£47 just netted me a Move Started bundle and a Nav Controller (our GAME's staff is cute too) And now to go onto GAME.co.uk and buy Zumba Fitness for my mum. ("cud u look on one of your many game websites n c if wii do zumba dance"). It's £15 on line, but I thought I'd pop to the store n see how much it is in-store then my sis can drop it off on Tuesday. £25 in store. Once again people: And they wonder why GAME is collapsing.

Hmm.... Tempted to just go into town now and pick one up..

It's the same price in-store as online?

Yeah I'd say Just Cause 2 as well. It's a good pop on and play title. It kinda depends what games I have at hand and what I've being playing as my main game. At the moment Witcher 2 is kind of filling in for both roles, but that's cos I have no time for a "main game".

Yeah, good deal. It's not the worlds most awesome game, but it's a great game for popping on in short bursts n blowing shit up.

Don't need a HD screen on something hand sized And yeah it's only been 5 years for the Wii which is kinda short. Though it has started to lose steam. It's also going the route of low powered machine if it's only a bit better than current gen HD consoles (which are now 5 years behind the curve, that's quite a few times for Moores law to come into effect) so it's going to have the same issue as the Wii does now.

Does he think being a non-gamer impairs his judgement or improves it? Watching his videos(Pach-attack/Bonus Round) there's plenty of times he comes off as kinda "wrong" . And it's often enough that I think most folks watch his show for the fun of seeing how off the mark he can be. Most the things he get's spot on are pretty obvious. But then he's also a bit like nostradamus too and if you say the PS3 will have a price drop and GTAV will come out often enough it'll eventually come true. Also maybe a bit of a personal question but who pays him? Do publishers give him cash to tell them things they probably know or are probably wrong? Or is it mostly just Gametrailers these days (since he has a Pach-attack logo as his twitter avatar n not Wedbush Morgan, or even his face) What makes him an "analyst" and the average joe an average joe. What leap is required to go from being an an average joe who is good at noticing trends n guesswork, to getting paid to do it for a living? ....yeah I don't think too highly of him at all. I mostly watch some of his stuff for the humour value. Also go for the one that pays more. I think I know what you mean when you put "appreciate" in quotes like that.

So yeah we've being playing nightly KF, even more now there's the potato thing, if anyone is up for joining in around nowish is a good time in the day. Though it can be quite full. Also we did the Aperture map today. Holy crap that door takes a lot of unwelding. Ended up having Mastrix (Goldn Wrench boy) running around kiting a siren while we had the rest of us unwelding it for about 10 minutes. Then we worshipped the potato a bit and welded the doors about 2% while the time counted to next wave. After about 2-3 minutes we sussed that the door wasn't taking damage. So we kinda slowly chipped away at it to re-open. I stopped at 0.08% and made sure they were ready. We opened the door. It went slow-mo. They all threw grenades. I went deaf. Then I pulled out the scar, they pulled out there guns. And we gunned down the 20-30 zombies that had accumulated on the other side in about 10 seconds. It was pretty fucking epic and we all regret not frapsing it.

June 2010 and June 2011 are though. Never mind the fact that before announcing and launching a console (which btw whose arse you pull "late 2012" out of?) you have to develop it, make games for it, show it to potential developers, get them developing for it. Get production going etc etc.

You know it's a 99.99% chance that whenever Nintendo release their new console it'll be HD. Whether they're going to have 2 consoles launches in the space of a year however is less likely I believe. It's a major strain to launch just one. Either way I don't much care for Nintendo so... Also lol at the "hey, now it does HD resolutions everyone is suddenly going to put PS3 n 360 games on it". Cos yeah, those kinect games are running on Move. They aim at different markets. Even if it ran HD I doubt Nintendo would be marketing their console at the same folks as Sony n MS when doing the opposite of them has helped them take the sales lead this gen. Which means 3rd party will probably struggle to sell their games to that audience. It's why pretty much all but Ubizoftz have left them behind in making 3rd party titles. Regardless of HD they'll still get cast offs. I think the online side is something Nintendo will need to deeply work on. A balance between their want/need to wrap their customers in cotton ball and the need for an actual functional and usable online service.

Yeah not a great sign when the trailer highlights major plot holes already.

We've tried to do a few, but most of the games where we're wanting to or are up for midnight release doesn't have one either at all or in our town. So yeah, no midnight release for me yet. I should maybe get into COD, that I reckon will have a midnight release here.

Yeah. If you play on PS3 you'll unlock Trophies and Steam Achievements in tandem. If you just play on PC you'll only unlock the Steam Achievements. A little reason to play through twice I guess.

http://store.steampowered.com/news/5305/ Holy crap that's an update and a half. As far as things look this isn't Potato related/Portal 2 ARG. Just a crap ton of the stuff that has been in testing on Beta TF2 is now in the full blown TF2. Lot of server changes, weapon tweaks and updates to the tutorial mode.

http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-257/ Blender just got updated with what is meant to be a pretty hefty update. New improved UI to make it a bit easier to work your way around as a new user, improved memory n CPU use and a bunch of other 3D-ey things.
