Really appreciate the responses and your time writing them. Seems a real advocation for Ipad and Chromebook - are these down to just ease of use/setup? We are a 365 school so makes it just a little bit harder for us to think about adopting something that naturally works better with apple/google. Or am I wrong in thinking this way?

Hi All, My Digital strategy lead has asked me to gather some information on his behalf as we are about to go down the 1 to 1 device route. What he's looking for is something along the lines of: * Wireless info - what system do you use? how many clients? * Did you need to do any specific backend upgrades to support the transition? * What devices are people using for their students? Any recommendations? * Did anyone who's gone down this road use any external companies that have helped/are supporting the transition? * Do you have any recommendations or warnings for implementing a 1 to 1 scheme? Any information received is much appreciated. PM if more comfortable. (Equally - mods if this better suited in another forum please move it). Thanks

I'm able to log in but the status page is suggesting 'Partial Outage' still - another day of fun?

RDR2 is a complete prequel to the first so you'd get away without knowing anything about the first's story. As someone who bought it on launch and approaching a month later am still playing it daily having only just finished the story, I can't recommend the game enough if it's up your alley.

Soundgarden were a cornerstone of my taste in music as a angsty teen. What a great voice, he will be sadly missed.

I'm loving Overwatch also, only regret I have is that I haven't put more time into it so far (although did seem to "lose" a couple of hours yesterday to it and I haven't done that for a long time). I really think they have done a stellar job with the characters, they all have great personalities and are genuinely quite likeable but it's a game that's obviously better played with others you know and can count to stand on points/push the payload etc and not have three Hanzo's stood trying to snipe people. That said I've really enjoyed what I've played and I'm sure I will continue to do so as I climb up the ranks and they add ranked mode etc.

It's worth mentioning that it's got Steam Workshop support also if looking at Mods etc are up your alley. May alleviate some of the issues people have with the game in time. I'm loving it so far but only managed to put about 4 or 5 hours into it this week, like others have said if you like the previous one then it's worth considering.

Bought Darkest Dungeon now it's got it's full release out of early access. Great fun, if not more than a little tense going into battles with your heroes on the brink of insanity/heart attacks!

The copy of Fallout 4 on Xbox one includes a code for the backward-compatible version of Fallout 3 to download so possibly also more incentive for them to do that first over Skyrim

Been really enjoying it (I'm a fan of the other 2 and the books). It does seem to open up quite a lot after the first big event in the first map (don't want to spoil anything) but does seem to be quite heavily level-gated. Have ran into stuff that has been 3 or 4 times my level quite quickly by running off on my own(although hasn't been impossible to kill stuff a lot higher than me, even on the second to highest difficulty) so can imagine it's quite easy to get overwhelmed by exploring. The Witcher sense mode is quite an interesting take though and does add a bit of a different dimension to it, looking for peoples footsteps/blood/clues to what people have left behind etc - reminds me a lot of the detective mode from the arkham games. Enjoying it a lot and can't wait to play more.

Yeah it's adapting the same sort of model that Guild Wars 2 uses, buy the box and your good to go. Although whether they will charge for expansions/addon's/dlc feature packs - I would assume likely but have no idea (haven't followed the game since it launched). PS4 version is down on Amazon as 9th June. I do agree with some of the sentiment in here though, it seemed alright but wasn't a game changer for me so didn't keep playing it.

FF14 Hearthstone Heroes of the Storm Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Rogue Legacy Have kept me fairly engrossed enough not to go out and impulse buy other games for a little while.

14/15 PES or Fifa caught me out

Blizzard Press Center They probably won't be heartbroken with giving 5 days out if they can keep the subscribers going back up/steady (+2.6 million from quarter 3) but yeah obviously you don't wanna lose what impact you've gained by throwing it all away to server issues. Heard good things from my friends list while i've been playing Heroes of the Storm when it has been playable though. I've not bought back into it again yet (albeit it does look interesting) - you guys enjoying it when you can get in?

I was a big fan of the 2nd one, the humor and loot hunting really clicked with me so this one definitely on my wishlist at the moment. Loved playing as Krieg, such a risk reward style if you specced for it but nothing quite like turning into a Mutant Psycho Badass.
