    *** Official Video Game Thread ***

    I've not played many computer games in the last six months but I had a go on my mate's PS VR last week - it was absolutely amazing. Not the same picture quality you get from a sharp monitor (can see some pixels) but it was insanely immersive. What impressed me most was the trepidation it...

    Coffee

    I always forget to do the cold brew thing- will give it a shot this weekend. I've been back on tesco coffee this week and its been nothing but disappointment, will have to find something better before then.

    anyone had a problem with their achilles heel

    Just remember that its one part of the yoga that worked for me - the long sessions of stretching and balancing, not the mediation, odd humming or self reflection ;-) also be careful not to overdo it just because you're around other people! I'd also advocate a foam roller and learning how to use...

    anyone had a problem with their achilles heel

    I suffered for plantar fasciitis for years, first time the doctor told me to rest and get supportive insoles so I did. Stopped running and just swam and lifted for three months. It went away but as soon as I ran or even walked it flared back up. I got a referal to a Physio (one session on the...

    Coffee

    Congrats on the new job mate – I’m very jealous of all that free coffee! We have some instant nescafe in our office… I really liked Pact and had tried pretty much everything that had on offer thanks to introducing a lot of people to it, but as good as the coffee was, it was very expensive for...

    Black Friday/Cyber Monday

    You won't see them in these sales until they're obsolete-the only things I could see discounted were competitive things like games which would be discounted in the lead up to Christmas anyway and junk which had obviously been sitting around in a warehouse for eight months because they can't...

    I had it arrive on release day for Xbone but haven’t really had much of a chance to get stuck in yet – maybe 4-5 hours total. Based on that short amount of time though, I’m loving it!

    Laptop advice please...

    What Scara said, but I'd add that you might want to open it up and carefully get all the dust out of the case, as (judging from the fact its been laggy since the start) it might be a cooling issue. Also a lot of these budget, mass made laptops massively skimp on the qa process when it comes to...

    ice baths and the healing power of water

    Well done on getting back on the bandwagon! Ice baths are great, really wonderful at making you feel refreshed after exercise, but… I have no idea what you are talking about, yet again, Gifter – Change the skins isotope back to alkaline? So a cold bath is necessary to change skin at an atomic...

    Son Heung-Min

    The problem with pfs is 'working through it' makes it chronic and cortesone can often make it worse too. Hopefully a months rest and intensive Physio will be enough for him but its a notoriously slow condition to heal and surgery can often make it worse.

    Son Heung-Min

    I've suffered with PFS on and off for years; hopefully with top notch physios rather than the NHS it won't be nearly as problematic for him but not the sort of injury you want a pacey, instinctive player to have...

    London Marathon

    Well, I regularly ran 10 miles up until breaking my foot - I'm months away from that at this point! Still, it was always going to be a challenge anyway!

    London Marathon

    I have but dear ghodd I'm out of shape! First run was a mile in ten minutes and I was dead, ridiculous! I did rebreak my foot though so it was almost five months out. Ran a 5k last week in under 8m30 miles so getting better and should be OK for april. I just always said if I get in I'll want a...
