Yeah, the one on the Moor. I can't even remember how I found out it was there. I'm up for Snegget at some point soon. Just not this week, as I've got an assignment to finish before the 9th and Uni starts tomorrow.

True, and that's one of the reasons I have a preorder somewhere else, too. But this place is literally almost completely unknown. I went in the day after the Xbox 360 launch and they still had Premium systems left - they only got six. If they're not doing a midnight launch and other places are, though, sod'em.

I suggest the Wii launch, at that hidden GAME in the basement of Debenhams that hardly anyone knows about. I'll be there. We should all draw N-E on our foreheads or something, like the number of the beast

Haha. While I'm at it, there seems to be quite a few forumites in Sheffield this year. I've been here for a year so far (at Hallam doing game dev, hurrah), and it'd be kinda cool to meet up.

Haha, them and every other person in Sheffield. The Leadmill runs a night they call SHAG - it's probably an acronym, but I've no idea what for - and that's the poster they use to advertise. I've got a full sheet of stickers somewhere with SHAG slogans on.

The TV licensing people have full access to your house if they inform you of their intent to check up on you twenty-four hours in advance. They don't, contrary to popular belief, have to inform you beforehand. TV licences are specific to a 'living area'. In halls of residence, for example, in a flat with six bedrooms and a central living area, if you can lock your doors, then each room counts as a separate area. If you have a TV in the main room and one in your room, that's two licences - a potential of seven for the whole flat (or £840 all told), which is an absolute scandal. We had this situation last year, and three of us had licences while the other three did not. We got a letter warning us to get licences for those addresses that were not licenced, but there is no way that they can prove in that situation that you are watching without one. The TV detector van is in no way accurate. If you have two TVs in your house, one upstairs and one downstairs, it might be able to differentiate between the two, but that's when the units are far apart from each other. In a hall, with rooms placed tightly together and with a TV in each one, you probably won't get caught.

Fair enough. I did a flick through the release tables here at RE and saw Clubhouse Games, but 'all-time classics'? Not how I'd describe it. Ah well. Me jumping the gun. Sorry. :p

Hah, I was just about to edit the post and say that, but you beat me to it. Seems I need to look before I leap. Can anyone provide me with a link to details of this game? I've not heard of it at all before, although I'm still searching.

I was browsing over the NoE site just now, spotted the release chart theyu put up today (link), and found this: "42 All-Time Classics (Nintendo) - 29 Sep 2006" Could this be the Virtual Console? I've been looking around for any compilations about to be released, and can't see any. If so, this could mean a late Sept release, as rumoured, possibly earlier. Or it's just a GCN disc that I didn't know about.

Me too! Hey, kids, guess what? Tomorrow.

Technically, key figureheads of the gaming community (I'm talking Will Wright and co, for example, as well as the webcomicers like Scott Ramsoomair, Mike Krahulik, Jerry Holkins, and Tim Buckley), along with the general populous of gamers, could easily sue him for defamation.

Yeah, I enjoyed it (found it in an independent store and my brother bought it, heh). Strained my necka bi though, craining over it. I guess that's the mark of a good game, but I don't know... it seemed to get a bit repetitive. Yeah, I did that with MKDS. Hoping their delivery service is better than they say though, otherwise I'll be getting it a day late...
