Ehm...no. :p I actually have 8 notification sitting at the top right now. I blame Tapatalk. :p

The funny thing is, it would be so easy to do it with Pokemon. The structure of each game is so similar in many aspects that it practically writes itself. Pick one of 3 of the same types of Pokemon, talk to Professor named after a tree, go and get the gym badges, thwart evil organisation, defeat elite four, catch legendary.

And yet during this not-at-all-game-oriented life of yours you always seem to have the time to tell people what game-related things they should and shouldn't be talking about. Funny, that.

Ah, never mind then. Still, good deal for whoever hasn't got it yet.

@Fierce_LiNk did you pick up AC4 yet? I only ask because it's being sold for £20 preowned on Grainger Games's website. Such a steal.

New Wii U Pro Controllers are £29 and in stock at Tesco Direct. You've got to use the code TDX-PFW6 to get £5 off.

You always say this, but you should definitely care how Nintendo are doing from a business perspective. The belief that it doesn't affect you as you're not a shareholder is incredibly naive. Nintendo's poor fortunes this generation has as a result led to a colossal drop in third party support, meaning you're getting far less good games on the system. Also, when people aren't happy that their demands for online features aren't being met then they're going to complain, that's just the way people are. It's no different to how when good games comes out you can praise each one - so to, you can criticise.

The way we check for problems is to take biopsy punches. Are you saying you want me to take a piece out of your balls?

Is that the key to your dungeon? You know. Where sexual stuff happens.

Phase 2: Jonnas asks Smeagol if his power works in a certain way in order to verify his question or to eliminate other possibilities (Smeagol alredy said he thought EEVIL was town). Could reveal a cop. Phase 3: Jonnas votes for Jimbob, which is fair enough, as he's inactive. He then asks Jimbob what his power is and we all know Jimbob is likely to comply with such requests. Jimbob puts out his info, Jonnas does not remove vote. Jimbob is then murdered the following night. I will assume he was town or neutral and murdered based on the information he gave, which as we know, was put out because of Jonnas. Phase 4: I use up my daily question to ask him a question he has asked of others and he doesn't give out. Seems inquisitive of others but reluctant to divulge own information.

I've slapped an order down on Amazon because I want to play the beta. May cancel later (not because I really want to, but I'll be really busy for that whole month). Looks amazing though, to hell with people saying "lots of new IP can fail" as a reason to advise against doing it. Not if you gather the talent and do it right.

I remember being outfoxed by the computer when I tried to save and reload on a coin toss moment. It was auto-programmed to fail in the event of you trying to do that.

I just bought Wolfenstein for under £25, I'll give it a whirl some point after I finish Pikmin 3. And Pikmin 1 and 2. :p

Get a job My PhD comes to an end soon, so I've been applying for jobs as a medical writer. I've performed a couple of writing tests for companies in both London and Cambridge (the one I want to work for is in Cambridge) and have met with the Cambridge folk at an open evening, and it looks like a really cool place to work. Hopefully I'll get an interview when I hear back from them next week, if the test outcome was good. Get a PhD At the end of this year, hopefully I'll have it, heh. I'll be the kind of 'doctor' that can help if you're suffering from a chronic sort of ailment, but other than that don't come to me. :p

Vote: Jonnas

@Jonnas tread lightly: What is your power?

I meant that nobody at school knew/cared how to actually play it properly, only really bothering with collecting them. Once the game came along I took a slight interest in playing it.

Ahh, the game that gave me a vague clue about how to actually play this game. Also this:

^ (£8.xx new, Amazon) ^ (£24 off eBay, preowned. Why is this one so much more expensive??) ...Pikmin 3 made me.

GTAV was actually pretty good in terms of the humour and sheer over the top behaviour of characters. Made me appreciate the world more.

Nice try. The reason the Wii U didn't appeal much to many other console owners in the first year is not because the games didn't appeal to the 360/PS3 gamers. It's because a lot of those games were the SAME ones people had already played many months before on their other consoles! Mass Effect 3, Deus Ex, Assassin's Creed 3, Batman, Darksiders II, FIFA. Then you have games like COD which people would probably rather play with their existing friends. Tell me Jonnas, do you see the appeal there to someone who has played these games already? Right from the start, this pretty much only ever offered first party content to people like me as their third party stuff may as well not have existed. So for me, I bit when there was enough Nintendo content, which took a while to get somewhere I felt.

No, people get butthurt because they don't like it when people point out the flaws in their argument or an argument they support. People agreeing with the flawed argument deflect the points using poor ad hominem like you just did rather than actually addressing the post. Poor show, King V, but not really at all unexpected from you. The argument that Zelda should keep absorbing every mechanic of its predecessors isn't great, so I agree with Ronnie there. It would mean the games would become convoluted while not actually changing the mechanics of the game. Given most Zelda games have changed the mode of travel, it's not even possible to incorporate them all. That's all well and great, but then Ronnie makes the excruciatingly out of touch comments about GTA. Neither side argues the point well. Rather than knock down a bad argument, I proposed what I did want to see changed in Zelda, all of which I think are fully achievable without making the game convoluted. All the while saying that difference certainly helped Majora's Mask, and importantly, that I think the new Zelda looks like it could be taking the right steps. Yet of course, meaningful discussion is ignored. I think as well Majora's Mask reviewed lower at the time and had a reputation for being difficult with the time system. It's funny what people think at the time compared to how they do now. Same with Wind Waker... thought of as odd at the time and widely revered later.

I just did, you silly sod. Some people...
