    What settings are you using?

    I've got mine set to the lowest brightness, power saving mode on, rumble off, also have the volume off 95% of the time too, but I'm still finding myself charging the GamePad a lot. :hmm:

    In fact, I pretty much just leave the thing permanently plugged into the mains now. :heh:

     

    I wish there was an option to disable the screen in games that don't really utilise it much/well. Like Tekken for example, I never use the special move shortcuts that are on the touch screen during gameplay, so I'd rather the GamePad screen was off. :blank:

     

    Rumble off, power saver off, brightness full and volume mediumish id say. I like having the screen bright so it looks 'nicer'.

    Blimey that's a cracking price!

     

    @Mike1988uk came round to mine this evening for a bit and he brought his 3DS. His is an original and I recently got an XL.

     

    I had a little :cry: at how beautiful the original 3DS is!

    Like seriously. It really is a lovely little console and almost made me regret the decision of going for an XL for Christmas!

     

    I do like the big screen on the XL but the original model has a much whiter, and crisper screen. I played a little bit of Mario Kart and found the screen to be a little cramped but everything did have an added level of crispness that the XL is missing (for obvious reasons!)

     

    I still love my XL but it was really nice to have the consoles side by side and see exactly how they compare. I was surprised how much I liked the original! :grin:

     

    I thought you weren't going to give it me back at one point! ;)

    I only recently noticed how many ppl are getting these!

     

    My sister has one, my girlfriend got one for xmas as did pretty much everyone else in my family!

     

    I had been seeing facebook statuses from other ppl talking about onesies while watching a film at home etc but I didn't really realise what they were...

    Right im wondering if any one can help me. As you all probably know diet is a key thing for building lean muscle. Does anyone know of any receipes for protein rich dishes apart from plain old chicken and brown rice? Im wanting to cook something different. Also what do people tend to eat at work? Do you prepare your meals before you go?

     

    Tuna is another good option for protein. Off the top of my head I think a tin of tuna has about 25G of protein in it and pretty much no carbs or fat. Also good for a quick meal as it is ready to eat straight out of the tin!

     

    Only downside is if you don't like fish and like most good sources of protein. It isn't cheap!

    Sure, I'd love to see them. :)

     

    Cool. I will message u on fb when I put them up.

     

    They wouldn't let u take pictures during the interactive bit at the start but u could in the museum bit after woods!

     

    I didn't take pictures of everything and to be honest there is a couple of things I wish I did now! For example there was a display cabinet with different sonic screwdrivers over the years but I only took a picture of the latest one. Something to look forward too if I go there again and it seems like they keep updating it! :-)

     

    Oh also they had the clothes worn by oswin In both eps... The red one in particular, well there really isn't much to it! :p lol

    Had a great time!

     

    Got some 'good' photos, like me pretending to put a key in the TARDIS door & putting my head in the sucker on a dalek! :p

     

    The interactive bit was quite good, would have absolutely loved doing something like that as a kid!

     

    They had props there from season 7 (so far) and even had the snowmen and the big snow globe (with the snow moving around inside) there from the xmas special! As well as loads of other stuff from previous series and some old pre 'new' Who stuff as well.

    Just finished reading a book called 'Where no-one has gone before' which covers the original series, TNG, DS9 and the very start of Voyager and all about the trouble with getting it going etc.

     

    A good interesting read into the thought processes and how stand out it sounded in the 60's. What with multicultural crew and being the first TV program to ever show a interracial kiss etc. Stuff which I never took any notice off as I just seen it as a crew but how big it was then.

     

    Another thing I can't believe is that I didn't notice that the 3 old klingons who appeared in DS9 to meet up with Dex to avenge a death where the three same klingons who kirk had 'issues' with in the original series till I read it in the book.

    What if.....they're the same thing.

     

    Indeed!

     

    Although I did a google search the other day and it said that GI has appeared twice before in the old series and timeline wise this happened before them as one of the episodes GI attacks the London Underground and in this ep the doctor showed it a map...

    Such a great episode yesterday! As others have said they got so much of it right. Good humour, love the intro (I haven't even watched the old who's) but I recognised its retro connections visually and through audio through watching old title runs on YouTube in the past. I like the new interior to the TARDIS. Would have loved watching that ep as a kid as it seemed like it would have been really scary, oh and I'm very interested in this mystery story arc regarding the companion and GI.

    This certainly is the case when trying to get the blink due to the buggy/glitchy nature of the Lego games. I had to go through one of the Harry Potter ones twice purely because one of collectables glitched on me.

     

    On LOTR a Mithril Brick glitched on me leaving me at 99% completion rate and locking me out of several achievements. It is a wide spread problem and luckily they released some codes that you put in the Extras menu which netted you the blink. They are working on a patch for this issue as well though.

     

    Cool, I had to replay most of lego indi 2 a few years ago because of a glitch. I think it was in one of the hub worlds a flame or something similar disappeared

    , I think when we were playing through we grabbed it and threw it messing around but it never came back like it's supposed to, making it impossible for me to get one of the collectables later on!

    I finished Lego Lord of The Rings last week and enjoyed it so much that I decided to pick Lego Pirates of the Caribbean. Man, I love the Lego games. They are so much fun to play and are the perfect games to just kick back and chill out to. :grin:

     

    Indeed!

     

    I have got Lego lord of the rings & lego batman 2 to get and play through with my gf sometime, although our next 'together' game is New Super Mario Bros U.

     

    Once we have played it through it I then go solo for all collectables etc - sometimes that can get a bit frustrating but overall yeah, they are nice simple enjoyable games.

    Nicolas Cage is in it?

     

    He gets in everything now a days doesn't he? Ha.

     

    Was on the Radio again (2fm in Ireland) today :D

     

    They asked people to text in what their fav Xmas film was, I texted in Muppets Christmas Carole (of course) and they called me back asking if I'd go on air to talk with teh DJ, (Colm Hayes)

     

    They just upped the podcast of the show, you can have a listen HERE

     

    My bit starts at 3mins : peace:

     

    What was it that he has given you? I couldn't quite make it out.

     

    My christmas film is Jingle All the Way! Love that film, watched it again the other day

    I would recommend the black one (premium), just because I prefer the black coloured console and it has a bigger memory so is a bit more future proof before you would have to go out and buy more memory.

     

    White one (basic) has 8GB whereas black has 32GB. Premium also comes with a sensor bar and some extra stands.

     

    But it is really just down to your preference.
