In terms of characters, I think they're going for the idea that this is Mass Effect, but not as you know it. That the characters who agreed to leave the Milky Way behind and start over in Andromeda are mostly outcasts and rogues, and so you'll meet Turians who are anarchists and that. And Peebee rejecting whatever her Asari name was to go by that is an aspect of that concept. Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves, like.

Thanks everyone. The worst part was telling Xavier, he's only 12 years old and he's never really lost anyone in his life before (his Maternal Grandfather died when he was 3, but they hadn't seen each other for a year or so before that (they're a family that falls out sometimes), so he has no memories of him). And most of my cat stories are really Xavi stories. How she followed us to the chip shop (a fifteen minute walk - thirty minute round trip) and then lay down in the middle of the floor while we were eating, glaring up at us like 'Look how tired you've made me'. How she followed us to my Dad's house one Sunday, and had to have a lift back in Grandad's car, and Xavi would laugh his head off every time we'd go over a speed bump and her eyes would go all wide and panicky. The first time he met that little cat, he hadn't learned to crawl yet, and she was bigger than he was. One of the first words he learned to say was her name. And over the years, in a way she was more his cat than mine. He was always much more pleased to see her (because he didn't see her every day, he lives with his Mum (around the corner) most of the week). I think in his mind she was going to live forever.

I'll be PS4... at some point. Haven't bought one yet. Cash flow issue.

I didn't think I'd feel it this much. I though the cats I'd had in childhood were closer to me. They were affectionate, they'd sit on your knee or be picked up and purr while you carried them. Shanti was standoffish, she wouldn't sit on your knee, she hated being picked up. She'd ask for food and not eat it. She'd demand attention when I was trying to do something just because she liked to distract me. But she was with me for nearly a third of my life. When she was a kitten, I'd throw cat toys over her head and she'd leap five feet in the air to catch them. Pick them up with her mouth and bring them back so you could throw them again. We'd laugh and ask her why she thought she was a dog. Then later, after she'd had her litter of kittens (and been neutered) she'd just sit and watch the toys fly, and then pounce when it landed, all shiny eyes and claws ripping the carpet.. Eventually she stopped doing that too. She'd just look at you like 'What did you throw that for? Stupid human'. If she was out and we went out too, she'd follow us down the road. We managed three house moves that way, going to the old house and letting her follow us up the streets to the new one. When Xavi was 8 we'd go to the kid's park and she'd follow us, and she'd be surrounded by little girls stroking her and telling her how beautiful she was. When we moved to the flat in town, she loved it because she could go out of the bedroom window and already be on a roof, and a cat's favourite game is the 'I'm on a higher thing than the thing you're on' game. She could get onto the top roof and pluck bats out of the sky there. I think she'd been a little bit ill for a while. Last few years she'd ask for more and more water, more water than cats usually drink. You'd put a tablespoon's worth of food in her bowl and she'd eat one mouthful, then ask for more. She'd be sick quite a lot. She'd use something other than her litter tray as a litter trap, even though her tray was clean and fresh. Last summer she was living like a teenager (because she was one), only coming in for meals and to sleep at night, and staying out for 16 hours a day. But she was slowing down... and I think this winter took a lot out of her. But she went steeply downhill th,is weekend. Last night, when I got home from work, she couldn't even lift her head, but her eyes were open and her ears were twitching. But a few hours later, she meowed for me. And then she stopped breathing. My son filmed this last April. She meowed higher for him than she would for me. She was more demanding when she was talking to me. I'll miss her.

She's gone.

Has nobody thought to just post the http://store.playstation.com link? Because you can browse and search that without having an actual PSN account. They have Jet Set Radio and Space Channel Five. But Fire Pro isn't available in Europe.

You could almost say they're going through the Phelan Out process.

My cat is sick, I think she's dying. She's 13 and she's stopped eating.Opened a tin of Tuna next to her yesterday and she ignored it. It's going to be hard on my son if she does, she's older than he is, so as far as he's concerned having a cat is something Dad's do.

So last night I finished watching Daredevil season 1. It was really good. I have a few questions though. See how Fisk was always talking about saving this City, and rebuilding this city and so on? Was he talking about all of New York, or just the Hell's Kitchen bit of it? Because the show did like to have lots of people go down to the riverside and stare at the towers in Manhattan as if they were a different world... a safe, prosperous different world. I get that they're contrasting how Murdoch is down and dirty in a way that Stark and Rogers aren't, but it didn't look like NY needed that much saving (just a little bit of it). Where in New York was the Chitauri attack anyway? Because I thought Stark Tower was in Manhattan, which should therefore be the most damaged area. The Avengers made a big deal of setting a perimeter and containing the damage as much as possible. Anyway, it's Jessica Jones next, then DD season 2, then Luke Cage, right?

Z is talking about Germany, not America. EDIT: Beaten by one second. I blame superior German engineering.

Bret is a Wrestling fan's Wrestler. He was put on top during a downswing to have good matches, because although Vince loves the idea of having people who don't like Wrestling watch his shows (Wrestling fans will always watch Wrestling; Non-Wrestling fans won't, unless you get a Superstar), if he knows he can't draw mainstream eyes, he puts a worker on top. Satisfy the audience you do have. At the time of his top run, house show business was better in Europe than the USA, so they'd tour over here much more often. But I wouldn't say he was a big star in Europe exactly. He was the top guy in the top company, and a lot of people consider him to have been the best Ace because he was a better worker than those who immediately proceeded and succeeded him (and the New Generation Era was better than the Attitude Era in terms of actual Wrestling matches with Wrestling in them). But he wasn't a mainstream deal or anything. He might have been bigger in Canada, I don't know.

That's not entirely out of character though, for who he was at the start of the trilogy. I mean, have you ever known anyone who was a selfish arsehole who turned over a new leaf and decided to be nice from now on, and a few years later they'd backslid into being an utter arsehole again?

He's also a popular meme amongst people who don't watch Wrestling.

Hey Kurt, can you give us a visual representation of how WWE booked Sting? Thanks Kurt!

EDIT: Bubble Host.

Right now, he's probably not as big of a name as Hogan, Rock or Austin, but he might be bigger than Savage. But ten years from now, when all the Cena kids from the last ten years are mid 20s-mid 30s, Cena will be the iconic legend of Wrestling. Austin will be the reality TV guy who was in some movies and used to wrestle. Rock will be the ageing Hollywood action guy who used to Wrestle, and Hogan will be looked at as a historical abnormality. As an embodiment of an era when Wrestling wasn't very good and nobody can understand why it was popular then. Like taking an Attitude Era kid and showing them Bruno Sammartino matches.

JJ Abrams and Vince Russo are basically the same person, working in two different industries. But one is considered to be a pariah and an idiot in his business, whilst the other is hailed as a genius. Which suggests Wrestling fans are smarter than movie fans.

Are you referring to Miz as "ehhh whatever"? Some people really love him now.

She did beat Mayweather. To the ESPY fighter of the year award, in 2015.

I wondered why my Rarest Trophies list was being taken over by GTA 5 ones. It's because they get rarer the more new people play the game and don't earn them.

Last night we watched Die Hard. Somehow Xav hadn't seen it before. He couldn't believe all the smoking there was in the movie, and that right at the start John McClane was on a plane with a gun. The 80s were a different world. They had a ground breaking (for 1988) touch screen computer and it might as well have been from the Stone Age to a modern kid. Also, he didn't recognise Hans Gruber as Severus Snape until he spoke.

I accidentally got a free month's trial of Amazon Prime. I also got a free month of Netflix by stealing the promo code from an unbought copy of the Radio Times, so I've been watching Vikings and Daredevil (and my son's been watching the Grand Tour). Netflix is definitely better. Partly because I can watch it on my Virgin box, whilst I have to use the PS3 to watch Amazon, but mostly because if Netflix says you can watch a movie, you can actually watch it. Whereas if Amazon Prime says you can watch a movie, it generally wants you to pay extra for it.

Kent Walton was Canadian. But yeah, it's on ITV Hub already. Or as long as this stays up:
