A 13yo kid has become the first person to ever "complete" Tetris. IE progress the game to a point where it crashes due to not being designed to be played until that point.

The video is actually pretty interesting and goes to show that some people really do have too much time on their hands

Five nights at Freddie's PS4. What's this about?

These things appear, apparently at random, and you are dead. Otherwise you shut the doors, the power runs out, then these things appear and you are dead.

The cameras that are supposed to help don't always.

Is this a huge wind up?

My daughter and her mates are obsessed with this game. Her mate went the cinema like 10 times to see the film. I thought the film was awful..

I completed it again in the last couple years on an emulator, just wanted to get that nostalgia hit of the last level. Spent so long trying to finish it with my brothers. Weirdly Gremlins 2 is another strong memory. Snake Rattle & Roll, Battletoads, Marble Madness and Low G Man too. More so than Mario really even tho I loved all 3. Don't think we ever owned a Mario game on NES, all borrowed from kids at school. Swapping games

Snake rattle and roll was class. Marble madness was simple but could get mad high scores on.
I can remember Gremlins 2 being insanely hard with these mad floor spikes. Turtles took about 4 hours or something to complete. One of the hardest games going

Well, I only bought it when I saw they had made a film.

I have only ever survived 1 of the 5 nights. Get to about 4 am on night 2 if I am lucky.

No idea what's going on ...

Very surprised it had the impact it did, that and Slenderman were things I played post uni and thought they were garbage. Turns out I was wrong.

Right, let's give this a go.

Currently toying with starting a Geforce Now account as my main PC is currently sporting a 2080Ti which is a fine GPU but Geforce Now is looking seriously good.

I will smash you all on rocket league. No contest.

This looks interesting.
One of the devs was behind Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs, Dear Esther and Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture. So they should have the atmosphere and environmental storytelling on point.

Sir, you will eat my burning rubber as I do wheelies on your hopes and dreams.

You missed out on the Atari and the NES. You can't call yourself the complete gamer until you go back and finish at least 2-3 games on each of those consoles, FFS!

Anybody have an ETA on the new Alan Wake? The first one kept being delay and it took years before it eventually got released.

By the time it came out, I had lost my enthusiasm for it, and it was just another game to play and finish.

They better not f'up the sequel!

Is that the game on the Fortnite game? My daughter got me to download Fortnite but the driving game on there is much better..

Put a solid dig into BG3 over Christmas - phenomenal game. tbf I haven't played a turn-based rpg since OG FF7, so if you told me BG3 was derivative and incremental I'd be none the wiser, but loving this playthrough.

Picked balanced which was definitely a good idea early game, as I had no idea how to play and was getting mullered by gangs of goblins. I've now gotten things straightened out and am taking charge.

Does feel like a one playthrough for me - very story driven and I am basically compelled to open every crate and chest. The party system is also very effective at giving you different playstyles - I hadn't appreciated what a great mechanic this would be.

If you're talking about Alan Wake 2 then it came out in October. Got great reviews too. Will probably be my next game.

Alan Wake II Reviews

Shed some light on what has long been obscured by darkness. After 11 long years, the writer's return is a reality and the dangers lurking in the dark are even more sinister than the Taken roaming Bright Falls. Alan Wake 2 turns up the level of dread as our very first dive into the survival...
