I call bullshit on @Serebii... I simply don't believe what you say, you're telling me you're the only person that doesn't see all this and everything works perfectly for you? Bollocks. I think your head is so far in the sand that you just choose to ignore it all and pretend it all doesn't happen. Sorry, but I just cannot believe.

Fuck me it's finally shown up! Seriously, over a fucking hour of leaving the room and going back in! Urgh!!!

So what exactly do I need for this swift sail? I've finished the Dragon Roost Temple, got the pearl, back at Windfall at night going into the auction but all that is ever available are joy pendants... am I missing something? I've spent an hour going in and out of auctions now trying to come across it.

Almost all negativity, feels a little soulless without voice-chat.

Surely the NFC game should be a Pokemon game?! That'd sell best would it not, the game and the figurines..?

They're not, but don't act like they aren't streets ahead of the WiiU.

Serebii, have you EVER gamed online on any other consoles, including the Wii? Disconnecting after only 1 hours gameplay is shocking! Absolutely shit standards!

Mushrooms and stars do fuck all in this. That I can't chat is too much for me, the game is average at best I find. Poor tracks, feels slow, courses are too wide, poor item balancing, awful online experience... worst Mario Kart yet.

I don't rate the tracks all that much, I prefer all the prior Mario Karts to this one I think. Yet to take it online as it sounds tripe.

It's already dead before it's replacement is ready!

Bitter much? Haha As much as I'm annoyed with the online/voice-chat debacle, I am looking forward to grouping up and gaming a bit on this.

Sony Defense Force had to get in to defend the PS4... instead of just pointing out he could pick them up on PS3 (or the 360, but let's not name that because it's not a Sony machine). You know I'm just messing right?!

I want Nintendo to be up to par with online; voice-chat, game options, invites, proper lobbies etc. not this half-arsed backwards attempt that they're just about managing at the moment. I also want them to have proper accounts and purchases attached to the accounts and not to the console specifically. The only good I see in Nintendo at the moment is in the core gameplay in their games.

As said above, I've always picked Luigi. That he has the Death Stare makes it all the more certain I'll keep using him!

I so wish this had a proper Battle Mode, akin to the SNES and N64 MK's... I've just had a quick GP and can't be arsed carrying on. I definitely won't be joining the MK League. I'll still play it but not as much as most people do.

I have to thank @Blade profusely as I have received a copy of MK8 in the post today courtesy of him! Thanks man, love ya!

My WiiU is never on standby, it always gets turned off at the plug... I always turn off my stuff at the plug. This won't change considering I don't have my WiiU connected to the internet at all times. I use a wired connection but the wire isn't actually plugged in until I look to put the WiiU on.

Frank Lampard has confirmed he's leaving Chelsea after having been there 13 years. What a Legend he's been for the Club, it'll be sad seeing him ply his trade elsewhere. 648 Games 211 Goals 3 Premier Leagues 4 FA Cups 2 League Cups 1 Champions League 1 Europa League

I've been recommended the Dark Tower series, but this had put me off a little... although reading the comments on volume 2 I think I'll still give it a go. I know he's written many more books that are set in the same universe as the Riftwar Saga but I don't know if there's going to be a 4th book extending the saga itself. One of my workmates has read all Feist's books so he'd know but he's not in for me to ask.

To be honest the champagne came out later that night! Haha

Pretty much the only reasonable picture of us from the weekend @Blade... we're far too much a mess on the others, haha! I don't smoke so I'd not normally be a twat with a cigar but it was a celebration so needs must! Also, it's not urine in the glass, it's Jim Bean Honey, haha.

Sorry @lostmario I'm not one for the league... I'll see if I can join in every now and again though.

Recently read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, thought it was a beautifully written book, an absolute joy to read. Also read Magician, Silverthorn and I am almost through A Darkness in Sethanon, all of the Riftwar Saga by Raymond Feist... enjoying these immensely too.

I guess it's just not for me then. I've seen plenty of videos of the top Smash players on Melee and it just didn't interest me in the slightest. I'd rather read a well written and explanatory hands-on and a few vids of average gamers playing it in all honesty.

I'm just trying to help people not get over-hyped. Don't get me wrong, I do hope they announce some awesome stuff. I've just lost faith in them though, I can't hype myself for it no matter what. I just feel they'll let me down in more aspects than please me. @dazzybee their online may be vastly improving by their standards but by industry standards they're still behind the times and don't show evidence that they'll draw level to those standards. Constant E3 streaming is ok but only if they've got things to show that will draw in big interest. Last year they thought announcing Wii Fit Trainer as a character in Smash Bros was major news... The Smash Invitational... I could not are any less for this at all, why would anyone? I don't get it. Do you guys also get excited for stuff like the CoD Championships? If I'm not playing or it's not a preview/review why would I even care? I just don't get it. Also, we don't know release dates of games yet, there's speculation and guesswork but nothing is set in stone. Hell, look at Donkey Kong, that release was given to us, then put back months... anything could happen with release dates. The Gamecube pad adapter, unless they announce GC VC this is no big deal in the slightest. Also, of games announced I'm only hyped for Smash and X, not one other game looks that good to me... and if Smash doesn't have full voice-chat I'll lose plenty of my hype towards it. To me the console looks like a bit of a lame duck currently. Dazzy, I've not even got Mario Kart. I don't know when I'll pick it up, maybe next week, maybe so eying thereafter... if it had full voice-chat and a proper Battle Mode, I'd have bought it and I'd even joined the N-E League!
