Second time this season no? And with my Leicester side, and Forest also catching heat it looks like the Premier League is taking this stuff very seriously.

I'm thinking that no, it doesn't. Which begs the question of why we do it? Is it a psychological thing?

Although not very handy for me because I live in the midlands. I didn't want to see it anyway. Nope. Looks like another evening of sitting on social media and regretting my life choices. Sigh.

Morning all. It's Monday morning which can mean but one thing....What have you been playing this last week?

How are we feeling about this?

The game won't have a performance/quality mode at launch, but you will be allowed to tweak a little if you're playing on PC.

Now obviously it's not the worst thing in the world, and I'm sure many will be perfectly fine playing at 30, but I can't help but be disappointed by this news.

On a personal level I'll always go with the framerate over graphical fidelity; oftentimes the differences between the visuals in a quality mode just don't justify the loss of that smooth 60FPS, although I'm willing to grant that mileage may vary on that one.

I understand the constant want to improve visuals. They go a long way towards selling a game to it's audience, but I wish we'd gotten to a point where you could 1) have a conversation about the importance of FPS without appearing like a snob and 2) allow devs to prioritize 60FPS over graphical fidelity.

So yeah???

I've got two kids and it feels like at least two of the four of us has had a cold going back to mid-december.

I've had this cough thing for the last few days, figured I was over the worst of it...until I woke up this morning with a horrifically blocked nose; been sneezing and blowing my nose since. Will it ever end?

Monday! The long weekend is nearly over and if you're anything like our house you've eaten nothing but meat, potatoes and chocolate. And maybe, just maybe you've managed to find some time over the last seven days to play some videogames!

Let us know what you've been playing over the last seven days.

There's a good crossover between the best Rugby nations and the best Cricketing nations; I'm assuming this is down to good old fashioned British colonialism?

Which leads me to wonder why Rugby never gained the same level of support in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka as it did in New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and Fiji.

Or am I totally wrong and the two things aren't remotely related?

Hello, Good morning and welcome to another fine edition of What We're Playing; our weekly round up everything that's kept us glued (or not) to our TV screens, desktop monitors, portable displays and whatever else you crazy kids are playing games on these days.

So, what have you been playing over the last seven days?

I'll kick us off I guess.

The Kings of Leon song about one's 'Sex being on fire'? Yeah I have no idea what that means. What does 'your sex is on fire mean'?

But business groups said more needed to be done to get more people into work amid concerns over the UK's long-term weak economic growth.

Hmmm. Maybe better pay, better conditions and improvements to our work/life balance could do the trick here....nah it's the workers who are lazy.

I'm 35.

I left school at 16. Did a year at collage before deciding it wasn't for me. I then spent a year doing nothing. Not totally unusual for a 17/18 year old. I then spent 15 years working for the same company, without any gaps in my employment.

To say I was surprised when the interviewer asked about the gap in my resume from 15 years previous when I'm a 34 year old would be an understatement; it was literally half a lifetime ago.

Fifteen years at the same company bro, that's the important part of that résumé, not the 8 months that a 17 year old kid had off. Fuck me.

The problem here isn't that libraries need to stop catering to parents with young kids, it's that they've not set up an appropriate space, or time for these little kids to come visit.

My local library (and lots in the UK) have a designated time for things like group reading and kids corner sessions. That way they're not disturbing random folks just trying to get about their day, and they're also giving what can be a vital space for young children to discover books, and parents to interact with other parents.

Sounds to me like your library is failing to enforce it's own rules.

At what point do we have to have a serious conversation about just what sort of work we can expect a 70 year old to be able to do?

It's all well and good raising the retirement age, but eventually you'll get to a point where you've got people who are simply unemployable because of their age.

No one has any idea what they're doing.

I'm 35. I've got two kids. I make it up as I go along. There's no plan, no blueprint. There's just the day to day crap that life has for us all. I wake up, I go to work and my only real aim is to get home to my kids and partner.

If you're forced to rent because you can't get on the housing ladder, you should be allowed to have an animal as a pet. Full stop. That's the sentence.

If the landlord doesn't like that it may affect their investment, well... sometimes investments go bad. Might I suggest selling the house and investing in a market that isn't built around the exploitation of regular people trying to not die on the street.

Just sayin'.

Can't wait to not be able to buy one of these for the next five years.

It's amazing to me how many Tory MPs are looking for an exit when it looks like they're set to lose their seat. Almost like being an MP and representing your constituents is second to earning a big bucket of cash with a job in government or as a consultant for some dodgy company looking for influence.

Man's been selling this story for at least 3 years.

I'll tell my youngest child the bad news I guess. He's gotta go.

Looks like the Dev is looking to add a lifetime option and an option to remove ads in the future.
