Thanks Warbler - really enjoyed watching your games vs Handman and darth_ender, it actually got me interested in having a game again (I think the last time I played was in a tournament on the ot.com many years ago).

 

Oh yes, I remember that tournament. I think I finished about third.

darth_ender - let me know when you’d like to start mate - and if you prefer to play as white or black? 😃

(If ok with you I may post up a pic of the board from time to time? - there were some instances in the previous games I wasn’t too sure of the moves listed correlating to the board - though that could be lack of coffee and the late hour!)

Good luck to the both of you!

T’was a good tournament if I remember correctly. Someone called Skipper won?

Thank you, Warbler 😃

I’m honestly confused as to why there’s even a DVD-only release these days.

I suppose the price difference? (here in the UK if a bluray is £15, then the dvd is usually around £10) - and some people aren’t too bothered about the greater picture quality and detail etc (as Silverwook says) - they just want to watch the film.

Be interesting to see a comparison on bluray to dvd sales though. And the effect on them due to increasing number of movie channels, rentals, streaming, digital downloads, many people having less money - and dodgy torrents etc.

I’ll likely buy Rogue One on dvd (even with the appalling cover 😉), and then rip it to the hard drive and watch it through the chromecast on tv - it doesn’t take up too much drive space, and I’ll have back up just in case the disc goes awry.
