Damn, posted it earlier in the When Will It End thread. Realised it should have been here. Not really been following this one.

Anyway, here's my social distancing strategy.

 

What a mighty fine weapon you have there, sir! By which I mean 'The Cleansing' Stihl chainsaw. Aagh, I notice that you have the 'Axe of Justice' too in your armament. Delightful.

No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks!

Alice Rules!   Schools out!   Or is it?😉

That was the end of term tune I used to blast out from my lab. Still love it!

PS4 finally arrived. I got a PS now subscription which includes a load of games, plus the following:

-Uncharted Trilogy (free)

-Journey (free)

-Dark Souls III

-Nioh

-God of War

 

There's a big sale happening right now so is there anything else people would recommend getting before it ends? Is Final Fantasy XV any good?

Just start playing God of War. You won’t need anything else for a while.

Don’t fret too much about the PSN sales. They’re very frequent and usually the same games and same discounts.

The FFVII Remake is utterly brilliant too.

Will definitely be looking at getting the remake when it's cheaper.

Any multiplayer games you'd recommend?

He'd claim it was more than that, the box wouldn't have been absolutely jam packed to the top, so technically there's capacity for an additional 1,531 food items.

Yeah, he'd probably say that the box can be eaten too, so there's another meal accounted for.

Yeah I've noticed they've got some old school adventure games on there like that, Grim Fandango, and Day of the Tentacle. Might give them a try sometime!

Of course ... it’s a kind of where’s wally type lockdown time capsule ..

Video calls are  very good and all however some people really don't have a clue. A couple of people at work haven't realised that if you sit in front of a window with your back facing it then people on the call will just see your face in shadow. Close the curtains, it's not hard.

Last few days have been not great and last night someone telling me I’d be stupid to leave my flat before a vaccine  was found wasn’t brilliant .. they worked in nhs frontline ... I won’t be able to remain here for the next year I’m sure of that
