    I can do that too! Probably.

    You can, I have all the emulators and a nice selection of roms on my iPhone and iPad. Touch screen controls are poo though and I dont always have a Wiimote in my pocket :o

    Indeed, although touch-screen controls work spectacularly well when implemented cleverly, for example with shooters like Cave stuff or Infinity Gene.

    Since I live out in the backend of nowhere (basically anywhere outside Dublin :P) I see foxes all the time and they are very intelligent. I saw only literally laugh at my sister after she tried to scare it away, its sniggered at her just like a person would. They know you cant catch them if you run after them and they just act like smart little bastards the whole time.

    Wouldn't leave him scraps anyway, because its a wild animal designed to be able to catch its own food. Plus maybe he wants to eat your face :D

    This is one fox that will never, ever be cool,

    Kinda feel bad for the guy now. Tempted to leave him some scraps. Can you tame a wild fox???
    Only leave scraps if you don't mind him coming back, my uncle kept a tamed fox for years, he used to stay out with the dog and he said he was great. In the end I think something killed him and afaik he's stuffed and displayed in a case with other stuffed animals, I only saw him like that since it was before my time.

    Just pre-ordered the premium Wii U with ZombiU on amazon UK.
    Even though I've pre-ordered, I'm not really that excited about it to be honest. Have they actually released the full specs for it yet?

    I feel no excitement or anticipation for the Wii HD yet...that 3DS launch just reminded me to give launch consoles a very wide berth. I'll await the inevitable Zelda Special Edition instead

    But think how excited you'll be when six months later they slash the price and make you an "ambassador":pac:

    I think it will be a wait and see purchase, once bitten twice shy and all that regarding Nintendo's pricing policy.

    Yeah, I'm only getting because of my condition, mustbuygadgetitis.
    But to be fair to it there are a lot of possibilities with the second screen on the controller.
    Hopefully it will get used for some really interesting things over the next few years and I cant wait to see what the hackers come up with for it.

    That type of thing never bothers me as its just the way it is. If you buy early you always take the risk of a price drop within a short period of time.
    I'm quite happy to pay the asking on these things to have them as soon as they come out (or as soon as I actually want them) so I can play with them and see how they are.
    I mean I buy stuff for my computer nearly every month and as soon as you've bought an upgrade it drops in price before the postman can even get it to you. I got a new graphics card the other week and its already about 80-100 cheaper now.
    That's just the way gadget chasing go :)

    But we have diplomatic immunity, right? Because I've been doing a lot of murders while under that assumption.
