    Its what i've done, i've traded loads of stuff in, got about £150 so far and i need to sell my Albw 3DS XL so i'll be close to it

     

    For being £20 close to it, id go for it certainly, if worst comes to worst you play zelda get bored or hate how online works and sell it for the same money (doubt it would drop by any significant amount)

    Well,

     

    I've bought a house! £169k in the same estate where i grew up, three bed semi detached backing onto Templenewsam Woods, couldn't be happier!

     

    After the last nonsense i kept rather quiet on this one, fearing the same situation could occur during the survey stage and when it brought up some faults (asbestos garage roof that was damaged - football sized hole in it) i shat myself.

     

    Went to the vender asking all coy that we'd like to discuss options and ideally meet the vender some way as we were at our limits and first time buyers yadda yadda, and they took pitty on us and said they'd inquire about replacing the garage roof and then negotiate.

     

    Well it was like winning the lottery, they came back saying it would cost about £1500..........and they'd have the work done on the condition we completed the sale within the next 2 weeks, we signed the very next day!

     

    absolutely buzzin! we get the keys next Tuesday, so aside from something going wrong (fingers crossed it doesn't) i shoudl be moving soon

    Its a shame because he looked the part and for a few episodes was very very good, unfortunately the writing sucks so its been a generally poor run with him as Doctor, so its a good thing Moffat is finally leaving too

    This thread was started to avoid all this stuff. Can we get back to that?

     

    Exactly. Feels like I can't even safely post in this thread now. Maybe we should create The Other Other Switch thread.

     

    To avoid other peoples opinion? In that case, this thread should be renamed to clarify this. The reasoning behind this thread is actually quite hilarious.

     

    Look Can we build A wall around this argument and make this thread great again?

    Maybe we should make the original WiiU/Switch thread users pay for the wall too

    La Noire is a really odd choice, i have it for the PC and played 6 hours before i uninstalled it

    That said if its remastered and they tweek some of its issues (like the dialogue options and not being abe to restart conversations or return to question lines) it might be quite good! I do feel kind of forced to buy it so Rockstar continue support

     

    GTAV could work on Switch, but i think GTA online could be the issue - the online for the Switch is unknown and then its not exactly going to work on the go is it?

     

    I'd prefer Red Dead Redemption, but from what people are saying on Gaf the reason thats not had a remaster is because the code is such a mess (comparatively) it would need rebuilding for Ps4/Xbox/Switch.

     

    I'd love to see Alien Isolation too, it could lend well to portable play (i basically played the game from corridor to corridor)

     

    I don't mind remasters at all, its a relatively quick way to get a game library for the Switch, ideally i'd like every WiiU game to be ported so i can flog the WiiU

    No one speculated Revenge of the Sith was about one Sith lord.

     

    The Last Jedi probably encompasses a range of things... the story of how the last Jedi were wiped out by Kylo Ren, how Luke became quite possibly the last Jedi knight, and the story of Luke and Rey as the last.

     

    Not a fan of the title tbh.

     

    Thats probably along the right lines, after all Jedi and Sith are both plural as well as singular so it fits eitherway.

     

    Not sure why everyone thinks Luke will get killed off

    I'm amazed how many people have Kodi boxes and don't understand how it works and how its illegal

    My girlfriend is in the TA and her senior officer recommended she got a Kodi box and get shot of Sky because you get all the same programmes for free. when I said it was illegally streaming/downloading she actually called up this 50 odd year old bloke and asked him and he said it was perfectly legal - like you Rez - because it was from Amazon

     

    After a lengthy argument chat I had to show my girlfriend several consumer websites for her to believe me!

     

    I think people are ignorant of what these things are and because its become so common place the Police are slow to knock off these things

    My Grandmother (I was brought up by my grandparents) was adamant that I have JR somewhere in my name as my family were huuuuge Dallas fans prior to my birth.

    This is how i'm going to picture you from now on

    I think it's unfair to say it's just excuse covering and defending, it means whenever someone disagrees with someones opinion they just say - you don't mean it, you're just coming up with excuses for them. Just maybe Serbia actually thinks this.

     

    I also don't think it's a huge deal. Do I think they should have streaming services, probably yeah. But I'm not going to lie there is something about a streamlined pure gaming console that excites me a lot.

     

    I understand the regular use theory on keeping customers engaged with the platform, but who here doesn't have at least two other devices that have all these services? I own 8.

     

    What the hell does an oppressed former communist state have to do with the Switch? are they being manufactured there? :laughing:

    It sounds like you have had really shit luck. I'm still using my launch system pad and have clocked probably a thousand hours in Destiny alone.

     

    Then again you also get some people who are really rough with their controllers. I'm sure I saw some totally wrecked PS2 controllers at my friends' houses back in the day and I did wonder quite how they fucked up their controllers so badly.

     

    A slightly unrelated observation, but I'm always in awe at how many people seem to completely ruin their phone screens too.

     

    Probably is shit luck, but i'm currently hating my controller, I blame the 400hours of destiny!

     

    And Phone Screens! I don't get how people smash them so frequently ::shrug:

     

     

    Just catching up and were on vocie chat again.......That quote is just all over the place and so vague! It can't be solely Phone App for voice chat/lobbies etc it just can't be! This surely has to be ANOTHER case of nintendo not communicating their meaning.

    I truely believe it has OS voice chat but with a very good app to control it on your phone that gives you options

     

    the alternative is just insane! what about people with dumb phones? Windows or Blackberry? how would your phone even manage a lobby for an online game and link up seamlessly with the audio etc? surely it introduces a Lag

    If this was any other company we wouldn't even be considering they'd go that route, but this is nintendo and sometimes they embrace the crazy

    The PS4 controller is an extremely solid pad.

     

    Not that i'm disagreeing with your whole point (the pad is too expensive, so are the PS4 and Xbox ones too) but fuck me the DS4 is not a solid pad!

     

    Most of my Friends have PS4's, i regularly go to 4 of their houses for parties, to chill etc and play some Rocket League, Fifa or something. Between the four houses there are 10 pads and all bar about 3 have destroyed thumb stick rubbers

     

    My own DS4 died this last week, the R2 will no longer register a full pull of the trigger, which I discovered on Final Fantasy 15 where Controls for Chocobo are Trot using R2 and Sprint Square, but you can only sprint when fully at trotting speed.

    After testing it on other games some worked, some didn't depending on how much of a trigger pull it needed.

    Took it apart and the rubbers over the circuit board get split open by the shape of the back of the trigger (googled it and its a known fualt), I tried every quick fix and none worked and resorted to buying a replacement piece

    That too has now stopped working as it seems the actual board if probably damaged now because i'd obviously been adjusting pressure on the sensor to compensate for it lacking in sensitivity.

    Whilst i had it apart i discovered what the rattle its always had was - a random screw just loose in the casing, with no hole it was meant to be in, so just a spare in the casing from being manufactured

     

    Its the worst pad i've ever owned for reliability second only to the WiiU Gamepad, where the rumble now squeeks so has to be left off (not paying £90 for it repairing)

     

    I think Sony, Nintendo (can't say for MS but i'd hazard the guess) have all started producing inferior pads that are poorly manufactured so as to put in extra tech....... and then charge a premium for it!

    how about Ashley and DiscountAshley? or if one of you has facial hair they can be called Mustache

     

    I've always been Chris but when i worked somewhere and a Kris joined they started calling us by our surnames, not overly keen on that

     

    In highschool, whilst on the bus home some guy who thought he was funny called me Chipmunk because he said i looked like the ones in the cartoon, more specifically Theodore not even the cool one! - he promptly got a black eye

    Its a piss take that they've basically given you a plastic wiiwheel to hold them - I winged in the other thread about this, the charging one basically has some contacts in slots to line up with the joy con, some wires, a bit of circuitry board and a USB C!

     

    Seriously that would be next to nothing cost wise for the components and they are already had both types in production so its not as if there were set up costs! its just Nintendo being unreasonably tight and realising they can have another revenue source
