Happy birthday to you! And thanks to those that wished me it too!

Haven't got stuck in a barrier on the tube, but it always amuses me when tourists try to use their paper tickets as Oyster cards, and stand there for ages wondering why it doesn't work.

I've got ~70 stars and have done the final boss. I love the music in this game, and the game istelf has been brilliant too. Cannot wait to see what the final galaxies hold!

Awesome photos, Maiky-NiSuTe! In case anybody still cares/wants to hate me further, I found some more photos of my friend: http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/news_161107_mario.html and http://i-am-random-j.blogspot.com/2007/11/cosplay-of-day-chain-chomp.html (in the ONM photo I'm wearing my blue mushroom kingdom t-shirt behind the Iranian kid)

Picture won't load for me, but if you were Toad with a waistcoat and big hat and got to the Oxford St. one at about 7:30-8:00, I saw you. We were leaving when you/someone else came.

He still might. He now has 2 Wiis, so one will go. Found an image of it from Gamespot: Looked a bit better when the mouth was more closed, but still good.

At 7 there were still camera crews left. We had to hang around for him to get interviewed etc. It may have been him you saw, if it was a chain chomp costume that was about 5ft tall and looked like a few bin bags. It took him ages to make, and it was impressive but didn't look perfect. I think he won because practically all the other costumes were either just hats or ready-made costumes. With this one he'd done it all himself.

Yeah, I think he's popping it on eBay when it arrives (Nintendo decided to post it to him, they ran out of Wiis!). Since a Wii AND it's signed by Martinez it'll be worth a mint. It was pretty amazing, got lots of attention from Nintendo people. When Martinez walked over to us I was pretty excited.

Oh my God... I went to the Oxford St. one with 2 friends, one of whom dressed as a chain chomp. After loads of interviews (ONM, TV etc.) it was announced he'd won the Wii! Even before this Charles Martinez came over and chatted to us. He's even getting the Wii signed. Pics (some with me in) will be on the web. Unreal...

You missed out the obvious 'because U R MR GAY'. I'll be getting this at Game tomorrow.

I'll look out for you. Since it's a three hour window and they'll have loads of copies, I wouldn't bother going especially early. 17:30 would probably be fine. I wonder if there'll be an organised queue, considering the shop'll be open anyway.

Well, it's tomorrow, so see you at the Oxford St. Game if your going! I'll have my DS with me, and any multiplayer/pictochat shenanigans will be done with my name as fatnickc. Remember guys, I'll have a blue 'What happens in the mushroom kingdom stays in the mushroom kingdom' t-shirt, so come and say hello! Or I'll have to do that to you - how embarrassing!

I'll be going to the Oxford St. one, probably in a blue 'What happens in the Mushroom Kingdom stays in the Mushroom Kingdom' T-shirt. If you see me say hi!

So how are people doing at GW: Waves? I've got about 1.5million, which is ~700th.

I give up. Have 'fun'.

Agree. Just waiting for my pizza to arrive before I go upstairs and watch something good.

It's on now, by the way. Seems like it'll be nice and short considering that the developers don't get a speech or anything.

Since I've little else to do (well, I do, but never mind) I'm considering watching the Golden Joysticks. There's a live feed here, so if anyone else is watching do say. It looks like it'll be really dull, but oh well. Bloody hell this is rubbish.

Got 4 today. Don't like the bit of plastic between A and the Home row, but it feels surprisingly nice to use. Anyway, I'll take it off now and put it with my spare wrist straps.

I learnt when to do the swing, I just didn't like how I didn't really feel that I was controlling the outcome of any swing.

Got a 360 recently, so could you please add: fatnickc | fatnickc I'll try and add as many people from here as I can.

I'm looking at getting an HDTV for my 360. I don't want to spend very much, with £350 being about the maximum (I can go over it, but I'd rather keep my money for games). I saw this TV earlier in the thread and so am considering that one, but does anybody know of what's the best option?

I played on a mate's copy yesterday and didn't have the time of my life. It wasn't awful, but it just didn't feel responsive.

Damn, missed this again. Oh well, next time...

I'm not enjoying TF2 as much as I think I ought to be. It's fun, but something's not right with it. It'd be better with more people, too.
