Man what's taking the fedex guy sooo long? I hate waiting for stuff to arrive:/

I need to play a bit of Mario and get it out of my system asap so I can focus on studying!

WTF How? I've played for 40 hours so far and only done about 15% of the game I reckon.
 
Gaz, Brendan Brewer should have his own twitter account.

I'm pretty sure @brendanbrewer is available. @SevenOutOfTen is already taken by the looks of it.

Oh thanks for the idea! Just registered it. No idea what to do with it yet...

Today I was both amazed and disheartened by the manuals included with some games that arrived...

Here we see the death of the great Nintendo manual... This is the entirity of the disappointing SM3DL manual (well, it does have a reverse side, but it's just all the legal info):

It does have a software manual as well, but I've always loved my Nintendo manuals and this is definitely the worst I've ever seen.

On the other side of the scale, though, this also arrived:

I totally did not expect a map in the standard edition of the game. Good work Bethesda! If only more games could include special stuff like this. The manual is also 21 pages of full colour, something which is very rare to see these days.

Wow that's terrible, they normally make great manuals for Mario games =[

Phew, I haven't posted in there.

But I do smell Penn State whenever I hear people talking about how wonderful Peter Roebuck was.

That's a bit unfair. There's nothing to suggest Roebuck was a pedophile.
 

VOOK

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.

How much longer do you need to wait, mate?

If I had the game today, I could sit and play it all weekend and have a review up Monday/Tuesday before the AU release. Zelda, we (Vooks) will not be able to review in time.

This isn't some 'I deserve the game before everyone else', it's that I want to review the game before our review becomes even more pointless.

It's out here Thursday, unless you know the street date breaks.

In other news Microsoft has started to spam me shit multiple times a day, even after unsubbing. Their Twitter Social Media person hasn't responded to anything in a few days.

That's funny, I don't get any emails from them except when my non-auto-renewing subscription is due.

HAHA wow... So what do you think of the game then :)

Is there more stuff for you to do even though you have all of the achievements?

On a scale of 1 to best game ever I'd say it's best game ever.

There's still plenty of sidequests I haven't done, plus exploring dungeons etc.

I already have the most powerful weapon/armor in the game (Legendary Deadric) which I crafted and I have destruction spells at master level.

Apparently Gametraders are selling import copies? I wonder if this'll lead to a situation similar to OoT3D.

I assume nobody has seen an Aus version of SS out in the wild yet? I'm curious as to if it'll have the shiny cover like US or the matte (boring) cover like EU.

Awesome, I'm just totally enthralled by this game, I never fast travel or anything and I'm taking my time exploring. I've only been to 3 of the major cities and only 4-5 little villages. There is just so much to do. I think I'll be playing Skyrim for literally hundreds of hours, it may well be one of my favourite games ever.

Stores are selling, just none around here.

Possibly, but stores don't have their OoT or SS stock yet so there's nothing to break yet.

Hopefully we get the shiny version.

I never fast travel either, awesome stuff always happens on my way back, and sometimes I get lost and find awesome random shit. GOTY!

Skyrim coming out at a time when I've got no time for videogames and then actually turning out to be really good kinda sucks. I've told myself I'm not going to buy it until I've finished Deus Ex:HR which I pre ordered and haven't even started.

Wait, I thought we all WANTED the new SSX to get rid of the bro shooter look and go back to the OTT sillyness?

We did, just without the dubstep.

The only good thing about massive headaches is how fucking awesome you feel once they're gone.

Will I crack Skyrim open this weekend? Probably not. I want to get a week ahead on the comics, and the new book collection needs to be finished by the end of November if I'm going to make it in time for April's Supanova. Damn it all :/
