I know, I'm kicking myself about it now. I came in and checked eBay, I could one shipped for 3 euro. Just have to be smarter in future.

Yep! I remember trying it when I found this out as a kid.
Love Sadowitz but have always been busy whenever he's done his Leicester Square theatre runs. Hero for doing shit on Jimmy Saville years ago too.
Sounds like he's living life right.

Gird your sensibilities and pray that you aren't in the front row. You're in for a hell of a ride, my friend.
Some interesting suggestions.
Thanks guys!
I'm not entirely sure to be honest.
I guess there's some hints of Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and Led Zeppelin in there.

I wish it was that simple. You know when you get a package and you sign the device, and it looks nothing like your signature? I fix those.

I'm in the middle but wish I was in the front row so something more memorable happens. If I was front row and got spat on, would play it off like in that Friends episode. Could I have been kissed like Adam Riches or fondled like Nick Helm?Gird your sensibilities and pray that you aren't in the front row. You're in for a hell of a ride, my friend.
Ah. The worst touch screens in the world. I've pretty much given up on writing my proper signature on those since it always comes out something like |\_____|\/\/\|___
Oh, and thanks you all for the birthday wishes yesterday.
My internet died on Friday night and was down for most of Saturday, so I thought I'd spend that time trying to finish up some of the games I recently started.
I didn't do that, instead I decided to play some Muramasa Rebirth since I'd remembered I got it free ages a go on PS+. This was my third attempt at the game, the first time on Wii I couldn't stand it, probably because for whatever reason it didn't like my GC controller (despite it supporting it), second was the US release of the the Vita version which I imported though mostly for the bag and the case which I still use. Like the game a bit more that time but was still sort of eh on it. Really enjoyed it this go through, got an ending with the first character, tried the second but fatigue started to set in by then, since the 2nd character is pretty much identical but they seem to level up much slower and their sword tree is full of long swords which aren't fun to use.
So I'm done with that but I still want to treat my eyes to gorgeous Vanillaware art so I've moved back on to Dragons Crown, love that game.

9 hours working in a supermarket is a cakewalk. I did a few 7 day weeks working 10 hour days when the One Stop I worked at got turned into a Tesco Express to help get new staff trained and get the store up & running.
Crazy days. I remember being knackered as fuck and hungover almost every day as one of the new managers kept taking me to the pub after work most nights for a 'wind down'
It always feels like ballache at the time, but just remember to appreciate it because one day you'll be nostalgic about it.
They've got me conditioned with 4-5 hour shifts usually though. The random 9 hour shift yesterday almost killed me. Sucks having two days in a row of such long hours (for me).

That's a pretty normal shift dude, try doing 8 hours Monday-Friday then another two 7 hour shifts on Friday and Saturday night.
You've got life easy sunshine!
You were lucky! We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.
Hi new person!
Certainly are. First day back at work today for me. Very heartening.
I really didn't enjoy Muramasa. I don't know if I was playing it wrong, but it felt really disjointed and shallow. It did look absolutely beautiful though.
I am looking forward to playing some more Bioshock tonight and seeing how the crazy carnival pans out. Also, a friend from work has said she'll be my Gears co op buddy. Hurray!

It is disjointed and shallow, you sort of, have to like, try and ignore that and just have fun with how flashy it is and be all "oooh, ahhh wow so pretty". Took me like, 5 hours to get an ending so it's not super long, just enough before I really couldn't be bothered any more. There's still loads for me to do but I think I'll just give it a rest until I'm in the mood for dumb combat. I think most of what Vanillware does is gash with Dragons Crown the exception, I just want them to make more of that with different settings lol.
edit: Higher difficulties might make it more interesting I guess but the controls don't really feel good enough for that to seem enjoyable.
Nine hours? My heart bleeds for you.

Pretty nice fella, though I'm generally more a fan of hi-tops and mid cuts. I want to get a pair of Nike Fly Tops:Mondays aren't that bad when you've got new shoes on.

I really want them in tan leather but they were a limited run and rare as hen's teeth. But look how cool!:
I literally just got a new pair of trainers for Christmas though, I'm up to 8 pairs now, I think I need to chill for a bit!

Games these days are made to be finished. For the most part even the highest difficulties are pretty easily beatable.
Now old games, and I am going back to cassette and early console days, those are a different story.
Time to invest in a Spectrum, C64 and Amiga!
Edit: And a fun meta game is getting them to load from cassette. Plus the loading times. That is real hardcore gaming.
I know it seems laughable to you guys, but we all had our hours cut months ago and only seemed to do 4-5 hour shifts, anything more than that was a random one-off.
We're all conditioned to those hours, so two 9 hour shifts in 2 days has knocked me. So happy to be off tomorrow.

Just realised I've worn the same pair of trainers for years.
NinjaBoiX

I couldn't be dealing with just one pair of trainers like, I need at least one pair for work and shit! I usually just use whichever pair are the oldest and most knackered and wear them day to day and keep the other pairs in rotation, that way I keep them in good knick and get to choose a pair that will go with whatever I'm wearing that day.
My current kickabout trainers are my red and white Backboard II's, it's a shame they're relegated to such a lowly status, they're damn nice shoes.

That's why you're The Official Swagalicious Bad Boy of the North... and I'm a grubby looking Mexican tramp. Honestly, I wouldn't know what to do with more than one pair, mate; I think my head would explode.
"DAAAAADDDD it's chewed up the tape AGAIN! Can we get a Nintendo? Pleeeeaaaasseeeee".
And the answer was always
"No. The games cost too much when we could just copy them using the stereo / use XCopy to copy the disks [if post 1991]."

I used to stare at all those colours. It was as if no time passed. If it didn't have the colours, I never knew if it had crashed or not. XD
Also, that Dawson track was well good.
Also also, you should look into Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. It's a more straight Japanese take on Medieval Fantasy (not so Dark as Souls) but with a more Character Action Game/Arcade style of fast paced combat with some ridiculously over the top spells. It's open world and there is a lot of walking about, but it's a very accomplished game. Not as tight as DS, but definitely worth a look.
Last night I completed a quest where I and a small army had to take down a Griffon nestled at the top of a very scary dark tower. You can climb on the bugger and go stab happy as it's flying about trying to fling you off. It was one of the most exciting boss battles I've played in a long time; probably since Shadow of the Colossus or DS, actually.

OK, that's a beautiful tag right there!
I dunno, it's just like choosing a t-shirt or whatever, you just pick a pair that would work with the outfit.
I just have too many clothes in general though, trainers, t-shirts and jackets are my thing. As I say, I've got 8 pairs of trainers, probably 50+ tees and a rack full of coats and jackets (about 20).
Which reminds me, I have a coat to collect from the tailors tonight, I'm having it tapered and cuffed. It was meant to be finished Friday but when I went in at the weekend he said "It's more work than I thought", I hope he hasn't fucked it up...

Them Leathers look sweet, they'll look even better worn in too. Better with age etc.
I'm not too fond on high tops like that though except the high blazers. Tend to just stick with Nike SB too.
What?!

i remember buying c64 games in boots. BOOTS of all places. each one cost me £3.99, which was a few weeks worth of hard pocket money graft.
every game was shit too.

I might check it out. I'd always assumed it was a JRPG or Dragon Age type thing.
Glad you liked that track!

Loving this c64 chat! I remember my dad taking Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom back to the shop on the principle that you shouldn't have to reload side B every time you died. Eat that, #PS4NoDRM!
It's quite easy, I've just been using boots and shoes.
