Nice one Lirlond, good for you buddy.
All going to plan it should be new job, new city, new peeps, can't fucking wait.
Ask me again next week.
Aww yeah boooiiii!

We'll hang out Sploat! I can come round and fix your electrical mishaps and stuff.
See I agree with you in spirit, but I'm too caught up in football fever around these parts after we beat Man U last night. We're going to Wembley!
Ask me again next week.
Just need to break out of my shell really. I've said it, Tash has said it, few other friends have said it amongst others.
If this continues we'll have to make some sort of 2014 - Year of BritGAF logo. On that note my year's had a great start as well, not as good as others here but I'm actually happy in January. If this continues I should either be in University this year or at least getting out of Devon.
Fuck. Can't imagine how that'd feel. A football in the face is bad enough.

Do you rent a room in his house, and is your ps4 in the living room? If so it's out of order but fair game if it's in the general living area. I suggest keeping it in your room when you're not there.

Never thought of it like that, I was imagining they'd let themselves into his flat/room. That would be super fucked up. If it's in a communal space then I'd say it's fair game though.
I rent a room in a shared house. I have the smallest room in the house and am unable to get a TV and PS4 in there so I asked if I could set it up in the living room. He agreed and I said if he ever wanted a go, then ask me and he can go ahead. Now fair enough, I wasn't around when he got back in but still, it's a bit rude to just assume he can go ahead and play it.
Nah, it's like I said, if he gives me a heads up he's gonna have a blast on it, I wouldn't mind. I'm more than happy for any of the other tenants to have a go on it providing they let me know or at least have the decency to ask.
I really don't want to go down the road of having to lock it in my room when I go out but I might have to.

I lived with this weird Christian guy in my first year at Uni, one morning I came downstairs to play some PS3 (mine was also in the living room) and there was just an empty table. I started to go nuts thinking we'd been burgled. Went upstairs to ask the guy if he knew anything about it and he's in his bed, with my PS3 on his desk, playing FIFA (he didn't own a PS3 and I didnt own FIFA, he bought it to play on my PS3)
I was pretty annoyed so I asked him why the hell my PS3 was up there. He said it was cold in the living room.
Fuck that guy, he was really weird.

For various work related reasons I've had a fairly crappy day, but in all fairness I shouldn't really be complaining about lost invoices for 800 dollars and people in Israel taking holidays and Anonymous DDOSing my company but anyway I have an anecdote.
I decided to make a sandwich. There was only a small amount of mustard in the tube so had to use slightly more pressure than is normal to extract this, mistakenly I pushed too hard and launched Dijon across my shirt in messy cumshot fashion. As I was in the kitchen I removed my shirt to run under the tap while swearing profusely at my own stupidity. I then realised I was being watched from outside by a dogwalker who had probably heard my profanities from outside, as I looked up and met their gaze nakedly from my kitchen the close to boiling hot water from the tap arced across my shirt onto my torso running down and burning all it passed. By this time I'm waving a shirt round my head swearing at myself while a bemused old woman stares through the window sadly at my insane dancing.
Also, I burnt the sausages.

So what you're saying is the PS4 is just a rehash of the PS3, including the jokes.

Lol 8bit, this bit was beautiful:
"as I looked up and met their gaze nakedly from my kitchen", such evoke...
daps, that guy was taking the piss, that's really weird.
I just leave my xbox downstairs, pats is invariably playing the FIFA 14 demo for the 1000th time when I get in from work.
Maybe he should go and buy himself a copy eh?

So some good came of it then? Love me some burnt sausages.
Mane, I really fancy having a barbeque now.

Well you don't need to set it up in your room but maybe just keep it in there when you're not using it?
Edit: doh should've kept reading. It's not ideal but it's either that or let them get on with it.
Edit edit: 8bit that was a beautiful story. Sorry you've had a bad day.
Again, I don't mind him - or any of the other tenants - playing it as long as they ask me beforehand. I'm just annoyed he didn't ask me before playing it. I don't know, maybe I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill.
That would be weird, what if you came in hand wanted to play it? Although, is there only one TV? what if they want to watch that?
Grab a small screen, a tiny table from Ikea and get that shit in your room imho.

No it's your stuff and you specified he should ask first. The problem is if they just start using it whenever without asking, and something happens to it, you won't know who did it.
Maybe just casually mention if they could let you know when they want to play that would be cool.

It's a bit rude sure, but it's only a bit rude. In general I'd favour the approach of chatting to him about the game rather than moaning about him playing it - better for social interaction. Besides, if you don't moan chances are he will get embarrassed and apologise before you have to say anything. One up to you without any effort expended.
Yes and no. You asked that he ask your permission which he didn't do, so I can understand the annoyance. On the other hand, if he's treating your stuff with care, it's probably not worth the aggravation. If he'd done something like leaving discs lying around having not bothered to put them back in their cases, I'd certainly be wound up.
Look at it as a good thing as you now have a clear decision point. You can either:
- Leave it where it is, making peace with the communal usage.
- Put it in your room when it's not in use.
On an unrelated note, Thursday night = best TV night. Undateables (which, though I do often find funny, is more endearing than anything else) and Weekly Wipe back to back.
Nah, the TV in the living room is mine too (I bought my 55" with me) but they each have TVs in their rooms. And the landlord has a PS3 in his room for use with his son. I would have the PS4 and TV in my room if I had space for it, but it's literally a box. I have room for my bed and a wardrobe and not much else. I'll just try and casually bring it up sometime and maybe just ask them to ask me if it's cool to play it, I wouldn't mind.

It's all relative cyanide. If he's sitting hammering it for hours at a time, I wouldn't be cool with it simply for the wear and tear, especially with those flaky launch models.
But if he was just showing the kid for a few minutes because he was all excited to see it then whatever.
If he's an avid gamer, I'd probably keep it in your room.
If it was just this one time, I wouldn't worry about it.

I like not living with other people. Bloke not included. Never house shared, never will. Don't think I could to be honest, far too precious about my stuff!

What, don't you want people to know you own one?
It's shameful but it's not that shameful
Nah, to be fair, he's always pretty good with my stuff. If he had been leaving discs lying around or his kid had gotten his sticky fingers all over my controller then I'd royally kick off but, no, it's all in good nick.
Once I'm back in work, I'm gonna save up for a place of my own. No more house shares for me, I want a place where I can just leave my stuff where I want it and not worry about it.
I'm like that, but I learned to deal with it when my shit kept going missing when I was in uni halls.
Everyone in the house knows I'm one of them videogame nerds. If they didn't, my speakers would make them aware. The day 3D World came out, my housemate neglected to tell me to turn it down because he 'liked the music'.
Cool guy tbh.

I think I would go crazy living entirely by myself.
I have questionable standards of hygiene which rapidly decline when I'm depressed. Without anyone to cast judgement on my mess the house would become a shithole of biblical proportions. There are things I've had to do to cover my tracks before leaving a past house that I'll probably take to the grave. I say probably, because in retrospect they are funny but not funny enough that I'd sacrifice my dignity for.

It has it's pros and cons. I don't really mind the lads using my stuff, they take care of it and put it back were it belongs, all that jazz. And there is always some banter of some description going on. The cheaper rent and bills is pretty sweet too!
But yeah, it can be a pain in the arse, the usual bullshit of lazy bastards not doing their bit and certain habits that start to grate. But I've got it pretty good here to be fair, pats is a wicked cook, lee is good crack and glen pretty much just keeps himself to himself.
The house is pretty nice too, plenty of space and nicely decorated for the most part. The area is a bit rough but it's also pretty quiet. I will miss living here when I move out.
Yeah, you've gotta keep them jameaters away from your expensive shit.
Same here. I'll be ok with house sharing with friends or living with a partner. But I'd be too paranoid at first if living with people I didn't know or didn't know that much.
This is part of the reason why. I let a friend borrow Final Fantasy 8 once. The condition it came back in was terrible.
Hell, I don't let my little girl play her Wii U or my PS4 until her hands have been scrubbed with numerous baby wipes. I'm very, very strict when it comes to that sort of shit. This is why I need my own place.

On the BritGAF 2014 success bonanza, my promotion comes through end of this month. Perfect job money/hours wise, shame about the rest but a job is a job.
Congrats to Lirlond and TetraxShards!
As for the weekend, it is my daughters birthday. She loves superhero stuff, probably because I watch it so we are having a superhero theme birthday... for her.... not me... its hers. Got an Avengers cake bought, an Iron Man figure that will go on top and getting a rabbit... hutch has arrived. Picking him up Saturday before the party. Then Sunday we are going to hamleys and ideally only going to get some kind of plastic dinosaur, since she loves them but want her to pick it out.
I am broke as fuck, doesn't help that the Mrs used my credit card either and got a huge bill this month. Was. Not. Happy.
Last season was a bit of an abortion but the main guy for the show has come back so should be better now. Still S1 and S2 were untouchable, the paintball episodes were too good. Great to see BritGAF is on board.
Big Bang Theory? Yeaaaah... I thought I might like it as I saw a few image meme thingys posted which were kinda funny. Worst 'comedy' I have watched. Abed wipes the floor with all of them on his own. Magnitude shits all over them with one 'pop'.

That's maybe where you need to loosen up a bit Cyanide. Perhaps clean the console afterwards (if needed, and if so surreptitiously) rather than the girl beforehand - it's all too easy to pass on unwarranted anxieties to other people, especially young 'uns.

Congrats on the promotion!
This sounds awesome. I love Hamleys, spent many a happy hour browsing that place.
Haha, me wiping her hands beforehand is nothing. As much as I love her mother, she's a complete OCD nut. Everything in her house is spotless and cleaned up within seconds of it occurring. She also does a lot of tapping and knocking on various objects around the house. My wiping of my little girls hands will do nothing, haha.

Sounds like a sitcom in the making ...
I probably made it sound far worse than it actually is. I find it kind of cute, her little OCD things. Maybe that's because I've been with her and have grown used to it, I don't know.
Just been told by a girl from California that I am 'most certainly one of the most good looking guys she has seen' and that my facial hair is, apparently, on point. I didn't know what that meant so I Googled it and it apparently means almost God-like. I'm going to bed in a pretty happy mood.

Back at yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
I know the conversation has moved on, but this weekend I am pampering, hair appointment tomorrow AM, gonna get gel nails done, buy lots of smelly things, may even have a facial. Thought it was about time I stopped looking like a hobbit! Really looking forward to it.....
Oh and lots of blurays to watch. The Malick convo the other day made me get Tree of Life. I hope it doesn't make me fall asleep again.
Ok. I've said my bit, as you were!

This sounds like an awesome weekend, nothing quite like spoiling yourself once in a while! Enjoy.
I didn't ever bother with Tree of Life because I thought the trailer looked dull so you'll have to let me know if it's worth the effort.
