Celebrate 20 Years of the PlayStation at TruffleShuffle.com!
Well....we're stunned! This doesn't happen very often, but every once in a while we learn a cheeky fact or stat that leaves our eyes wide and our mouths open. Today is one of those days.
Yes indeediedodie, as hard and possibly scary as it might be, the humble PlayStation (or magic grey box of awesomeness as we like to think of it) turns a whopping 20 years old today! Yep all those years ago, kids and big kids all over Europe first got their eager hands on this little CD playing moment in gaming history and well.... things were never the same again.
Bringing us some of the best game ever including the likes of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Tekken, MediEvil, Gran Theft Auto, Gran Turismo, Tony Hawks, and soooooo many more, this console has played such a huge part of many of our lives which countless hours spent and many amazing moments with friends.
.
Put simply, along with others we simply cannot imagine growing up without these little bundles of cool around and would also like to say a huge thank you to our and all the parents out there who went out and made our dreams come true all those years ago. You rock!
Deck The Halls! Our Christmas Jumpers Spotted in New Seth Rogan Film!
We've just spotted something pretty darn extiging at Truffle Towers this week!
Combining two of our very favourite things about Christmas,(Christmas films and Christmas Jumpers of course!), the upcoming Seth Rogan, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anthony Mackie xmas flick is set to shake up everything you thought a Christmas film could be.
So what's it all about? Well! The trio play longtime friends, Isaac, Ethan and Chris, who decide to bring their yearly Christmas Eve tradition to an end. Isaac is about to become a father, and Chris, a pro American football player, has become just too famous to casually hang out like they used to. The gang find themselves in a drug fueled night which goes as smoothly as you might imagine but is sure to be one hell of a ride!
