Michel Ancel has designed a level for Mario Maker. Rather handily, the video is in French with no subtitles, so I've no idea if the level is included in the game or not, but Makes it sound like there will be other "guest levels". It would be cool if they have a special section for special levels, e.g tied to new game releases, famous developers etc.

anyone know what this song is please? I'm guessing you'd need to be a fan of Japanese girl groups?

When you upgrade it asks you to accept the defaults one of which is edge but does give you the option to change it. I believe when you do a clean install it still does the browser choice thing but that was just something I read on a forum so not definite. How does Apple get away with it on iOS where you literally cannot change your default apps or even swap out the apps on the bottom bar to make your favs easier to access?

Any nintendo users in the EU, if you log in to your club nintendo account on their website it will ask you to link your NNID (they are semi connected already, so don't think, "I already did that") it will give you 750 stars. That's a decent chunk more than you get from games, which don't have stars any more so this may be your last chance to get enough stars to make a purchase from the catalogue.

I struggle to get excited by the bundles nowadays. Not sure if it's the combo of games most of which i haven't even heard of or frequency they put them out.

Did you beat the average, Dean?

For all the people that complain about the release rate of virtual console games I just read this on facebook: so... you may be right, lol.

Love actually is the worst film ever made. All richard Curtis's films have the same immersion breaking style - the acting is super hammy and unnatural and the scripts are not at all how anyone would ever talk. Everything about the plots is all very contrived. They all just seems like a bad student play and Love actually is the acme of this.

I may need to give Zoolander another watch then.

I never understood the zoolander love. I don't imagine the sequel will be clearing up the mystery

I have seen no alphabears posts on tumblr, and I don't really use Twitter. It was more a joke about it sounding like dominant hairy men. I guess it didn't hit the mark...

Can't help thinking alphabears sounds more like a tumblr I'd follow.

It doesn't work on my iPad (safari) nor Edge. It does work on Chrome on laptop and android. So not sure what's going on. Glad I got to see it though!

it says invalid source for me.

The show's main actress (the young blonde one that talks first) is Scottish but it's a soft western Scottish accent not a strong/stereotypical one. the most pronounced other ones are North East England accents most notable the dark haired girl looking in the mirror and the guy saying 'I need to know what Murray is up to' near the end. Like a Newcastle accent but there are a lot of similar ones around there that I wouldn't be able to distinguish.

Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition. A few people in a facebook gaming group I'm in were raving about it. I spotted it for cheap (£12) so a few more people bought it and also loved it. It's supposed to be a bit puzzle questy, which I loved. There a free (with IAP) version on Google Play for anyone interested though it's not compatible with my phone so I don't know if it's tablet only or just that my phone is pants.

something to do with my touchpad means it keeps randomly performing the 'back' action so you can imagine how frustrating that is if you're doing well and it pops itself back to the title screen. Mind you in the tablet version I keep pressing the split button by accident which is only slightly less annoying

Anyone been playing Agar.io? It's a browser game but it's on mobile now too. I was wondering what everone's high score is. Mine's about 7,400. It's pretty addictive but sometimes seems frustratingly random, like I'm sure the split sizes don't always seem right. The other game I'm playing is seabeard, it is sort of fun but I' re got to the point now where everything takes a lot of time if you don't pay any money which I won't. If you could just buy the game for a one off fee to make the money gathering quicker I would but it' sine of those that nickel and dime you. E.g. Buy 5,000 coins for £x but they would only last for one or two challenges so if you don't want it to become a slog fest you would be pumping serious money in so I will be getting to the point soon where I just stop playing which is a shame.

What do you call an indecisive zombie? Hesitant evil.

Anyone watch Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell? Just got around to finishing it now and it was very good. A lot of great acting and just the right mix of drama and fantasy, and at least to begin light hearted moments though it got increasingly dark as the series went on, that descent was well paced and fitted well with the story. Based on a book which people cannot praise highly enough either so I may have a look at that.

how long usually is it between an announcement of a console and its release? If NX is revealed next E3 is a Oct/Nov 2016 release unrealistic? As if the NX is going to be in 2017 it seems unimaginable we won't get Zelda on Wii U winter 2016 Edit: In Nintendo's recently announced quarterly results, their supplementary info lists Zelda as a Wii U title with a release date TBD. To my mind that would mean at least that it is coming to both consoles if not exclusively to Wii U, else they would have just put "upcoming Zelda title, release TBD", surely? Mind you I've been burned before with Japanese companies out right lying as apparently it's expected over there not (borderline) fraudulent as it is here?

wow, everyone is being very reasonable about the miiverse redesign. I've had a quick look and it seems very usable to me and since people are only saying they hate it and not why, I don't know whether just to put it down to people not liking change.

ah, my unicorn would be not making an absolute tit of myself by exposing my ignorance quite so frequently.

is unicorn a typo or is that what you fly over the UK on when GOH is in the business jet?
