Congrats!
I was in your shoes a couple weeks ago. And then my Wallet took the ultimate hit as I browsed the eStore, every day... :cool:
Joycons for me are fine for Zelda. I mainly use the Joycons as One in the included controller grip. I have however ordered one of these to hook up an XBox controller for the likes of Mario Kart...etc Mario Kart on the small individual Joycons, don't do it. I mean you can try, but its just gross. Its fine when using both as one whole controller though.
Ah that is nifty enough might grab that myself at some stage. was thinking about a wired one either ? Like the decals on them.
Hope I give my switch a good bit of time anyway, got red dead for xmas haha0 -
For the love of god, if you value the relationship don't do this.
Haha maybe I'll just play (OC2) with the sisters when I'm back home for crimbo. Less to lose there and we don't live togetherMr.Fantastic wrote: »Ah that is nifty enough might grab that myself at some stage. was thinking about a wired one either ? Like the decals on them.

Haha, you will have plenty to keep you entertained so! But yeah, wired solution is cheaper obviously, up to you though

Yeah, definetly try it next time No need to ask a seller if they would accept AddressPal, to them its just another address.
That used to be the case.
For example, Argos UK will cancel orders with a parcel motel, parcel wizard or address pal, address. Basically anything with a person identifier number such as APW xxxxxxxxx for address pal. But this is down to the person processing your order. Some will let it through and others won't.
I've been using all of these services for quiet a few years and in the last 6 months have had orders cancelled similar to Skerry.
Yeah I have gotten plenty too but the bigger companies are going to phase out supplying to those address's
I've had multiple lengthy conversations with a 'supervisor' after an order was cancelled and it was pretty clear to them that they would just cancel the moment they got to processing.
Reason being, their tracking ends when the parcel reaches the forwarding company. They have had a lot of people claiming they never received parcels and it is now identified as an insurance risk.
From a user point of view, we also have little protection when a parcel goes missing and unless you have checked the insured value, you could also be out of pocket. So it's worth checking the insurance cover they give you. In parcel motels product, you can take out extra for a set fee.
I've had more than one discussion on this with some companies and they said that they expect amazon will also phase it out in the future as they give a prime service to Ireland already.
Its a very grey area and it is Not just seen as "another address" to all suppliers.
No doubt the forwarding services will tweak their products but from speaking to argos uk, they will cancel orders immediately when they are at the processing stage and see a forwarding address identifier number.
Can't say I'd blame them as it would seem there are a minority of users exploiting the lack of full tracking from source to final destination.
There will be plenty of posts in different threads about cancelled orders and yeah some of us may get our orders from certain suppliers but enjoy the services in their current format, when you can as there are great savings from the UK at times
Im still going to continue to use them all, when I can, but you will see many suppliers refusing to take orders into the future.0 -

Anywayy.... Without getting too off track. The Switch ey. Nifty little device. :pac:
Anybody else have an addiction of browsing eStore for new games, rather than playing games which they still haven't completed... I was sat on my sofa last night, looking at whats on offer for a good 20 minutes. Also looking at my Demos, wishing I had the full versions. Maybe if I get myself banned on the eStore, I will finish all my games
Actually, another great idea. Uninstall all games except Zelda. That way I will eventually finish Zelda, and won't be arsed re-installing the other games. It's like I procasinate the big games with other games or by browsing the eStore. Getting in the Zone for Zelda is important. Because if you're in a rush or won't have a nice hour or two to play, then you can't appreciate such a game. This goes for all open world, large-scale games.

Just in case, use Archive instead of Delete when removing games0 -

Nothing like a bit of self praise for your own ideas :P but well done you!!
But staying on topic.....I think we are all guilty of having a regular browse on the Eshop for 'bargains'
and purchasing an awful lot for the back catalog.
The Eshop comparison site is quite good though as you can keep yourself informed on the price changes if you are looking for something in particular.
For anyone that doesnt use it, here is the link to one of them

Thankfully 'overseas' purchasing isnt as convoluted as on XBL and PSN so I guess we should be grateful for small mercies there.
As long as there are digital games, we will all have significant back logs and the more platforms you plays on, the larger the back catalogs get At least the SD and HD suppliers are making a few bob from us too :pac:
We could look at running some multiplayer stuff over the Christmas break, with players on here.
Any interest lads?
Currently play with a good few lads from here on PSN and XBL but we could coordinate a little from here.
@Ciderman, Banjo, Mr E, etc. :
Would there be any interest in using something like Discord or similar for us ninty lads to have a bit of fun?
They work well for certain games on PS and the likes

Yes, was it bad that I didn't complete Mario Odyssey and then bought Zelda whilst it was on sale and started playing it. Not sure how much of Mario I have left, nor do I want to know, to me that's a spoiler. But I've played a good few worlds in it already. Also, Stardew Valley I've done two days (in game), and really want to play it, but god damn, If I get into that, then I won't progress in Zelda. #firstworldproblems
I have genuiely thought about setting up a schedule for myself. Zelda Mondays, Mario Tuesdays, Stardew Wednesdays, Zelda Thursdays, Fridays Whichever.The Eshop comparison site is quite good though as you can keep yourself informed on the price changes if you are looking for something in particular.

Thanks for this. I saw that, but was like, meh too much effort. Need to see how you setup the Switch on another account...We should look at running some multiplayer stuff over the Christmas break, with players on here.

I just can't get into multiplayer stuff at all.
So I just avoid it, enough single player content on the Switch to keep me going!
I see what you mean. Its a lot more effort to go into a room with Discord than it is to just chill on the couch with a Single Player game. Such is the selling point of The Switch, a Portable Games Console. I'm a PC gamer and haven't sat in my gaming room since I got The Switch. I love sitting on the couch whilst submerged in the Kingdom of Hyrule with abosulte sh**e TV on in the background.
Plus my girlfriend sees me more, now that I play games beside her, instead of in my man cave 0 -
