Just wondering why did you never get Resort? that had 18 holes Also I didnt see you online on my friends list.... though I think maybe I dont have you added Will add you after I finish this round with randoms... on 2nd of 3 holes... hopefully catch you for a game before your trail expires

I can see on my Friends List @lostmario is playing this.... BUT I have no way to let him know I'm online and up for a game either through the OS or game itself....thanks a frakking bunch Nintendo/Namco. I sent a PM here but he's not online at the mo so prolly won't see it till after he's finished. I sent him a PM on Miiverse just in case but sure even if he notices the blue light flashing he'll prolly just think it cause someone has turned on their WiiU....ggggrrrr Anyway, I just had a few more games. Started with a 3 player 3-Hole match, I won again 3 out of 3 Then tried looking for another 3-Hole game....couldn't find anyone So tried a 9-Hole game....no opponents there either Then tried a 1-Hole game, found 2 players. Bit nervous playing just the one hole, I'd prefer at least a 3 Hole cause if you mess up on the first you'll have a chance to pull it back in other two (or for other players to make mistakes)....and with that my first shot went out of bounds...great looks like my 100% record is gone. The other two took some pretty good first two shots (it was a par 5) so I was feeling like it was over, I then got up near the green, not on it with my 4th Shot (remember I had to tee off again on starting on shot 3) took my 5th shot and chipped onto the green with a wedge and got the angle and roll just perfect and it dropped right into the hole for Par, Woot. One of teh others went out of bounds with his 3rd shot and he didn't recover well so I think his next shot was 6 so I beat him but the other was on his 3rd, then his 4th got him on the green, he had to get a long put to tie the game and totally messed it up. After that seemed like he raged when he knew he couldn't win and just starting wacking teh ball like crazy too much power everytime till the game made him give up after 10 shots So yeah still got a 100% record on Golf, 4 out of 4.... gonna start getting paranoid every game now haha

DO WANT NOW PLEASE!!!!!! Still waiting on Toys R US UK to get in the Green/White Ranger Morpher and coins too....HURRY UP

How did I ever forget this little beauty of an Xmas Song

Is it called the PEPS? If yes then, no it is not a lethal weapon, it can knock back and knock out multiple guards.... though best at close range if trying to take out two or more as if one guard in in teh way of teh 2nd the 2nd will still get knocked down but won't get knocked out. It does make a bit of noise so best to use when there no other guards nearby....it is a fun weapon try to use it at least once.....mega slow on the reload though. The gas can be turned off if you find the valve for it.... think you need the wall punch?...Or there is an aug upgrade for Lungs that will negate gas effects

1: 2: @londragon has beaten you :wink:

Lol, why do that? You just want to be the lone person in your "Club"? That would be awesome if they did add them down the line...hopefully at no extra cost too Yeah I had a good laugh. I also think Red is pulling a bit of a hustle with his "I don't like Tennis, the motionplus keeps going wonkey I can't win"..... yeah then I see you have a 5Star (now 6Star after beating me) level That and you totally destroyed me on the first tennis game.... I put up a good fight in the 2nd but I don't think I had you under any pressure. Yeah I can understand no voice chat on Tennis, but Bowling and Golf really should make use of it, THERE'S A BLOODY MIC ON THE GAMEPAD for crying out loud!!!!! Anyway I just had a little session. Decided to have a go at just a 9 Hole game and on the new Lakeside course to try get a better feel of them....finished 4over par, not too bad for first time playing that as a 9 Hole game. Then gave the Classic 9 a go and finished 4 Under Par When the records thing came up after I noticed this The "BEST" score for the CLassic 9 is 1 under....but I just beat that...maybe it takes awhile (or next play) to update teh "Best" scores.....so yeah I'm currently the record holder for the CLassic 9....WOOOT

Ok, I'll try to stay on for it so I'll keep myself in chat room so go in there when you are coming on weird works for me, I'm usually ok between points so long as rallies don't go too long but I press the button at serves anyway just in case EDIT Just had the most epic game of Tennis with a random, We went back and forth between deuces and adv like 10 times or something, thought it was gonna go on forever. I won but.... WHY IS THERE NO REMATCH CHALLENGE OPTION DAMNIT!!! would have loved to have had another game with that guy I tried to search Miiverse for him by his name on Wii Sports but none of teh Mii's the search found were the same as the guy I played....

just do what I do on Tennis... I keep pressing down on d-pad between points (like before a serve is taken)... though I sill suck ... just tried a game of tennis lost 7-4...though I was 5-0 down so I almost made a good comeback Anyway, why not try give Golf a go online with me...just 3 holes come on... I'm going to go into the N-E Chat room and wait for you so we can chat a bit.... come on it'll be better when you know who you are playing

EDIT Just checked teh Club info for Golf... so far only 4 matches have happened with Irish players.... and only 2 wins.... MY WINS.... I'm carrying the Ireland Club!!!!! Like backspin? Yeah you could do it on Resort too.... you just stop your swing at its lowest point to add back spin with an Iron club.... on Resort I could control this nearly at will, here it seems to be tweeked a little and haven't quite figured it out in terms of how much spin I want to put on it like if I just want enough to spot the ball or actually want it to come flying backwards after landing.

When you say "over the holidays" when do you mean? Think you might use it this weekend? Let me know if you are playing and we'll try set up a match I'm using my free pass now but will be buying it tomorrow (hell might aswell do it this evening I guess) I'm home till Monday and going to my sisters then Xmas eve till the 27th, Wii U is coming with me but will likely be used for local play on Golf, Mario 3D World and Karaoke over the 3 days

Righty put in a good session on the Golf...LOVE IT... gonna buy it despite the Online Matchmaking issues (sorry @RedShell I is weak ) On my first play I jumped right into an online game. Before deciding who to search for you get 3 match options of what type of game to play. 1-Hole, 3-Holes or 9-Holes.... nice to have the choice... think I'll mostly play 3 Holes when playing with randoms. Anyway yeah I picked 3 holes and searched randoms.... slightly annoyingly it does the same as Golf and tries to find 4 players for the match, it found one right away and kept searching but they must have decreased the search time as it started a 2 player game in good time anyway, wasn't waiting too long. It randomly picks which set of 3 holes you play (it seems it has to be a group of 3 that are together in the game (eg: Classic 1-3 or 4-5 or 7-9) we ended up playing on Classic 7-9 They seem to have tweeked the controls a bit to my surprise. I wasn't able to get the same results from my muscle memory swings that I would get on Resort. Teeing off with the driver seemed very different (I had to later go offline to get a better feel for it), seems getting the powerbar to fill to the 3rd white dot is fine but if I wanted to get the "max blue" (which I normally do when teeing off with a driver) I wasn't able to get it with the same force swing as I did in Resort AND it always seemed to bend the bar when going past the 3rd dot even though I swear I'm not twisting my wrist. I worked out I needed a more forceful swing to get the power (but still can;t get a regular max blue like I could on Resort...yet) and some extra hip movement to stop the bar from bending...actually on Resort I never needed to twist my hips It also seems near impossible to hit an overpowered (Redbar) shot with anything other than the putter which is I guess both weird and prolly good? I tried messing about offline trying to force a tee shot red and only managed to get it to happen once. Anyway I struggled in that first game but I still won, I was over par (can't remember how much by...think +3) but I won by like 3 shots or something I then after dinner played the mini games, man I LOVE THOSE Those alone will be worth the purchase price The Putting one especially I can see myself spending hours on that trying to break my scores....seriously everyone get on that so I can see yer scores on the leaderboards The Bingo one is cool too, seems easy but after the first few shots gets harder trying to target specific sqaures (small tip: if you can get the ball to land right on the line between two sqaures you get the points from BOTH sqaures) And the the Driving Target Practice one, this is what I used to get practice on and a better feel for the driving The Gamepad use is pretty cool, I love how when teeing off you'll see your tee knocked out of the ground when you hit the ball. The powerbar appears on the Gamepad too, not too sure about this, it does encourage you more to look at the pad but I think I would prefer to have it on the TV again (which there was an option to move it back). I was a little confused at first as I didn't know it would be on the pad and when taking my first swing I was looking at the telly and went "Where the hell is the powerbar????" You also actually don't need to use the gamepad. The game works just the same if you put the Gamepad in it's stand/charge-stand, the ball and club and powerbar all still display even if the gamepad isn't on the ground... but it's still nice to have. I'll keep it on the ground for the immersion of the expereince and put it in its charger if it needs a charge or my son/other kids happen to be running around and I get nervous for the pads safety (and my sons of course) So after messing with teh mini games I tried a full on 18-Hole game solo in offline. It starts with the 9 new holes first and then the "Classic" courses in the back 9. My gods those new holes are tough, the first 3 seem easy but then they just get really harsh. Lakeside 5,6,6 and especially 9... I was 6 over par after those first 9 holes. Think I actually finished 6 over after all 18 had a few birdies but a few bogeys and double bogeys too. Oh slightly annoying is you get a replay after EVERY shot now, not a major thing but devalues teh replay for me. On Sports and Resort you'd only get a replay after you did a really good shot (usally a chip in or made a hard put or came very close to a chip in) and it felt like a little reward that you made a shot that was so good the game wanted you to see it again...now you get a replay after every shot and it's not as special anymore So after my 18-hole solo game I ventured online again (checked a friends search...nobody there...) so searched Everyone, ended up in a 3 player game playing Lakeside Holes 7-9. Twas close in teh first 2 holes, one guy wasn't doing so well but myself and the other tied in both the first 2 holes so came right down to the last. In the end he messed up on his putting and I won by 2 shots (with a beauty of a put too I must say) So yeah, it's got a different feel than Resort, the new courses are good but HARD!!!! haha though with continued play I'm sure they'll seem a little easier. Mini Games are brilliant fun. I'm def buying this one I set up a thread in the Online boards for this so if anyone is up for some gold this evening post there and let me know and we can se something up hopefully

Just got home and finished watching the ND (not read any spoilers before watching) WOOT for Golf hahaha I was right, week before Xmas, mwahahahaha Updating the game now (seems to be taking it's time, 5 mins left now though) had hoped it would have autodownloaded but meh, I'll be playing it soon anyway. Little disappointed they didn't include the Resort courses, was hoping for Sports, Resort and new courses, but I'll take 2 out of 3, new courses were more important to me anyway.

But they are still games released on the Wii U in 2013 Mario would prolly win anyway even if those two were included, so wouldnt change much

No Wind Waker HD or Monster Hunter.......

Normally I don't accept subsitutes when it comes to Fairytale of New York.... but this version translated into Irish I'll give a pass and add to my mp3 Xmas folder Don't know why they don't translate "Mountain Dew" or "Galway Bay" to Irish though... prolly to keep the rythm better I guess?

Really do you use an app for it? Or just the web browser? I remember trying to watch I think the MS E3 conference on my phone as I was out of the house and it wouldn't work....never tried a Nintendo Direct before

Would the Live Stream work on an Andriod smartphone?

Monkong?????

Ah just remembered I won't be at home for this.... wife got a hospital appointment tomorrow at the same time of 2pm

A: Maybe not but still be cool for them to go "oh by the way Golf is now available on Wii Sports Golf" out of nowhere B: Not for me, even with the poor online friend matchmaking I'll happily take Golf, it my most played Wii Sports game Damn it now you got me expecting it, between both the maintenance and the Direct...expectation leads to hype... and hype can lead to disapointment

*Trying not to get hyped.....*

Think her office was next to the Captains? I hacked most of them, I think there were some offices on the top floor (same floor as Wagners I think) that I didn't bother with as I couldn't find a way in other than the door which needed a hack and couldn't take out the patrolling guards cause he always stayed near an office with glass wall full of other cop I think it was. Though actually just remembered, that vent with laser grid you mentioned, the control panel for it I think was in one of the offices on the Captains floor If you go through it you can follow it up and listen in on an interogation.... you have the option to enter the room it is happening in but if you're playing for stealth I wouldn't reccomend it When I listened to the Directors Commentary on my 2nd play they said that it was meant to be the start of another side quest that they had to cut out. But they left that scene in as it gave the station more "life". As for hacking office computers, I just made sure any patrolling guards weren't nearby when I hacked the comps. An alarm won't go off unless your hack gets traced or use up all your attempts (you do know you can cancel a hack if the trace is getting too close and the trace will also stop but you of course lose an "attempt". I did take some hacks right to the wire capturing the final node with less that half a second on the clock a few times on my first play... good rush that was, haha) Haha, yeah I was the same, even though I had an idea of who I was looking for would look like I had no idea where the street was. My first thought was to check the map but street names aren't marked .... then saw a sign post and though *facepalm* You actually don't come across him during the course of the game, you have to look for him. I actually never found him on my first play at all Did on my 2nd. He's in an apartment building near the one that couple lives in. I think when you are doing part of the side quest for the undercover cop (Is it Jenny her name I think?) one of teh objectives is to find and knockout a gang guy called Double-T I think Seurat is in the same building on a lower floor.... I think. EDIT Oh yeah I finished my 3rd play last night Got the award for beating Namir without using an weapons....was trickier than I thought, once I figured out how it was easy....an funny

Yeah, that is a nice big one and one of my favs. What I really loved is when I first went to the police station I was in her office and hacked her computer and found some emails that mentioned her "undercover work" not knowing it tied in with a side quest. When I got the call from Pritchard I remembered the name and knew exactly what to look for on where to find her

Yeah I got the same on my first and 3rd plays, (2nd play I entered via sewers and you don't get to talk to Haas if you've already been to teh morgue) think the pointing out of the drugs only happens when you use the Social Aug... I tried to do it without the Aug on my 3rd play but he wouldn't let me in so I just reloaded and used the aug Lol, I did the same on my first play. On my 2nd and 3rd I opted to "help" him with the dealers...results are still the same. I did always choose the "scolding" option or whatever it was to give out to the other guy when I gave him back the recording though. Can't remember what floor, but I think it is 2nd? After walking into the station you go up the stairs to the next floor, there's like a little seating area for like lunch breaks I guess, you can also look down on the floor below. Can't remember if there was a camera tho, but I do remember there was a vent that leads inside the office. I tried to hack the door first time but a nearby cop saw me, so reloaded and used the vent (with a box covering me from teh cops view). When you get a side quest do you get a blue "X" marker on your map for the objectives? If you do and you got to them all then you must have been in there. You get much more player yesterday? Where abouts are you know.... there should have been at least one more "big" side quest to find before moving to the next area, prolly my fav in the game Anyway I had a good session last night and finished the "DLC" section and got my Factory Zero award
