I love Periscope, it does make me feel pretty old when I use it though, everyone's all 'this is lit af' and 'that's legit bro'. Kids and their language.

Had a day to myself as I've been on the usual downward spiral that I find myself in every month or so. I feel especially mentally drained lately. Constant nightmares and bad thoughts, I've decided in my mind finally after batting the idea back and forth that I need to get out of care work even if it's just for 6 months or so. Last year was so draining personally with family matters and trying to keep my head above water emotionally was pretty hard. As such, I'm still in a fragile state and I just can't handle the emotional aspect of my job lately. Death is to be expected in my job role but ive had to deal with the death of 3 that I was very close to recently and keep getting images of them every now and then, the terrible state they end up in and seeing them take their last breath and become motionless is something I can't seem to push out of my mind.

I'm the second youngest on here, which is pretty unexpected at 24. Where did all the young ones go?! As for favourite age, I'd love to go back to 17, college was so damn fun with such great friends and the experimental Wii days were AMAZING for me. I should do this with the galactic horn on Wii Music:

I was friends with this quiet girl for the first year in college and everyone kept trying to get us together, I never got with her but could never deny having no interest as it was good for keeping my gay secret at the time. I got super drunk on a trip to Amsterdam, my tutor was giving a speech infront of about 40 students about how he was leaving, I went up and put my arm around him and started chanting his name. Thankfully everyone joined in and didn't leave me hanging but I still want to literally DIE when I think about it. I used to regularly sing 'I'm a Scatman' by Scatman John on karaoke, imagine lame White emo kid trying to 90's rap. So, so bad. There's so many that I try not to think about it too much :p Edit: as for forum days, I used to typ liek dis and woz called Bstmte.

AmiiU should be the new system name. Amiibo unlock everything even on the OS. Anyway, when do you guys think we'll get our first official NX screenshot? It could happen before Nintendo officially release an image, like this famous one

They might have been, which is why Nintendo need the support of those titles desperately. That or they need another huge hook like Wii Sports and Fit, I bet half of Wii owners bought it soley for Wii Sports and Wii Fit.

I really don't see the issue at all. All PS4 games are compatible on both the old and 'neo' version as far as we know, and you pay extra to get a neo which will have flashier graphics. The reason they didn't release the neo at launch, I'm assuming, is to avoid another $599 situation. I don't see how this is different to new iPhones being released every year, new PC parts or things such as the New 3DS, unless all of those send you into a fit of rage too.

I got charged £35 extra last month and £15 already this month on my EE contract. I pay for my phone and my nans iPad on my account, after ringing up to find out, it seems nan has somehow set up some regular payment to a healthy living and eye training site through text messages? I didn't know that was even possible. Anyway I've got EE to stop it and block websites that charge straight to the phone bill. Every time I see my nan she's fearful of accidently buying things and I always reassure her that there's no way she can without giving card details or entering her apple password, as I thought there wasnt! I guess I was wrong :p Anyway, I've been assured by EE it wont happen again now that the block is in place so I probably just won't mention it, else she'll be too worried to touch her ipad again. She could have signed up for worse things :p On a positive note, I sorted out my phones insurance whist talking to them, which I've been meaning to do for ages especially in time for holiday, and set up a block of pre-paid texts and minutes for when I go! Got my medical insurance sorted today as well. Lots of customer service calls for one day.

Some of these releases seem very bizarre but then hey, that's Nintendo :p I really hope they release Elite Beat Agents on VC one day but I'm guessing with licensing and shit it's probably not worth their time.

What hobby or entertainment did you view as a passing phase before getting completely invested? When I think of my love of KPop I think of it as a passing phase but then tonight I was listening to a live album by Shinee and getting really nostalgic with every song that came on and that's when I realised I've been listened obsessively to KPop since 2013 now. I still always think of it as something I stumbled upon a few months ago. I was interested by the crazy style and upbeat music initially and checked out one or two other bands before it snowballed out of control and I didn't realise. Now I listen to Korean music almost exclusively which... Is kinda weird when I consider I have no real connection with the country :p Anyway has this happened to you guys with anything before? TV shows? Authors? My Little Pony?

I like the designs of all these starters, the dog dolphin seal thing is my favourite. As far as Ken Sugimori is concerned, I just miss the old watercolour art-style which I think was his style/influence.

Lego City is genuinely ridiculous for loading times. I never got very far because I found it unbearable and it really takes you out of the game having to stare at a loading screen between places, I hadn't experienced loading times that hideous since the PS1 days. And the music just pissed me off in the end.

That's from 2010. They stuck to their word!

I really love this game but I haven't completed it once yet. I keep going back to levels I've done to replay and get better scores and slowly make my way through the Lylat System. I guess I've slipped back into 'casual' mode so I'm taking my time with this. It's nice to read comments on here about how fun the game is and the controls though. I genuinely think they're fantastic, the reputation this game has garnered is unjustified I think.

They're taking the places of existing Minecraft characters and as I love both series I find it quite charming, I can see how it could be off-putting though, especially if you're not used to the Minecraft look :p And with 40 skins, new music and textures I think it's pretty good as a free download. I'm also nearly 100% sure the reason this download is coming out is in preparation for a boxed release. I wouldn't be surprised if this was on-disc content and they had a Mario skin on the cover.

I've been playing this obsessively on Wii U so I'll be getting that pack in a heart-beat - It has DIDDY KONG!

I've started putting highlights from the YouTube videos on our Instagram! If you're into Igers and all that, you should check it out! https://www.instagram.com/n_europe/ And awesome stuff as always, the highlights always look so fun, I'm always so tempted to join but my shift patterns are all over the place so I'm never available on a regualr basis >.<

I've heard the Diddy Kong Racing 2 rumour for so long now I just assumed it to be true, will be sad if we don't get something along those lines.

Dang that looks nice, I'll probably have to wait for payday though so I hope they have plenty of stock

Dang, I need this so bad! I will definitely pre-order the special edition. And I checked out that trailer, looks really nice. I also checked out the intro, whilst I knew I shouldn't, I just couldn't help myself. But DAMN. If I didn't want it before (which I really did) then I sure as hell want it now.

Ah, well it will be worth the wait! I haven't got Shovel Knight, I've heard great things but after playing the demo I think it's too hard for me. It's the same reason why, as much as I love his design and the music, I just can't get into the Megaman series. And I hope you enjoy Lego City. I never completed it. I enjoyed what I played but I got it early on with my Wii U alongside a bunch of other games and never ended up going back to it. I should probably return to it at some point, the loading times just really dampened the experience for me though.

I'm enjoying this game far more than I thought I would, and really love getting to grips with the controls of the chicken and airwing, I genuinely think the controls add so much to this game, and I wouldn't be enjoying it anywhere near as much if it used traditional controls, but then I'm a stickler for new control methods, I loved all sorts of stuff on the Wii, even Monkey Ball Step & Roll, and I love the globe spinning controls of Kid Icarus. Where this game really comes alive is the dog fights though - Man, they're good. I never thought I'd like having to look at two screens, but locking onto an enemy and flying around on the main screen whilst aiming and shooting on the GamePad feels truly awesome. I noticed a lot in the Wii era that after the Wii Remote wore off, no matter how awesome developers used it, a lot of gamers just wanted a traditional control scheme. I can't help but think the same has happened here. Now that everyone has given up on the GamePad they just want traditional controls but if this was a launch game I think it would have fared better, both the game and the GamePad itself, but I guess that's Nintendo's fault.

That's awesome DK is THE best platformer on Wii U, and that's saying a lot considering how many there are! Such a good title, I'm so pumped for you to play it. And @Dcubed - Oh man, if this is a new Excite Truck or Excite Bots I might need resuscitating It's been FAR too long for games as awesome as those to make a return!

I know that Pit himself has a different voice actor than the early trailers so you should check it out, it's really great. I think it's nothing to worry about though, just get an outsider to collaborate with if they're not confident enough in themselves.

I've always hated dual analouge control, which is one of the main reasons I don't play many FPS games, the gyro controls are awesome and didn't take long to get used to at all. The only time it does annoy me is when you HAVE to look at the gamepad, during cutscenes and stuff, but even that I can handle. The game is hard though, especially for a Star Fox noob!
