I was wondering the same thing.  Rum and Coke bender?

Hi all! So much going on! Not too much time to be online or even game all that much... even on portables... not even Puzzle and Dragons!

I hope you're all well!  <3

Same to you!

Lol I thought those were crazy FFVII remake pics for a second.

I've started playing Shantae and the pirate's Curse on WiiU yesterday.  Only played the first level, but so far I'm tremendously enjoying it.  The game just brings back so many childhood memories with the lovely pixel art.  I was surprised to see how heavily pixelated it was though, as I had understood they had upgraded the visuals for the console release.  Seems like they only added HD artwork for the conversations.  Glad I didn't pay full price for it, as €17 seems a bit steep for what is in essence a digital only 3DS game.

Where's Hamster been?

I was wondering that myself today at work.

^Well right-click the taskbar, select properties and then auto-hide and see if that helps. Not the best, but at least something.

Check with the maker of your graphics card as to their status with Windows 10, since that seems to be the bigeest issue with you going to W10.

As for antivirus, why do you have antivirus at all? You can avoid use of it with Windows Defender (free in W7 I think).

Left4Dead 2 $5 on Steam. Worth it?

I wanted it but when I saw how pixellated it was in the trailer it was obvious they hadn't done it up nicely like Mighty Switch Force 1.

It's true: See below. PS4 and XBO are useless at this point, but Nintendo did not do themselves many favors with their hardware. It's their software that edges them to the front of the gen:

"Nintendo: Wii U GamePad Is The Only Real Innovation This Console Cycle, But We Didn't Showcase It Well Enough"

If they had gone capacitive over responsive, better battery and different name (Nintendo Point, or womething similar) then they could have done well.  I also thin (to extend the hand wringing) that the single gamepad per console option confused the multi-child environment market too much.

Having said that, is there anything they could have done to stop the conversion of minors to Apple and Minecraft (prob not).

I should have said: "Moffit says" as oppossed to Nintendo says, these regional vice presidents do sometimes talk wank.

Boo to the rise of download codes in bundles during this gen. BOO!

I saw an Xbone with the Halo Collection and Fifa somethig-or-other for €338.  I was considering this, as I could sell off the copy of Fifa that came with the console.  Well apparently not, because they're no real games, they're download codes!  Not only are hardware manufacturers too cheap to put in an actual copy of the game these days, they're also forcing you to clog up your HDD on day one.  Boo, once more.

I was sort of considering a Last of Us bundle a few months back, only to find out it was a download. Put me off.

I got a PS3 bundle with Last of Us and Gran Turismo 6.  Both came on boxed discs.  Only difference to retail was the "Not for sale individually" in place of the barcode.
