  1. I'm also happy to chip in where needed in terms of organizing the event, or helping out with something on the day / night. I've put a request in at work for the Fri and Sat off and can't see why I'd be made to work it.
  2. @Ike I was on the other side of the road Thanks though, I'll check it out next time I'm home!
  3. I was in back home in York last weekend and I looked EVERYWHERE for this shop and couldn't find it. I was stood outside it according to Google Maps but it was just an empty retail unit with workmen redecorating the interior. Is it actually on Gillygate or has it moved?
  4. I live about 6 miles from Bury and provided I'm not working (I'll try and book it off) I can potentially make it to the marathon and take part
  5. This is related to the Wii as opposed to the Wii U, but anyway, my new monitor obviously doesn't have a component input and I want to hook my original Wii up to it. Has anyone had any experience using one of these before: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Camac-Converter-Output-Upscaler-Adapter/dp/B007PY3ZPG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474479057&sr=8-1&keywords=camac+wii+to+hdmi Obviously there are loads of good reviews on there, but I'd rather get the opinion from someone in our respected community before biting the bullet, if any of you have used one
  6. I'm out this week. Waiting on BT to connect my Internet. Probably not going to make it next week either, considering the dates I've been offered for an install :/
  7. How are you working out the results Pestneb? Is there some kind of formula or simply the scores from Ranked and Turf Wars from SplatNet? What's the weighting etc.? I had a horrible night last night. Played 9 games and lost 8. Absolutely shocking and a number of disconnects...
  8. GP2 though! So close, and right to the end of rainbow road. Didn't have a great time in GP3 but it was an awesome night! Cheers guys. Edit: About GP3. Bloody Baby Park... For six laps I led by miles. Blue shell, red shell, red shell, pirahna, some t*** with a star. Last place. I both love and hate Mario Kart 8 in equal amounts, and you guys, obviously.
  9. I can play tonight, 8pm UK time, right?
  10. A small part of me has just died inside. We are truly witnessing the end times
  11. I also switched off halfway through, if I wanted to hear this much nonsense I'd go to the NX thread
  12. I just put the game disc in for the first time since May and I am absolutely terrified to play Ranked Battle because I know I'll lose my A- ranking almost immediately. What has happened in this game? Almost everyone is level 50 and the population of Japanese playings has grown even MORE, it's ridiculous! I am getting absolutely slaughtered Still, 1000 points for a victory is nice, when did that happen? Gonna keep playing and hopefully get my game back before taking on Ranked Battle.
  13. Been following you on instagram from the beginning and I just have to say massive respect to you Retro. I've loved following your journey through your fantastic photos, really made me want to explore the UK more, though maybe not exclusively on foot A huge well done, and I hope you achieved all your goals, you're doing it for a very worthy cause.
  14. There isn't much by way of real spoilers. It's mostly speculation. The level of detail into the game mechanics and world is fantastic, though and it really goes in depth in showing off most of what we've already seen. If you want to get hyped, watch it!
  15. I actually think I've managed to get a place through rightmove (was with an agency), sent off the fees for the credit checks today and offered to pay 6-months up front. I kind of had to. I've only ever had bad experiences with private landlords through gumtree, unfortunately. I had two places in Leeds when I was a student which were awful. Both times I didn't get my full deposit back despite leaving everything in excellent condition... I had an agency tenancy when I moved back to York after uni, and despite being expensive (fees etc), it was much smoother than dealing with the landlord directly, especially when our boiler broke mid-winter and they paid for us to stay in a hotel for a couple of nights. It was -20 outside to be fair. I really hope eveything goes through with this flat, it's a beautiful mill conversion just outside of Bolton and it was much bigger and more luxurious than anything for the same price in Manchester itself.
  16. Can't make it tonight, unfortunately. Nintendo let me down :/
  17. House renting is the worst. No agency is prepared to give me a tenancy because I haven't found a job yet and I haven't lived in the UK for 4 years and thus have no recent tenancy history. My girlfriend is starting uni in 2 weeks in Manchester and I have to pay either 6 months or a year up front just to be accepted. The UK and all this regulation sucks. Why can't the UK be more like Canada, where the tenant is king and the law is much more in their favour as opposed to the landlord / agent?
  18. Thanks to The Mole for running the league, and also to DCubed and Redshell for the excellent highlights videos, they have been a pure joy to watch! This week I am in* *Providing Nintendo delivers my AC adapter on time. If not, then I won't be able to play. I'll confirm 100% on Thursday evening an hour or so before the start.
  19. Couldn't agree more, RFN is miles ahead of anything Nintendo related. I've been listening for 2 years now and love every show. The only person I'm not keen on is occasional guest Serene (sp?) McNulty, her voice really irritates me and she tends to talk too much. I still listen to NVC every week but only really enjoy it when Peer and Brian are both on the show, Jose is a bit "meh", but I do enjoy hearing what he has to say, the regular Pokemon talk bores me to tears... I absolutely LOVE the Famicast as well, it's by far my favourite podcast, but to call it a "Nintendo" podcast would be pushing it. Ty and Danny almost NEVER have Nintendo games in new business, only really James talks exclusively about Nintendo. The banter and discussion is always top notch though, the insight into life Japan and the rapport between the presenters is unmatched in my opinion. Love it when they do quizzes and fake or real or when James rips on everyone in an OTT British way. From an entertainment perspective, it's the best out there, but those looking for Nintendo news would probably not get much out of it
  20. I remember reading on GAF that it would likely be a 540p screen. This was due to the fact as it would be much easier to upscale to 1080p on the TV screen. Personally, on a say six-inch screen, I really don't think we'd see much difference between 720p and 540p, and if 540p would mean better battery life, cheaper / easier development then I think it would be much more sensible that going for 720p.
  21. I've had a listen to a few episodes of this and do enjoy it, though I agree with H-o-T a lot of the Rare stuff was complete nonsense. A good podcast, but I'm not too keen on the lead guy. Enjoyed the episode with the guy who made Mutant Mudds, and it's always fun hearing what people would do if they were in charge of Nintendo.
  22. Gave them a call yesterday after having no luck in town. Managed to get the Wii U charger and the gamepad one for £40. Bit pricey but there was no other option. Cheers mate.
