I never encounter YouTube ads on the PC thanks to adblocker but they seemed to have tripled the amount of adverts that appear on Xbone and doubled their lenth. Its incredibly annoying.

Also I'm pretty sure before this shit started happening, if I was in a playlist they wouldn't interrupt you with ads which us not the case any more.

I got pretty fucking excited for this, was just about the last thing I expected. I need to go back and finish the first Ni No Kuni but I don't really want to get the PS3 out.

After the bombcast discussion this week that gave everyone an aneurism, I think I'm done hearing about Dan and Taco Bell.

@thephantomstranger: Yup, Mark Hamill doing the Joker voice will immediately and always send me into fits of joy. I wish that dude did that voice forever.

I'd say overall this years show was OK. It had some nice trailers/surprises, the Iwata segment was nice and there were a lot more awards given out this year then usual which is neat to see. However as usual it was packed full of dumb marketing/social bullshit (necessary I'm sure but also lame as hell), Jade Raymond's bit was a clusterfuck and finally as with anything involving large swathes of the gaming industry it was extremely cringey at times.

All in all it was worth it for the trailers/surprises and awards but parts of it were totally un-watchable.

It's neat to see this get a PC port and a remaster but its not the announcement we really wanted. As someone who played through Shadow Complex at least twice when it first came out and tried going back to it with the backwards compatibility I have to say its not aged that great. At the very least its good to see Shadow Complex getting some much needed attention from Chair.

£3.3m is a lot to ask for a Kickstarter project. Especially when its the second time you are asking for that amount and your third Kickstarter. Since its Psychonauts I'm sure it'll get funded but they are burning a lot of goodwill going with another Kickstarter. Its clear as well that this is probably being done to help Fig get off the ground as besides its original announcement I've heard nothing of it since. A huge project like this will get eyeballs on that website and since Tim is an advisor on Fig it makes sense its there and not Kickstarter

Personally, I'm kinda interested in a new Psychonauts. I played the original a lot although I never beat it, however it never really grabbed me. It was never hilarious to me, it seemed clever more then anything. Also it kinda played crappy back then so It'll be extremely interesting to see how a new one plays this time around.

Ok everyone, what are your thoughts on Star Wars: Battlefront?

So far its been pretty fucking cringey, so you know pretty typical for the games industry.

Listening to the last bombcast it sounded like Fallout 4 might struggle as it sounded like most of the guys hadn't continued with it, also Jeff will be pretty heavy on its technical faults which don't get the same free pass this time like Skyrim did thanks to Brad.

I also wonder if the likes of Dying Light or MKX will creep on somewhere.

1. Mario Maker - its the best level creator ever, Dan and Jeff are extremely high on it

2. MGS5 - Sounds like almost all the staff besides Alex and Vinny played it to completion. Lack of story and post release bullshit hampers it.

3. Bloodborne - Thanks to the DLC its fresh in everyone's mind and thanks to the DLC its an even better package

4. Splatoon

5. Rocket League

6. Rise of the Tomb Raider

7. Undertale

8. Until Dawn

9. MKX - Might just sneak if they remember it.

10. The Witcher 3 - Should be in the top 3 but lack of anyone finishing it kills it
