If that's the case, then that's good. But even if Sky don't get the Network (probably find they are throwing money at the WWE, whom probably need it), i can see them impacting what the Network in the UK will be like e.g no live PPV's as Sky Sports have them. And if it's exactly the same, i'll keep the US Network as it's £3 cheaper.

That's a bad decision by the pub @martinist. Them CD jukeboxes always had faults, dodgy CD's which skipped songs and buttons which wouldn't work in general.

I've virtually given up on Destiny for the time being, until the DLC comes out. It's giving me a chance to clear my backlog at the moment, 2-3 games a month. I'm on target for that, having cleared Watch Dogs and Kirby already. The dynamic weather will be interesting to say the least, especially if it works like the day/night cycle at the moment. Imagine driving along, and get hit by a torrential rain storm or snow shower. That makes for some interesting driving.

Swish, i'll attempt to download it whilst in work so it's ready for when i get home.

Right, i've caught up with the entire series. And now join in with the discussions

I don't see why the sequel can't be a cross-buy between PS4 and Vita, would keep both parties happy.

The beauty of Driveclub is, you can play for 5 minutes or 5 hours. Every little helps i see it as. I've not been on since last week, will have a few races this week and add to the club.

Best of luck everyone, randomly selected whom the donations will be going to.

According to various sources, update 2.0 goes live next week. Watch this space i assume.

I'll have a look at the direct later, but Mewtwo as an incentive for buying both WiiU and 3DS editions is cool.

Online is certainly more stable for me than it ever has been, still a few disconnections (but only for a short time) but hopefully they iron them out. Managed to clear the semi-pro races last night, in the process unlocking a few more cars (including one for the club). Will push to clear the Pro races over the next few days, see what that brings. Wonder what sort of tracks we'll be getting for free?

Happy (belated) birthdays both, hope it was a good one.

Mine is all on the System at present, may move it to a HDD one of these days. I kind of wish Nintendo would do Cloud saves like Sony and Microsoft do, would be handy if there were any cross platform games on WiiU and 3DS (like Monster Hunter for example). Would save having to transfer the entire save to another system.

Happy Birthday, have a good one.

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.
