No charger? Quite possibly one of the most stupid decisions I've ever seen from a company. This is going to backfire so bad, the amount of returns is going to be crazy.

Okay Reggie.

Ha, yes. Loads of articles at the time of the 360 launch.

Haha, I'm exactly the same. That's why I put both in the first post.

2.5 hours, again rubbish.

I'll need a damn long USB cable then, my PS3 cable is no way long enough but that doesn't need charged for every 3 hours so it's fine.

What about people who don't have a plug socket near where they play? No avoiding this is a terrible thing.

As soon as I saw it was CGI I knew it wasn't real, Nintendo would use in engine stuff.

Ok serious thread time. Now, what I've seen about the Wii U over the past few does has actually really impressed me. They have changed everything people didn't like about the GamePad, I like the look of the online system, and the horsepower of the console is better than what I thought it was going to be. Even the E3 press conference I was satisfied with, it's what I expected. People who thought Rockstar were going to come out with GTA V on it, or Capcom with RE6 were just being un realistic IMO. The only thing I thought may make an appearance is Retros new game, but you can't have it all. So, everything has been going well. Here's me thinking my main console might actually be a Nintendo one again, colour me excited. But then this morning on Eurogamer I read this quote which could quite ruin yet another generation of Nintendo's home console for me. "The battery life of the Wii U's GamePad controller has been fully detailed by Nintendo, with a single charge expected to last between three to five hours." WHAT. That is absolutely shocking to say the least, my Xbox controller get's 40 hours. iPad 10 hours, and the Wii U, say 4? That might not even be enough for one play session, the controller doesn't even have a CPU or anything inside like a tablet, it's just a screen. All the processing power comes from the console. Words can not describe what a let down this is for me, I was expecting at least 10. Maybe even nearer 20. So, so disappointed. Nintendo will never learn.

I think what 343 is doing with Halo is amazing personally, it feels different yet the same. I do agree the E3 demo has a Metroid feel to it but that's by no means a bad thing as Metroid is awesome and it's also very different to every other shooter on the market. Maybe this is saying too much but I think 343 might actually surpass what Bungie have done.

Post some your favourite 90's/early 00's songs, all the cheesy classics though. Stuff like TLC - Waterfalls, Shaggy - Wasn't me etc. I've been listening to loads over the past few days and I know I'm missing tons. I'll start.

Was hoping for Majora's Mask and I got fireworks, in a bad way.

Gears of Star Wars, I'm in.

If it's like the PS3 version, possibly the worst port I've played in my life. No exaggeration.

I haven't read through all the posts but do you have good quality thermal paste that, no offence but is correctly applied? It makes a high difference.

First signing for the toon. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11678/7773951/Amalfitano-joins-Newcastle

Haha fair enough, I barley looked at it I just saw someone post it on Facebook.

United have signed Hazard, exciting.

I really think he will do well if he goes to the reds, If I was a Liverpool fan I'd be all over the news.

Simple things make me happy.

Love Gary, good choice.
