I should put this in pet peeves, but it seems to fit in here just fine. I hate when people feel the need to hate on pop music: "it's rubbish because it's in the charts" is not a good reason to hate something. It;s a good reason to make you look like a pretentious arsehole. I bet some of them would actually like it if they'd just get over themselves and not let themselves be so tightly bound by whatever musical niche they've squeezed themselves into.

at least they're telling you some of the stuff they're doing with the updates. I hate mystery firmware updates where you can potentially brick your system and you don't even necessarily get anything useful out of it.

eggy bread with a hint of sugar sounds nice to me as that's what I put on eggy bread. I'm gong to have to take the plunge and make it one of these days. Thanks for being the guinea pig! edit: all that nonsense about egg yolks is a load of... nonsense, IMO.

He was hot when he wasn't being a whiny bitch, so thanks! slightly less thanks, lol. Seriously though, one thing I'm not short of is hair. If I did start receding I'd just buzz it off, though. Dying grey hair and trying to hide bald patches just draws more attention to it, IMO.

Anyone dare to try out ice cream bread? I really want to but don't want to waste a load of ice cream if it turns out as weird as I imagine it would. The flat crispy ones in the comments look gorgeous, as my favourite bit of a cake is to make a slightly crispy crust to trim off and eat. yum.

mark owen's voice gets on my nerves, nearly as bad as Robbie Williams. Pretty much I only like Gary Barlow led songs. Shame he can't get away with telling them to shut up and stay in the background like he used to be able to. Also, shouldn't that be in guilty pleasures, edit: bit slow there...

Just got a malware warning from that link. Weird.

well, Tom Cruise does look great for his age... time to embrace our inner lizards?

I've tried that recipe, and this one too. I prefer the latter as it has a really nice gooey texture and doesn't need and egg so it's a fair bit easier to make, less like a proper cake though.

has anyone played where is my heart? I've never heard of it. Not that I have a vita to play it on but I will one day.

just remember to take the bottle tops off first.

I keep nearly buying the M83 album - I don't know what stops me. Listening to the at the moment though: Quite a few good songs on the album.

Part two of the anniversary sale. I think Super Mario Land 2 was the first game I ever managed to complete.

For your daily dose of Finish disco.

Hello, all the new people! So many new people. New people... must. not. fear... change.

Thanks for clearing it up. I'm trying not to read too much about AC3 so it's a nice surprise for me when I play it .That means I may end up with the wrong idea about some things. I guess I kind of hate the amount of information that's thrown at as nowadays.

I'm more excited about the forest areas too, that's why I was surprised to see what looks like a large town. I'm hoping we don't end up spending the majority of our game time in cities and the rural areas are relegated to being corridors like they are currently.

Looks like quite a large city area looking at the horizon. I wonder what the ratio of countryside to town is, and if the split in time you spend in each is a similar ratio. The countryside areas in the previous games always only felt like a connecting area between built up areas I hope in this game they feel like their own thing, a place to explore not just to travel through.

I needed new spectacles but couldn't decide on any I actually liked so got some cheapo ones until I find a decent pair. I prefer them to my old ones at any rate. Anyway, hold on to your gussets: My hair's a lot shorter since my last picture too. I cut my hair myself so don't feel you have to say it looks nice, but please don't say it looks awful! It looks crummy when I pay for it anyway, so it may as well look bad for free. Weirdly, it seems to be getting straighter for the last 6 months or so, don't know what that's about, but I don't like it - it's easier to hide mistakes when it's curly.

New UK plans mean a £20 charge to prove your innocence. :/

Are the Penny arcade games actually any good?

Apparently it is actually to be built. It just looks SO futuristic, I can hardly believe it. Sci Fi Sets Sail
