ITV confuse Sir Lenny Henry with Ainsley Harriott. As you can guess, twitter exploded with tweets on this

Finished Kung Fu Rabbit on the Vita earlier. It's not too bad, basically it's a platformer-esq game, and you play as a rabbit. Levels get progressively harder as you go through, and once done there is a hard mode which kicks in making the easy levels harder and the hard ones, well you know where i'm coming from. Adding that on my list of completed games this year. Number is now 38 this year, only a fraction to that of @Hero\-of\-Time (well done on the achievement of 100 games)

Yeah, it's quite fascinating how you can squeeze so much into the day. Which brings me to my next question. Do you sleep?

For me, it varies like yourself. Firstly, i do have a full time job. I'm out of the house for anything between 10 and 12 hours a day (7:30am until around 6:30-7pm). As i don't drive into work, i do make the most of the commuting time to work. With this, i either listen to music, play on the Vita/3DS or read a book. I get around 45 minutes (each way, i work in Cardiff) to do this. I do go to the pub and do social activities with friends, in fact that gets priority over many other things (apart from family and work). I'm out every Saturday from 8pm until 2/3am and most Wednesday* nights. And if there are things on like cinema trips, days out etc then i'll happily do these over gaming. Even some of my socialising is done over gaming, i go to gaming events once or twice a month and meet up with some good friends over a game of Smash Brothers/Mario Kart. *Only for 1 or 2 after work. I do watch TV/box-sets and sports. But it does depend on what's on, if it's shows i'm really interested in (Walking Dead, Game of Thrones etc) then i'll give priority to watch the shows. Other times with sports (i'm only interested in the F1 and NBA), it depends on how it's going. With the F1 at the moment being quite predictable, i tend to have that on in the background and do something else like gaming whilst it is on. I'd say on average (on a weekday), i have about 5 hours a night for doing my own thing. Taking off the social aspect and house stuff (and TV), i can get in about 2 or 3 hours about 3 nights a week (Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays). Fridays, days off and weekends (weekends i'm not doing anything), i can get in 6-8 hours. In regards to Hero of Time, he must have one of them things Hermione Granger has in Prisoner of Azkaban. He must live out a normal life, then go back in time to do his gaming.

Ok, what happened?. Only battles i had were vs @Glen\-i, never fought @Ugh first aid. So, unless i've missed something, i don't get how he goes through. -

Yeah, just realised that. I set up for a match before @Dcubed set out the rules. What's going on then. -

Where do you find your Mii for online play? Edit: Never mind -
Keep at it, it has a steep learing curve. But once you've got that, it's all fun and games afterwards. The bikes has a steeper learning curve.

The N-Europe Super Smash Bros Anniversary Tourney Thread

Should be ok, got an engineer round at the moment and it's fixed. Should be ok. Luckly there is off-screen play, Walking Dead is on at 9pm as well. -
The N-Europe Super Smash Bros Anniversary Tourney Thread

Apologies for last night, my internet went off (i use ethernet cables), the PS4 was able to still connect wireless to the router, but the WiiU wasn't able to, something with the range of the WiFi. Apologies again. -
Good races none the less, apologies for the random disconnection i had.
-
I'm hating my WiiU, first it doesn't recognize my pro controller. And now, it just turned itself off.

I'm back this week

I've got some fond memories of Super Smash Brothers, picked up the 1st on the N64 pre-owned on a trip to town. Didn't know what to expect, but found it was something unique. A perfect addition to the multiplayer gaming nights with friends (along with Mario Kart 64 and Goldeneye). I remember the long nights just playing with friends, i always picked Link or Kirby. Picked up Melee like a lot of us did when the Gamecube came out. This game just increased my love of the franchise. More characters, more stages and a lot more fun. I still had gaming nights with friends, but they were a lot less than before. Melee had a lot of improvements in side-activities, which i loved a heck of a lot. Then Brawl, ok a lot of people say Melee is better than Brawl. And in some cases, i'd agree. But in other cases i don't. Yes, this was the first Smash to feature online play, which was a great addition to the game. Ok it wasn't the best online mode, but i liked it. I liked being able to use the Gamecube control pad for this game, wasn't a fan of using the Nunchuck/Wiimote for this game. And then we come to Smash Bros U/3DS. One, or both of these games are a staple of Streetpass events i attend each month. Have at least a few matches each time an event is on, we even try to have regular online matches with the WiiU edition. I don't play Smash as i used to play it these days, but i do try and get a few matches going online to keep my appetite of the game going.

I've been seriously considering my position where i am, it's getting pretty bad. Didn't know it was possible for somewhere you considered making a career out of being turned into a stop-gap for the next job. Going to sit this out for a while longer and see how it goes, but i am starting looking for other jobs to work elsewhere. It's a shame, i was really liking this as a career.

I focused initially on getting my Igni, health and "one handed" combat attack stats up, have started focusing on getting Quen and Axii after having a few mates recommend i do that.
-
Loving the love for @Rummy But in seriousness, it's a great idea for a thread. Favorite online games in the past have included Uno, Gears of War, Forza and Mario Kart 7 on the 3DS. These days, it's Destiny, Mario Kart 8, Smash Brothers and NBA.

Last week, achieved my 2nd Platinum by finishing the first season of Game of Thrones (Telltale games). I felt a tad disappointed with the final episode in comparison to the earlier ones, but same as Walking Dead, this was one of the easier Platinum's to achieve.
-
Anyway, i'd be interested if BISH was to make a triumphant return.

I sometimes hate the Royal Fail around my area. I ordered something on ebay, and even though it was not meant to arrive until next week, i found it in my recyling box outside the house. Not normally an issue as they would leave a card to tell me where it is, but nothing. Can't be sure what day though, but it was signed for by someone. Again, no idea whom and no-one in the house signed for it.

Just me and you (at the moment). Wouldn't be much of a race/league tbf

In my opinion, Game of Thrones Season 1 pales in comparison to Walking Dead. It starts off well, but then goes down. Walking Dead is far better story and character-wise than Game of Thrones.

Didn't get the ending i was expecting
