If anyone's starting Metroid Prime Trilogy - and you're a completionist - start your game with one of these saves: http://www.gamefaqs.com/wii/960329-metroid-prime-trilogy/saves (choose one with "15 friend credits")

Apparently some of the unlockable extras require "friend credits" to buy, and these are unavailable now, due to them relying on some kind of online bullshit that has since been shut down. (source: http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Friend_Credit ) These saves should be empty apart from the friends credits you'll need if you want to unlock everything.

To get them on to your Wii U: copy the .bin file to your Wii SD card in the folder private/wii/title/r3mp/ and rename it to data.bin. On your Wii U, enter Wii mode, and in the SD data management utility move the save game from the SD card to the internal memory.

This is what I don't get. The trade map shows coffee flowing from a system to mine but when I get there no coffee is being sold. What am I missing with the trade map?

If you're at the start of the trade route and there's no coffee, try different stations in the system if they have different types - probably look for agricultural ones.

Steam's suggestion engine is working as well as ever

There's a beta of Red Faction: Guerrilla available on Steam, with the hateful GFWL removed (via another forum). Right click the game -> properties -> Betas and the beta access key is:

nordicrfgbeta

This lets you select the "publicbeta". I've noticed a couple of bugs so far, so you may want to hold off until it's officially released, but it's good to see that older games are getting GFWL stripped out of them.

Just finished the story missions on this, what a superb game. Only about 42% complete though, I can see myself going back to complete more of the side quests.

But I do think this scene in the tutorial was a bit much:

Here's some more positivity to come out of the whole depressing affair, posted by a game dev on another forum:

At my studio, the Sarkeesian videos have really shaken things up, and made us incredibly lucid as to how offensive game scripts and content could be. A lot of the developers here simply weren't aware of how ingrained and potentially offensive the tropes were. This resulted in us actually re-writing the script for our current game to soften these aspects.

I know of about 4-5 other projects in the industry where the exact same thing has happened from talking to people working on them.

These videos have been incredibly effective.

The main problem was, most developers were simply unaware of the problem... creating offensive content simply because that's the way it's always been done.

Which both completely validates the need for the Tropes videos in the first place, and shows how effective they've been.

GFWL is such a great system that it doesn't even let me play RF:Guerilla. Any solutions?

(during the THQ intro the GFWL pop-up causes it to crash)

I played it earlier this week using this: http://gtaforums.com/topic/388658-relgtaiv-xliveless/ - copy the .dll into the game folder, and it bypasses the GFWL nonsense. (Although I didn't have it crashing in the intro, I just couldn't sign in)
