Nice. An appetiser while I'm waiting for Mass Effect.

It was, but E33 had the prevailing wind.

I realise this one will be more action based, but I'm hopeful that the sandbox of differing choices and approaches will remain.

I was born within a few weeks of Farage, so we share a common school year.
WWII was certainly more present, some of my teachers served. War films were regularly shown on TV.
But one theme was constant, that Hitler was the bad guy...

Broke the rules, paid the price.
If a football player gets a red card that doesn't mean they can never play again. Similar principle.

I agree. I don't believe Israel should have been there in 2024 & 2025. I've being enjoying the competition for over 50 years. The singers don't need this drama and it's naive to believe a singing contest cam operate in a blissful bubble.

There was clearly industrial scale advertising by the Israeli government pushing their song.
But even without that, voting is very vulnerable to partisan behaviour. A country can win Eurovision with 10% of the points because there are so many songs.

No rigging required.
Those who wish to make a vote on political grounds have one song to vote for on one side and those on the other side split their votes 20 ways.
Not a conspiracy, just maths.

So think of the 2nd and 3rd parts of the trilogy as 'big DLC'.
They seem to be totally waiting for the 'next gen'.
They have build their platform for Witcher 4, and 5 & 6 will be content within the same generation.

Two years ago I completed #Whamageddon.

There's some logic here. An interview is only a provisional basis of what an applicant will be like, so something aligned to a probationary period is sensible. There's no need for diligent employers to have an 'easy way out' for two years as currently.

I'm sure it'll find its audience, though it's of no interest to me as I prefer single player.
Helpfully this is not from Guerrilla (other than some IP pointers) so they can still be cracking on with Horizon III.

You ignore it with a new actor.
The series has been running 60 years. Should Bond be 90 years old? No.
Craig's 5-films told a story start to finish.
The next movie will start a new one.

This is fine, so long as they stick to the policy of having actual celebrities...

The BBC is held to high standards of journalism that no-one else is held to.
That's good because the public broadcaster should have high standards.
That's inconsistent because others can more easily broadcast & print any old tripe.

There are occasional elements of bias in specific cases, both left favourable and right favourable.
But more important is supporting an independent fact-based public broadcaster in a world where there are too many partisan news voices and channels.

We know another game is on the way.
If it was closer we might have seen something.
This informs a slightly longer wait. Both are fine.
