Anyone recommend a good program to read the weapon and amour spreadsheets for DIM . Can't use a PDF because the format is different

If you have Microsoft PowerPoint, you can import the Excel file as a table... Either that or Word, and import the Excel file as a table. Or if you don't have those you could use Microsoft Outlook and import the Excel file as a table.

I'm pretty sure there's something I'm forgetting...

Last i heard of the Rossi lad he was getting the switch but Eddie Rockets has ate into his switch fund :P

I have a Wii and Wii U that basically never get played - if I had any real interest in playing the new Zelda game I would just dust off the Wii U and play it on that. I just don't see any value in the Switch at the moment - doesn't have the games on launch to sell it, imo, and Nintendo's recent history with third parties would have me shying away from a swtich too. Even if EA and the like do jump on board, they games will likely be better on either of the other two consoles (PS4 and XboxOne) that I already own.

They fooled me on the Wii and Wii U, they ain't getting me this time!

Saving my March gaming money for Andromeda.

Yup, have a blue and red one ordered with Zelda, a carry case and the charging grip in GameStop. Nearly have it paid off.

Fyi, there will apparently only be 2000 units available here on launch day. Good to see Nintendo getting supply and demand right for once:rolleyes::pac:

AbusesToilets · 20-02-2017 02:52PM

I'll prob get one for the kids primarily, there is a distinct lack of games with local multiplayer for the PS4 that are suitable for kids. Might pick one up for myself depending on what games it has.

Generic Dreadhead · 20-02-2017 03:49PM

Local Multi-player is awesome though

Pity the only Launch proper game is Zelda, but shortly after that will come Mario Kart Deluxe and shortly after that Splatoon 2.

I've always felt that the Wii U was value if you only bought the main 5-7 1st party games. Cause at least you know those will be Fun, Complete, Full games.

Kimbot · 20-02-2017 03:56PM

Wasnt someone (I think Totz) saying last night a batch of Switches were robbed and theres now a crap storm going on over it??

Yeah, that was in the US. Someone bought one of the stolen units and put videos up of the UI, he returned it to Nintendo upon being notified that it was stolen.

Super Bomberman R is also
a launch title, while not a console shifter 8 player local Bomberman is great craic.

Yeah but he was saying they (Nintendo) were stopping preorder bonuses or something because of it.

Haven't heard anything about that. Heard that all the stolen units were recovered and the perpetrators were arrested.

Bit harsh to pull preorder bonuses over the actions of a couple of people in a distribution centre.

There was talk of them cancelling all preorders made through whatever retail chain the batch was stolen from but I don't think it's happening now since they've already identified the staff responsible and they've been sacked / arrested

Pretty fcuking dumb of them to steal and try to sell a load of easilly traceable consoles 2 weeks before launch and with no games available

Am thinking of getting this

Looks pretty cool. Lets you download and install your own emulators and you can use any USB or Bluetooth controller on it.

I'm just here to make this an even 667 posts in Destiny.

Leave Marvel comics out of it.

Got to see Logan this evening in the Savoy. Holy crap is that movie awesome, can't see it getting anything less than an 18s cert though.

Recently bought a load of old Resident Evil games for the PS4. Really having difficulty with the control systems, everything just feels so awkward (movement and aiming). Movement now in third person games is so intuitive but back in the day it was really really clunky, like really clunky.
Played all these games with no issue years ago but now having problems readjusting

Generic Dreadhead · 24-02-2017 11:20AM

Cause way back when, we only had 1 controller movement and graphics were worse so fixed camera was necessary, the issue with fixed camera complicates things cause in one given screen, Up may not mean Forward. Hence why up was always "move in the direction you are facing" and not "move to the north part of the screen

gimli2112 · 24-02-2017 11:23AM

ah I'm sure I can get used to it again, it's just a matter of how high my level of frustration is when my patience finally runs out.

Mitch Connor · 24-02-2017 11:38AM

Was watching Prepare to Try - with the IGN lads playing through a Resi remaster on the PC. It was damned funny watching them play through it and talk crap while doing so (I recommend you stick give it a go - they have a Resi one and a Dark Souls one). Seeing the fella struggle with the fixed camera/movement issue was a good laugh, going from running away to running towards a zombie classic resi shenanigans.

Anyone getting Zero Dawn? Looks pretty tasty, be a nice tune up ahead of the new Mass Effect.

Mitch Connor · 24-02-2017 12:07PM

I will probably wait til it comes down in price. have heard it is great but saving my pennies for Mass Effect.

gimli2112 · 24-02-2017 12:08PM

Trying to avoid it as if I get caught up in the hype I'll definitely purchase it. Will probably pick it up at some point. Lot of side quests/capture outposts/scavaging like Far Cry apparently

Generic Dreadhead · 24-02-2017 12:11PM

Anyone give a flying f**k about doing some GTA Online Heists with me?
