The reason time speeds up is simple. When you were 5, a year was 20% of your entire life. When you hit 50 a year is only 2% of your life.
More importantly I want to know why an hour in a meeting at work seems to last forever, but an hour for lunch flies past in a blink of an eye.

You don't stop gaming because you get old, you get old because you stop gaming.

Its more like a rollercoaster, I think....It climbs up slowly until you are about 35, then speeds up and up and up as you get older...Then has a big crash at the end.

That's the most depressing analogy of life I've read so far. Thanks for that Red.

Totally agree with the meeting hour vs lunch hour though!

Make her buy a new one Cap!

Quick straw poll: Me and the wife have separate money, hers is hers, mine is mine. This seems somewhat unusual, do most people have joint bank accounts?

@Red620Ti We have a bit of both, we both have our own current accounts but we have joint savings. She normally buys the food and I pay all the house bills and our mobiles, stuff like that, and we both pay for sundries like taking the kids to the cinema and fun days out.

We each have our own account and also a joint account for paying bills and buying stuff for the house which we transfer a portion of our salaries into each month. Has worked like a charm for 20 years

@Stylon Just the standard S6. The Edge was a bit too much more moolah for my liking.
On the accounts question - we have separate accounts. I pay all the bills and the Wife xfers a set amount each month to contribute. Works for us.

I'm with you Josie, I can't see how you can buy presents for each other from a joint account, you'd pay for half your own gift!

Changing tack completely now, I have a goal I've set myself to reach 100k Gamerscore by the end of the year. Looking on TA, it means I need to score 83 points per day. Given that I am playing Witcher 3 and ES:O (starting tomorrow) I somehow doubt I'm going to do it...

Holy crap. I've been away for a week and busy with work this week so not had time to keep up to date with all things Xbox-y. I feel like I've been away for months! I can't take everything in. So much new news after E3. I think I need a lay down in a darkened room. LOL

...and I've not even looked to see if I have a GoW beta code!

Wondered where you'd disappeared to lol...

Yeah I've been following it live and am still struggling to take it all in. Coolest 2 things for me are being able to play some of my old 360 games and playing Elite again! Double nostalgia!

Great to see you again @Captain_Chao5 and welcome back! Yes, it has been a massive E3 for Xbox owners and I'm also struggling to keep up with the releases. Hopefully the next few weeks will be slightly quieter! As for games there are tonnes of new things you can play right now including as @stylon has said Elite: Dangerous (my current obsession). Check out my last post for the link to the demo (it will set you back £24.99 for the full release) which is accessable to all Xbox owners. Plus if you want access to the Gears beta then head over to the Gears website and sign up there. You get two codes for that one in your Xbox messages - the first is the download the second is an activation code.
