In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Not been able to play Diablo ffs!
Seems to be back on
But I've fired up the PS3 this time..

Yeah I'm not risking it now tonight, cba playing Diablo for it to keep getting dc'd.
Err, DDOS attack, botnets, and hoax bomb threats to an airline? I think a bit more than grounded will happen to these fecknuts.
No TV?!?!?
No Toy in their happy meals either.
LizardSquad are just taking credit for the attack, the real culprit is supposedly a guy/group called FamedGod, they put out a YouTube video an hour ago.
This is all hilarious 
Ok, both VITA and PS3 stores are now working for me. No luck with PS4.
I think it's a smokescreen. I mean many people are capable of basic attacks like this and get away with it. A number of people on this site alone could, including you and I.
The plane thing is interesting, but seriously, if this was a real group with real abilities, why hit such soft targets? It doesn't make sense.
I beat inFamous: Second Son today. Pretty happy about that as it was a terrific play through. Last week was the first time I'd play it since March 23rd. So I beat the game in basically a week. Gonna get 100% here soon then maybe play through again as an evil bastard.
So I succumbed I preordered the white PS4 bundle with Destiny and TLOU. I haven't played any of those games, I hope you gimps are spot on with the hype.
Also as a PC gamer, I've been a bit out of the loop with regards to console games. Anything else worth picking up? Fifa 15 will be a given, I have no interest in COD.
Is Assassins Creed Black flag worth it?

I'm really enjoying it. There are lots of things to do, but the main thing is that they are actually fun to do. True, there are still some annoying 'follow / eavesdrop' missions, but the sailing is fun, the naval battles are great, and the missions / activities on the many islands are also good fun.
You have complete freedom as to what to do - so if you want to attack other ships to steal their cargo and improve your own ship you can, if you want to search for the various buried treasures you can, or if you want to tackle the many assassination missions, you can do that too. That is all, of course, in addition to the main story.
I think the element I most enjoy are the stealth elements. These factor in missions, but also the assassination and warehouse-raiding side missions. Sneaking through the bushes and plotting your route, whilst silently killing the various guards hasn't gotten old yet
I've noticed more and more that I am preferring the open world games, as opposed to more linear games. In that regard, ACIV doesn't disappoint - plus it looks fantastic on the PS4.
Just finished Battlefields campaign, was pretty shit but then I guess that's not what it's for.
Last of Us was so good I'm considering the DLC.

Destiny could possibly be completed in a few hours given the info given so far. The multiplayer is nothing special, from the beta.
Heavily DLC based.
Destiny's an MMO. There's no 'completing' it, really. It's a case of how often they crack out new end game content, which I assume will be quite often if they're not charging any subscription for it.
To echo Cina, I heard it was essentially a borderlands-style MMO based on gearing and doing instances. That's whats drawn me towards it.
Sounds good. Just realised its cheaper on the PC so I might just pick it up on that....providing its not another godawful Ubisoft port.I'm really enjoying it.

Huh? How is that possible? I put in more hours than that on the first day of the alpha, let alone beta...
And I take it you mean the competitive multiplayer? it's not to everyone's liking (@Glock17 hated it) but until you try the full package I wouldn't write it off... I thought it was great personally.
So any console exclusives to look out for in the future? Bearing in mind I have a gaming PC.
Yeah, I can't imagine anyone playing the multiplayer as a standalone. It's a supplement to the PvE where you would likely only play it if you want to progress your guy, get loot for him, test his stuff etc. It's playable - but there's nothing innovative about it, and other games do it all better.
It plays like a COD game where everyone just runs around and it comes down to who sees who first, there's very little skill on show. But COD has better mechanics **(tighter controls, solid hit detection, 60fps)** whilst Destiny loses in those aspects. Any fans of COD who dislike Ghosts will likely put it down to the huge and open maps which is something that Destiny incorporates. There just isn't enough rooms, enough corridors, enough corners for that type of gameplay.
The game will definitely suffer from being overhyped like Titanfall in terms of public opinion I think. They've been careful to not call it an MMO cause it's not quite there. People are expecting it to have a great multiplayer and I'm sorry but I can't see general opinion being that it's more than sufficient. People say they had a good time but there's nothing about it to make it lasting - it'll only last because of the PvE alongside it. I'm glad for the beta because I readjusted my expectations for it and know what I want from it. I was incredibly let down by the multiplayer but I'm now buying the game with no hope for it.. if it can prove me wrong and I get into it then it's a massive bonus.
I expect it'll have a fairly shit story too, as these games often do. It'll be sufficient to support the whole exploring, raids, social elements of the game.
The PvE stuff is great though, as long as you have friends to play with. It's just Borderlands; it's going around killing a shit load of enemies and getting a shiny new weapon every so often which can be mega enjoyable even if a bit mindless.
** - obviously comparing COD to a beta of the game. Perhaps they can improve in those areas.

Don't have much faith in Bungie do you?
It's amazing really because he's a Halo nut, is really looking forward to the Master Chief Collection, and trusts 343i to the hilt to make Halo 5 decent. Go figure.......
You can't really compare this to COD though. COD gamers are very much their own demographic - they only really play COD for the most part. They don't have the patience for slower shooters with bigger maps and a longer TTK, as well as the considerable PVE emphasis in games like Destiny or Borderlands.
Might as well compare Drive Club to Mario Kart.
I agree with Glock for a change, I don't see Destiny PvP being very popular to be honest. And that is what a lot of people will buy it for. I played it and to be honest even though I did decent at it. There's too many load outs and fecking around to do. And what class to choose.
Why can't developers make shooters, where you all carry the same default weapon and fight for power weapons on the map?
I think it will end up like Titanfall unless they update the content daily. Which Bungie were good at for Halo online. But Activision wouldn't want it to be just flavour of the month considering the money they have spent on it.

But it's fair to use it as a frame of reference by @Glock17 there though I think. If technically it's worse, it is noticeable by someone playing something tighter.
Last time I played a COD, the technical side in terms of the gun mechanics seemed fine (if not particularly noteworthy), but on the other side something like Infinite was shockingly poor. Comparing shooters on that level is fair game to me.
Of course they could tighten it all up, but stuff like that isn't always done this late in the game, if they even see it as a problem at all.

The main PS4 Exclusives that people are looking forward to that'll be out soon are, Driveclub (October), The Order 1886 (February), Bloodborne (Early 2015? not too sure about the release date on that one)
No Man's Sky will be a timed PS4 exclusive too but I don't think that'll be getting released anytime within the next year.
As far as I know this is a list of announced games that are either first to next-gen console (timed or PC as well), only on Sony consoles (so includes PS3 and VITA), or only on PS4 full stop. I've underlines those published by Sony.

Thanks Weaste, pretty formidable list that.
Didn't realise a Hotline Miami sequel was so soon away, I bleeding loved the first game
Disappointing that Sega have announced another Yakuza and it doesn't ever look likely it will come to the US/UK again. The new one will be set in the 80s too.
Yakuza 3 and 4 were two of my favourite games from last gen.

I really do hate Sega. First they prematurely kill the Shenmue series, and now they're shafting Western gamers as they've always historically done. Its one of those big gaming names I hope wither away into nothing and have their IPs swallowed up by other companies that at least pretend to give half a shit.
Planetside 2 has been confirmed to be within 2014, then again they only have 4 months left...
To be fair they could drop that at any time considering it is F2P.
PlanetSide 2 would be interesting.
I liked it on PC but I couldn't stand the vehicle controls. I might actually be able to fly something on the DualShock 4 without unintentionally kamikazi-ing within 5 seconds of being in the air.

-the story takes place in December 1988
-2 main characters: Kiryu Kazuma and Majima Goro
-Kiryu is 20 years old who is living off part time job (tokyo)
-Majima Goro is 24 years old (osaka)
-the story eventually leads to Ryu ga gotoku 1, so you will see lots of characters from Ryu ga gotoku 1
I'd kill to play that game, fecking Sega.
Is it currently undergoing maintenance for anyone else?
The game that nobody wanted localised in Dead Souls they released here.
Releasing it right at the beginning of a consoles life cycle would be their best chance of gaining sales. Zero could get good sales in the West if they marketed it right.
Yes
