Wasn't sure about it but it was only 83p on Wii U so I'm not losing much if I don't like it.

So Nintendo's strategy to release IP on mobile to pull people to their dedicated hardware is actually working.

I'm happy contributing but I'm not keen on doing it monthly. Are you still happy to PayPal? If not I guess I could do a Patreon for a higher amount and then cancel it after a month?

Anyone doing the last ever Splatfest? Think the choice between Callie and Marie is a bit harsh, but will be playing anyway.

Didn't see anyone mention this after E3 - I've always enjoyed a skiing/snowboarding game and those jump suit things could certainly be a fun addition. Not too sure about paragliding? Sure it's fun to do IRL, but isn't it a relatively sedate activity once you've run off side of the mountain that is.

Do you know when it's officially out in the UK?

I wasn't playing.I'm sure I'd have cared if I was.

I feel borderline treasonous for not caring about the football at this point.

That's what the very expensive bracelet is for.

That's what the story expensive bracelet is for. Get shopping.

I think Australia is more keen to get rid of her than Canada? Don't think either are pressing for it in any serious manner though (i.e. not as hard as Scotland presses for independence though I know that's not the same issue). I know Australia rejected the idea in their last referendum.

what does the link say? I don't want to click it?

They recently found a mummy in Egypt, covered in chocolate and nuts. Scientists believe it’s Pharaoh Rocher.

Yay. Fixed my laptop overheating today. Think I mentioned a while back my laptop was getting nearly too hot to touch within about 5 mins of turning on, and the fan would be full blast within seconds of pressing the power button so I'd basically stopped using it. I bought some thermal paste and had to take it to bits - the video I followed and several IT pros in the comments said my laptop has some of the worst access to the cooling system of any laptop they've repaired - you have to remove the LCD screen, top plate with the touchpad, keyboard, RAM, HDDs, wireless card etc. - basically everything that's not soldered on. I've never used thermal paste before, but the old paste was all splodged out the sides, covering all sorts of connectors so I can't imagine I've done a worse job than that. It seems to have done the job so far, so fingers crossed. Guess this is all bread and butter for you guys but I hate this sort of thing so am feeling quite pleased with myself.

This is literally the only good thing about the football which is bloody on again.

If you told me even 10% of the dangleberries that voted leave had a considered opinion on the matter I wouldn't believe it and if they still hold it now, just days after the vote I would absolutely drop dead of shock. Talk about buyer's remorse you can't refund on. I don't think I'd be half as bothered about leaving if I thought it was really what the majority of people wanted and not just a knee jerk reaction to the rancid press and politics we have poisoning our lives.

He's too angry and pessimistic for me to enjoy the show. I'd watch them anyway just to keep up though as he won't be there forever.

It's quite a major addition for an amiibo to give you a sidekick. I like the idea of a wolf companion (will they try and explain why you have two links in the game?) but I wonder if it would make the game too easy - he dispatched the goblin thing without link needing to get involved And removes he challenge of hunting. I also wonder how controllable he is? I saw a come command but can you, for example stop him attacking if you are trying for a stealth attack or environmental attacks with e boulders etc he would spoil those if he barrelled in.

Hmm the post I made before my shower doesn't seem to have landed, and I can't really remember what I wrote, but it surely wasn't how happy I was with the result. I was thinking about it in the shower though and what I remember not putting was that worse than leaving (which I think is a bad decision, but who really knows how that will turn out, certainly not the politicians, nor economic prognosticators) is just that it is such a vote for negativity [...]well, I was going to carry on my thoughts here but I actually can't bear to think about it just now,it's just one more dark shadow cast over everything.

I bought BoxBoy! It got great reviews when it was released and now it's half price as the sequel is out (soon?). Also bought fast racing Neo, and boy the the videos not do it justice, it is so fast even on the first cup. I'm going to be very bad at it.

That's quite some sass, coming from sonic. Shouldn't he be commiserating since they're both shitty versions of early gen greatness. Hedgehogs in glass houses and all that.

There was an arcade aeroplane racing game called plane crazy out in 1997: I'd love a sequel to that, though I'm guessing we've missed the window somewhat there.

Never regretted a day one Sony purchase.Not saying I would have regretted a day one ps4, but I promised myself* I'd wait for the slim and now with the neo coming out I'm pleased I waited as a slim is nicer but you're not missing out and sometimes they actually remove stuff, but the neo is a different beast and I wonder how it will affect/effect people's buying habits in the future. *That was actually to clear my ps3 backlog first which had failed spectacularly.

Yay, a Nintendo fan. Are you planning to get an NX? Lots of people's enthusiasm for Nintendo seems to have ground to a halt at the Wii U. Either way, nice to see you here. Hope you like the place.

I did make a slow no knead bread that took a day to make, but didn't need half that much attention. I was lovely but I must say sourdough is my favourite. I admire your dedication, but can't say that's for me.
