Sorry yeah I should have been clearer, yeah they're not going away forever. I just need to drop one of them to make room for a (for now) new permanent fixture in the roster.

Clive the idea of Amanda going to Occupy Ohio is awesome. I'm gonna run with it and it'll probably turn out completely different :p

I thought you hated the stick figures though? :)

Austrian student Max Schrems sits with 1222 pages worth of his personal data that Facebook provided to him.


1222 pages of data on a CD. It included chats he had deleted more than a year ago, "pokes" dating back to 2008, invitations to which he had never responded, let alone attended, and hundreds of other details.

Haha, well done holy.

Chicks will ask you about your fine taste in art and you can give them an amazing backstory to that piece.

Never seen that but it can't be that good if it's axed after 4 shows :p
... 90 episodes and two spin-offs. Going by our discussions last week which proved that more is always better, it's more than twice as good as Jersey Shore because it has more than twice the number of episodes (if including the spin-offs).

Also it has Playboy bunnies.

Awesome mate. Where are you going to put that, over the toilet?
:lol Above the toilet does seem the logical place, my only concern is it gets quite damp in there due to the shower, above the breakfast counter is another good place, when I move to another place it's going in the hallway
 
WTF is this!

The Avenger is an external adapter that houses the existing controller, helping to improve your situational awareness, accuracy, agility, and reaction time. The Avenger allows for rapid, fluid movements between individual buttons and analogue sticks. Equipped with a stabilizer stand, customizable levers, high-precision tension straps, hair-trigger capabilities, and sensitivity adjusters, the Avenger can be fine-tuned like an instrument. The new version of the Avenger includes a new jet-black rubberized finish, reinforced parts & tubing, stronger lever pins, adhesive button extenders, and improved skis that allow the user to adjust the straps in various ways.


50 bucks for this? Looks like a controller for the disabled.

Oh yes, nice show because of all the boobies. I remember it very clearly now.

No love for the amazing race?

I wanted to apply for the next AU season, turns out you have to be a resident for at least 2 years. :(
I like the Amazing Race too but I noticed they put in a lot of waiting times for the lead couples, so they don't get too far ahead. Like organizing a ferry or a plane 8 hours after everyone starts or arrives at the airport. So even if one team dominates it means nothing for the overall race since the show will always let the crappier teams catch up.

Renegade Ops is awesome fun, worth the wait.

Plus playing as Gordon and summoning antlions <3
Oh, it's finally fucking out? Any reason for the delay?

If I hadn't pre-ordered it, I'd not buy it at all in protest over the fucking retarded delay for the PC version.

PS. Wow @ that Vita news. With the 3DS bombing, the Vita requiring (at least) an additional $50 outlay (likely more if you want a decent size) and the batteries running flat on my Donkey Kong 3 Game & Watch, I guess the future of handheld gaming for me is on my phone.

*sigh* I can't believe I'm watching the "Waiting for Opponent" Daytona screen with the little bouncing cars PERFECTLY REPLICATED on my own TV. Amazing.

Modern technology, fuck yeah.

haha vita fail, steve jobs was right when he said Sony was doomed


I don't see it even close to being a fail. What portable console does not require a memory card to save games, etc? You would be stupid to buy a Vita and not buy a memory card with it.

The joke is on jobs, with iphone you can't even use a memory card.

3DS has onboard memory doesn't it?

its a fail if you don't change with the times..... flash memory is as cheap as sand. ( which is jobs criticism of Sony)

requiring a card to even play a game is messed up.
 
Long day at work. Now to pack for the weekend away. So looking forward to staying in a massive resort and pretending to be at least decently well off.

Also this thread is too long and I can't be fucked going back and reading it. Hopefully everyone was talking about how fucked that IGN review is.

No mega-quote tonight sorry (Planet Jase with the save!). Also do you still want to meet up Shaneus?

My PSPGo comes with 16 gig of memory and I bought a mem card for it for 30 bucks to add another 16 gig. How hard is it for these guys to just use a standard format like SD card and have some internal memory. Heck even the DSi that.
Isn't the Vita using proprietary cards so you have to buy official Sony ones?
Huge fuck up. Bundle the Vita with a small card at the very least. Common fucking sense. Shot in the foot etc.

Heh, saw that this morning. Stealing just makes the song even worse:p

I'm not that fussed about similarities in music though. People need to get inspiration from somewhere.

"It’s not who you steal from, it’s how you steal’ or something like that.
My favourite one is "Good Artists Borrow, Great Artists Steal"

Master chef is shit.

Iron Chef is where its at.

BASS BATTLE!
Why do they pick to fight Sakai? He is a monster. The replacement Iron Chef Japan, Whatsisname was crap. I think even Chainman Kaga beat him once. So did both of the commentators.

So I'm occasionally dry wretching and so so thirsty. Thing is, I feel fine except when I think about food, so I'm not sure if that's a symptom or a psychosomatic thingy.
Pregnant. You're probably pregnant.

Congrats.

My only problem with the Amazing Race is the God damn music and general pace of the show.

The Music! is! Always! A! long! STRING! of! EXCITED! DRAMATIC! TENSE! NOTES! THAT! MAKE! IT! HARD! TO! FOLLOW! WHAT'S! OHMYGODGOINGON!!

Plus the fact that no shot - not a single one - lasts for more than two seconds now. I find it really disconcerting.

And man, I used to ADORE this show. So much so that when my wife worked on it for a couple of days, I was gutted to find out I could never be a contestant afterward :(
My problem with the Amazing Race is that it used to be a challenge. I remember the physical challenges used to be punishing at times and the clues to the next destination used to be clues. These days the clues read like this "Go to the Grand Canyon." Fuck me that's a real head scratcher, that is. I wonder what that could mean.

I remember seeing some of the early ones where teams were left walking around a city trying to work out "this golden symbol brings light to the modern hawk" damn well meant.

To make you feel like an absolute c**t, that's what it was originally designed for.

Seriously. I'm fairly certain that I watched the "making of" video about this a years or so ago and it was deigned for a disabled person. And you just made fun of the disabled person. Because you have no feelings. Hell will be waiting.

http://miami.cbslocal.com/2011/04/15/inventive-teacher-gives-disabled-student-control/

If you watch the official making of videos on youtube they cover this too.

Bad person. Everyone point and hiss at the bad person.

Bad, bad person.
 
The news is not even official yet, and according to the source, it's up to the developers to decide if they want to use internal or external memory for storage/saving.

A bigger point of concern is the lack of tv-out.
