I'm downloading Fortnite...

Yeah, it’s not popular because it’s particularly good, it’s popular because it’s free, social and you can play it on a phone. See also Minecraft (which I understand is now completely old hat).

A friend of mine was saying that his son had his mates come round and they just played games. Another friend and me pointed out that that was precisely what we did when we were that age.

Yeah there’s an amusing loop happening here. My niece got a record player for her birthday (she’s 13) and has been plastering Instagram with how much she loved it.

30 years I was doing (minus insta) exactly what she’s doing now...

Same here. Looked shit and gave it less than 5 minutes.

If it’s the last two weeks, I wouldn’t bother.

Meh, I think there's more people of all abilities playing so it may have got a little easier as there's more chance of ending up with people of similar skill levels... dunno though.

I haven't played more than a couple of games, but I do sometimes like watching the competitions and streaming - the strategy is so much more than "run around and kill everyone else before they kill you" as it might first appear. When it gets down to the final few players and the ring has closed right down, it's very tense.
