changing down the music and SFX and maxing voice is the first thing I always do when I load a game for the first time. I'm forever rewinding scenes of films/TV because I can't make out what someone is saying and it's the reason I have to have subtitles on games even though I find them really distracting. there was actually a bit of a we-demand-answers in the UK last year about the audio balance of TV programmes with all the music and effects drowning out dialogue. the main culprit that kicked off the fuss was a science programme. I guess it was supposed to conjure the awe and majesty of the universe but you ended up getting frustrated as you were missing the information that was actually meant to be inspiring you.

I had £10 of free vouchers so it's worked out well for me. what's cool is every time Nintendo gave you a free game it's eshop value counted toward your total about half of that free money has come from free games so not bad!

The Premium service is ending on the last day of this year. I know Nintendo always said it was limited time only but I kind of thought they were covering their back and it would go on until the next console came out. I'd still need to spend about £20 it get my next voucher, which is not very likely at all to happen. seems like a waste of the £30 I've spent since my last voucher even though it was free money they were giving out. Anyway, just a reminder to check if you have any free vouchers due or are just a short hop away from one. check here.

i wanted to buy/play it yesterday but I couldn't get on PSN and now I don't know when I'll get a chance which is frustrating, but I'm looking forward to it. AC is still my favourite non-nintendo franchise.

it looks like bayonetta in the link costume I bought Freedom cry. i wanted to play it since it came out but now the standalone is cheaper than the DLC version and I don't have to fish out my AC IV disc I thought I'd bite. Can't decide what to do with the rest of my wallet though. Tearaway is really cheap but it really seems like the sort of game that will end up free on plus, my other option is Ys: Memories of Celceta. I've never played a Ys game before but something is stopping me from taking the plunge on it and I can't work out what. oh, and i bought Child of Light. I was waiting for a price drop on Wii U and it plummeted so yay.

because one is committed by america, and the other against it.

I couldn't get the Sony Entertainment Network website to load and the news said PSN was still down so I didn't even try to go on the console, so that could work?
-
now if only I could actually get on PSN to buy anything. They'd better extend their offers to give people a chance to actually but the them. I guess I didn't buy them, but for Christmas I got Fantasy Life and super mario 3d world kind of scared to start fantasy life as there seem like a lot of choices to make at the start and I'm not sure how stuck with them you are.

those agile guards that stab you are the very worst thing in gaming.

how could you not after that ringing endorsement.

I really enjoyed Frozen but can't help feeling it would have been better with traditional animation. They still can't make dresses - which were in practically every scene - move convincingly and I found it really distracting and I think the reindeer lost a lot of his charm in 3D, it seems less friendly somehow.
-
Hopefully be getting it after Christmas - if Santa doesn't drop it down my chimney. Got to stop mentioning games as present ideas to my parents when I'm itching to play them. I'm a bit blah about games at the moment, but I know if I get this I will have an enjoyable binge at least and hopefully reignite my desire to play other games.
-
If MS will let me spend the money I have in my account I will give it a go. Not having much luck so far. Need to try and find out when that expires too as I'm guessing they won't bother to remind me nearer the time.

If I've never played a MGS game is ground zeroes a bad pace to start? Iwn not going to go out of my way to pay other games so if it is a bad place to start I just won't play any

can't work out how to embed the video
-
you could just buy them at your local thrift store for $5, FDS, so it's not so bad.
-
Maybe I've been watching too many Christmas movies and was hoping for a Christmas miracle. I'll still hope to see a post by FDS in Post Your Purchases thread for the biggest turkey in the butcher's window.

I'm not sure you're truly sorry. I've never seen it in a charity shop. pretty much the only games I see on a regular basis are snakes and ladders, top trumps, chess sets and things like that. I wouldn't be surprised to see monopoly or cluedo/clue. It would be a matter of luck to see something like 7 wonders though so again, it would not be worth deliberately going to look for it in a charity shop. You keep saying it's popular, but it's still a niche boardgame. e.g. it's 3,757th bestselling item in toys and games category on Amazon UK. Monopoly is 16th and Cluedo is 216th. That's a long way further down. Maybe you've got a load of nerds living near you but that doesn't mean every store is stocked high with games like that worldwide.

How do you measure a Lego figure's shoe size?
-
that's a nice bargain if you happen to see it, but to go out scouring your local charity shops looking for it would have cost more in time than you'd save in money.

BBC is not exactly Korean state television it's one of the most trusted news sources in the world- it's not government run, it's funded by something similar to a tax the only government involvement is deciding how much that 'tax' should be not how it's spent. There are a lot of systems in place to maintain its neutrality and besides all that why would you think a profit driven agency is more likely to be neutral?

Isn't there a black hole at the centre of every galaxy? That doesn't seem like something you'd want to head toward.

I prefer the waggle to the janky point to aim they were doing with the pad. At least with waggle pretty much any movement gets what you want. With the new system you seem to end up pointing at the ceiling or half way behind you before you get it where you want on the screen. The had that problem on the video where it wasn't moving enough on screen. It will help that epona auto avoids trees while you concentrate on shooting. Sounding a bit negative there but I actually am really looking forward to this as I love Zelda games even skyward sword
