Don't think i can join in tonight, don't get home until that time exactly. If it was a little later (9pm), i'd be more than happy to join in.

Mines sitting at home on the table. How i know this, my Dad signed for it earlier. It's going to be a long afternoon in work.

It's not every day you get called a racist by a customer on the phone. They thought i was treating them different and discriminating against them during the call, of which i specified i was not treating them different to everyone else. That's when the racist remark came about from the customer. You can guess my response.

And to save a double post Pizza on a Train anyone?

Oh yeah, when i saw Vettel retire, i presented him with my "number 1" finger. And it wasn't the index finger i might add

Paid off the last of my credit card today.

I seem to be one of the few whom seems to be finding a lot of games to play on the PS4, either that or i've not had the time to complete earlier games and the newer ones are catching up.

Had the confirmation through earlier, should have my copy tomorrow.

As i mentioned in the League Thread, i can't do any Thursdays at present unless i get an early finish from work.

Finished the 2nd half of season 5

Not an amazing race, i've always enjoyed the Monte Carlo GP but this one was lacking. Well done on Marussia in getting their first ever points, they looked like they actually won the World Title. Well deserved i believe. And, as much as i like Hamilton as a driver, he needs to grow up a little.

My pre-order is a store one, i can't join said hype train Still, hopefully this deal with E4 will bring in much needed WiiU sales.

Yeah, i can see that issue. Online banking has so many passwords and codes to be able to access it, i take it you are with HSBC the same as myself? Have to remember the online ID number, then the password to the question. Then a 3rd code to access that smart thing to give you a 6 digit code. Kind of a chore to access, but it is secure (of which you don't think it is when you forget one code and find it impossible to access otherwise)

I'm not working this bank holiday for a change!!. Meaning a damn good rest, plenty of drinking and of course some gaming to be done.

I was thinking it would be every time you need to access something, unless it's from a "saved" access point (aka a PC, Mac, tablet etc) then it would generate a code that would be sent to your phone. This would be required to access said services. You'd only need to remember the one password, never the code. Google's 2-step service is probably the next stage in all verification.

Yeah, i can't say anything to that. I know i've said advertising is needed, but c'maaaan.

I'm in the same boat, which is a real shame really. Nintendo used to be something i would be happy to have as a main console, but these days it's impossible to have just Nintendo. Looking at the WiiU, so far there have been 2 first party titles for it this year alone (so far) in the forms of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and now Mario Kart. The blame for the "current" failure with the WiiU lies mainly with Nintendo, and within that it's to be blamed on Iwata. It's not to be blamed on 3rd parties entirely. It's a real shame, many people say Iwata is to blame for Nintendo's current position, and i can't really agree more.

Had an email through, they've dispatched my order today. Probably arrive either Saturday (if the mailman is nice) or Tuesday. Not sure if Ubisoft are doing a Rockstar with this and not releasing the orders until Sunday/Monday.

Continuing with my ruling of 1 game per system, i've returned to Albion with Fable: Anniversary. And as the game is 10+ years old, i won't spoil tag my progress (hopefully those whom wanted to play Fable and/or Lost Chapters will have done so by now) I've done Bargate Prison and returned to Albion after rescuing the hero's Mum. I've progressed further and defeated Maize at Hook Coast. The only noticable differences between this and the original (apart from the graphical upgrade with the Unreal engine) is a better navigation menu. The game itself is very glitchy, i tried doing a side quest the other day where i had to rescue kidnapped citizens from Greatwood. None of them were in the areas, nor were there any bandits. Anywho, i'm nearing the end of the main story of Anniversary (trying to stop Jack from opening the key stones to get the sword). Then all i've got left is the Lost Chapters part and i'm done.

I've got a 3rd party Wii "Classic Pro" Control pad, the only issue i've had with it is the fact some of the buttons are a little stiff to begin with. And yes, i got it off ebay. Only need to use it now with Majoras Mask and Super Mario 64 as the other Wii VC games i've had are upgraded to WiiU and can use the Pro controller. Picked up an official WiiU Pro Controller last weekend for £28 from CEX online as it seemed to be the only place i could find an official one at a reasonable price. Had to give it a quick clean to get the dirt off, but it works perfectly fine. Had a bash on Monster Hunter with it, and it feels so much better to play with a conventional control pad. As many have done, mainly picked it up for Mario Kart 8 gaming.

Mario Kart is one of them games that everyone loves to play. My Pro controller arrived last night in preparation. Bring on next weekend!!!

I've just checked mine, it's still reading as £90 being charged.

I wonder if anyone will try and stay online like that chap did with Halo 2. Didn't he stay online for a month after the servers went off?

I feel better (so far) with having not read a heck of a lot on Mario Kart 8 and avoiding the spoilers on tracks, characters and many other things. I'm still pretty hypped for this game.

Sounds like you had a good night, i shall read the review once i get home.
