of Blue Skies. Heard John Digweed play it in an Essential Mix from the Phoenix Festival in 1996. Took me ages to find it (on the 2-disc version of Ima). A bit of an aside but look at the tracklist of that Phoenix set - amazing. 1. (00:00) Chakra - I Am (Bedrock Mix) [Jackpot] 2. (08:00) Palefield Mountain - On My Way [Stress] 3. (14:50) Robbers Of Antiquity - Phosphene Dream [Belief Systems] 4. (23:00) Squelch - Crash [Jackpot] 5. (32:10) Slacker - Flying [Loaded] 6. (37:40) The Light - Pan Fried [AAA] 7. (41:00) Humate & Rabbit In The Moon - East (Rabbit In The Moon Remix) [Rising High] 8. (49:00) Goldie Vs Rabbit In The Moon - Inner City Life [FFRR] 9. (56:40) BT feat Tori Amos - Blue Skies [Perfecto] 10. (66:00) Angeles - Its Alive [Perfecto]

Yello's 'Oh Yeah' is featured in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. As is...

Maybe it's genuinely an absolute stinker...

Were any forumites at Fabric yesterday? @todos, I saw your name in a reply on Sasha's Twitter feed and recognised it from here. Anyway, was absolutely cracking. Haven't been to a club in years. 4pm to midnight seems ideal for the, er, slightly more mature crowd with jobs and kids.

Saw them in Oxford tonight. Amazing. They had a bloke playing the organ behind them at one point.

Doesn't look like it. This is what came up when I just searched for 'Deuce' ☹️
