  1. The majority of my haul. Two packets of Wrigleys Extra, a Mock the Week book("scenes we'd like to see" stuff), some bookmarks, a non-winning scratchcard (one of three), a finger skateboard, some marvel toiletries, two tickets to a Walking with Dinosaurs show at Metro Arena, chocolate selection box, tube of smarties, a heat changing Pac-Man mug, Nivea bathroom set, and a "Zoob Bot" which is a sort of k'nex style thing, bit more moveable though. Not pictured is my gran has been since then and I got a wooly hat and cheque from her. Going to my dad's on friday. A pretty good haul, except for lacking the fucking iPad waht the fuck maam!!(do not click if you wish to remain in full festive cheer)

  3. Well last time I looked I'd lost 2.5 stone (35lbs for the yanks, 16kg for the euros), aiming to lose some more over the coming year. I've had two jobs this year, and I guess that nullified the second one. 2013 will likely be a repeat on that all. I guess try and clear a chunk of my backlog and aim to socialise a bit more.
  4. Well today I learnt my mother is a massive cheater at video games.

      She pushed my buzzer so I'd pie myself. I don't think she liked the fact now the music rounds were done I was blasting ahead.

  5. Yeah XIII-2 was going to be one of my choices for GOTY given how much an improvement over FFXIII it was. Very focused cast mind, and LR seems to be going even more focused. The story was a bit weird, but this is a FF game so to be somewhat expected. I am interested in a demo too, be interesting to see how it'd pan out.
  6. CS:GO in 15 minutes, come hop along.

  7. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.crashlab.google.snowman If you're going to be around children this Xmas and own an Android phone I'd strongly recommend this.

  8. It's on sale on Google Play and I'd always heard good things of it.
  9. This is why I'm not called metaldean.
  10. I've a growing urge to buy a new pair of shoes, not quite sure why. Also I don't know too much on dog psychology but I think your dog just gave dominance to the alpha mirror. edit: on closer inspection cowboypoets face does look a bit like a shoe, that might be it. Your face and that crafty subliminal messaging, you!!
  11. Metalcaveman nabbed me CS:GO. edit: \mm/ \mm/

  14. I have being playing Sims 3. I made my house a Doctor Who household: http://steamcommunity.com/id/deanbmmv/screenshots/?appid=47890 (Aim is to maybe style the house fittingly too, that'd take a bit of time mind). John Smith works at the local laboratory and in his spare time upgrades the house. Rory works at the hospital and in his spare time works out. And Amy works at the theatre and in her spare time plays guitar. Sims is a lot more micro-managey than I remember. But I do like the addition of the ambitions, and the personal achievements and stuff. Getting a career started is much simpler though. In ye olden days it'd take a fair while of in-game time to have a job come up that works out fine, now you just head to the place of work and get an entry level position. If only real life was so simple. Also setting up Sims 3, especially when it comes to online accounts, is a pain in the ass. EA just really need to knuckle down and make a proper Origin Network or something instead of this half arsed thing they've got going on that had me picking from several identities including some I'm pretty sure aren't for EA games at all and some being "dragonage_03384908320" and "masseffect_3094832042". I'm still not sure it's sorted properly, but at least I got the anti-piracy town.
  15. Yep those would be the posts I paraphrased. And I never said Super Mario was the same as Ikari Warriors, that's the point you made with saying "but then all 3D games and all 2D games would be the same" when it was clear I was talking, and always had been, about puzzle-platformers. Thus making you "either being super thick or super obtuse." As for the accusation that I'm purposefully tweaking the code behind the scenes in order to make your quotes come out weird, I wouldn't even know where to start. I've frequently made calls for someone who knows their shit with PHP, HTML and CSS for help on here and on the blog. Why would I even want to go out of my way to tweak the forum software to specifically target you if I could? What would even be my motive?
  16. Pasta, with a chicken thigh, two fried eggs and some red pepper. Because I'm clearing out the fridge/freezer before I go to parents for a week+

    Sim City V

    Nah they said something along those lines in the past. In the recent IAMA they did they'd said that it can manage with a hiccup for an undetermined amount of time (but roughly under a minute) until it kicks you off.

    Sim City V

    Bah, such weak willed people This is why men became Nazguls. Also it's best to assume there won't be a patch that'll allow the game to run wholly on your PC, especially as there's no prior history of EA doing such a thing.
  19. Only four more days. Also you can see the Silurian slowly cracking up past each song.

    Sim City V

    http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/12/20/maxis-explains-the-use-of-simcity-always-online-drm/ So it's "always online DRM" because they've offloaded some of the simulation to their servers.Which means that it's not just a simple DRM scheme, it's a case of when (not if) EA's servers go down for Sim City V (I guess around about when VI comes out) Sim City V will no longer be playable. Sim City 4, ten years on, works fine.
  21. Yeah, I think whoever ripped the video (since I assume they're not someone with a direct source) might have fucked up. I'm sure when the official GT video returns that can be embedded in to replace the current one.
