I think i may have been overlooked for yet another project, 2nd time this may have happened*. The current project we're on is coming to an end, well it has ended it's just the occasional dregs of it coming through. So most days i've nothing to do. So when i heard of a new project, i inquired about it and heard the team i'm on would be getting it. So on an email on Friday, my name wasn't on the new project list and it was left on the dregs side. I mean, there's nothing on it to do. *1st time was November last year when we had a project came in, and i wasn't chosen as i had a "bad quality score". Yeah, this was only because the gits accused me of not doing any work and decided to put me through 6 months of pure workplace misery

What a movie

All prepped for Civil War, booked to see it tomorrow afternoon. First Avenger and Winter Soldier re-watched, i'm pumped now.

Name: Nintendo NX (Home Console) & Nintendo NX Portable (Handheld) Graphical capability: equal to the PS4 (Home) & PSP Vita (Handheld) Controller style: 1 controller like the WiiU Pro (in design) for the home console, but has a mini-touch screen/pad like the PS4 controller. Keeping with Nintendo's style of being backwards compatible, the WiiU tablet would be compatible to allow the NX to play WiiU games with ease. The NX Portable would have the touch screens and be compatible with the home console NX. Would be backwards compatible with the 3DS, so has a card slot for these games to be played on the system. Fold-able like the 3DS so it can be carried around. The gimmick: Cross-buy and save between both the NX Home and Portable. Including VC games, which would work on both systems regardless. Hard drive size: Default would be a 500gb HDD which can easily be upgraded if required (similar to how it can be done with the PS4) Launch lineup: Zelda WiiU port, a new Pikmin, Animal Crossing NX and possibly whatever Retro is cooking up. 3rd party, expecting the usual Dance game and maybe whatever WiiU game Ubisoft had cooked up, but ported to the NX. And of course, a fully stocked Virtual Console (existing VC's on 3DS and WiiU updated to work on the NX consoles at launch) No. of Bundles available at launch: 1, which would be the Home and Portable bundled together. Both consoles sold separatly. Price: £299 (NX Home). £179 (NX Portable) and £399 (both Home and Portable). Each console bundled with 1 game and all necessary stuff to get things going (bar the plug for the Portable, existing 3DS charger cable compatible with console) Release date: March 2017 (probably March 17th)

Made a start last night, completed Episode 1: Chrysalis

All that's needed now is to get Serebii out of being single and with a nice woman. It's partly complete, then it's #MissionSerebii over.

Been having a mooch on another popular gaming forum, seems that Amazon and an "un-named retailer" have broken street date by 2 weeks

Another good weekend done and dusted (why do they go so quick). Met Sophie's parents, both loved me and think i'm the best thing to arrive into Sophie's life. Also met her grandparents, brother and various friends and family members over the course of the weekend.

The Vue in Cwmbran has a VIP section in the middle, which was strange to see considering the cinema wasn't that big in comparison to others i've been to. Booked tickets to go to Cineworld, snagged the last 2 middle seats (well, the 2 in the area Sophie likes to sit). I'm not normally fussed, anywhere from the middle up is fine for me. Started warming up for Civil War, watched The First Avenger last night and plan to watch The Winter Soldier on Tuesday evening after work.

Booked to see this on the Saturday evening coming up.

I've heard it's an entire new region, no idea on the size though. Perhaps White Orchard, maybe bigger?

Apparantly it's an overdose that killed her. What is it with 2016, so many greats have died this year. Her feud with Chris Jericho was excellent, and being the first woman to enter the Royal Rumble and win the Intercontinental Title. I did hear rumours that the WWE were looking to make her the first woman to win the WWE title, but the plans got nixed. It's too bad she went really downhill in 2001 and went the way she did, otherwise she'd be in the Hall of Fame by now (and to be fair, it's well overdue). What's to say the WWE don't look at putting her in next year? R.I.P

Another great comedian, and yet again the cause is cancer. Sod 2016. R.I.P

Just snapped up Life is Strange and Shovel Knight, nice bargains.

Started playing Unravel yesterday

Replaying Asylum is something i'd be interested in doing. Much preferred the first over City and Knight.

It's been a strange few weeks/months. Compared to last year, i've not played many games this year. It's a combination of Witcher 3 taking it out of me in January, and the fact i started dating again after so many years. And that i now have a girlfriend. Most of my gaming is on the Vita at the moment, got the Assassin's Creed Chronicles to play as well as Ratchet and Clank. Can play these games on my commute to and from work.

Had a good weekend, new bed arrived on Friday at 7:45am (pretty early, but hey i'm not complaining). Had the entire day booked off as they gave the window of "delivery between 8am and 6pm". So that was good. Had it all set-up on by 11am, and as i had the entire day off i decided to surprise Sophie by showing up to her work with a bunch of her favourite flowers. Saturday, she arrived with me to meet my parents. Had a nice chat, then we went and did our own thing before heading out for a meal in the evening at the local. Had a nice evening out, had a few drinks and a nice meal. Sunday, just chilled out for a few hours before she headed home.

If Nintendo offered a reason for me to pay for online, then i would. The current online model, leave it as it is (think of it as Xbox Live Silver). The paid model (Gold) would be the upgrade, so maybe party chat and a few additional features within (perhaps a Miitomo-style mode for interacting with friends when they come online). Also, maybe a library similar to PS Now. Except Nintendo let you download the game for the duration instead of streaming (we know what Nintendo's online is like). And access to the cloud to store saves* Both the free and paid should let you play online regardless. *Of which i do finally hope that Nintendo catch-up and offer cross-buy.

@Aneres11, if it's still not sorted (and even if it is), get onto the ombudsman and lodge a complaint.

Oh my............ Got a Hhhnnnnngggg from me to. If Hearts of Stone is to go by, this will be fantastic. Wonder if they'll release something with this like they did Hearts of Stone (Gwent pack)

Driveclub: Destiny Edition or Destiny to Drive(club)

Can't remember for sure, i know i was looking for a Nintendo Europe site. Did stumble on N64 Europe in it's last days before it became Cube Europe. Lurked most of Cube Europe, signed up and the rest is history.

Boy, this is a toughie. Could be Uncharted 4, Horizon: Zero Dawn (if it comes this year), No Man's Sky or Zelda U
