  1. Luckily i got spares of the Pokemon i'm looking to transfer across, so i won't lose the ones in Go i want to keep. Bought a Magikarp from a NPC for 500 coins. It knows Tackle, so it's not useless.
  2. Just made it to Chapter 3
  3. He lived a good life, and got to see many of his creations hit the big screen. R.I.P to a legend.
  4. Took nearly 3 months, but finally got the electric meter changed in the flat from a token to a standard credit one. 3 months of back and forth phone calls, emails etc. The electric company were adament in making sure we'd clear the debt of the property (wasn't our debt, but as i found out from the landlord it was building up without his knowledge as the last tenants vacated without telling him (so lots of debt built up including unpaid rent, gas and water)) The gas and water were the easy ones, it was the electric that proved hard. They went from trying to charge us nearly £300 to clear the debt to £100 "admin fee". Between me and the landlord (and an ombudsman) we got the fee down to zero. They removed the meter yesterday, so now we can shop around for a better supplier (we were on a tariff that allows us to change (both gas and electric, we're not tied to a contract on either))
  5. Thanks Niantic, it's not like we've seen plenty of the Kanto Pokemon already. Would prefer seeing more of the regionals pop up in the wild (except Mr Mime). Finding a Tauros in the 7k eggs was hard the last time they came over.
  6. Now they've added downloading PS4 titles from PSNow, it kind of makes sense seeing the numbers being high.
  7. That reminds me, need to play Smash Bros WiiU before Ultimate arrives on the 7th. Need to give it a farewell.
  8. I think i must have been lucky, got mine for £43 with a steel case from Shopto (ordered in June straight after E3)
  9. I'm getting it at launch, the Go connectivity sounds great.
  10. Managed to finish the upgrades to the camp last night, thanks to a treasure map i bought. Also mangaged to get a few bits for my horse, a new gun for myself and stocked up on provisions in-camp to keep everyone happy. Seems to work, overheard Dutch talking saying they've got money, food and guns. Found a random hut on one exploration trip South, had 3 or 4 random enemy NPC's who were drunk. They went to bed, i killed all bar one. They told me where more money was in the hut when i scared them outside. And in Strawberry, one NPC let me pick anything up in the store as a thank-you for saving his life from an attack.
  11. Weird for no Pro controller support, but I kind of understand why. Will most likely have to play this outside of my commute (normally play a lot of Switch commuting) and play at my desk at lunch or at home.
  12. I feel the same. Smash Bros WiiU wasn't played a lot by me (heck, the WiiU as a whole wasn't played a whole lot by me). It'll be the game that people will get the online sub to play as well. Smash was very popular at EGX, as it always is.
  13. I got a Ex Raid pass............for next Wednesday at 4pm. If it was my RDO (Rota Day Off) i'd be able to go, but alas i cannot The Adventure Sync update is out for players of level 35 and above (at present). So, get those candies earned and eggs hatched. Perfect for Meltan candies.
  14. Never played a Yakuza game before, i'll give Kiwami a shot. PS+ expires end of the month, might get a good deal around Black Friday to renew.
  15. Smash will probably be the one to sell more systems over Let's Go. Many people who pay Go in the raid group i'm in don't want to shell out £300+ for a Switch and Let's Go, however some have in preparation for it.
  16. In that short space of time, that's impressive numbers. Some over at ERA were thinking it wouldn't hit 20 million by years end.
  17. Yeah, tried looting the camp and came up Wanted. Same happened on an earlier mission when i looted a shotgun from a cabin. Hid over by the rocks, waited until the wanted cleared and resumed my looting. Nearly have enough for another camp upgrade.
  18. Been on/off this all weekend. So far, so good. For me anyway, it's living up to the hype in places. Loving the missions, the world and the characters i'm coming across. Per mission i'm completing, i'm hunting rabbits and deer on my way back to camp. Already got into a bar fight, and various people have attempted to kill me out in the wilderness. And faceplanted myself into a tree. Loving the game so far, plenty to see and do. Certainly playing more this evening.
  19. From my understanding, a few on Era don't like the pacing of the first hour or so, whilst others feel it's perfect. Certainly a mixed bag of thoughts. The first hour or so of Red Dead Redemption was a little slow going as well, but it picked up and the game was great. So i'm not too concerned at the moment.
  20. Was going to wait until i finished Odyssey, but decided to put it on hold until after Red Dead is done. Game is at home (my partner is installing it for me for when i get home this evening)
  21. Only one solution is to report them to Niantic, probably find they are spoofing to the location. On the last community day, went around with a number of people in the Newport group. Was pretty good, kept doing loops around from the river to the castle via the Salvation Army building.
  22. Smaller forums are dying off slowly. N-E is one such forum, and it's down to a few things which include (and not limited to) Social Media Lifestyle They are the big two i think. With lifestyle, that can fall with the fact that we've all grown older and life changes for many of us. More responsibilities meaning less time for the hobbies we love. bob pointed that out himself. When we all joined up, most of us probably still lived at home with parents and didn't have a lot of responsibilites outside of making sure you got up, went to school/work etc. Now many of us have moved into our own places and have responsibilities. With that comes being more social with work colleagues, meeting new people and getting on with life. That is unfortunatly the way things are going for many. Many members don't come on often anymore for the above reason, and a few other reasons which are personal to them. You can't pursuade them to return, but many do when there is a direct or a big gaming event like E3 or a console reveal for a short while. Social Media (which includes YouTube here) is much easier to run a discussion about games. The likes of facebook have thousands, if not millions of gaming-related pages for people to be able to discuss what games to play and all that. Social media is also partially to blame for many gaming print medias being discontinued. Outside of some of the big forums about, which are thriving still, a lot of others are dying off. Many have moved onto social media platforms and members have followed, it is again how life is changing.
  23. Opened up most of the 1st island, only have 1 question mark left to uncover. Reached level 5, so can now use the bow and sword i got from UPlay. Still need to clear out the hideouts on the 1st island, and get the treasures dotted around. Did notice Evie on the list in Uplay, so of course she's ready for when i get to the ship.
  24. Went for the standard edition myself, with the pre-order content for the War horse and Outlaw survival. Can't even justify spending upwards of £25-£30 more for a mission and a hide-out. Last hideout that was a pre-order for Red Dead wasn't that good of one, so doesn't seem i'm missing out.
