Message viewing/sending stability and speed is all I hope for. It's been dire recently. Well, that and YouTube, but we know that's coming.

As opposed to releasing the game on Wii U? It could be a quarter of the cost yet have 10+ times the audience. Statistics obviously made up, but there's serious potential there, and you can't really look at all apps ever released to make the statement you just did given that this is an app that would be made by a very credible company (unlike most apps). And importantly, it's an already well established franchise (Mario and co.).

I was thinking about this recently and how easily this would port to iPad/Android (assuming it played like the original levels). When we were all talking about how Nintendo could get 'alternative' sorts of games that essentially don't compete with their typical console games, this would work pretty well (especially since it's pretty simple to control). This also feels quite mini game-esque (since it pretty much was one) and I think doesn't feel like it should be its own big game; it might do better as an app in terms of appeal.

Come on raid boots.

Pre-oredered for £22.50 from Tesco. One of the best game covers I've seen in a while, actually.

Yeah should be, sounds good!

I found out you can only get the helmet from Atheon, same as the mythoclast. Given that's the case, I'd probably be more up for finding a party that was just on that bit lol.

Me and Daft so far are up to the final boss room (well, the stage right before the boss in the same room). None of us have got the helmet so far, unfortunately. It is basically doable up to after the Templar boss so far, assuming you knock the Templar off with grenades and rockets that is.

Yeah sounds good to me. We should have enough people for at least 3 hours, hopefully the guy on my friends list turns up. Might have said half 1 to him though. Just to note Daft, you're appearing black (NAT issues?).

He is also a hunter. Also I checked DestinyTracker and there's like a live chat for getting hold of players if you need backup.

Just heard from L29 guy on my friends list and he said he's up for it. Me, Daft, Lost, Shorty, Dan Dare and SectionedCottie (his username). Assuming Dan turns up. So everyone apart from lost, let's start at 12:45. Then lost will join us as soon as he can.

I think we would probably be best to find a replacement for him as we don't know how long they will take given it's most of their first time and the last boss can be pretty annoying on your first go. I guess also we all knew hard raid was going to be Sunday but they've moved their normal raid to Sunday. Fair play to them if they want to do it first time but I think we need to try and guarantee we have enough players who can all stick around for long enough. I know a L29 who very well might want to play....will have to check with him when he's on. I think we should start 'unofficially' at 12:45PM then when lost joins us half an hour or so later we'll hopefully have cleared the entrance. Then hopefully Shorty will be around long enough to finish it!

Yeah I agree, we should start bit earlier. @Blade will this raid clash with your other planned raid?

Thanks again @lostmario and @Shorty. Got the awesome Patience and Time exotic arc sniper rifle...makes me invisible while aiming and can also see the radar. Niiiice.

Just a reminder to @Shorty and @lostmario - 20:30 tonight for Nightfall.

Ahh man, how could we talk about the biology of consciousness and mathematics without voice chat? :p

Yeah, when I last used it I didn't really like it. Takes all the avatars out of posts and lacked some features. Taptalk is still by far a more user friendly experience.

I've said it before; if people can't bear negative discussion then they should put people on their ignore list. Discussion is discussion, and if people want to vent their frustrations then let them. Asking people not to post negative stuff is, ironically, a waste of time in itself. It has been done before and it won't work. So if I load up Skype and Smash runs as smoothly online as it does normally without Skype running, will you admit you're wrong?

Hey man are you also good for 1:30PM Sunday for hard raid?

I find using forums on a phone browser to be pretty awkward (Nexus 4 here). Clicking small links like the arrow icon to go to the last post often brings up a magnified balloon since it's never sure if you wanted to click it on account of your thumb being quite large relative to the button. Noticed that prob with clicking quite a lot of things, actually. It's just generally so much easier to click the massive boxes in Tapatalk. Plus, timeline kicks ass.

Fuuuuck. I can't be sure, but did the penny just drop with you? Did you just make a distinction between technical prowess and how appearances might also contribute to a 'style'? I am proud. To relate this to the original point: FPS can be an artistic choice. Well, maybe artistic isn't the right word, but at least a 'presentation' choice. The choice between 30 FPS for that weighty, cinematic feel compared to 60 FPS, which may not offer such huge gameplay advantages for that type of game to be the go to choice. But how can the game developers read your mind to know what these supposed standards are? Curious.

I never actually said that as a blanket statement; rather that 30 FPS can suit some games better than 60 FPS, especially those gunning for a more cinematic feel. And I wasn't alone in making this statement in the topic, let's not forget. You view the world so hilariously black and white, in the belief that technical prowess always trumps anything else. Let me guess, do you also think Minecraft should be made with realistic graphics? Because fuck the style, amirite?

Serebii: It won't work; it's counter to mathematical logic (which I obviously understand, hurhur). Sheikah: What mathemtical logic? Proof plx? Serebii: I can't deal with this!! You guys are ignoring mathematical logic!!1

Sorry, my point was that there were no good Smash Brawl online games; it was broken by a delay regardless of your connection. Voice chat wasn't going to make it worse. However, by virtue of All Stars actually having games run smoothly with voice chat on, it is proof of concept that it can work. You don't need to prove that it works 100% of time; the fact it can work shows that there is potential for it as an optional feature for people with good enough connections. Generally with evidence you assume that something has no relation to something else unless someone can prove a connection. Serebii has claimed that voice chat would not be feasible as that would break the camel's back for online play. He needs to prove it; it's that simple. Sorry, can't believe I missed this. Of course you fucking should! Not for any reasons pertaining to what is being said, but purely because they are words concerning online play, and coming from Nintendo.

Even worse for me, as Tapatalk doesn't work with spoiler tags. :p
