I thought this too. I mean, my first impulse would be to do what the airline staff said, assuming they know better because they’ve flown with animals more than I have and it’s their job to know, but if I was aware of the policy of the dog case going under the seat in front of me I would have quoted that at them and…

Wow, are data caps still a thing in some places?

If you’re developing a game for multiple platforms, you’re essentially making one game as far as possible and only doing extra work on the parts that need to be different for each platform. It would be completely redundant to have one person working on modelling a horse and writing some code for the PS4 version and…

Well officially the requirement is 5mbps, so if you can watch Netflix you should be able to use Playstation Now - but yeah, I’ve seen complaints from people with 5-10 times that speed.

it’s a complete separate game being worked on in conjunction of the console version

I live in the UK and wasn’t aware that it was in closed beta when I played a couple of games using a free trial a year ago. For all intents and purposes, it was fully functional - certainly nothing that stopped me from playing, completing - even Platinuming - a couple of games.

Internal or external? Pretty sure they’re all formatted for and encrypted to your individual PS4 so I doubt a PC would be much help. You should be able to use your PS4 to transfer it to your new hard drive, though.

Is it?

Just a reminder to anyone who would like to play Red Dead Redemption smoothly (and officially) on their PC that you can do so using Playstation Now, which is a subscription streaming service.

When you’re a professional actor, acting is your job, and everyone has complaints about their job, it’s just that it’s traditionally part of the business of show to not say anything that might burn a bridge somewhere, so maybe he’s just being refreshingly candid (he is, after all, northern).

And this is a fine example of what is wrong with the target audience for this movie - they think that not liking ‘it’ is the same as not getting ‘it’.

It is, but one cool thing I took away from it is that Tobey Maguire has a brother called Vince, who is a forensic accountant and he is on the case!

I’ve read the book and I hated it for various reasons (all of which and more are covered in the excellent podcast 372 Pages We’ll Never Get Back, which I urge everyone to listen to regardless of whether you’ve read the book or not) and from everything I’ve seen of the movie it seems to be retaining all of those things…

Only the first episode, Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire, unless you count the Tracey Ullman shorts. It certainly isn’t an icon of the ‘80s.

I remain hopeful that it will be, but it could be better than the book and still be terrible.

No, the book went to great lengths to tell us how the Oasis guy was obsessed with the ‘80s but was still filled with references from things from the ‘90s onwards. Apparently The Simpsons, among other things, was a big thing in the ‘80s...

No, read the book, but read it along with the podcast 372 Pages You’ll Never Get Back - because not only will you have a good laugh reading a terrible book, you’ll also be able to explain why it’s terrible at great length the next time someone accuses you of disliking it for no reason, or in an attempt to look cool.

It’s more a case of hating the fact that a movie based on a book that is about as objectively terrible as it’s possible to be is getting so much attention.

I’ve read the book and I hate it on every level. But I still hope the film is good because I’m probably going to give it a try and I’d like to enjoy it.
