S.C.G

Wait, it's a free download when you buy the game? I assumed that it would be something additional you'd need to buy, also I know it sounds daft for an originally downloadable only game but, if this gets a physical release with some of the better examples of the Nintendo characters/theme on the box cover... I'd be tempted to buy it. Also... amiibo support at some point maybe?

Oh yeah, it's certainly cringe-worthy in many ways but I meant purely from the perspective of fitting it into the limitations of Minecraft plus the fact that having Nintendo themed skins over everything instantly raises the aesthetic appeal. The characters are far from perfect but in a way they are probably the best they can be for fitting in with the exact proportions of the existing player sprite. I likely won't suddenly rush out and buy it in reality, seeing various Mario themed worlds recreated in Minecraft complete with some textures which actually look half-decent is pretty cool though.

Suddenly the world of Minecraft looks instantly more appealing to me. :p Amazing what some themed dlc can do. I don't even really like Minecraft that much either... the building aspect seems interesting and I respect what the "game" is but beyond that... I don't know.

So did anyone get their copy from ShopTo yet? Mine didn't arrive, I thought it odd when they stated it had been sent last Wednesdays, they must have been just sending the e-mails in advance. Looks like it will be launch day for most of us then, I'm OK with that though so long as it turns up.

Most boxes will allow for this but I wouldn't recommend it if you're doing this with a rare N64 or SNES game box as they likely won't be the same again... they might be fine but if it's a rare game I wouldn't risk it but probably fine for general titles I guess but then you also have the cardboard trays as well which don't flatten that well.

Yes I saw that "replacement" bundle, it should be at least £10 - £15 cheaper really being that most of the stuff in the package is digital plus you don't have even half of the extras.

Whatever you do, please don't chuck away game boxes and manuals as I can tell you now, they are most definitely worth money, in some cases not a huge amount but in rare cases a fair bit. Personally I enjoy keeping the game boxes for the majority of my collection, there's something satisfying about having them all lined up in excellent condition. I know it's not for everyone though... if you do decide that you don't want to keep certain games boxes/manuals in your collection any more, I would definitely be interested depending on which ones you have. : peace: There are plenty of other members on here who would be interested as well I would have thought so just something to consider.

If you pre-order from ShopTo there's a chance you'll have it tomorrow I think... http://www.shopto.net/video-games/ps4/PS4UN00-uncharted-4-a-thiefs-end-launch-edition Orders were starting to be processed from yesterday and I'm sure I had a dispatch e-mail already, granted it hasn't turned up today but Friday or Saturday is likely, they still seem to have plenty of stock too. : peace:

This is one game where I could see myself getting into the online at some point, we should figure out an hour or so one evening when we're all free. What about Thursdays 9PM after the Mario Kart league? From one racing game to another.

No worries. As long as the game is enjoyed, that's the main thing.

I'd love the Freedom Planet code to pass on to my brother please. But only if there is no one from here interested in it, really cracking game which you should buy if you like classic Sonic games with a twist. : peace:

So when you're invaded, the invader can't be hurt by the usual enemies in the game but you can summon another player to help you out? I recall from the first game that you could summon other players but only in certain instances, I'm assuming it's the same here? I'm just genuinely curious about Dark Souls III as I have a feeling I'd enjoy playing it after seeing your experiences and others who are playing it currently, I have the same feeling about Bloodborne... perhaps I should start with that before venturing into Dark Souls III? For reference I've only ever played the first Dark Souls which I didn't finish... this game looks more refined somehow though. Great video either way, thanks for sharing. : peace:

Wow, that's awful. I'll only ever play the original release now that I know this, the new music is terrible in comparison.

This basically... :p I do miss the days when you could just hand in a CV at Tesco and you were still in with a chance of them actually looking at it, I was fortunate as I just handed my CV in to the member of staff who was greeting people on the door at the time, I was polite, said I could work any hours and would be grateful if they'd pass my details on; they did... I'm still there over ten years on. Perhaps not my intended career choice but it is a part-time job which I'm still grateful to have. All I can say is to just put yourself in the role of the customer service assistant where the customer is always "right" - amongst other things sometimes - and that you're just doing your best to serve them, which usually entails giving them what they want - where possible - as the clue to everything in the questions - to an extent - is in the role you're applying for, though you'll probably find the questions are similar no matter what position is being advertised. : peace: I'm not trying to be clever here, just illustrating the way in which they want you to think, it's all about playing the game as it were. :wink: Anyway I wish you all the best Eddage I really do, chances are though you'll end up finding something better though even if it might not seem like it right now. I've got to ask though... What do you really want to do if you had the option to? And... What's stopping you? I often ask myself the second question a lot and usually resign myself to the usual way of reasoning which is, I'm earning some money in a part-time job and I enjoy what I'm doing in my spare time.

Well I for one am not surprised... Activision, so what did you expect? :p Of course they will hold back ten of the maps for COD4 multiplayer and then charge you for the rest, this seems obvious as it always comes down to money. Don't tell me that anyone actually expected better of them? The entire game is being remastered at least, just some maps will be paid for DLC, if you really want them... then buy them, if you don't then do not buy.

Thanks so much to everyone for yet another amazing Super Smash Bros. Tournament! Easily the craziest one yet! It was great being in everyone's company over the past few evenings as well, I really enjoyed it. : peace:

I don't drink very often these days... ...but when I do I tend to drink Doom Bar. It was originally a local ale but you can get it in a lot of different places now, it still tastes pretty decent and I would recommend it.

What do you think the future of film holds? Great potential which I hope will become realised, film has already come so far but currently a lot of the focus seems to be on sequels and reboots still, I think in order to think bigger these days, you've got to think smaller by which I mean more independent cinema. What are your predictions for future films (in terms of content and box office)? Hopefully more of a focus on films which have both substance and subtlety to them, explosions are nice but emotion can be just as powerful. What will be the "next big thing" (a la 3D) in the film industry? Who knows? A lot of it seems to be going towards 4K on the home cinema front so perhaps there will be a new era in 3D sound or perhaps cinemas will go full VR in order to mimic what may well be happening with the technology in the home space; plenty of possibility. Will the comic book movie genre really go the way of the Western? By that do you mean that it will become as popular and spawn just as many films as Westerns once did? Quite possibly, there seem to be a fair few of them around these days. What's the next big movie genre going to be? Reality... or parts of it, many films have already taken us so many years into the future but what about the here and now? Though that doesn't really translate to a genre I suppose so I'll just say that Modern Day Espionage/Spy Thrillers will become big; but if you mean the next genre as in one which hasn't been invenyted yet... pass. Which of the upcoming planned years in film do you think could be the highest grossing? Anything with Super Heroes or Star Wars attached to it, so with that in mind I'm going to say that Star Wars Episode IX will likely be the highest grossing film within the next few years. Will Fox and Marvel ever come to an agreement? I don't know much about the situation but if the money is right then possibly? Will Star Wars go on for the rest of time? Absolutely, so long as it remains profitable... will it remain as popular though in the eyes of fans if we keep getting more sequels though? That's the real question. Will we ever get another Police Academy film?! Never say never...

Call of Duty - Dead Space - Halo edition! Might actually be reasonable though, for a Call of Duty title... For the record I really enjoyed the first Modern Warfare, so I may be buying for the remastered game.

I've had to endure the circle of hell you speak of once on a visit to that Ikea store... that's definitely one time too many in my lifetime. (I wish I'd known of the hax at that time) Nice kitteh pillow though.

It's strange, I tried this a few times but couldn't get it to work. Does it only work once - ever - or once per month? I click the brick which scrolls to the top but my Mii who is standing in front of the coin boxes is never holding anything yet I try clicking a few times anyway just to see. Unless you need to click your Mii over 100 times or something.

It's just as well that I didn't delay the review any longer to coincide with the much-touted January update! :p Speaking of which, the game itself is very much worth picking up as it is. N-Europe Review Indeed I hear that the game is outstanding and worthy of all the praise it has received thus far. [/shamelessPlug]

Great fun last night, good to see we are keeping the usual PROFESSIONAL!!1111!! standards at an all-time high. Also, I haven't played Super Smash Bros. in ages and it most certainly showed last night :p let's hope that I can perform a little better tonight in the For Fun! category. I can't wait.
