lol very true....

Simple question answer and discuss....apply whatever context or reasoning you want and decide which you are. The reason I ask is because there is a woman at work who says everyone can be divided into these two categories but gives no reasoning... Apparently I'm a horse...I decided I'd rather be a horse because the life expectancy of a horse is higher than a currant bun!

Thinking back if it's who I think it was yes she was an idiot.

How bizzare I read reviews that made out it was hard!

God this game looks ugly through and thought. After the good will Nintendo got from Miitomo I feel like this is going to destroy it. I was interested in seeing a different take on Pokémon but this is not it at all.

Yes I remember reading something along those lines that he didn't think amusement visions/Sega did the series justice.

How hard is this game? It evokes feelings of those hard dungeon exploring games like etrian odyssey which I would never ever finish in a million ways.

So I haven't been on here for ages and I appear only to find this. I don't even remember posting it if I'm honest.

Ok so I posted a while back about my bargain Dreamcast and realised then a few other people do it...So started this thread to see if we can get people posting their bargains, pics included...today gaming related bargains were; Moonwalker (Sega Master System version) £1 Gameboy Colour Console and Zool Game £2 Atari Arcade plug in and play stick with 20 odd games £1.50 Thats it for today, nearly bought a PS2 but looked dodgy condition and then another one was way over priced......Could have spent more were a few other things but didn't. Also plenty of non gaming stuff...

I've been absent for so long guess we should get this thread up and going again!

The Gamespot and Giant Bomb reviews really stand out to me but every other review I've read has been good enough for me. I'm excited for this one, it's something different from Remedy once again.

Greg Grunberg does annoy me second time round for sure. Also the only reason I can think Leia stays in place is because the Republic has now been destroyed and she may be better positioned for the diplomacy side of that stuff. The first time round I wasn't completely sure what planets they had destroyed and the relationship to the Resistance but it's obvious second time round. As for the Rey & Leia thing yes they certainly missed an opportunity for Chewbacca to take that role of hugging her and evoking memories of Empires Strikes Back. Despite all this and JJ saying it was a regret I'm still not convinced Rey is a total stranger...I'm not sure she is a Skywalker per say but there is something going on and there are more things about Rey and some pre-production stuff that hints at her true nature.

I think the episodic nature of this is a little odd but the cheap first episode/introduction pack helps create a lower price point to enter at. Personally I think I'm likely to play and then have had enough Hitman.

So @Aneres11 you're not the only one who just got a shiny new Vita! I did too! Unfortunately I had to switch to my canadian account in order to be able to buy digital games quickly. However this has been to my advantage as I did subscribe to a Canadian plus account at some point to get discounts and it turns out I banked a bunch of Vita games; Uncharted, Wipeout, Gravity Rush, Don't Starve plus also got games like Spelunky on cross buy. So anyway add me flameboyCA and I'm up for any multiplayer does exists on there failing that online leaderboards!

So unblock.us came up with a temporary fix and new DNS number then told everyone to go back to the defaults and then the same problems have arised, I've noticed a few people posting on their support that they have stopped replying....

Well looks like its true.... This happened last night and we are using Unblock-US which is a DNS service not necessarily a VPN. Only to get round it was keep reseting console but got annoying after every episode. What is odd in the past if the DNS stuff was down it would just revert to my regions Netflix now it won't even do that effectively rendering DNS useless of other stuff such as Hulu, 4OD and BBC iplayer if I wanted to keep using Netflix.

It's certainly a growing problem here in Canada with each cable provider starting their own services like Showmi for example. I use the US Netflix purely for shows but it could be argued for up to date movies the Canadian Netflix is actually better as evidenced by Star Wars Force Awakens coming to that service first in Canada. For TV it's crap though there are laws about percentage of canadian made content that have to offered on any TV services so there is a bunch of fluff that no one wants to watch plus the TV companies here have such a monopoly I'd wager they are pushing Netflix out. However some of that is moving aside as I think the government are cracking down on it. Another separate problem exists in that you buy your cable package that comes with the likes of ABC, NBC, HBO but then the console versions of those additional free streaming services are not available in Canada yet you sit through countless commercials telling you to use them. VPN doesn't work for some of them as you need to register your cable subscription billing info.

Orrr....a year and a few days before...check the date on the BBC link... As I think I said on facebook not here...these same reports came out almost exactly a year a go and Netflix falsified them for sure. This time however the news has been posted on the Netflix blog so it's very much real. I'm sure they get pressured by the movie companies to do something, the solution would be for those big wigs to stop being such arseholes realize Netflix is the market leader and give them international streaming.

So after a hop back to England and a hefty baggage allowance for the flight back I've finally been reunited with my entire game collection. However I've run in to a problem with my N64. Plugged it in (with a plug adapter) switched it on that lovely red light comes on BAM No Signal. Looked it up people saying yeah those old AV cables are abit temperamental, so bought a new one plug it in....still nothing. All I get is a the screen kind of flashes twice and then the "no power" info pops back up. I've tried multiple carts, taking our the expansion pack and reinserting and nothing seems to work. It's not the TV, tried it both on my newer big TV but also my old portable that I moved over with me (which it 100% worked with as I played DK64 about 4 years ago on it) plus all my other retro consoles are working through that same TV. My only other thing to try was to go to the dollar store and buy some rubbing alcohol and some Q tips to clean the contacts inside the cart slot and the expansion pack.

Yeah I do have a lot of PAL games around 50/60 so a new console isn't really a solution. I did look at the price of a passport plus and it was around $80 which is not value for money at all. @Nolan quit your crazy talk!

@Dcubed @Eenuh @nekunando Thanks for all the advice guys. Looking at prices its cheaper to buy a US power supply than a step up converter. Just to clarify the PAL/NTSC signal issue I have a smaller samsung tv I shipped over when I moved that I have as a spare, that's been working fine with other retro consoles. This whole thing is so annoying....and never clear cut each old console is different, dreamcast just works no issues with travel adapter, Xbox doesn't switch on at all (ended up buying a used one and waiting for cable to show up so I can soft mod it to play UK games I only have 6) N64 light turns on but as it turns out doesn't actually work. @Rummy Yes that would have been the more simple solution.

So I posted this on a retro forum as well and they said this; Now the UK adapter has a range of numbers on it so I assumed it would be fine and the fact its powering on makes me think its fine in that regards....by contrast original xbox doesn't work at all because the power brick is inside and clearly says on back that it needs 220v. The fact the light is coming on makes me think its powering up plus I'm getting the screen flash. I think I'm gonna go with the cleaning of everything for now at least and see where I go from there. Loathed to shell out for a new North American power supply and it turns out to not be that having already paid for AV cable...

From what I played of the alpha the RPG elements weren't too complicated but still to the degree where it felt like it had the depth of a single player game. I'm 100% on board for this booking my last 4 days of vacation the week after it launches to play a crap ton of it.

There is some controversy going on I've not watched it yet; http://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick/v/34377308?t=20h03m27s But apparently one racer reset the others during a Link to the Past race didn't apologise and then was a complete dick through out the run.

Everyone needs to go and watch the Final Fantasy run...its only 12 minutes long...needless to say the morons of twitch chat were not happy that this was on stage.
