How's the console treating you?
Great... I'm completely addicted to it already and
that I never got one ages ago 
But I know that feeling well cos I'm a late-adopter of most techs/trends - that is if they don't completely bypass me... which this could well have done if it weren't, indirectly, for alpha's suggestion to play fortnite Anyway I'm happy with my new setup; bought an extra controller so I can play with my dad and/or friends, and bought a cool little charging/docking stand for them to save wear and tear on the various USB connections involved and so that I can always have one on the go while the other is charging (since the PS4 has now taken over as my main media centre so it will get a lot of daily use even if I'm not playing games; ie for my streaming apps, so Netflix, YouTube, prime video, Twitch etc), and game wise have bought/acquired a few games to get me/us started; Fortnite of course... the catalyst for all of this... acquired for free, but on top of that I've bought the Sega Megadrive Collection (50+ classic games)... for nostalgic purposes, 99 Vidas (a scrolling beatemup similar to one of our favourites of those classic Megadrive games; Streets Of Rage), Thimbleweed Park, again for nostalgia for times gone by (ie made by the same people and in similar (comic) style to the Monkey Island point and click rpgs of old), and finally, for me alone (ie the rest are mainly nostalgia for both me and my dad) Trackmania Turbo, since I like racing games... and after comparing several racing games on YouTube, that seemed like a good place to start. But that'll do games-wise for the moment; I won't get any more until I've got good value for money out of the ones I've already got.
So pretty happy at the moment... alternating between streaming my favourite programme at the moment: Black Sails (a Prime Original about pirates), streaming YouTube/Twitch for game content about fortnite and aoe2, and playing games. And of the latter I'm gradually getting better at Fortnite... and today managed to hold my own to some extent against someone trolling me in the playground practice mode... so basically my first proper, long term fight (ie usually I die very soon after hitting the ground as easy pickings for more experienced players
)... so that was confidence inspiring... and also I've played my first 'duo' game... with Hammy... today... and looking forward to playing the same way with alpha. So yeah, very happy at the moment
