  • Not sure if these would be unexpectedly high values as most people know they fetch a little bit, but I have all my old N64 games still boxed with most of the original inserts too. The one I know most would be Conkers Bad Fur Day, that always seems to fetch a nice price.

    A couple of my Funko Pop figures are possibly worth a few hundred but nothing more.

    And I have the full set of Hobbit and Lord of the Rings Lego sets which I know go for a bit over the original price.


  • I’ve seen people say that it’s being done over two parts as they’ve added quite a bit more from the book to this and it’s not just an adaptation of the stage show. I’d still prefer films like this to just be one film (you can push 3 hours) rather than splitting them up.

    Wicked is my absolute favourite and I’ve been looking forward to this since I first heard about it. I do hope this has even half the success as the stage musical.


  • Two. Disney+ and WWE Network (UK so it’s still standalone). Always been a Disney fan so it’s a no brainier for me to have access to all the films and shows so easily. And the UK version has Star included so there’s other films to randomly find too. WWE Network is still the only way to go about it here, £9.99 a month (still, it’s never increased) and that pretty much is half what you would pay for the PLE each month. Plus NXT is now only on there in the UK so more than enough to justify the price for me.

    Everything else I set sail for.


  • The information found in the patents has led to the presumption that a Nintendo Switch Mini, Switch Pocket, or Switch Micro handheld console is in the works. One focuses on button redistribution, with the home button and capture button being moved to the bottom of the device. Another patent goes further with button movement, placing the L, ZL, R, and ZR buttons in a line. Apparently, doing either of those things would produce a more compact Switch console (regular-sized model is currently US$290 on Amazon).

    In yet another filing, magnets are used to attach a cover to the rear during gaming or onto the display for protection, which would be ideal for a Switch model that may be transported loosely in the pocket (more so than the current Lite variant). There is also a patent for a new cooling system, which the leaker believes is headed to the Nintendo Switch 2 but could also be viable for a Switch Mini. Last but not least, there is a filing that pertains to housing screw placement that specifically states “there is room for improvement in the design of portable electronic devices from the viewpoint of miniaturization of portable electronic devices”.

    This is the main part to read. This is all based on a few patents that may not lead anywhere.







  • Met my current gf of 3+ years on OKCupid. Before that I had met up with maybe 3 matches. I wouldn’t have even called them dates as whist we chatted for a little bit it was just meeting up. Am still friends with a couple of people I met from there. But the majority of people would just either stop talking after a few messages or just never reply. I was also finding towards the later end of me using it just way too many scammer and bots. In the end I’d just mess with them if I could be bothered.


  • Well this is going to be an interesting one to watch what happens. Nintendo seem to have an idea of the story and direction but I’ve never felt you could translate a Zelda game faithfully to a single film. Maybe using an original story will mean a slightly different approach. But the games are all about exploration and dungeons. I don’t see how classic dungeons would work in film, but I could see the smaller BotW and TotK type dungeons working. But then I don’t see a film where the hero goes to 4 of them, fights a boss in each and then goes to fight another boss in Ganondorf to work as great film. Maybe something very different is needed that will fit the film media for a Zelda inspired film.
