Split-screen multiplayer gaming. Having had the chance to replay that at a recent streetpass event (in the tune of F-Zero X i might add), being able to play this way is certainly different to how we play today. The hard part is trying to figure out what corner of the screen you are on. And of course, there are the others mentioned here. Parents buying games. Well, it is kind of still there. But it's not as fun anymore, considering the fact that you can go out and get any game you fancy these days. Back then, like @Goafer i only had games 2 or 3 times a year (unless i saved my pocket money up) and they were from parents. And yes, you played them to death. Covers, manuels etc. Most of the time these days, it is all "Get your gaming manual electronically online". And it misses the good stuff (aka the new "smell", the art etc). Having that one friend who knew how to get a certain character/level etc. These days, a quick look online and bam. There you go.

I've been venturing into Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater on the Vita this past week (picked up the HD collection for £10 at CEX). I did play it on the 360 a year or so ago, but couldn't really get into it as such. For some reason, Sony controls seem more natural for this sort of game.

I've got a 16gb card in mine at present, with a few Plus games downloaded. That should suffice as i doubt you'll want to download all the PS plus games, after all they remain on the download list as long as you remain a PS+ member i believe. It's upto you however what you go for, 32gb is a good size card and can amass some of the larger PS+ games on offer.

That is a good achievement in just 5 months since launch. Some people are saying that it could reach 14-15 million by years end, which if it does that then wow. Sony are doing something right for a change, should (hopefully) make a decent profit on that.

I see you took account of said gif, well done sir. Well done.

Well, well.

This is the gem of gems when it comes to Smash Brothers (considering there are only 3, Nintendo did something right with this one). The stages were great, the music was great. I think i spent too many hours playing this, getting all the trophies, characters etc. Still got the memory card with my save on, don't have the Gamecube though. As Goron said, this was the game for social gatherings. I managed to get mates whom poo poo'd Nintendo as being childish to play this, of which their views were changed. Each party i was invited to, i was asked to bring over the Gamecube with Smash Brothers (and later, Mario Kart) because it was something that people just loved playing. Guess it was something that appealed to everyone really.

This game is perfect for short bursts at a time. Those updates certainly are interesting. I do need to get back to playing this, but other games are taking my time at present. Damn backlog!!!!!.

Challenge sent.

Youth training is paying off, had some significant skill increases across the youth side of my team. Just seen the first game for myself is on the 29th, anyone fancy a few friendlies beforehand?

Same, that would be epic. Ron at McClaren and Ross at Ferrari. That just oozes with awesomeness. Edit: To save a double post, Red Bull have lost their appeal. Thoughts everyone? Personally, i say good. The FIA are finally showing that Red Bull need to step in line and follow the orders given. Feel sorry for Riccardo though.

This game is on my list to purchase along with a Gameboy Advance SP. And it's also one i'm ashamed to say i never played, which i feel ashamed to say.

I'm always tapping my feet if i'm sitting down and waiting for something (aka a train, coffee to be served). Or i'm strumming hands on a table. Usually it is being done to the tune of a song i've got in my head.

You sir, have a deal.

Sure, it's one game on my list. What would you be looking at a price for it?

I always prefer face to face conversations over chatting over the interweb, but i've been finding myself communicating more and more over the interweb since friends have moved away. Phone use, i try to not use it whilst having a conversation with someone as i find that rude.

I'm interested in Yoshi's Island from you @lostmario as it's on my list. Can offer cash for it.

Same here, i can't see myself using it to play Mario Kart either. Most of my WiiU games (and VC games) i play with the Wiimote/Nunchuck/Classic controller set-up. The gamepad is only ever used for accessing Netflix, LoveFILM, eshop etc that require the pad to be used. I'm not saying it's a bad control type, it's just it feels uncomfortable after using it for periods of time (sometimes after a short period). It does need redesigning, and i'll have a look at the designs once i can access a browser that displays images.

And work is returning to a dictatorship status. Trying to force people to go on breaks at certain times again. I finished up a call earlier, manager came over and put me into a break code and said "you can take your break now". I only finished lunch one hour earlier.

Sweet, just needs a EU release date and i'm sold. Edit: And it's set for June 27th 2014. Put my pre-order down, 2 months to go then i can play this masterpiece.

Shocked isn't the word. At least he made peace with the WWE and the McMahon family before his passing. R.I.P. His speech at the Hall of Fame and on RAW kind of felt like a final farewell for Warrior to his fan base. I'm watching a few Warrior matches on the Network in honor of the legend tonight.

Probably on par with the "Fandango'ing" last year. Always love the European crowds.
