Good man, a Vita is pretty much the best gaming purchase you can make right now.

Make sure you get PS+ too!

Figured the deal on Zavvi was worth it. £120 for a 3G/Wifi Vita, 16GB memory card and the kids Mega pack (10 games) sounds like a good deal to me.

Really? I've been meaning to get Hotline Miami for ages. Will buy! (I have Spelunky on XBLA, never touched it. :/)

Fine fine games right there. Sine Mora looks so lush, and SSD is a Housemarque schmup, nuff said.

I saw an advert in GAME at the weekend:

"Get the new Vita model for just £99 when you trade in (various things, one of which was an OG Vita.)"

You mean I can downgrade to an inferior bit of hardware for just £99? What's the catch?


Edit: Hotline Miami is crossbuy right? I don't have my Vita anymore.

Both Crossbuy, my pricing is a little out and maybe influenced by Playstation+ prices though :

Hotline Miami (Full Game) £2.16

Spelunky (Full Game) £4.31

I've followed a bunch of you on twitter now (@stx), I got my highest score last week when Dara O'Briain retweeted me and I got 40 points.

I forgot how annoying the UI is, Facebook is like so much simpler, but i might stick at it this time
 
Their logic was probably "It looks nice" or something. Of course they don't expect stuff like what's happened in Dawlish and Cornwall to happen.

I heard that they're considering re-opening an old inland line around Dartmouth (or somewhere like that).

Call me paranoid when it comes to construction/engineering, but the mere idea seems nuts to me. Then again some of the worlds coolest architecture wouldn't exist if people took my approach!

Just ordered a Vita.


Love me Dave, love me!

What did you get with it? I can't bloody wait for mine to arrive!

Sorry. Just seen so many people spread that false myth.

Haha it's something that definitely winds people up on here!

Maturity, bitches.
I don't understand what you are meat to say, i get chatting and stuff but just posting your live journal in the hope someone will retweet you? Is that the point?
Just respond to other people. If you really don't have anything to say there's really no need to force it.

I opened a Twitter account about a year ago, I've used it for about 5 minutes cumulatively, I find it thoroughly bewildering. Tweets seem to consist of a random collection of letters, numbers and symbols, all helpfully coloured in garish shades of blue and red.

It's such an ugly layout. I genuinely don't know how to use it properly. I get the appeal, it's about as direct as a news feed gets, but I'm surprised it's so popular with how migraine-inducing the aesthetic is.

I'll stop being a luddite and get a handle on it, I should take advantage of it more.

I originally got an account because I had one friend who kept jumping from one site to another and I had to keep in contact with him (he even changes email address every couple of months). So yeah, for a brief period I used Twitter to send DMs to him. Then he jumped ship and I basically forgot about it.

Then I found it was quite good for following BBC News. Get a brief gander at latest headlines.
Now my feed is filled with GAFers who follow me, but I don't know what they expect from me since I only tweet once in a blue moon. I suppose that does mean my tweet quality is through the roof.

I like twitter as a firehose of news and nonsense, don't care so much for facebook as my family et al. don't get my crappy jokes. (Not do my tweety friends, but with twitter I don't have to try and explain to my dad why I think the phrase flappy doge coin is funny.)

Well Twitter has the advantage of not being where my friends are (well non GAF friends) so I can post stupid jokes on it knowing my reputation will not be tarnished. In fact I just saw that last 10 years on FB video they generate for everyone and how depressing it is to see me go from social university person to social recluse. At least on Twitter everyone's a loser.

A fun thing to do is click on one of the stupid trending topics and just watch as the insanity unfolds in front of you.

See my family use Facebook as well, which is part of the reason I don't use it as much. There's also the fact that I can never be bothered to make statuses, play the games or whatever. Twitter's just more to the point.

hey guys

Selling my PS4. £350 (or special GAF discount of £330). It's boxed, as new. I just haven't used the sodding thing, and my life is about to be consumed by Dark Souls II anyway.

I'm in Bournemouth. If anyone wants it, let me know.

I'll give you a guitar for it
 
Probably aren't going to be the greatest games but still a good deal

You kidding? Wipeout and LBP? Many hours of fun to be had there! Half tempted to buy one of those 10 game + memory card packs, I could make most of the money back from selling the card off!

First ports of call for me are Tearaway on sale next week, Hotline Miami, and TWD season 1. Demo of Toukiden too!

I'll give you a phone with Flappy Bird on it.

In all seriousness, I would take you up on the offer but money issues (plus the fact that there's nothing on it that screams "Buy me now!") are stopping me.

You're selling your second hand PS4 for the same price I can buy a brand new one?

Yeah, good luck with that.

Ever notice how NinjaBoi's avatar resembles that one bit with Misty where she kust glances smugly to her side? I wonder if he'll change it and make us think it's the same person.

I wouldn't have a Pokemanz as an avatar though, the singer from a tweeny, emo pop punk band is more than adequate self-flagellation thanks very much!
selling?

Literally just sold it to a guy on facebook who's picking it up tomorrow before work

lol
For £350? Does he fancy you or something?

Glad you got it sold, more fool him I guess! I just assumed you'd knock a bit more off the price being pre-owned, tight arse. ;) £250-£300 and I may have bought it myself.

I literally love Bristol/ Bath and the South West. Am looking for any excuse to go live back that way when I can.

I just moved back here after living in Amsterdam for a few years. Would do literally anything to go back there. But if I have to be in the UK again, I guess it isn't a bad place to be. I'd rather be further south though, Devon/Cornwall coast would be nice.

Never too late to the BritGAF party. Welcome new person, may your time here be superb.

If you ever come by Dawlish, say hi to me. It's quite lonely down here.

You can't get them new whenever you want yet.
 
Welcome, new face! Let's see yer beard then.

Hmm.. I'm wary of posting a pic of myself. I worry that It'll end up as some shitty meme on 9gag or something with stupid cause/effect statements on it.

I'll post one eventually, just need to brush the crumbs out of it. I'm mid way through cultivating a handlebar moustache. If the wife approves, it could become a permanent fixture!

Is it weird that I'm hesitant to sext my girlfriend? Like, what's the craic with that? I've never really done it before and it's just, what pleasure do either of us really gain by texting smut?

If you'd asked me a couple of months ago I would have agreed - I always found it really cringe-inducing and never saw the point.

I've come around to it recently. For me it's kind of about being sexually honest & open with your partner and it's essentially a less intimidating way to sexually explore together without committing to whatever you're suggesting as much as if you suggested it in the bedroom. If you're feeling something, if you want something or whatever, you can sext away, enjoy the fantasy together and it means once you're together again, whenever that is, you can take that energy and have real fun with it.

I dunno, I don't think I'm particularly normal so this could just be me and, just my 2c.

Sexting is about being daring. It can be exciting to send and read, which is pretty much the desired feeling. It makes more sense to do when you're starting out with a new girlfriend since you're still discovering things about each other.

Give it a go. You might be better at it than you think, you've posted some things here that utterly repulsed me so you may be gifted.
