Just been checking i've got everything sorted, then nearly had a panic as i thought i lost my hotel details. Been planning my route, will have to get off the train at Marston Green and walk to the hotel, then carry on around to the NEC. Will take about an hour total (including checking in), so should be by the NEC by half 10(ish) Hopefully will run into many of you over the weekend, if you see me feel free to stop me and say hi.

Not close to 280 as of yet, probably more close to 240 (i'm on 232 light). Which i need to be to unlock/give me a better chance at the Heroic Strikes to get better gear.

Yeah, i saw they were advertising the need to book. I don't know if Occulus will need booking, i've seen nothing as of yet

Anyone fancy co-oping the remainder of the TTK story with me this evening?

Ooo, nice. I also put my name down for a potential HTC VR slot on Sunday, have to wait to hear about that one. Probably run into you over the weekend, i'm very much looking forward to going. Apparantly, the Playstation VR slots ran out within an hour.

I loved Starfox 64, great game. I also quite liked Starfox Adventures as well, but not played Command or Assault.

It's a little slower than normal. Just reached level 40 and have a light of 214 (had a random Legendary drop in Crucible, and visited Xur for some guantlets). I do love the bug (is it a bug, i don't know), which allows you to basically replay all the old missions for more XP.

You still get materials, but in greater quantity i've seen. Not sure on the old public events, but the newer ones with the Taken are pretty fun.

That would explain why i can't see them on my screen.

Probably come to think of it. Still, it's bad publicity when they don't bring it South. Yes, they issued some out via email but still.

Going to finish off the mission to get my first year 2 exotic weapon this evening, shouldn't take me too long. Along the way, i'll reach level 40. And hopefully by then, i'll get access to the higher level strikes. Pretty sick of only being able to do the easy ones, the ones with nothing good on loot drops. Anyone not raiding or wants some help, feel free to join me. I'll be on from 8-9pm this evening until late.

I know one or two people thinking of getting Happy Home Designer. An issue i've seen Nintendo do with promoting this, is that they did them promotional cards. But only did them for the north (Manchester, Newcastle etc). Nothing down South for it. As for Triforce Heroes, yeah i feel that would be a Four Swords esq game and won't push too well.

Least i can get my first piece(s) of Exotic armor. Have Bungie left it as 1 exotic armor piece and 1 weapon still?

Apart from Xenoblade, there really isn't anything. I wouldn't say them Animal Crossing spin-off games are going to sell well. This is another reason as to why (i believe) you can't just own Nintendo, too many gaming droughts.

I've got tickets for the Saturday and early entry for the Sunday, went last year and loved it. I know a few other N-Europers going, probably run into everyone at some point. I went last year for a day and a 1/2, thought it wasn't enough time. With Playstation VR, you need to book a slot for that. Which slots going live around 1-2pm this afternoon. Edit: I just booked my slot @ 12:10pm on the Saturday

I wasn't expecting it this year at all, it was getting clear that it was going to be delayed. But as it's been said, apart from Xenoblade and Mario Tennis, what else has the WiiU got for the Christmas period. It's looking bleak indeed.

I don't think i'll reach 280 for raiding, i only just hit 200 last night. But, i did get the new arc powers (which are a lot of fun btw). So probably will sit out this weeks raiding, hopefully i hit it ready for next time. I've also been plodding along in the story, yet to get a decent new weapon (still rocking a scout/auto-combo from year 1). But i have heard that a quest i'm doing at the moment results in a year 2 exotic, so hopefully i'll have a new weapon soon. Just reached level 39, will be level 40 this evening. Then the fun will really begin.

I'm in, unless i get delayed. Will keep things posted

Even with TTK, it's not going to be a farewell to the older raids (Crota, Vault of Glass). I'm up for doing them just for the giggles really.

Friday evening, for those not raiding or anything, i'm online and happy to join a fireteam to do random shizzle.

I can't do either Friday (because i believe i won't be ready) or Saturday (busy all day and night) at the moment, could change on Saturday evening/night. But this would be a last minute decision.

Growing up is not as i expected it. Back in school, i had all this free time after 3:30pm. Perfect for socializing with friends, hanging out and all that. And all that holiday was great. In the job i had before this one, that hit hard with how little free time i had. Worked 10am until 7pm, getting home around 9pm and having 2, maybe 3 hours of an evening. And i couldn't exactly live for the weekend either, it was a job which rota'd weekends into working. Days off were in the week, and i couldn't do anything as all my mates were working. In that time, many of them settled down, and even though i still talk to them, it's not the same as it was. I understand that, it just makes me sad sometimes. Now, the job i have (it's the same company, just a different department) is much better. Yes it's 9-5:30pm, but i get close to 6 hours free time an evening to do with what i like, and i get to live for the weekends again. Even though i get 20 or so days holiday a year, i earn flexi which adds to that. I can get upto 3 days extra a month on top of the annual allowance. Growing up, it sucks as you learn the hard way that staying in can be "fun" (just like your parents have done for years). But the free time i get, i try and make the most of it. I've earned this job with it's benefits, and i like it. It is scary thinking i had too much free time in school, but i made the most of it and make the most of the time i have off now. But with that comes the responsibilities of growing up, something i've adapted into life (hard at first, but it's normal). And when i've been out of work, it shocked me how much free time i had.

For those in the Solar group, how does 8pm onwards on Sunday sound (as long as i'm levelled enough to do it by then) @Blade @MilaGi @Zell @Deathjam (? or @Dan_Dare) @ReZourceman I would say Saturday, but i'm busy most of the day.

Date and time is good for me, however i may be underlevelled/underpowered still. I'll have to let you know on the Friday, i only just started the story last night and have an entirely new armour which pushed my light to 190. I'll put in a few hours Thursday night and see how it goes. Hopefully by doing the story and some side missions i should make it. I only just unlocked the Arc story mission before coming off last night.

Finally started up again, was invited to do some Crucible and Strikes practically as soon as i arrived at the Tower. Managed to reach Level 37 without doing a lot, and it is weird getting rid of the older gear (well, not all of it as of yet) and getting new stuff to replace it. Not got a new Primary yet, still using my older ones for now. I can tell this will be a lot of fun over the coming weeks and months. Also did that The Legend of You thingy, apparantly i'm in the top 6% of Hive Ogre kills and the top 9% for grenade kills. And my nickname is (according to Bungie on that video) The Surgeon.
