Have they ever had any non-mario characters before? Toon zelda would be cool. you could have a deku leaf as a sail and if they could make the kart look like the the king of red lions boat I would flip. They could make a toon epona that handled like a motorbike. If they added new tracks based on hyrule locations and heavy character gorons and light lake hylia fish people etc that would add up to a decent dlc pack i would be happy to pay for. with them adding the mercedes car (which to me looks completely out of place) I can't think what direction they're headed though. i would download it a try î once but certainly but certainly wouldn't part with any cash for it. edit- holy heck. i cannot type on this tablet, sorry!

May be of interest to people who bought this on PC. Apparently it makes the game look better and improves frame rate. Someone who tried it says they went from high to ultra graphics and got higher frame rates. Can't make a Clucky link on mobile, sorry. http://m.pcgamer.com/uk/2014/06/16/watch-dogs-mod-aims-to-recreate-e3-2012-visual-effects-improve-performance/

ooh. hope it's still on sale - just need to work out if i bougĥt it for my xbox. Really need to get thing plugged back in. edit- is it definitely cross buy? I can't see where it says that.

I jumped the track in one of the rainbow road courses yesterday but it wasn't the shortcut mentioned above. No idea if I actually went ahead or back though so not necessarily useful but definitely possible! I forgot how frustrating Mario kart can be. Thought people had said blue shells were less of an issue this time but that doesn't seem the case to me. Eg.I finally got one of the speaker power ups drove 1.5 laps with it in first place started thinking I was about to win when I got hit by lightning which knocks the power up out of your hand and then immediately got hit by a blue shell. Grrr.

Yeah, I love all the styles they try out on Zelda. I was one of the rare breed that loved wind Waker's cell-shading right off the bat. Strange how everyone seems to love it now - there was a right furore when it was announced.

I don't think Nintendo is willing to spend the resources making highly detailed "realistic" graphics. I know they said the had one of their biggest teams ever working on this and it was only 50 or 60 people. There's indie teams nearly that big! So for a game that has a lot objects in it like Zelda will I don't think we'll get a realistic looking one again.

Wasn't it just people were pleased they could use the gcn controller rather than Wiimotes on brawl which was reasonable to be pleased about. But that has now somehow morphed into thinking gcn controllers are the best option, period.
-
I was thinking of getting earthbound but the remix games do look intriguing. I'm kind of hoping they'll be on offer at some point if you buy both.
-
MalH is correct. I set it up last night. It's fine for the money. The t100 is a lot nicer but over twice the price and definitely out of impulse purchase territory for me.
-
yeah, that's what i think doesn't make sense if it was just pre-apocalyptic graffiti it would be everywhere like it is now and it wouldn't bother me

You should get rid of the desk in your room if you don't use it - bedrooms are a lot more relaxing if they don't have work associated items in them.

I didn't really want super mario kart but it's price was knocked off MK8 when you bought both so was essentially free. I chose WWHD as my free game. I was thinking of getting wonderful 101, but I didn't enjoy the demo. I've been told that doesn't well represent the game so I will probably buy it if I see it cheap which is more likely than seeing WWHD cheap. Cool thing is that WW counts toward the Nintendo premium, (more than MK8 plus super MK together, in fact) so I now have £10 I can claim.

If the graffiti is supposed to be by one insane person I sort of don't mind if it is where someone was confined (e.g. a prison/asylum cell) as I can imagine that happening. When it's spread across an entire city it is just ridiculous as I can't help imagining this gibbering wreck scrawling something, then maintaining their frenzy as they walk half a mile (or scale a building to some inaccessible part) to write a bit more. If it not supposed to be by just one person it makes just as little sense - it's probably the sane survivors and if you're trying to escape an asylum or survive an apocalype, why take the time, and also draw attention to your position and the fact there is someone living here worth attacking?

I cannot believe I bought this. I bought the original nexus 7 when it came out but it had that screen lift problem so I returned it and have been unable to decide on a replacement since. I was just about to turn my laptop off to go to work yesterday, when I spotted it on an Amazon lightning deal. I only had time to looks at the pro/con list on 2 reviews. They were positive if not glowing at it's RRP, it was a lot cheaper than that . With Amazon prime it had shipped by the time I'd got back from work so I couldn't have a look around and cancel. I'm kind of glad I suppose: my own indecision was really starting to annoy me. I'm making myself not look for better deals, problems with it or alternatives etc. as I usually do after most major purchases and inevitably find bad news for myself. At any rate this will allow me to wait for a tablet I really want to come out and it's Windows so I can give it to my Mum and she'll be OK using it so it won't go to waste when I do upgrade. Do I sound like I've convinced myself yet?

I guess people should proceed with more caution than I thought but it was certainly still a great decision for me

This is something I would ignore if it was a one-off, but it has happened with several people so I'll ask in here for opinions. With more than one woman they've said their boyfriend would be uncomfortable if just the two of us went out together, and it's only to something like bingo or lunch, so not late nor somewhere that would be considered romantic for couples. To be perfectly honest, I think it's sad that they wouldn't trust their girlfriend with a straight man - it doesn't matter what he's like you should be able to trust your girlfriend. But I'm gay so what does the BF think is going to happen exactly?
-
that is not normal.

We have a British equivalent of that called Gogglebox and it is absolutely brilliant. edit: Actually just reading up about it seems People's couch was franchised from gogglebox so definitely similar though the US version looks a bit less down to earth. I love all the people on it except the Tapper family who are very loud. Look at the gay dude on the lefts face when his boyfriend says "we all like a bad boy". It's 12 seconds in. Classic.

I know it's not exactly cloud, but I noticed most of the games in the MS press conference mentioned dedicated servers. I didn't realise that was such a big selling point and anyway to me as it just sounds like you're running the risk of them being turned off sooner rather than later if the game's sales don't meet expectations or the sequel comes out

I'm surprised there's not more Hs at the end of words.

This isn't a request for help so much as a tip that's made a real difference to my phone. I changed it from the Dalvik runtime to Art. You tap "about phone" 5 times in settings to activate developer mode then it's one of the options in there. Your phone resets and recompiles your apps. Took about 5 mins in all and my phone runs so much better. Previously whenever I opened a semi-complicated web page my podcast player would stop and it hasn't done that once since and the whole thing seems generally snappier. They did warn as not everything is optimised for it yet there may be some stability issues but I haven't had any so I'd say definitely worth trying if your phone's not as fast as you would like.
-
looks cool. Can't believe I haven't thought to get an app like that before.
-
I'm guessing/hoping it will be on the actual show floor. That doesn't open until tomorrow does it? Certainly does seem weird though
-
I don't mind if you're being an awful, awful cheat on your predictions, I just thought I'd missed something. That kirby game looked ropey enough to be a 3DS game but was actually Wii U, so I don't know if that was it.
-
what was mentioned for 3DS other than Smash Brothers? Or was just that too much... I only finished watching it an hour ago and I can't think of anything else. Discounting the actual announcements, I much prefer Nintendo's pre-recorded style, it's much snappier and actually enjoyable to watch rather than the others where I just keep thinking "get a move on" but I guess it's not event-y enough for them. Sony's seemed to have a lot of technical problems but the audience seems keener there, but there was still a lot of "pause for applause" without any applause.
