Looks a little iffy, like the contrast has been beef'd up. From whats been said, and i'm with a few people here, i won't be sold on a purchase unless new content is added and/or i hear more of this "tuned up" experience. Other than that, i'm not usually for HD remakes. I still got a Wii, so Wind Waker looks alright enough on there for me to not warrent a purchase as of yet. I still havn't got a WiiU, nothing appeals to me for a purchase of the console as of yet. But who knows, maybe by years end i may have changed my mind.

Had a crap load of snow last Friday, must of been an inch or two. I didn't get a snow day either, that was my normal rota'd day off. All public transport was stopped, and expected the same for Saturday (it did snow again over night). But no, the train arrived. And my connection ran on time. Pavements were suicidal, but have since thaw'd and are slushy snow now (so grippable). I've had no delays or cancellations of services due to the adverse weather, which i suppose you could call lucky. But 1/2 the department took a snow day or two and they had less snow than i did, which is remotely unfair. As i mentioned on page 1, it's got to be impossible to travel on train/bus/car before they even consider a snow day. And if you call one, they check you ain't lying. If you are, then it comes out of annual leave/flexi or you are "persuaded" to come in.

Thats unfortunete guys, really is. It's not often online retailers let the side down.

Interesting subject indeed. With movies (DVD's/Blurays etc). I'm not overly fussed, as i've moved onto the Bluray format so i always go for brand new in this instance. Most of the time, they are brand-new so second hand isn't an option in this case.. DVD's, even though they are still around and being printed, i go for second hand if brand-new isn't available. Books, brand new. You can't beat that "new book" smell. Games, this is an iffy subject. I've had a few issues with second hand games compared to second hand movies, namely that they won't start and if they do, they freeze or crash 1/2 the time. This is going on the copies of Gears and Pokemon Silver i bought pre-owned recently. Most of the time, it's brand-new with this still. In my whole collection, 70% is brand new compared to 30% second hand.

GAME are doing a lock-in for this next month in Cardiff, may go along and see how the game is for myself. I'm probably not going to pre-order it, it's not likely to sell out or anything.

I certainly agree with the idea of getting rid of inactives, but at the same time they may not be inactive due to the fact they've got nothing to add which would change opinions/mindsets on players.

I'm not electrical either, and i can't cause power outages either.

Hilco takes control of HMV The owners of HMV Canada seem likely to take over HMV having bought the debt.

I'm not inactive this time around Jonnas. I targetted Yvonne last night, it would seem nothing happened to them as no target from themselves it would seem.

Sweet, i'll sort it out once i get home. Reminder, the next round draw is 9pm tonight

Good thing for me is that i don't make spontanious big purchases (like a TV or something), i only buy stuff like that if the last one breaks.

Indeed, have accepted. Time to give the new players a run and see what they can do.

I'm cautious, but yet i spend money. I save on average £200 a month, and transfer £120-£140 of it into my ISA every month which i use for big purchases. I leave £80-£100 in the account every month. And limit myself to £100 a week spending, which most goes on food and beverages.

Welcome back Mr Paulson, i look forward to seeing the video when i return home.

So it would seem HMV is closer to being saved, which is nice. At least for the time being anyway, and for those that threw away the giftcards. Well i hope the rubbish hasn't gone out yet.

For the East as well, Rondo is deserved for a spot and a well earned one as well. He's been on form and is a nightmare for teams if given chances for the basket. I got back into it this season, the league pass is great for us UK fans. I went for all the teams, worked out cheaper as it comes with the play-offs pack than by purchasing only one teams pack. If i have the time, i do watch some other teams. Celtics, Lakers, Raptors and the Timberwolves.

It's a shame, really is a shame. R.I.P

Last check, @Twozzok hasn't sent an invite over. Just a quick reminder, want to give the new players a run.

Bulls fan myself, last Fridays game vs Celtics was edge of the seat. Last shot of normal time from Bellinelli bought in the O/T, that was a lucky shot indeed. But Saturdays vs the Mavericks was unlucky, some bad officiating and sloppy play indeed. I think they are doing pretty good without Rose, who tore his ACL in the play-offs last season. They expect him back for the play-offs this year, but many fans would like him to be back at the start of the 2013/14 season instead. Got the East vs West match Febuary, and some great names have been included for the starting line-ups.

The idea came from Ville's NFL thread, anybody here watch the NBA?. Me, it's one of the few sports i watch along with F1 and Football. Many ways to watch (League Pass, "free sites" etc), and with Sky apparantly getting more matches this season (latest was the Pistons-Knicks game in London) compared to last season, it's a good time to be a fan.

As per usual.

I've spent some money to bring in some younger players for development. Bought a new defender, midfielder and striker to replace 2 retirees and a unskilled striker.
