    Okay, so I haven't seen the film, I do so tomorrow night with my friends.

     

    But I'm watching TWS and I've had a massive coin drop which no-one has mentioned before in any speculation, at least to the best of my knowledge.

     

    This could be a spoiler, so

    Bucky killed the Starks. When Arnim Zola is showing Cap footage from across the decades of Hydra's rise, when he mentions change being implemented by killing people off, The Winter Soldier is obviously shown. And then?

     

    The paper about the Stark's accident comes up on screen. It makes incredible sense: it's a reason for Tony to HATE Bucky, and with his father being a key member/co-founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., it makes sense from Hydra's point of view to have him killed. I'll have to wait and see tomorrow

    I am wrong in thinking there is not an actual delay? This is the first time they have announced the launch date so why is everybody saying there is a 4 month delay?

     

    Maybe they wanted to launch pre Christmas and hit snags, maybe they wanted to give Wii U one more Christmas period to drain every last drop of sales from it and maybe that's just when the NX will be ready.

     

    Not releasing before Christmas is an incredibly risky move, for many, many reasons that I think we've all gone into.

     

    One of the major pointers to this being a delay is that we were last year promised more information at this year's E3 by the late Iwata (may he rest in peace). I mean, his death alone left a massive void in Nintendo.

     

    What makes even less sense, though, is that we're seeing a game scheduled for an NX launch next year, the new Zelda game. With the informed rumours that porting games will be easier than ever this time around, the only viable argument for the delay seems to be manufacturing issues.

     

    Because we all know that Nintendo ideally needed a release before Christmas of this year.

    The 3DS and PS3 show the issue of launching at a too high price. You could probably argue that with the Wii U too - it's still too bloody expensive right now!

     

    Nintendo really need to get this launch right.

     

    That's absolutely right.

     

    So, question for you guys: how much do you think the NX will cost for us consumers at launch?

     

    Definitely going to be the first Nintendo console to sell for more than £300 at launch, in my opinion. (Then again the premium 32gb Wii U was £300, so that's really not saying much)

    Just got around to reading their official tweet about the release:

     

    The next generation of #Nintendo is coming March 2017! #NX

     

    next generation

     

    Don't know about you guys but this definitely doesn't just feel like a change in home console. It sounds more like a revamp of their entire line.

     

    Hybrid or not, could they be simultaneously releasing the new home console and the new handheld? That would be bold.

     

    Very bold.

    Can't help but feel the NX is going to have a marketing presence at the Super Bowl next year (February 5th). I think Pokémon's near pointless $5 million ad in the Super Bowl just gone shows that they may want to go down that route.

     

    Especially with it being a month before release? Makes far too much sense to me for them not to go ahead with a big Super Bowl presence.

    This is downright weird.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I'm excited we finally have a confirmation on the release, but a March release is extremely weird. Some have pointed out that this is when handhelds are traditionally released, but we're definitely getting something new as our home consoles. I mean, they've slowed down Wii U production rapidly, haven't they?

     

    Super weird that they're missing out on the Christmas window, but then again, that slot has arguably been taken up by Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Pokémon Sun and Moon, so really I think it's good business on their behalf. Why go head-on with the updated PS4K/4.5 and XBOX consoles, who are guaranteed to sell third party games that you may have got your hands on, if people already had the other consoles? Plus arguably the largest handheld game release and movie releases of the year?

     

    Stranger yet that we're only getting Zelda at E3. That's bizarre.

     

    EDIT: and wait, so NX is the official title of this thing?

    The trailer...was genuinely a little bit better. I was going to see it anyway, but I was getting X-Men 3 vibes before. Not so much now.

     

    Glad Wolverine is finally confirmed for this film, as is Magneto being Quicksilver's father in this universe. Hopefully they don't show too much in upcoming TV spots.

    Why not get regular seats?

    Local cinemas generally don't have any VIP seats. Personally I only care about having seats in the middle.

     

    Ah, my Odeon does (it's still like a 40 minute walk away, but about 10 or 15 minutes in a car). And yeah, I totally care about getting seats in the middle.

     

    But for some reason you can't book a seat unless it's VIP/Premier, and VIP>>>>>>>Premier and is what, 50p more? Odeon just blows my mind in their own little nonsensical ways.

    Supposed to be seeing this on Friday evening after a week of hardcore revision, BUT...

     

    My local Odeon STILL HAS NOT PUT UP ANY TIMES WITH VIP SEATED SCREENS (a standard we are sticking to after we fell in love with it at TFA, I mean the film probably helped but) F*** YOU ODEON

     

    I've emailed them twice and they said they'll let me know as soon as they're up, BUT, I have a feeling I should still check daily anyhow.

     

    Bleugh...

    That. Sounds. Awesome!

     

    you were right next to Aquaman!

     

    Never been to a convention before myself, but I'm debating as to whether or not I should go to Star Wars Celebration in London for a day in July.

    Jumping to conclusions a little, judging Capaldi on just one episode? How can you say the rest are better just on that?

    I think he's a bloody brilliant Doctor.

     

    And they addressed the regenerations thing in the episode where Matt Smith regenerated into him.

     

    (Haven't had the chance to watch the new companion clip yet)

     

    Well, slight understatement.

     

    I watched about seven episodes I think, and have watch bits here and there, he just really hasn't sold me on it.

    Wow, this show has gone down hill...

     

    Look, entertainment is subjective and all, BUT, David Tennant, Matt Smith and and Ecclestone were all better than Peter Capaldi is it? Don't quote me on that, not touched the series since the first episode with the newest incarnation of the Doctor.

     

    The 12th but really 13th Doctor. It's hard to wonder how they're going to retcon his whole "12 regenerations, 13 lives" thing.

     

    Unless that's already been sorted?

    New JasonBourne trailer out today.

     

     

    Very disappointed. There doesn't seem to be a story... Jason Bourne remembers more and wants vengeance. Good on you Jason, we got there in Ultimatum. Also as I said before, it doesn't seem to be filmed in that gritty Bourne way the trilogy was known for. This looks far more Hollywood in its presentation.

     

    Eh...I've got to agree. It just doesn't feel like a Bourne film. Yet.

     

    But this looks GREAT

    I think it depends what kind of learner you are. I do better with repetition so I tended to just write the same thing over and over again until it lodged in my brain. Mnemonics work well too.

     

    I use Anki for language learning as it lets you build flashcards. Sometimes the process of that (thinking of the question/area, finding a suitable related picture etc) helps lodge it in as well.

     

    What kind of subjects are you taking?

     

    Yeah...I'm not too sure what kind of learner I am yet. Currently, I'm completing packs for each subject where I've pooled all of the information together and will be doing 24 hours+ of past papers a week.

     

    And AS Mathematics, Philosophy and Accounting exams are the ones I've got coming up, as well as an internal Physics exam.

     

    trying to not go down the route of failure is really making me think about the possibility of failure
