  1. Mine seems to be ok at present.
  2. The only thing lacking on my mafia is a theme, i can't think of a decent one at present. Edit: Got it, mine shall be a Wrestling mafia. Got a nice idea for it as well.
  3. Congratulations are in order.
  4. Scoured Youtube, found some interesting footage.
  5. Yeah, need more mafia myself. Shaking like a leaf, need a fix.
  6. My old 3DS is packing in, so had to buy a replacement for it And a case for around £150
  7. I think a purchase for a new 3DS is coming sooner, rather than later. It's started to turn itself off randomly, it did so about 10 minutes ago whilst i was using Streetpass. And it turned itself off as well earlier when i placed it on a table. Oh well, time to see the deals available. May even be the time for an upgrade to the XL.
  8. I know this as of now.
  9. It's a good promotion, for those whom don't already have the game. i know there is a promotion coming soon which Ninty are giving copies of Super Mario Bros Deluxe away for free, i've got it on an email somewhere which i'll post up.
  10. 3DS Activity WiiU Activity
  11. Basically, as @Happenstance said you will not be able to use online services (including those you may already pay for like Netflix) without paying for Gold.
  12. Source Shocking indeed, only 68. R.I.P
  13. Happy New Year N-Europe. Yes, i've only just got up from the party.
  14. Well, giving it more thought this year over the previous years. I say the same, and i don't seem to achieve a lot. But i am committed to trying to achieve things in 2014. And they are as follows. And yes, the first 2 are the same as previous years. Lose Weight Become more Social Leave my job Get another job Stop being a dick/idiot Read more books* *I say this, i've got a book on my bedside table that has been there over a year and i'm barely 1/2 way through it. I have a travel book in my bag for the journey to and from hell (sorry, work). But i also tend to have my 3DS with me, so it gets forgotten. I've also got at least 8 books on a shelf needing to be read. So yeah, that's the aim this year. Regarding the leaving employment, i know my contract ends in March. But i have this feeling they'll extend all contracts by 6 months or more. So from the 6th onwards i shall be applying for work like my life depended on it.
  15. That disk was Sharpe.
  16. Decided to store my PS4 flat over vertical. For this reason only.
  17. I think my 3DS may soon end it's time with me. It's started making a "popping" noise when i attempt to put it into "Sleep mode". And after making that noise, it resets the date and time on the console. Console still works fine, i have no idea for how much longer.
  18. Just personal opinion really, plus at the time i could never get to grips with Circle, Triangle, Square and X as buttons.
  19. I find it ironic that he wasn't seriously injured in his F1 career, but most of his injuries have occured outside of F1. Hopefully he makes a full recovery from this.
  20. Took a trip to a Roman museum earlier today, took a chance for a snap
  21. My history of gaming goes as follows Grandstand (basically, Space Invaders) NES Gameboy Mega Drive Gameboy Color N64 Gamecube Gameboy Advance Nintendo DS Xbox 360 Wii WiiU PS4 PS Vita Most of my gaming has been on the Nintendo side of things. I was introduced to gaming by my parents (who want me to "grow up and stop playing games" now). I blame them for my gaming hobby. After all, they bought me and my Sister a NES (well, mainly me as she didn't like video games). Played some great games in Mario Brothers, Tetris, Metroid to name a couple. They were also responsible for my first handheld in the Gameboy. Again, mainly Tetris and Mario games on here. My early gaming days, i wern't serious on gaming but played for fun. I skipped the SNES in favour of a Mega Drive (but have since played the SNES games i wanted to play, Super Metroid, Mario World, Link to the Past). Had some great gaming moments on that console. The only reason why i skipped the SNES was due to one of my cousins, who happened to have a little game called "Sonic the Hedgehog". That one game persuaded me to get a Mega Drive. Played all 3 Sonic games, damn fine times indeed. Ecco the Dolphin springs to mind as well. But during this period, my handheld gaming continued as i picked up (well, birthday present) a Gameboy Color. I came back to my Nintendo home console love back in 1999. Again, i can blame another cousin of mine. He had Goldeneye. This game, as well as Super Mario 64 persuaded me to jump back to Nintendo. It was with the N64 my gaming love increased and i became what i am today, a gamer who wanted to complete games not just for fun, but because i wanted to. Played many great games, not only the two mentioned above. But also Banjo Kazooie, Tooie, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, WWE No Mercy and Super Smash Brothers. Decided to stick to Nintendo with the Gamecube, and also an upgrade to my handheld gaming in the Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS in later days. The next big step i took occured in 2007, soon after the Wii was announced. At the time, i wasn't a fan of motion controls (to be honest, still not quite a fan but have learned to use it and enjoy it). I decided at the time that maybe a change in company could be good. I decided on an Xbox 360 purchase later that year. Played some epic titles on this console, including and not limited to Mass Effect (+ sequels), Gears of War (+ sequels), Red Dead Redemption, Assassin's Creed (+ sequels), Bioshock etc. Ok, the 360 was plagued with errors. I had 3 consoles in the duration of gaming, not happy with having to get 3. My DS broke, but i decided to not get a replacement as my handheld gaming love had died off. So i sold it off with a few games i had at the time. However, i then decided to purchase a Wii with Smash Brothers and Super Mario Galaxy a few years into the Xbox gaming years. Only 2 years ago did i find my love for handheld gaming rekindled and so, i bought a 3DS. Havn't looked back, such a good console. And it works with DS games so i could play the classics again. This year has been busy for gaming for me. 3 major purchases, the first being a WiiU back in May/June. Nice machine, nice upgrade for the Wii and some good games. The whole time of gaming, i didn't get a Playstation. I had this feeling that Sony were a "curse on the industry" and didn't want to contribute to that. However, that opinion changed after E3 and in November, when i bought my first Playstation in the PS4. Following soon behind with a PS Vita. Having some good gaming moments already on both machines, and it makes me think why didn't i get a Sony machine earlier in life.
  22.
