  1. 2016 seems plausable for a new handheld for Nintendo. There is enough life left in the 3DS for at least another year or so in my eyes. Should they ditch the stylus for a new handheld, i don't think so. And the need for 2 screens is fine by me, bring the idea for the WiiU tablet to it.
  2. So, the premier is at 2am. I doubt i'll be watching it live, what with having to go to work tomorrow.
  3. Yup, got it on now. Finally will experience the new coverage live for the first (and not the last) time this season. Did anyone else see Ron Dennis on Sky Sports News earlier. His comments concerning Red Bull (more so on Seb Vettels comments/moaning on the cars) certainly speak as many think.
  4. Watched 2 movies last night i've never seen before, 1 in a tribute to the late, great Harold Ramis in the form of Stripes. Not a bad movie, few chuckle moments. Very much enjoyed the movie and well worth watching (on Netflix UK, new addition). The second was Footloose (the original one with Kevin Bacon). Again, never seen it before and was a good movie to watch.
  5. Here's the list Razor Ramon Ultimate Warrior Paul Bearer Carlos Colan Lita Jake "The Snake" Roberts Mr T A good class for 2014 i believe.
  6. Depending on what format i've been playing. With the home consoles, i try to focus on one game on one console at a time. For example, if i've been playing a PS4 game and complete it, i choose between either my 360 or WiiU for my next home console game. Rinse and repeat. But that never works as i tend to play a bit on one, move onto another and back to the 3rd without ever really completing a game. It's the same on the handhelds, i play a bit here and a bit there. I ought to get myself back into the mindset of play one game on one console, complete and pick another on a different console.
  7. Damn close game between myself and bob, well done for getting through. Anyone up for a friendly on Tuesday? Edit: I see Kippen has already put the invite out, accepted. Best of luck.
  8. Unblock-Us works as well. I've got it on my PS4 (again, got a "US account"). It's Wrestlemania week, and i'm just not feeling it.
  9. No idea, whose next?
  10. I don't mind at all knowing all the characters you can play as in-game, that part doesn't bother me at all. Like yourself, i don't want to know the tracks. Especially the retro tracks, i like that part to remain spoiler-free in my mind. I like to be able to find out what classic tracks i can replay in each incarnation.
  11. (Yeah, i know. Couldn't help myself) It's the birthday of the one and only EEVILMURRAY this fine day. Made you a cake as well. Happy Birthday chap, have a good one.
  12. That wouldn't surprise me at all. As a whole, this Mania is weak. And shows that the WWE need the older guys to still make appearances to get the buys. Probably a wise move to show it on the Network.
  13. I'm trying to not spoil as much to myself as i need be. I don't know what all the tracks* are, and i don't want to know (at the moment at least, i think i can wait until i play the game to find out which tracks made the cut). But the more i look at the trailers, the more i want this now. We know what Nintendo can do with the power of their consoles, this is another example of such. *I know of a few already
  14. I was having a chat in GAME today with some of the staff who were setting up promotion stands, they don't like the subscription service to play this each month (after paying the price for the game on top) either, and that they'll be (like me) sticking to Oblivion/Skyrim for their Elder Scrolls fix. I don't like the whole sub model they've got in place for this. I was reading an article earlier this week, saying the sub was set-up as a mutual agreement between the makers and publishers. It's bound to be free-to-play soon enough, it's inevitable as many people just don't agree with the sub either.
  15. Preview of Mania (my thoughts so far) WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match - Randy Orton © vs. Batista vs. Triple H/Daniel Bryan Meh, i've disliked Batista near enough being handed the main event slot at Mania. The build for Orton/Batista hasn't been too good as it were. But adding Triple H/Daniel Bryan to the mix will be interesting. I can't see Daniel Bryan taking the title if he does beat Triple H in his earlier match. I can see it coming down to him nearly taking it, but Triple H screwing Bryan again and letting either Orton or Batista take the pin on him. Thus re-uniting Evolution (which will be nice to see) My winner: Batista Triple H vs. Daniel Bryan - Winner is inserted into main event The build has been interesting, Bryan had the entire RAW hostage thing a few weeks back which led to the whole match coming into fruitition. It's one of the only matches that interests me, and i've been watching the build over the last few weeks. My winner: Daniel Bryan Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker Meh, it's not looking good to me. Lesnar doesn't look competent enough to end the streak, and neither guy has given anything in the light of promo's to convince me that they'll win. It's clear enough Taker will win, but over the past few Mania's (Punk, Triple H, HBK) they delivered promo's which convinced me they could be the ones to take the Streak. But this, i'm not buying Lesnar to end it. But i am expecting a certain baseball bat weilding star to appear and face Taker face to face in the ring. My winner: Undertaker John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt John Cena not in a title match for a change, which is nice to see. Bray Wyatt is a certain star for the future, and he has a good chance to become a bigger star if he tops Cena. If the match is 1 vs 1, without Harper and Rowan interfiering in the match then this could be a classic match. My winner: Bray Wyatt WWE Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way - The Usos © vs. Los Matadores vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel vs. The Real Americans (Pre-show match) Yeah, i don't know either. No idea why it's on the pre-show, all these stars are talented and i'd rather this was on the card than the Diva thingy. What a bad decision for the WWE. My winners: The Uso's The Shield vs. Kane and the New Age Outlaws Bit of a thrown together match really, i can't really say anything about this. My winners: The Shield Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal Hogan announced it weeks ago, people have been enterting the match. It's a funny one really. But i can only see 1 person winning it. My winner: The Big Show Vickie Guerrero Divas Invitational Nice to see the Divas belt finally being defended at Mania, shame it's in this style of match. I was expecting a Guantlet-style match, but instead it's a 1 fall. Should have done it as the Cruiserweight Invitational several years ago. No IC or US title defenses at Mania, which is a shame. The US has not been defended since October. To be fair, i'm not looking forward to Mania and i'm not overly excited by it.
  16. I don't like popcorn Seriously, that's it. That controller is butt ugly. Whomever let that design out for manufacturing needs shooting, because that clearly needs more refining. I'll be sticking to my PS4/WiiU combo for media streaming i think.
  17. Ah, completly forgot there was a cup @The Peeps. I'll send over the invite now @bob. Sorry again chap(s)
  18. I think we are playing in a similar way. I'm clearing each district on the way to some of the story missions (DUP, Shards etc). Once each region is clear from DUP, does anyone else go around and smash as much DUP stuff up afterwards. Or is it just me?
  19. Well, i can't add anything new. But here's my take on a few ideas Advertising The main problem I see with Nintendo is the lack of advertising. I’ve hardly seen a WiiU advert on TV and to be honest, not much of the 3DS either (but that department is fine). In fact, hardly see any Nintendo advertising in general. This was a main problem with the Gamecube, which was rectified with the Wii. If you are trying to sell a product, then advertise it. Show people the differences between the U and the Wii, show them it’s a new console and put some deals in place to entice people to buy one. (I’ll go more into cost/price further down). You see Xbox One adverts, PS4/Sony adverts all the time. But not a lot from Nintendo. Start by recruiting more people whom know advertising and can showcase the product for consumer purchase. Loan out IP's to 2nd/3rd parties + Work Closer with them Sega did a top-notch job with F-Zero back on the Gamecube, Retro have done wonders with Metroid and Donkey Kong. Maybe loan out more IP’s to other developers and see what they can do with the likes of Starfox. Heck, loan out F-Zero to Sega again and see what they can do on the WiiU. I know sales have not been so good for Starfox and F-Zero, but hey. They’ll be a welcome change from Mario. And I for one am not interested in Hyrule Warriors. Reduce the price of games + put offers in place I went into a little bit of this earlier, but in more detail now. How many 1st party WiiU titles do you see that have come down in price? Hardly 1, which is disappointing. Even after a year or so from console launch, I still see Super Mario Bros U selling for £40 in places, I still see Pikmin 3 and Wind Waker going for similar prices as well. And don’t get me started on the Virtual Console prices (charging more for a diskless version of the same game, c’maaan). Mark down prices of these older titles as time goes on, and you may see more sales occur on titles. Which can only be a good thing really. And bring some deals/offers in place to entice new players. Virtual Console + Online This needs sorting in a big way. More games need to appear in this library when droughts appear (like we are in one now). Stop drib-drabbing games out, work on bringing Gamecube titles out. And offer them for respectable prices (and offer sale prices on them on occasions, like Easter + Summer sales) With online, I’m not saying the system is bad (and we cannot argue with a free service). Look at what Sony and Microsoft offer, bring more servers for online play. And maybe add “friend matches” to games, so people can play online in matches/games/races with friends. Bring yourselves to the 21st Century I still don’t understand why Nintendo have yet to include DVD/Bluray options to their consoles. It would be handy for people on limited budgets; bluray players do cost a fair bit (some going for hundreds).
  20. Purchases for April (so far)
  21. I read about that album, isn't that the one that's coming to new Sony mobiles?
  22. Introducing Google "Shelfie"
  23. I do half my pre-orders either in-store or online these days. Sometimes you can get a few extra bonus's for in-store orders, managed to get a free PS4 starter kit with my PS4 when ordered in-store. Amazon seem to be fine, if you order a movie. Then it arrives on release day, i guess they never learn the difference between movie and game release days.
  24. Over the past few weeks, i've watched (mainly thanks to Amazon Prime + Netflix). Toy Story 3 (Not a bad finale to the trilogy), Slam Dunk Ernest (havn't seen it in years, just as cheesy as i remember (i miss Jim Varney)), Tango + Cash (saw it on a whim, mate in work was talking about it. Not as bad as the reviews said it was) + Escape Plan (Brilliant movie)
  25. I enjoy looking at the fuel graphics. As you said, seeing Lewis out in front using a heck of a lot less fuel than the likes of Vettel, Rosberg + Hulkenburg. And yet, Lewis was still earning seconds on the lead every few laps. Just goes to show how much power that Merc has. Felt sorry for Kimi, if it wasn't for that puncture which practically ruined his race who knows how far up the board he could have reached. And Ricciardo, i blame the pit crew for that.
