Sign me up for the new year (if it's then, if not then sign me up anyway)

I wasn't planning on getting Captain Toad, but after playing a demo it changed my mind. Maybe Nintendo are firing all cylinders for the holiday season, get this out early and see what happens.

Shopto have charged my account as of 1pm today. This is a surprise, get Far Cry done over the weekend then i could have Captain Toad and Kirby to play over the holidays.

Been told i have to go back on the phones in January to help out in a peak. I've voiced my opinions to my manager and they'll see if there is any way i can avoid taking calls. I'm not the only one, there are about 6 or 7 others whom do not want to take phone calls and have also voiced their opinions to the manager. Have heard they'll take individual concerns into account before deciding whom goes. Seriously thought i'd left the call centre for good in September.

Hmm, not got any emails from Shopto yet. May be a processing thing so it's ready to go after Christmas, who knows.

I'd probably swap the HDD's over and use it, thus selling my launch model.

Work installed Chrome on everyone's computers. Yeah, no more Internet Explorer.

Well done you

Finished all my Christmas shopping earlier, so bought myself a little something.

That does seem like a strange choice. What next?

It was the last one in GAME in Cardiff, however they had quite a few others in stock.

FALCON GOT!!!!! I took this with the flash on, the non-flash was too dark.

Sigh, EE really are turning into scrooges. In my area, you want 4G you need to be on EE as neither Vodafone or o2, whom offer 4G but don't have the coverage outside of London. I think EE don't want anyone having 4G exept them. I've already decided i'm leaving EE at the end of my contract after the monumental f**k up that had occured with Orange/EE over the last year and a half (their fault, not mine)

I tend to go through 3 of them 5 things after an exeptionally heavy night out.

We complain about GAME all the time, then they do stuff like this. Selling 1/2 the Amiibo's at one price, and the new lot at the RRP a week early.

Well, thanks to a certain train company it's taken me 3 1/2 hours to get home on a journey which should only take 1 1/4 hours from the time I finish work to when I get through the front door. In that weather as well, the trains didn't stop or didn't come at all. Took me 1 1/4 hours to get from work back into Cardiff. Then had an hour and a half wait for my next train.

It's ok to have 1 beer each night, just don't drink too many each night. Then it becomes a problem. I'm happy to have 1 beer near enough every night (apart from Sundays and Mondays). In fact, as I write this I have a beer.

I'm interested in it.

Didn't they say (somewhere) that they'll only discontinue the less popular ones over time. But not this soon, maybe in the next 6 months.

McLaren confirm Jenson Button will partner with Fernando Alonso next season, with Magnussen remaining on as a test/reserve driver

I was thinking such a thing would happen. It would be hard enough trying to get one due to the limited numbers available.

So, so many games I’ve played over the years. I’d consider these timeless classics Ocarina of Time First 3D Zelda, and it had such an amazing story. I loved it from beginning to end. The way Nintendo developed this game, when you helped some characters out it felt great to do this. The first time seeing Hyrule Castle Market after 7 years in deep sleep made me go “whoa”. And stepping out into Hyrule Field for the first time ever, it felt magical and took my breath away. I wish I could relive that exact moment again. Goldeneye 007 Many people played this after watching the film, I played this before watching the film. Rare’s first (and only) 007 game and they set the way in terms of how each game was to play in terms of objectives in missions. The level designs were great, music was great. And I loved them easter eggs. Super Mario World One of the finest Mario games made, I can’t really argue with that. Have played it a few times, each time I’m discovering it’s more than just a simple “point a to point b” plat former game. Well, it is that as a basic, but adding extra exits made it a point a to point b/c or d A Link to the Past Until Ocarina of Time came along, this was developed. Arguably one of the finest Zelda games ever made, it certainly feels like Nintendo put all their effort into making this on the SNES. Such a vast game in terms of story, things to collect and the size of Hyrule itself. Entwined Even though I’ve recently finished this on the Vita (thank’s to a Black Friday sale + extra PS+ discount). I found this to be a simply marvellous game. A game which is so simple in terms of the objective, which feels like it’s a story of sadness and joy all rolled into one. The Last of Us In the modern gaming world we live in now, there isn’t many games which you could class as a masterpiece. The Last of Us is one such game. In terms of what Goafer said, this is a mature game story-wise. Not gory or scary (there were one or two moments I thought which were a little jumpy). Having played it on the PS4, I believe this console does the game justice in terms of how stunning it should look. I loved the environments and the detail Naughty Dog went into with this. Pokemon Red/Blue It set the path in motion for what is one of the top selling gaming franchises of all time. A game where collecting, raising and battling virtual creatures (of all sizes) became so popular, it spawned many movies, TV shows. Not forgetting the card-based game, not as popular today as it was, but still popular. Leaving Pallet Town with either a Charmander, Squirtle or Bulbasaur off onto an adventure is a moment that sticksi in my mind. I’ll probably add to this list as and when I think of others.

Very popular these Amiibo's, especially after reading (either on here or elsewhere) that there are some people whom think they need these to play as the characters in Smash so are out buying them all. I've got all the Wave 1 Amiibo's i'm after at the moment (Fox, Yoshi, Kirby and Link). May get 1 or two Wave 2 Amiibo's after Christmas, and i've got a Wave 3 pre-ordered (Lucario) already.

Got myself a few wave 3's ordered from Nintendo, rather get them direct myself.
