Avoid mainstream GAF as much as possible. It's worse than a fat bird in a steampunk corset.

Good. Immediately apply for housing assistance and council tax benefit once you move in, too. Will make your money stretch further.

What do you mean by Mainstream GAF?


Cheers for the advice :3

After powder snow fall yesterday (which is perfect for building stuff) today it's all lovely blue skies. Just need the ice to go now.

Still quite a lot of snow down here only in the grassy areas... little bit of sleet today but no signs it'll snow...


I want some blue skies damnit..

does anyone know how to value custom made PCs? need to sell mine.

What's the spec and age of the parts...?

Every other part of GAF that isn't BritGAF or UK politics GAF.

Also, RIP Michael Winner.

fuck that, i mean i have stayed in community mostly recently because the topic changes withint the threads i post... (Drunk thread and here)

But I get that there are threads that most Brits should stay clear of...


gaming laptops scare me, the good ones are bloody expensive and you're much more likely to break one (Obviously)

The GameCube is so hipster. It had Acclaim not make games for it before they went out of business it was cool

And then Midway dropped it because Dr. Muto of all things sold badly.
Later the Dixon group dropped it.

The Vita and Wii U have nothing on this tragic system.

As long as you had a copy of Melee and a couple of controllers, you could brave it out. It's what I did.

I had no troubles, GC was my go to system for multiplat games until I got a Xbox and was finally free of the tiny memory cards.

It was my primary console for the whole generation. I only got a PS2 when the rumblings of the next generation were approaching (or maybe the 360 was already out by then.)

My one and only purchase from Lik Sang was one of those large capacity cards.

And if that's a first generation Intel Core 2 Duo iMac I wouldn't touch one with a bargepole now. I've got one and the graphics card is fucked and of course Apple won't do anything about it.

I bought a Gamecube for £40 brand new when shops were trying to offload their stock. Good times.

Kind of wish I bought a white model at the time, but I didn't have money to spare just to buy another colour.

One thing GameCube did right that no console has repeated. Came out day one in purple.

Yep, same here, but I only got mine in late 2003, so I spent time catching up with the awesome early years of the console, plus games like Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime 2 and Spider-Man 2 that I just played constantly. Oh, and the Zelda Collector's Edition disk. Ocarina of Time was revolutionary for me.

Well before the GCN I had been stuck with the SNES throughout the PSX/N64 years so being my first 3D system was a revelation (don't worry, I played the N64 plenty at friends' houses).

Funnily enough I played OoT fully (played a bit before on the N64 back in the day) after beating the WindWaker and found it kind of boring. I think my expectations were too high and I was rushing through. Bought the 3DS release with a clear mind and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I will give you an unopened packet of Haribo Goldbears and pay for shipping.
 
Guys this new Joy Formidable album is pretty good. Not sure if it's as good as the first one, but it seems more consistent. "Little Blimp" is a cracker.

edit: oh wow, it's on the Most Wanted soundtrack. LISTEN TO THIS SHIT

I only heard of them as I was checking newest albums for 2013, and am excited to hear the album. Don't often see a female lead guitarist and singer. Plus, they're Wesh, so that's extra points. Really like "Whirring" and "This Ladder Is Ours".

Want to listen to Dutch Uncles' album too. "Nometo" has got this really kooky feel to it because of the timing.
 
This damn snow has ruined my trip to Ikea 3 times now, and their delivery is a Facking rip off. £35 for a 150cm desk and 4 legs! What.
