Another U-Turn. What next, backwards compatibility?

Just don't answer the Where do you see yourself in 5 years question with "In your job" and you'll be fine. All of the above is great advice and i recommend it myself, having been to so, so many interviews over the years.

Room for one more?

Depends entirely on the game. Most of my gaming happens on the Gamepad. I play NSMBU on the Wiimote, only because i fancy retro-style controls. Monster Hunter on the Gamepad (because i like the map and HUD feature). Pikmin 3 is a combo of Gamepad and Wiimote/Nunchuck. But, i can use the Wii Classic Pro controller for MH3. Wonder if Wind Waker HD will allow this, or will i need to venture into a Pro Controller. Or will the Gamepad be enough, only time will tell with this. I agree there is a lot of choice with controllers, with Nintendo it is a lot of choice. Maybe too much, but i find it's ok. I only use the above choices anyway, even if i played Mario Kart Wii or Smash Brothers:Brawl (that, i use the Wiimote/Nunchuck combo)

I don't want to see Taker retire, i didn't like seeing Edge retire. But things happen, and it will be a sad day to see him go. Regarding the Bryan-Cena match, why do i have a feeling we'll see Orton walk out as champion after Bryan wins.

GAME advised me of that over the weekend when i pre-ordered some games. Luckly i had an order in since E3, unless GAME f**k it up and i don't get one at launch.

@Animal my first proper full-time job (which i didn't want to leave, but due to company activities that resulted in them buggering it all up which resulted in redundancies) had all the breathing room you wanted. You fancied the afternoon off, quick word with the boss and it was sorted. You were late in, not a problem. Regarding the medical, i asked to see the record of my meeting (which i'm allowed to do, as they give copies out if needed be). It was doctored (no pun intended) to say that i requested to see the works doctor. I made no such remark or request. But they are saying i did as per the record, so i may have to attend. Which i'm not, it's my day off out of all days and i don't intend to travel 45 minutes for a 15 minute appointment. And i am looking for work, got 6 on the burner at the moment which i'm hoping to hear back from. One i did hear back from, which i did call them to enquire how i could further my chances of gaining employment (i do that with some companies). They said based on the information they received from my current employment, i wasn't succesful.

Thought as much. They treat females 10x better than the males, it's the opposite of what said above for them. Some of them should have been sacked, but havn't.

You don't get that here. I'm in the moodset of "i don't give a rats anymore". People manipulate the system to favour them, others get spited and shot down. If you are just 1 minute late, they want a detailed explanation as to why you are late. This included breaks, lunches and starting. Once a call is finished, you've got a manager breathing down your neck pressing the "Ready button" on your phone if you are just taking a quick breather. If you go on the sick, you've got them pestering you to come back in by calling you daily. A mate of mine is on long-term sick. Nothing wrong with him, he's fine. He just can't be bothered to come in due to being stressed out, overworked and plainly annoyed with management techniques. The union said for him to go on the sick for a break. Without being sexist, was it a female on the phone?.

For the government (HMRC). It's one of the worst call centres i've worked for. Get treated like crap, don't get a second to breath after a call. I've said it many times here.

Just waiting for the golden axe to appear, so i can go on a massive tree re-organisation. Will involve chopping them all down and re-starting, so once it appears then i'm sorted. How many more sprouts do i need to buy, i swear i've bought 50 by now. Unless anyone has a gold axe i can have?

Indeed i can, if people are fine with that. 9pm tonight, i'll throw the links on when i get home

Before my week break, i had a meeting with my manager regarding any health issues that may be affecting my performance in work (it's only because i hate the place, nothing else but they don't know that as i lied and said nothing is affecting me). I don't tell them i hate the place and want to leave, they'll make it so easy and force me out as they've done with previous people who said they didn't like the job. I get home yesterday, and what do i find. A letter from work with an appointment made with the works doctor made for this Friday 9am. I'm not a happy bunny, and neither is the union who are contesting the reason as to why the apointment was made. The only way these are made is if the employee asks for one. Last time i saw the works doctor, they said there was nothing wrong. I saw my GP and he said i had mild depression.

X-360 I'm currently flipping between 3 games. Fable III, Tomb Raider and Assassins Creed III. I'll be adding Dishonored to the list once Fable is completed tonight or tomorrow. The latter 2 are great, but i'm getting annoyed with Fable now. Dishonored, that is one game i regret not ever completing so i intend to do just that. Nintendo 3DS Flipping between Animal Crossing: New Leaf (can't put it down) and Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate. Transferred my WiiU save over, it passes the time on long train journeys. WiiU Again, a flip between Pikmin 3 (brilliant, yet peaceful game) and Earthbound. Both are cracking games indeed.

Celebrities is such a loose term, i call them failures, unknowns and people desperate for some TV time so they can get something more.

Picked up a new striker today, 20-7 for 812,200. He's valued at over 2 million. Anyone fancy a friendly for Friday?

Last new game i recall finishing. It was ok i guess, nothing special to it. To be perfectly honest, they could have avoided making it and i wouldn't have cared less about it. This was a simple cash-in by Epic/People can Fly. Story was ok, i did like the extra things to do per section instead of the standard setting. The worst element of the game is the multiplayer, they took what was good about Gears 3 and ripped it out and threw it away. And i have no idea why, even to this day. The other game i've completed is It's not as good as i remember it to be, still a good game though. Too many flaws and glitches spring to mind, especially the 3rd Fable which i've just about completed now. That has so, so many gaps and glitches i can't list them all here. I remember them printing the game without any checks, and games were crashing and freezing. People were being locked in Reavers Manor etc. Music is good, the area designs are good. Characters are interesting. The thing i disliked with FII is how your character become some overgrown butch person with giant hands, head, feet etc. Which didn't occur with Fable III for some reason, which was good.

You know, i havn't received "Perfect Fruit" since day 1. I think it's random, and a rare occurance. Don't quote me on that, but that's my belief. I'll try and remember that, someone said with the Scorpion that it jumps. That is the chance to catch it whilst it's in mid-air. That didn't work either.

That's what i was thinking, plus if the One comes out 1 month before the PS4 that gives them an advantage in the market. What would be interesting, release both on the same day.

I didn't think of that, why didn't i hide them by the mushrooms. Damn

Toys R Us are stating the UK release for the PS4 is December 13th 2013. They confirm this is accurate, but no-one else has not even Sony. What sort of date would be suitable for this, considering the One is coming out in November.

That seemed to be my exact problem. I tend to take all the Pikmin out of the pods before heading out. Maybe limiting the number i take is the way forward.

Near enough exactly how i do games, i keep swapping between consoles before i've even completed the game i've started. As it stands at the moment, i've got 3 Xbox 360 games to beat and 4 Wii-U games. And i regret selling Dishonored before completing it, so i have a possible chance to rebuy that soon. But i shall after beating a few games.
