  1. Your winner is No One Lives Forever 3, at least according to my coin.
  2. I just watched Orphans of the Storm. At 3 hours long I nearly didn't bother but I'm glad I did. It was enjoyable and I love the acting in silent movies. I should watch some more of them but I'd have no clue where to start.
  3. I just click on a new song just before the current one ends so I never get any adverts.
  4. I've never played a Zelda game I didn't love and I think the new art style looks beautiful so I really can't imagine not loving it. Having said that Nintendo do seem to be trying their best to annoy loyal customers of late. I agree the controller looks awesome and the bundle is actually the cheapest way to get a motion plus controller, which I don't own at the moment. Only thing is my boring white nunchuck is going to look dreadful drear plugged in to it.
  5. My parents have pre-ordered this for Christmas, which means I CAN'T PLAY IT UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!
  6. that... thing... is awful. If they bring out a new redesigned console I will not be happy. If they give all existing customers a free add on pad I will not be happy. If they offer all existing customers a new redesigned console and move all their games over I will still not be happy. This fiasco just shows that they had no confidence in the 3DS hardware to begin with so they shouldn't have released it. You may not have liked the power or design of older consoles but you always felt that Nintendo released what they wanted to and had solid reasons for their decisions. They just seem to have completely lost their way and I can't help but have lost a little faith in them. I actually feel more sad than angry.
  7. http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/games/874412-dead-island-review-happy-trails Not a very +ve review. it does say the coop can be fun, but not local. If you haven't heard of the site it's my favourite - they don't just throw anything up then check on the facts later and the reviews are always very fair.
  8. Ocarina of Time 3D. I've started the game a couple of times on the N64 and Gamecube. I really enjoyed it but I don't think it stood out as better than any of the other games in the series, maybe you had to play it at the time as it was such a leap from what else was out there at the time. I'm glad I can say I've played it now though as I think it's one of those games that everyone should play. I thought the 3D remake was very good too not just the 3D which I loved and really felt added to the experience but also the improvement in textures which you don't really appreciate until you look at some of the N64 videos online - it's quite shocking! Going to have a go at the original Zelda next since I just got it for free on 3DS so I can see where it all started.
  9. I'm reading I Capture The Castle at the moment - I'm really loving it. Cassandra is really vividly drawn you can picture her as you are reading.
  10. I needed textbooks for all my subjects at university and I'm in the UK, so I guess it is more of a course by course rather than country thing.
  11. 2.6GB? poo. Does anyone want my beta code? I'm not 100% sure if it's linked to my account but you're welcome to try it.
  12. did you see how big the download for the beta is? It's a bit near the start of the month to blow my broadband allowance.
  13. were you not online at all before the 12th? if you set up your friend code before then or updated the system software you should be registered too
  14. I'm starting to think publishers won't be happy until we all sign over our wages directly into their accounts and they'll supply us with games if and when they choose.
  15. I downloaded my free games today and found the process was really easy and quick to complete. Overall, I'm pleased with the games offered. I certainly think they chose a good selection - you can't say they fobbed you off with second rate tat. I don't think they could have done anything more (except release it at that price to begin with!)
  16. I have tried several times to like tofu, but I can only eat a few pieces before my gag reflex kicks in.
  17. I think everyone everyone going to a gym should post a progress photo in here once a month to incentivise them!
  18. I wish British retailers would pull their fingers out so I could pre-order this. It is exactly the bundle I was hoping for.
  19. Boo - you can't pre-order arcam city for wii U
  20. I just finished watching Dreamcatcher. It was really awful. Films based on Stephen King books seem to either be great or abominations never just OK. I thought since this one had a few actors I recognised it would be good. I was wrong, mind you I read the book years ago and thought that was pretty pants so I guess it was stupid of me to expect anything better. Jason Lee does look good in glasses though!
  21. I made jambalaya for my Mum's birthday dinner today. I doubt it was authentic but it was really tasty and it's a complete nightmare thinking of meals my brother will eat as the list of ingredients he doesn't like is a lot longer than the one he does. I also made a key lime pie - though I know that wasn't authentic as a proper one is made with lime curd and I basically made a lime mousse on top of a ginger nut base. This version is a lot lighter and more refreshing though. I have made lemon curd in the past and it is rather delicious compared to the shop bought stuff - definitely worth the effort if you're making a lemon meringue for example.
  22. You can buy it from normal retailers so you must be able to buy it on PAYG. No idea how much it will cost though but I'm betting it's too much to hope it would be liek the Kindle and have free data. Yes I know it would use more data than a Kindle but it could be free just for the game related stuff and PAYG for the non-core opertions stuff.
  23. mmm, just had baked Camembert for the first time. Gorgeous. Tasted like cauliflower cheese and dead easy to cook.
  24. It was quite hard to get one where he didn't have a massive grin so he looked more like the album cover.
