Yeah I'm game for it.

I remember when I was in year 11 at school and saw a lad (bless him he looked like the atypical nerd) in year 7 or 8 I guessed, being bullied by a group of lads. Verbally at first but then they set upon him, pushed him over and started kicking him. I ran over, picked up and threw a couple of them a good distance and the other two stopped, I picked the lad up who was getting kicked and shouted at the bullies "you fucking touch my cousin again I'll rip your heads off!". The kid wasn't my cousin, just felt he could do with them off his back. The other lads ran off and the kid thanked me, I said no probelm and carried on playing football with my mates. Bullies just need showing up.

Being half Iranian (even if I don't look it) I used to get into fights when I was younger through racism. I say get into fights as opposed to get bullied because I don't feel I was bullied, I didn't feel a victim of bullying. When I was young my Dad told me and my brother what we'd probably go through and have to face and so he prepped us for it, taught us how to fight and took us to martial arts (I remember going to Judo first on my 7th birthday). He'd always told us to always talk your way out of a fight first but just in case, we knew how to fight. However, he did say that if people try to bully that we should beat them up and beat them up good, that'd put a stop to them... lo and behold it did. It started in primary school. My brother is 2 years older and after he left a few lads in the year above me tried their hand at bullying me. I remember a lad starting with the racism and then he and his friend started acting tough and pushing me. I did my best to talk my way out if it but this didn't deter them and so we fought. After giving them a good thrashing (one was completely KO'd and went to hospital) I was taken to the headmaster's office and my Dad was called into school. I love when my Dad tells this story, always puts a smile on my face as the teachers really wanted me in trouble for what I'd done. So my Dad is sat in the headmaster's office and at first just listens to everything he has to say. My Dad then asks why the fight started and the headmaster tells him. So my Dad's response was this; "I'm sorry Mr Bennett, then you'll have to blame me and not fault my son. I have told him to do this if anyone tries bullying him. He could tell the teachers but what would you do? You could maybe put a stop to it inside of school, but what happens after? What happens at weekends? They'd carry on, even worse than before because there'd be no teachers to tell them off, but what I can guarantee you now is that these two lads will never try bullying my son again and maybe others too." The headmaster asked my Dad if he'd tell me to beat then up outside of school and my dad said he'd not, that if it was dealt with there and then it would nip it in the bud and not have to carry on through the day until after school. The headmaster had nothing else to say. The attempts at bullying stopped and so he had no complaints thereafter. In secondary school it took one early fight in year 7 to stop it for a good few years, until my brother left the school again and the year above turned their attention to me... that again was quickly stopped. In year 7 the supposed hardest lad in the year tried his hand at being racist with me. A dislocated jaw later and nobody said anything derogatory for a good while. Again after my brother left the supposed hardest lad in the year above gave it a shot, again I beat him down and nothing carried on. So in school it wasn't really bad. It was outside of school where it used to kick off often, with the lads in the area that I grew up in. That was because of the numbers of them, plenty would try their hand but would get beaten up. My brother and I used to fight a hell of a lot growing up, but once all were beaten they stopped. Bullies just need a good hiding, it soon puts an end to it.

I'm free whenever. @lostmario, I'm happy doing it more than once so if you need anyone to do stuff with give me a shout too!

I know what's happened here. @Agent Gibbs looked at the damage he was causing to Atheon after gaining Weapons of Light from @Map's bubble-shield. You were looking at the damage you were causing after gaining no buff because @Blade had no idea what Weapons of Light was and just "smiled and nodded" (as he put it) when we told him to equip it on his shield. Classic Blade!

Fingers crossed for the Raid Gauntlets this week, that'll take me to 30 once levelled.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom's credits are great too!

Any chance you've found those numbers? Because I'm having doubts they exist.

Streaming anime on my phone probably didn't help with the speed but still, 1 hour 45 minutes to get that downloaded there. What a ball-ache!

I know, but it's Nintendo and online so I'm not trusting, I'll wait to hear what it's like.

...and it's taking a fucking age to download! This is worse than WiiU levels of slowness, haha.

The voice chat situation had put me off, it's no longer a day one purchase. If the online experience is smooth then I'll get it. If it's even half as bad as Brawl was I'll not bother.

Yep, these are the best credits ever for me!

I've only cleared act 1 on this but I've had more fun on it than I had in the entirety of the campaign on The Last of Us. It's also much better than Sonic Lost World, which I'm fairly sure isn't a computer game DVD but just a thin round slice of turd that you insert into your machine. Awful game, god awful!

@Zechs Merquise don't forget, Hex at Alton Towers did the same to him. #beta-male :p

I got a nice haul from Atheon just then... Chatterwhite (which I already have, but still), Atheon's Epilogue and Thunderlord! Cheers guys, looking forward to the Raid again next week!

Mate, I'm happy doing them again if I've done them before. It doesn't matter if I've already done it, I'm gaming for the laugh of gaming with all you guys.

Give me and Blade a shout, we'll do them with you!

@Sexual Chocolate @Choze..? Any one else too if you fancy it? @lostmario if you fancy getting it off your brother and joining? :p

Sorry @MilaGi it wouldn't let me back on. Called it a night there... hope you got the bounty done.

@Serebii you're such an excuse machine, it's great!

They could update the WiiU to include it i believe. The XBO did, didn't it? Man, I'd play on my WiiU a HELL of a lot more if they did!

That'll be my 3rd Exotic Handcannon, alongside Thorn and Hawkmoon. Oh man, The Last Word can be fired by holding down the trigger and the character repeatedly hits the hammer on the gun to fire rapidly from the hip, classic Western style!

Chest piece and Greaves again for me tonight in the Raid. Where are those damn Gauntlets!!! Haha We flew through though guys I must say. It's a shame we didn't have time to take on Atheon though with some having to leave.

@Blade @Eddage @MilaGi @Map @Agent Gibbs all stil up for the Raid at 21:00 tonight (if the servers are up by then)?
