My Playstation 4 arrived safely in its new home yesterday afternoon. It will be safe here, happy even. It will be dusted, perhaps even occasionally given a polish as well. The children will play on it at every given opportunity, the allure of the outside world will give it occasional refuge and its storage at an altitude greater than one metre will ensure its safety from the destructive little meat paws that might do it harm.

We didn’t check the microphone levels properly before recording this, unfortunately, but we did manage to play Battlefield 4 for over 30 minutes, and then the moment we decided it was the end, something that made us burst into laughter happened, so that’s in there as a bonus clip, too.
