Example is the worst man. He really is a poor man's Calvin Harris. Just awful cheesy rapping over recycled 90's trance riffs.
I'm not saying Calvin is incredible or anything, but I find most of his tracks to be a cut above the usual poppy dance garbage. He generally his a nice little twist on his melodies, a little spark.
I quite like the Ellie Goulding one, and Spectrum with Florence Welch was pretty cool too. He produces good pop music.

I really appreciate how fun Calvin Harris' tracks are, especially his earlier non-compilation stuff. Though I still like most of his recent tracks too.
On a different note, I'm really getting back into handheld gaming now. Been giving my DS (and NSMB) a lot of love. Unfortunately I still suck at it, but it's fun non the less. Definitely want a 3DS soon.

Nah. Jill is too cool for us, Meadows hates us and noffs was banned and ain't been seen since.
I did get a bit suspic of some of the new juniors but it all amounted to nothing, I'm just naturally suspic of everyone.
I miss Jill
I'm surprised Meadows didn't stick around, to be honest. I always felt like the guy could be OK if only he weren't so spiky.

Yo Britgaf, greetings from Scotland. Dunno how long we'll be together, but I felt like I might as well join in the fun all the same

Stick around, we're a fun bunch in here and I'm sure the ScotGaffers would love some company!
Bruce fucking Springsteen with jtourettes today.
Bring on the good times
Goddamn TLOU. Just had my first "set piece", I guess, which I'm not too happy about (bad memories of Uncharted 3), but if they stay rare then it will be tolerable.

(Summer spoilers)
When you get caught in Bill's rope snare trap and have to upside-down shoot the infected. Died three times thanks to the clickers. I probably should have upgraded my weapon-sway, but listening distance seemed far more effective for 99% of situations. This is why I dislike setpiece - they break the rules of a game you've been playing by, making the skills and decisions you've been making for the last five hours meaningless. Still, now I have a shotgun, and bow and arrow, so all is well with the world.
Same scene spoilers
I always go for clickers first when it a mixed group infected ignore others you can always mash square to get rid of them but clickers fuck you up unless saved all pills to upgrade clicker defence like i did. I failed that once due to not seeing a clicker after that was fine just look for cornflake head then fire

The question of course is /where/ in Scotland ?
I've just passed through that bit on a second playthrough, and pretty much did what Hysten said. I don't remember any other parts of the game quite as annoying as that.
Part of my problem was that I had at the time the revolver selected, and I couldn't swap it out for the 9mm. Low rate of fire and limited ammo capacity, when I'm already upside down and swaying in a game that has low-accuracy built into its game design (I don't mind this - much like I don't mind Mirrors Edge's inaccurate guns - it's appropriate) just meant for a clusterfuck. Could not pop off the headshots I wanted!
OH ALSO, like five minutes before that bit:
The infected runner inside the building near the nail bombs - the one that is hammering on the door from the inside, but when you get close it hides inside to jump-scare you later. SUCH BULLSHIT. He's magically invisible to your focused hearing, even when you can hear him stomping up the stairs not two metres away from you. Very poor and cheap of Naughty Dog, that bit, and all for a dumb scare you knew was coming anyway.

Shortbread and jam, the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.
I had simply multi-seed bread with utterly butterly. Sometimes you forget how tasty the simple things are.

GalCiv Complete Pack
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
Poker Night 1
50% off Orcs Must Die 2 (expires 7th July)

Please PM me if interested.
Thanks very much to Duo014 and Mr.Sam who both helped out with this!
Yeah the promo ends at like 23:59 tonight I believe.
Arse.
So my PS3 has been broken for years - if it gets too hot, the disc drive stops working. Digital games are fine, but something like, say, The Last Of Us, can be tricky during the Summer. Usually, the first clue is a sound effect not playing when it should have. The moment I notice this I make sure the auto-save has kicked in, then turn the machine off for a while to cool down.
Except this time I got hit by the auto-save not working bug. Just lost 14 minutes of a perfect stealth run through some enemies on my first time through an area. So annoyed

Scottish borders, so more or less England. I think we're even a tory constituency ffs
My condolences.
I'm jealous of the cider, I'm on medication at the moment that has an interaction with alcohol so I've been booze free since like mid-May.

Definitely jelly of the sun. Day 12355944 of overcast weather here.
Yo Musha, dearest, where do you get your tattoos done? I ask because they're exceptionally not shit and I was thinking of having a tattoo done and would also like it to be a not shit one.
Edit:
Spoiler tagged in case anyone is incredibly spoiler sensitive; it's just weapon spoilers:
I finished Last of Us yesterday actually. My main complaint would be that it rests too heavily on cutscenes to tell the story. Considering the lengths Naughty Dog go to in order to make the in-game environments and animations so convincing, it's particularly disappointing to have them slap in a five minute cutscene whenever they want to try to be 'cinematic' or whatever.

You're going to want to look after that bow and arrow, use it sparingly. It seems that if you fire it when there's less slack in the string you have a better chance of the arrow not breaking an you can go and collect the arrow. In an area with clickers and regular zombies, I like to take out the regulars with a bow first so they don't see me and cause a commotion. Then I can take out clickers at my leisure.

Hell yes. I was just thinking of reinstalling it and either seeing if my old save would update correctly to all the changes and if not just destroying it scorched earth style and starting over in a new world.
Would be cool to have a BritGAF server.

Game is pretty hard, I went in with an idea to build a warehouse and ended up running around in the dark getting chased of scary exploding things making terrifying noises.
I'm afraid guys
Fuckin' casuals
the YOGSCAST guys make it look so easy building generators with pipes n shit leading into chests. I'm heading back in, Hopefully i can build a shed to spend the night in before i step things up a notch..
Never played the NES Asterix game but the music in the SNES game was great, used to play it p.much just to listen to the title screen:
