They are seriously good games. Well worth the asking price and double dipping. I played all on the DS, but managed to put in over 65 hours into the 3DS trilogy. Awesome stuff. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

Yeah Volume 26 collects THE WALKING DEAD #151-156, and releases on September 14th. The whisperer war will run through 157 to 162, another 5 months off before the normal comic finishes that arc, probably 6 months off before Volume 27 releases.

Robbie Collins gives a great review of this on the Kermode and Mayo's Film Review podcast on BBC 5 Live. Not great, as in the film is superlative, but highlights all the shortcomings and misnomers present.http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/redir/version/2.0/mediaset/audio-nondrm-download/proto/http/vpid/p043r0qz.mp3

Understood, but it really makes me think this doping situation could be far worse than it seems and the majority are doing it. Tip of the iceberg. Completely left me totally dispassionate for the first time. The cheating 'minority' (those who actually got caught) have spoiled it for all. I won't be watching any of it.

I just can't gear myself up to watch any of it. All that Russian doping scandal, and other countries implied (Kenya, et.al.), the problems with sanitation, etc., has completely made me non-plussed. If I watch a race, I'll just think the winner is a cheating doper, so I'll forgoe all events. Not for me this time. I felt the same with the World Cup and FIFA being a highly corrupt organisation, missed it all.

This is so important for me. And may mean me not picking up an NX for a long time if it's not region free. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

If you disconnect both controllers and turn them on their sides they share the same form ( great for SNES games if R and L are included), but the XY AB buttons will be rotated out of axis and in the wrong places ( that will be a massive head fuck to get around control set-ups). One way to deal with this is that free form screen idea Ninty patented, what if it extends to the controllers and lets games designers choose what goes where (ignoring cost of course, I dream).

I can see an early death due to CG related expenditure.

An interesting theory/assumption about the comics came up on the official website.

There's a wonderful BBC podcast entitled "More or Less" which investigates statistics. And being from the BBC is impartial. They found that the percentage of workers that commit suicide in Foxconn is half of the general world population. A spate of 5 in a row, which happens in statisics, known as clustering, is very common. To repeat, Foxconn overworking their personnel and causing premature death is erroneous, and was pushed by journalists too lazy to actually fulfill their duty to investigate matters fully. A cluster of events happening close together does not indicate the full story, (look at 2 years ago and the spate of plane crashes, the media would have all had us believe in some supernatural power), unfortunately the way the human mind has evolved, over 2.5 million years, leaves us prone to seeing patterns where none exist. Hence the birth of witches, gods, celestial dictators, superstitions, etc.

What, this hamster?

I'm getting that feeling also.
