Cheaper to just take off the steering wheel each time.

Fire Emblem seems epic. I might get Path of Radiance. Anyways, Metroid is what Halo could be if Bungie had the same capacity to make classic games as Nintendo do.

Because it's easier to unbolt and rebolt stuff on my car than fit a modern security system.

My car's gonna need a security system of some sort...I was considering just taking the wheel off as I get out. That'ss show 'em, especially as they'll need a special boss to mount any wheel to the steering column.

Or just unplug the distributor. I love having such an easy car to modify.

Quick release steering wheels, FTW. Like in racecars, man...
Not exactly quick-release, but easy to unbolt from the steering column. I might end up just taking the starter motor out, see what they'd do then. Especially as my rear bumper doesn't have a hole for the turn-over handle.

I really hope they make a version of it compatible with the Wii U...especially if I'm playing Wii games like SSBB on it.

^agreed^

Also, I've never played Fire Emblem or Metroid (regrettably)...which titles do you suggest, madman?

...and as for control scheme, nearly every game allows you to CHANGE IT :O [/shockhorror], so yeah...deal with it. Also, I've found that the Gamecube controller is the best I've ever used, but the Wiimote comes a tied second with the Xbox controller. Sometimes, you just need to accept or adapt to these things.

It doesn't help that I hate every platformer involving Mario, I'm not a fan of Mario Kart, and I CBA to try Zelda, let alone buy a console just for it.

Oh, and apparently, the Wii U hardware will be the same as the current gen 360/PS3. If so, this is another huge fail.

Nintendo are going bust, trust me. It will sell very poorly outside the Nintendo fanbase because the Wii was so terrible.
Because the Wii totally didn't colossally outsell all of its competitors.
Also, ever tried any of the games on the Wii that are console exclusive that aren't Zelda/Mario? The Wii has Metroid Prime which far outscores many huge name competitor console games, Gamecube compatibility (so that's Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, Killer 7, Beyond Good and Evil, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, ect. in there), Virtual Console (that's Castlevania, Super Metroid, Link To The Past, Sin And Punishment, Ocarina Of Time, Majora's Mask, Super Mario 64, Pilotwings, Paper Mario, Sonic The Hedgehog 1/2/3, Gradius, Super Mario Bros 1/2/3, Metroid, Starfox 64/Lylat Wars, Wave Race 64, 1080 Snowboarding, Ninja Gaiden, Super Mario RPG, Super Castlevania, R-Type, ect. down), and has a bunch of games like No More Heroes, Madworld, Sin And Punishment 2, The Last Story, Xenoblade Chronicles, ect, which overall just leaves the Wii as a console with much more value for money, less carbon copy games (sure, Mini Game Compilations are common, but it's hit the PS3 when it got Move and the Xbox when it got Kinect, and the Wii works far better than those) which a general lack of the generic FPS you tend to get on Xbox or PS3, and it has far more legendary games available to fight off the PS3's PS1 Classics and lack of PS2 compatibility, as well as the Xbox's arcade.
As for the Wii U, if it pulls the same trick as the Wii and has a tone of back-compatibility, as well as some good 1st and 2nd party games, it's got extremely strong chances.
The only problem I have with the Wii U at this point is the lack of Gamecube controller compatability. This may be because they are producing an alternative wireless version to use with the Wii U, or perhaps they're adding Gamecube games to the Wii U virtual console...or maybe they feel that if people want to play Gamecube games they'll already have a Wii or a Gamecube, and so won't need the back-compat.
Also, the Super Mario titles are getting annoyingly repetitive, and I've noticed this beginning to happen with LoZ titles. They throw the same main characters, enemies, worlds, etc. in, and expect people to stick with it. I'm somewhat glad for the third-party titles coming to the Wii U. It might break this up a bit.

The Wii U will do fine. Here's why:
-Nintendo Exclusives

-It comes out at least a year ahead of Sony and Microsoft's next offerings

-Offers an experience you can't get anywhere else

-Backwards compatible with the highly successful Wii and Wii accessories

It may not do well with the teenagers who are too focussed on trying to seem more "adult", but it'll do well with families, non-gamers, and us older people who don't care about indulging our inner child.
That's what I (mostly) said. To be fair, they could've given it a more imaginitive name rather than naming it as a Wii 'sequel', but other than that it has all the components required to make a good console.

I'm not so sure about that. The Wii U has the innovative control interface, as well as the more hardcore third-party games that the Wii lacked. Against the other current consoles, it's an improvement, but not neceessarily better. But, since Microsoft won't realistically release another console until about 2015, and Sony aren't releasing one yet, it'll be the next big 'sale-craze', presuming people are a bit more open-minded about it.

Finally, something demonstrating a reasonable view of Nintendo. Well found, frezal.

Nintendo seem to be trying to be the first to make these innovative control interface ideas...That's the only thing they can really do at the moment, since their game development is down the crapper.

Use outside of the station as a meeting point?
Not exactly ideal, especially if we're gonna be Skyping people.

Get a helicopter and land on the roof.

Anyways, from the ones I've looked at in the immediate vicinity to the station, all of them are rubbish or have no parking. So, yeah...any other ideas, people?

If we're coming from the East (M4), then when you turn off the M4 onto the M32, get off at junction 3, and you can South (A4320), then continue to the A420. The station is on that road. I'm gonna look for any pubs or anything near that station, as a meeting point.

Fair enough. Hopefully I can learn to drive and pass my driving test by then.

Also, whereabouts in Bristol would such a meeting be? Perhaps near a train station would make it more convenient for those who can't drive.
