Sad day today being Fergie and Schole's last games for United. Wigan need a result against Arsenal, otherwise bye bye. Which could mean a championship side vs a prem side for the shield.

Sign me up, i can handle another mafia.

Thought i'd share it here as well.

Slight bump, it's also in the "Awesome" thread. Space Oddity, from space itself!!!

Wow, Ninty are certainly giving us a treat indeed with these 30p classics. Kirby's Adventure is a great title, one that i've downloaded. Super Metroid, another title i've not played before.

I noticed a few titles in HMV in Cardiff were cheaper than in GAME (by a full £10!!!) That Injustice was one such title

32gb HDD for the WiiU is shocking to say the least, but the 360 at launch came with 20gb HDD before the various upgrades to the memory. Ninty should really have made the 32gb one the basic and something like 100gb (maybe higher) as a premium model. I've not downloaded anything since the WiiU stupidly large update (got my Wii stuff on an SD card) but i can see myself getting a large HDD by years end.

Sorry guys, i was trying to get the stream going but i was having internet issues on the PC, and had lag which made the stream impossible to watch.

Half the time, i leave the forum open and wander off. So it may seem i'm on 24/7, but i may not be. I'll inform the GM next time if i become that inactive, heck i missed the Xpert draw this week. Still, back on topic. Hack n slashes @Rummy are something i have a bit of interest in playing, so i may have a look into Darksiders. But as you said, the quicker i do it the better.

Interesting indeed, may give it a go. Anyone wishing to have a match or two with me, my codes on the side. I'll only leave the match if it's over or my connection times out.

Didn't know that was a Wii-U title? Yeah i know, apologies. Was feeling a little down of recent, my rant in the bad thread probably explains it.

Got a mate who's got a ethernet splitter which he's giving to me, so once thats sorted the PC and 360 will be wired in.

That's a good price indeed.

I've got it all wired up now. No disconnections at all. Gonna wire my entire room now, because the router is in a place which i find unacceptable for a wireless connection. I recommend these if your wireless router is not able to be moved Plug and Play LAN.

Indeed, we are planning on moving the phoneline back to it's old location. As and when that will happen, no idea. I moved the Wii-U to where my Xbox was and it did the same as i desribed. Heck, i even put my 3DS on top of my Wii-U (whilst the U was off) and i got a 2-3 bar internet connection steady. I got one of them Homehub 3 routers. The Wii-U is in my room, which isn't too far from the router (it's about 5 or so meters from the routers location in diagonal terms). I get a steady 5/5 on my PC for connection, 2/3 bars on the 360 and 2/3 bars on the 3DS. Where-as the Wii-U, 2 out of 3 bars and it keeps disconnecting. I did some seaching online, and it would seem using a LAN adapter is my best solution. So @Agent Gibbs, when my kit arrives tomorrow i shall let you know. As long as i don't disconnect every 30 seconds i don't care. I only want to use Miiverse and play Monster Hunter online.

You need to buy the upgrade on the WiiU menu's, the Wii menu you can continue to use the Wii points. I checked last night after the upgrade. As far as i know, if the content was on the Wii before the transfer, then it's applicable for the upgrade.

£1.50 is the cost, compared to getting it new @ £5.50. I think it's only if it was existing on the Wii beforehand, i don't think it will work this way around.

I think this is the right place for this, i know it's console-related but.... Since my Wii-U arrived yesterday, i ran the connection to get it going on the internet. It said it was connected to the net, which was good. But during the stupidly large update, it disconnected from the internet probably 50 times. And since the update, it either connects for 5 minutes before disconnecting or won't connect at all. Usually fires many error messages at me, and checking those online they are mainly interferance issues. Firstly, moving the router closer is out of the question. It's my parents house, and it's fixed in the room it's in (thanks to BT). We are in the process of considering a new location for it, but it will involve moving the phone line to do this. My Xbox 360, PC, Nintendo 3DS and Smartphone all connect fine to the router where it is just to inform. I've tried one solution already, which was to manually enter the internet connection stuff onto the Wii-U (IP, SSID etc). I can connect it via my phone, but that will only be used for downloading Virtual Console titles or game updates/patches at present. It works, but gives error messages still. It randomly connects/disconnects all the time. The only other option i have is to hard-wire the Wii-U to the router via a LAN adaptor/ehternet connection or via the PC and share the internet that way with the LAN adaptor. I can't give a full answer until i get home tonight, but anyone got any solutions i can try before i fork out £30

I managed to get it today, finally. Now the pain in the arse bit. Trying to connect the Wii-U to the internet long enough to allow the system update to commence.

Society (in some cases, not all) are complete tools. I've had many a problem with the people who live around the area, and they expect help when they have issues. I've forwarded on my complaint to the council.

21st is fine with me Reminder, next round of the cup draw takes place tonight @ 8pm.

Aye, the neighbors have received many complaints to the council about their behavior, attitude etc (in the whole section i'm in, they are the only ones in a council-owned place). I've forwarded on my issues to them, who knows. Maybe they may be forced to move away. I've been round the house 3 times this morning, i know they are there. They don't want to answer the door. As soon as i see them walk out the door, which won't be long, i'll be straight out the door.

Nope, 8 hours before i bang on the door. Best get some sleeps. I had the boxes in my hands in-store, ordered them for £10 cheaper on Amazon. They arrived the other day, again at neighbors. Remind me, next time that the neighbor wants me to hold onto a package, to hold it for a week.
