Happenstance

Does the Wii U still have the hard lock problem where you had to pull out the power cable to get it working again?

Well I dont know about you but after I finished watching the trailer, men in black suits turned up and made me sign an NDA

We should start hearing more about it from tomorrow. It looks like thats when the journalists that saw it a couple of days ago are allowed to start talking about it.

I was planning on waiting until the games full release but people seem to be enjoying the beta so much already that I decided to get it now for more Terraria-esque fun.

Its certainly a service that gets better the further into a console's life it gets. As for the paying for online thing, obviously thats also something I would rather not have to do but that money is supposedly being funneled into Sony's online infrastructure itself. Not having to pay to play online on the PS3 was a major plus but it was pretty well known that Sony's online was not as good as Microsoft's for that reason. Now hopefully it will be. I dont know if its anything to do with that but we at least see the increased speeds when it comes to downloads on the PS4 already.

Apparently Hanwell Fields is being evacuated at the moment because of the threat of gas canisters going up.

Looks like it hasnt hit the retail park yet but is getting pretty close

It just seems like something that would work better for Nintendo than it would for others with their extensive back catalogue they would have a lot more to offer up and we would all be gushing over their service right now instead.

Bit more info from Bleeding Cool:

Just saw this and thought it was pretty good. I didnt absolutely hate his first movie but this was much better.

Grumble grumble.......still want SNES and GBA games on my 3DS grumble.

If Nintendo made the Virtual Console a subscription service I would totally sign up to a subscription for it.

Yeah thats not really a new thing

Yeah fair enough I guess. I didnt bother buying anything as I wanted to make sure I saved all my money for presents then i could just get any games I wanted during the Christmas sale.

I just thought it was too close to the Christmas sale and felt a bit pointless. Especially since the leaked email from a couple of weeks ago confirmed all sale prices would be the same between the Autumn and Christmas sales.

I got a bit bored of Batman 2 quite quickly so I cant say for sure but there seemed to be more sections in its Gotham that needed loading if you moved between them.

Just completed the story. I enjoyed it overall and will be carrying on with the game to keep unlocking stuff but I never really shook the feeling that "this is still just a Lego game". I want something of this scale in a proper Marvel game.

I think its great but its still just a LEGO game. Id much rather be playing a normal one.
