Well you can only have 10000 at one time, and it'll be very few people that can use only stars to buy enough Wii Points to last for the entire console lifespan, particularly considering that the exchange rate is likely to be awful. It does seem like NoE though.

has been dispatched - <£21 delivered from Play-Asia.

Please don't go for VB. It's impossible to implement high-end, optimised features akin to those in C++.

No way. You'd better have heard wrong.

So far I know of 1UP and GameSpot, with the mention of G4 in this thread (although I think they're only showing it on their US TV channel). It looks as though you're right about needing paid Insider membership for IGN, meaning it'll be very nice for those that have it.

Yes, but youtube is a flash product. GameSpot's previous live streams have used Windows Media Player, but maybe they'll pull something out of the bag this time. If you meant just reading stuff on your Wii, then yes, you'll be fine.

I doubt any sites will be doing a Wi-compatible stream - most use WMP. However, please do prove me wrong! I thought that was only going to be shown on their TV channel, and not on the website. I'd be glad to hear if you're right. Gamespot are doing a stream provided you have a free account.

You mean the North Atlantic Drift. The gulf stream becoems that when it hits North America. I'd prefer cooler weather in Britain, so if the NAD stops I'd be happy.

What's less annoying but more funny and cruel is when they try to use their paper tickets on the oyster readers.

I nearly got caught up in that - they closed the roads on Friday at midday but I'd left by 11:30.

Ah. I would give the link but it's specific to each member. Are you signed up to receive emails?

I just bought 6 bottles of Coke Zero and 8 of Diet Coke for £9.80 (2 for £1.40). Hopefully I'll win a few songs/an iPod, but I'm planning on selling the bottles on at no loss/slight profit.

NoE just sent me an email about a new survey about Mario Strikers Charged, which you don't need to have played from the looks of thigns to complete the survey. Only worth 50 stars this time, but that's better than nothing.

/During E3 I couldn't find any confirmation that Gamespot would stream the conferences, but this forum post confirms it, provided you have an account (free/sub).

I wouldn't care if people started following Harry Potter - I think/know it's made up, so I wouldn't join them. To say that you resent that he said that the Bible was made up isn't in my view acceptable. You can disagree with him, but to resent his views isn't on.

Pretty cool but I'd like a slightly darker orange. 8/10

I favourited it a few weeks ago, but this is still great.

Yay, progress! I'm still gutted that they want me to spend all my stars, but as long as points are always available (which they should be) it'll be alright.

Have you tried the built-in lessons and tutorials? They aren't perfect, but do go some way towards teaching you what to do.

lollerskates How funny.

I got Strikers on Saturday, and I've really fallen further in love with my Wii. Single player isn't great, but I've spent far too much time playing online. Would I buy a Wii for that? No. I wouldn't have bought one just for any of the 8 or so games I own for it. I am very happy with my purchase, however, because I can honestly say that, unlike with my GameCube, and somewhat like with my DS, I can always pick from my Wii collection, clichéd as it may be, a game that really does suit my mood.

I've been looking for Ikaruga for ages. If I don't find it cheaper soon, people are selling sealed copies on Amazon for about £20. I don't really know what's rare, but I have Driven! It's awful... I also have BG&E, and probably more.

And I was happy with 48-0 in the second cup!

I listen to it weekly, but there's already a topic: http://www.n-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12941
