it's free money so you've not really lost anything, though I suppose it costs more than $30, you should at least get the free credit and use on smaller games as there's no point in wasting it.

the offer of $30 eshop credit when you register Fire Emblem and SMT IV is still on, which you could use to buy Animal Crossing. It works well as a download as you can just load it up and play 5 mins when you want a break from your more serious games.

Lennox Lewis doesn't have a British accent. At least I don't think so, I think you can definitely hear the mix of Canadian, Jamaican and British.

There's a wonderful 101 demo up today. edit: here the new Nintendo Direct for it:

I worry they're not reducing the price because they think it will sell at that price when they release mario world/kart etc. That may (big may) have been true if this was happening at launch but in the face of XO and PS4 and even the Wii, it's just not a compelling offer.

i did read he genuinely thinks he's making good films, but you never know what to believe, do you?

I guess the water's still not safe even though the sharks have been sucked out of it.

the NoE president Satoru Shibata did a much better job of announcing it on a side note, gifsoup is a painful experience.

You're right - I can't believe they haven't released a link to the past in time for link between world, that seems to be missing a trick. I thought the Animal Crossing Plaza on Wii U looked cute, and will definitely have a look at it. and it was great to see layton vs pheonix finally confirmed. I don't think it was their worst one by far. They do seem to have more often than they have news to fill them though.

There's free DLC for soul sacrifice out today for anyone that has the game. 8 quests and 2 bosses.

I've never seen a printer come with a cable, even ones that aren't wireless. Guess that's a UK thing.

mine went from printing wirelessly fine, to having to power it down and back on again for each session (kind of defeating the purpose), to not working wirelessly at all. I effing hate them

I'm sure tumblr will find a way to get over it. http://fuckyeahpcaphair.tumblr.com/

Straight cut in my mind is: "your membership is about to expire, it is set to auto renew on xx/xx/xxxx" "your membership is about to expire, turn on automatic renewal so you don't have to worry about it" When you pay/apply a code it could popup a request offering to turn on auto renewal, if they wanted to be more crafty they could have a pre-ticked box for it on the payment page. It should not be turned on by default, and only mentioned in some obscure place at the bottom of a mile of text. Ideally, they wouldn't do anything and just send you an email extolling the virtues of auto renewal.

Daniel Radcliffe may be British, but he is not an actor. He's so stilted he always draws you out of the programme as you're so aware he's acting. He'd nearly be as bad as Christopher Ecclestone.

ah revenge.

the mail they sent telling me my subscription is about to expire (rather than one 3 or 12 months ago) actually implied autorenewal was off. and even if it is in the original email, if they are taking money off you they should be clear and up front about it. I don't think they are.

the black actor wouldn't only be there for the sake of it though? There are plenty of great black actors that would be a good fit depending on what sort of mood you're going for. Idris elba would certainly have the world weary aspect down to a tea and Richard Ayoade would be a logical "cool geek" choice, as just the two main actors I've heard mentioned. I could see why you could argue his gender shouldn't change, from a logic-of-the-show point of view and would be a change just for the sake of it (though it's not like they haven't stretched believability to breaking point before) but there is nothing in the world to say of the doctor that shouldn't be black. Reverse discrimination would be putting someone undeserving there because they're black or only considering black actors, there's no reason to assume that's what happened if we end up with a black doctor.

I can't believe it's even legal to turn something like that on without telling you. What happened to consumer protection.

so your old one is already gone? That means you lost your games It's so effing ess when you can see the games in your nintendo account and your new console is linked to it. Nintendo really do suck donkey balls in some regards. I lost excite bike 3D cos they hadn't even released the transfer update when I had to swap a faulty 3DS.

hmmm, if Zoe Ball is doing the live reveal show, maybe the next Doctor is Johnny Ball. I know that's not exactly likely but I would like an older doctor.

If I'd paid by credit card and it had pre-ticked an autorenew box that's one thing. I used a prepaid voucher code and there was no mention of autorenew anywhere. They should send you an email saying your subscription is about to expire but don't worry it'll autorenew. they shouldn't send you an email implying you don't have autorenew on. It's put a sour note on a service I otherwise enjoy. TME, I would normally have done that but I've not had time to, the email meant I didn't worry about it.

you need both consoles and an internet connection to transfer games. you can transfer a maximum of 5 times. It is a quite slow process but not too convoluted.
