    Any ideas chaps?

    I'm thinking of getting back into Xbox gaming.

    Got COD for Xmas and finished campaign mode within 3 days.

    Addictive as fook.

    Any other distractions?

    (other than beer as the cans are staying in the fridge for a while)

    The way Ashley is pissing around I think you could go to any beach and start counting the grains of sand and have more of a chance completing that before any sale goes ahead.

I've just finished Terry mac's autobiography and I'm currently sitting listen to talk sport and watching sky sports news on a continuous loop waiting for breaking news....

    Have you ever walked 500 miles?
    Were you advised to walk 500 more?
    If so, you could qualify for compensation.
    Ring the Pro Claimers now on 500 500 500.

    Getting snippets of positive news gossip doesn't help. They're just teases.

    Wooch is still there, 'liking' all my posts. Which just reinforces how sad he is <laugh>

    Xbox One for me, really takes the attention away. Fallout 4 just saps the hours away, it's brilliant, with the added bonus of mentally preparing you for the inevitable post-nuclear world we'll all* live in. On top of that, the likes of Mass Effect 2, 3 and - latterly - Andromeda really can suck you in, as does The Witcher 3. Grand Theft Auto V, goes without saying, is about the best there is.

    *about 1% of the world's population will survive.

    Failing that, masturbation.

    Literally all this, and a final fantasy 12 remake i picked up. **** game mechanics, but aesthetically pleasing.

    I'm rarely playing any of those though as i get my arse handed to me on FIFA's ultimate team on a regular basis because I dont spend any actual money on me team, bit like Newcastle really.

    I've realised the only way to see us buy somebody this Jan is by playing footy manager, which I intend to boot up today.

    Asteroids on the iPad. Retro gaming at its cheapest (79p) and best. Spent hours on it setting a new world record.
