People whom post "competitions" on facebook, that annoys me beyond. I won't unfriend them because i'm pretty good friends with them, so i unfollow them and block any competitions i see crop up.

I think the cheapest i've ever seen it at retail was £23, and that was in a sale.

I'll be picking it up, once i've completed a few other games first. That's my problem, always buying games and never completing them.

I left my PS4 on standby earlier, may try and use the Vita remote play to have a few races during my lunch.

First post here for a while, and it's about my job. And yes it's bad again (didn't think i'd ever have to say that). I'll start with the good news, which is the job i'm "training" to do is 70-30 off and on phones, majority off-phones with occasional phone calls from people making enquiries. The job itself sounds like it will be challenging, interesting and a lot of fun. Sounds good so far. And now, the bad. This part is really annoying me (and many others). When i say training, it's basically electronic learning. No actual trainers or anything, there are a few people wandering around giving out the days activities (which is all electronic learning packages), with the occasional team activity. Training is 4 weeks long, and in the last 3 weeks we've basically learned nothing about the job. First week was all health and safety stuff, 2nd week was all customer service. We didn't need that week, we've all come from call centres and know all there is to know about customer service. What we've learned about the job so far is a few hours on being shown the systems, with trainers who love to dodge questions. We need to have an understanding on how the system works, which is more electronic learning. The problem is, as the last 2 weeks have been all nothing to do with the job, they are squashing in all we need to learn about the job into 1 1/2 weeks. 4 weeks training into 1 1/2 weeks is not good. So far, most of us are behind on the schedule because of the sheer volume of stuff to learn. They give us something we need to learn, within minutes being told it's an activity based on that and 3 other pieces of learning we've not learned. Organisation isn't the strongest point, in fact it's non-existant. I've bought this to the manager, saying i don't believe it's fair and the training is rubbish as we are learning nothing about the job. So far, nothing has been addressed. I've been told i've looked not interested in the training, which as there really isn't a structure to follow how can anyone be interested. As i mentioned, i'm not the only one as out of the 40 or so people training, about 10 are knowledgeable enough to be ready to go live with the job next week.

I think the challenges have arrived, was doing a tour and had 3 random challenges appear in-game. Managed to beat 2 of them, but one was impossible (unless i was using a Rocket, average speed of over 7k).

Got the club level to 10 earlier, very nice. I'm having a bash at some of the times you've set @Cookyman, managed to beat one so far. And at least my online is lasting this time.

I watched this the other night, i'm impressed that he managed to multitask 3 games to completion in 51 minutes. I'm done a few speed runs myself, i think i managed to finish Ocarina in 8 hours once or twice, but that was doing all the Temples/Dungeons etc. And only collecting heart containers/items if they were on the path to the next area.

Every 10 battles you have, you get a "Challenger Approaching" siren and a new character appear for a battle. I unlocked a few through playing Classic and All Star modes as well, i believe each character can be unlocked in multiple ways. Easiest being Smash mode with the standard "10 battles". Regarding Smash run, i don't quite get it either. You level up your character, then after 5 minutes battle the 3 CPU characters whom have been doing the same. This mode does sound like it should be online for more fun.

It depends on how i go into the corner with drift challenges, sometimes i go in ok and powerslide around it and drive back out. Other times, i go in and powerslide and do a 180.

Well, i spoke too soon. Managed to get 2 hours online before disconnecting again. Oh well, nice to be able to see part of the online features.

Aim for the hole, get there in the shortest amount of strokes..............

I can foresee the queues being longer than the Xbox One queues in China. I'm more amazed it's actually coming out on the WiiU Probably won't be long before it hits a bargain bin, i'll give it a month or two.

Bloody hell, i'm online. And it seems to be staying on. The club level seems quite low, guess it's something to do with my low club level. Seeing as i'm a level 15, guess i need to do more club challenges or something to get it up. Edit: My level updated on the club, overall we are a 6. Not bad indeed.

Go as Oddjob from the movies, or that of the remake on the Wii?

If the guy wants people to give the people whom travel on the new Titanic, hopefully it's only the good experience. So that's the music, the atmosphere etc. Calling the ship "Titanic 2" isn't exactly going to give people confidence as it's been said. At least if the worst scenario happens, there are enough life jackets and boats to get everyone off.

I'll have to check to see if i am still in the club, it said i was last time the servers were online. If the servers are coming on slowly, but surely then that's great news indeed.

I tell ya what, i hate how you get penalised for the AI smacking into you whilst doing an overtake, or going around a corner.

Not bad, not bad. Replaying the Donkey Kong County console trilogy was something i wanted to do on the WiiVC, but missed out on. Once i clear a few games from my severe Nintendo backlog (yes it's long, 15 games long), i'll have a look into getting them.

I'm hoping they get this sorted pretty quick.

@Cookyman, the servers came on long enough to allow me to join the club. Which i have done. Reached level 12 today, only played about 3 hours or so. Boy this is a lot of fun, no idea whom was reviewing the game. This game is easily worth 8/10

Even during the Final Battle, Falco always has time to hunt for food.

Well, what can i say. Played about 2 hours, did some time trails and challenges. I'm impressed by it, even more so than the 15 or so minutes i played a few weeks ago. Redeemed my pre-order codes, downloaded the free car available on PSN. Still considering the Season pass, but for £19.99 can't go wrong really. @Cookyman, got the invite to join the club. I'll be able to do so, once the Driveclub servers work properly.

A few random pictures from my adventures on Smash.

There were quite a few issues with a few games including Driveclub, Destiny and NBA 2K15. Hopefully the issues are sorted for Driveclub this weekend, want to have a good crack at some races with glorious 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound.
