How is earning more going to help unless you save? If you’re earning $1,000 a month and saving $500 of it you’re better off than someone who’s earning $10,000 a month and spending it frivolously. So, sure, try to earn as much as you can, but then make your money work for you - either save or invest it, or a bit of…

Yeah, I don’t plan to retire (which I figure is a safe plan, as if I planned on it I might be disappointed). I think the key is to find a kind of work that you like and are passionate about and can scale down/semi-retire from, because not only will that give me a steady trickle of income during ‘retirement’ but it…

9 million? That’s a huge difference. Almost twice the population of the state!

I love The Goonies. I’m not old enough to have seen it in the cinema but I saw it on TV at just the right age to be captivated by the idea of a group of kid friends finding a real treasure map and going to find the treasure, and I think it still holds up for an adult audience today because it’s still a great story…

Same here. I’ve got a list of things I love/can remember from the ‘80's with no plot connecting them in my head - why do I need this? I did make it to the end of the book but all I remember from it is ZORK! ZORK! ZORK! ZORK! ZORK! which just made me want to play Zork.

It’s in 4K and the loading screen mini games that have not been present in any version since the PS2 version have been restored.

The whole thing is nothing but references so the more references the better.

All I remember from the book is -

The book was great

Halo Wars 2

I love how everyone assumed you didn’t own a Wii U. I’ve also got Bayonetta 1 + 2 on the Wii U so I feel you, Wii U brother. I’m getting a Switch for Christmas and it’s made me realise how many great games I’ve still got to finish on the Wii U.

Well Bayonetta 2 was/is a Wii U exclusive (with a Switch port coming) so this is hardly surprising. But the first game really did benefit from being ported to other platforms so hopefully the second and third follow suit, even if it’s years later. Although, with the success of the Switch it’s probably not that likely.

I haven’t got one yet but, if I had bought one at launch, I would pretty much have only used it for playing Zelda - because most of that ridiculous number of good games I already own on other platforms.

Wait, you mean I played the best game of 2017 on a 5 year old flop of a console that I’ve otherwise hardly played in the 3 years I’ve owned it?

VI?! I somehow missed Soul Calibur III, IV and V!

You say ‘special’ as if it means ‘new’. It may be ‘just another open world game’ but then so is Zelda and that won a bunch of awards. It’s not about doing something new, it’s about doing what they do exceedingly well, and both games are special in that regard. So it’s a shame that Horizon didn’t win anything at all.

I agree. I love Zelda and have played Breath of the Wild on Wii U and loved it and am going to get a Switch for Christmas and play it all over again (with DLC) and I haven’t even played Horizon: Zero Dawn yet (will hopefully get that at Christmas as well) but I’m still surprised it didn’t win anything. Just looking at…

Yeah. “Poor Brendan” is my refrain whenever I think of or someone mentions Making a Murderer. I hope the conviction is ultimately overturned and, perhaps more importantly, he gets the help and support he’ll need to reintegrate into society.

every Jurassic Park sequel should be the same thing: A new group of strangers approach Jeff Goldblum and suggest they’re thinking about going to Jurassic Park, and Goldblum says, “Are you nuts? Don’t go there. A bunch of dinosaurs live there, and dinosaurs like to kill people. Believe me, I know,”

I’m not too bothered about the fact that it’s still in Early Access because, even if it gets a full release in 2018, it’s still going to be remembered as a 2017 game because this is the year it exploded. What bothers me is that it started off as a mod for a game, then became a game mode in another game, and then a…
