Our Picks

It happens to us all, we hear a good or annoying song and it just gets stuck in your head which is all you can hear. Do you have one stuck in your head right now or recently?

UK Music - with a particular emphasis on rap - has been growing a lot now and is one of the genres that I listen the most to. I particularly enjoy their music not just in a musical sense (such as because of the beat or the instrumental) but in a lyrical sense in some cases as it highlights the problems of racism, discrimination and other issues such as drugs that unfortunately still occur in this time. Stormzy and Dave are just two I can say that have their music talk and highlight such issues in their songs. Stormzy has also been known for his philanthropist acts such as his donations to anti-racism causes and the "Stormzy scholarship" for upto 2 black students who go to Cambridge University. 
 
Here are some of the albums that I have enjoyed listening too. These are in no particular order/preference and I listen to and these are just a few of the many bits of UK music I listen to. 

Heavy is the Head - Stormzy: His most recent album that released in Dec 2019. I personally love Lessons, Superheros, Rainfall and Own it (no particular order).
 

Big Conspiracy - J Hus: Also his most recent album that came out in Jan 2020. I personally like Must Be, One and Only, Deeper than Rap and Love, Peace and Prosperity. 
 

Psychodrama - Dave: Came out in Mar 2019. Black (one of my favourite), Purple Heart, Location, Voices and Disaster. 
 
Some other mentions include No Words (Dave),  Repeat (J Hus), Stinking Rich (MoStack), Respect and Love (MoStack) and Cold (Stormzy).
 
I have listened to drill before but sort of moved on from that now. This was like from last year until recently this year. Don't really listen anymore to drill
I'd love to hear other people's opinions on this type of music. First time listeners and those that already listen. And they don't have to be from the ones that I have already mentioned above. 

Are there any other fans of Lenovo here? I have 2 PC's that are Lenovo and they have both worked well and been good to me for a few years now.   I have a PC that my eldest son uses now in his room that I bought some years ago and it's still running and performing great, and my laptop which my boyfriend purchased for me years ago is still running smoothly. It had a few hiccups but i'm pretty sure that was mostly software side and not hardware. Luckily, both have been very good to me in terms of reliability and overall stability and performance.  What are your thoughts on Lenovo as a computer brand? Would you ever buy them? Recommend them? 

Do you listen to music on Spotify, do you listen to particular lists or do you just listen to random songs? 

I personally love mine : grilled, bbq or with the teriyaki sauce. How about you? 

For those that know a bit about me, you definitely have seen or heard me mention this game a lot and I will continue to do so. It's a great game and if you are a fan of FPS games like CSGO, then Valorant will also be something that you enjoy. I'll admit, I wasn't really a fan of FPS games and didn't really play any of them (except a few CSGO games a while back) until Valorant came out. I already played League of Legends and thought it would be worth a try to check out this game by Riot Games. I will also say, at first I didn't really know much about the game and to be honest I still don't. But, I have improved a lot and enjoy learning the new agents and the strategy involved behind it.
 

How long does it typically take you to edit one of your videos? 

All the videos I ever use get put up on YouTube back in the day does get edited (gaming vids mostly). They can be from 10mins to 45mins long and editing can be a pain. Also, I like to show everything, not just what I want people to see. If I did edit though, I feel like it would take me days to do one video. It's one of the boring parts of vlogging.

What software do you use to record your screen to make gameplay videos etc.

So which one do you use?

If you enjoy doing hunting, this is the number one recommended game to look at. Graphics are out of this world and it's very supported game with allot of DLCs to get with the game. I have 50 hours, not allot compare to my other friends hat has over 300 hours, I was just not that good.
 
Great game to come together and hunt and beat each other scoring  

League of Legends is a multiplayer MOBA that has been around for ages now. It's a pretty good game once you get used to the champions, mechanics, roles, runes and maps. However, if you are new to these type of games then it may take some time to get used to the techniques League of Legends require. You can play 5v5 on the Summoners Rift map (Normal, Draft or Ranked) which is the most common and popular mode. Ranked is split into Solo/Duo and Flex (parties upto 5 people excluding 4). You can also play ARAM which is a much shorter game as the map is one lane called Howling Abyss with random champions. There was also the 3v3 mode for normal and ranked called Twisted Treeline but that's gone now.
 

Bus Simulator, like the name suggests, is a simulator that will see you create new routes around an area, run a bus company and drive the routes. Have you played it? And what platform do you play it on?

I love it and have been playing it since 7-8 years old on my old Game Boy Advance. I currently have it on the Wii. I usually go for Princess Peach and the rainbow circuit.

Anyone here play Valkyria Chronicles games on the PS4? The first one as a remaster and number 4 can both be played on PS4.

How long do you spend online with the GTA online service? Is it more than you should or would you rather spend more time on it?

Have you booked an holiday for this summer and had it cancelled or reallocated to another date due to covid? 

While playing online, do you ever get trolled or messed with by other GTA players?

So does anyone here use PS Now? It's a service where it streams video games to your console for a rather high price.

It's a thought I've had on my mind for a while really. Over the last few years at least, I've been getting a feeling that games have been getting just more and more stale with an air of obviousness about them, Maybe it's because I've been playing games for awhile and I just get the general formula of things but it seems most new games out nowadays are simply open-world games, first-person shooters or yet another 'make your own choice' adventure style game. I haven't actually felt something that made me sit up since I first played GTA V all those years ago and since then, nothing has really 'caught' me. RDR2 was the last game that really game me a glimmer of that feeling but other than that it's been a sad sad time.
 
Do you think games are getting stale? Or am I just a big misery guts?

Mine is Mario Kart hands down. I love them all and have tried them all too. But my personal favorites are the ones on the GameCube, the Wii and the GBA. I'm pretty retro too when it comes to gaming.

I’ve played it a few times at a friend’s house on her GameCube in high school. But I’ve had to quit because she’s moved away from me a long time ago currently. I quite enjoy playing as Ike and Princess Peach and with my friends in high school only though as I only have a GBA and a Wii myself as consoles.

My Anti-Virus is due to expire in 21 days time. I have Norton Security Standard, should I renew or look for an alternative? What would everyone here recommend and why?  If anyone here uses Malwarebytes, please could leave a short review about your experience with the service as I'm considering this Anti-Malware/Virus program. 

Friends now want to join Gym but before join wanna ask Question which Circle in my mind Which biggest mistakes people make at the gym?
That,s why i want to ignore in the start mistakes i have no idea about it..

 

What features or accessories do you want to see come out with PS5?

For you guys pretty used to play online and make new characters, it might be a no brainer, but the game is pretty big and sometimes can end up spending money in the wrong kind of objects and missing opportunities to get some stuff for your character that could really give them a boost. So I am sure new players looking forward to playing online would benefit from hearing your experiences with rookie mistakes and your advice on what can work in their favour.

What is the stuff you consider should be of the first things that a person new to the game should get?
