  1. I bought bishi bashi special and suikoden. I couldn't quite bring myself to buy Hatoful boyfriend though I'm tempted
  2. Has anyone played Hatoful Boyfriend? I can't even believe I'm thinking about buying it.

      Played a bit of it and got awfully bored inside an hour. I guess it's a funny joke, but eventually it loses it's charm and because a fairly run of the mill visual novel.

    3. Mr. GOH!

      Watched a let's play. It is not very interactive at all, even for visual novels, apparently.

      Yeah, isn't great. But I figure the novelty is the only reason any of you would play a VN anyway.

  3. I was moderately left wing in the UK, which apparently is extremely left wing in the US. Rand Paul was my best match Republican, but that was just 46%. Is he relatively moderate by Republican standards? Can't say I've actually heard of him.
  4. My results. Not sure why it thinks I'm in Liverpool. Green has been top when I've done similar ones before. Slightly disturbed at 61% UKIP agreement, though when I click through to compare it's on things like monarchy and decriminalising drugs so it's not as bad as it looks, especially as it thinks I'm moderately left wing.
  5. What I didn't buy today was a £200 PS4. They'd left out the "take to the till" DVD cases so was pretty excited but when I got to the till they said they didn't have any left. Pretty annoying stuff. Unless I see another offer that good it's back to waiting for the slim to rear it's hopefully-not-ugly head.
  6. Even though I will definitely be getting it at or near launch (don't judge me!), it's hard to get too excited if we don't even know if it's handheld, home console or some hybrid system.
  7. I suppose this is the next step on from selling download codes in GAME. I wonder how much control Nintendo gives the retailers over the price.
  8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv9TtQdx9Ao I've seen a hundred ads for this game, but this one almost had me tempted.
  9. It's entirely a touristy thing - they created the name when they built the train station to encourage people to travel that far along the line. It's ordinary name is Llanfairpwllgwyngyll which admittedly is still rather a mouthful, but no worse than a lot of other welsh names.
  10. Are you subscribed to WSJ or using shenanigans to read that?
  11. I missed out on the goodbye coin so got these instead: which is a set of two coasters. The coins certainly didn't last long until they sold out but I'm sort of glad as it made the decision for me and while I liked the idea of the goodbye coin it would just sit in a cupboard so is a bit of a waste.
  12. What's bad about lettuce (production)?
  13. bread and a bit of meat would freeze fine, but for other stuff you wouldn't need to experiment. That's all been done and easily googlablebut obviously not telling you what to do just I've never heard of anyone who's tried that method and not loved it. Anyone here tried tres leche cake? It sounds like something I'd love but cannot quite imagine it. E.G., Does the glaze sinK in making the cake moist like a drizzle cake or sit on top like a glazed donut?
  14. I don't know if you already do this but you can make up all your weeks sandwiches in one batch and put them in the freezer. Take one out each morning you need it and it's defrosted by lunchtime. Some things don't freeze great , e.g. Lettuce, but it saves time and money and is good for diets as you don't have the ingredients sat in the fridge all week tempting you/needing to be eaten as thhey're going off.
  15. Yes I've played all the games except unity. Was a long while ago though.The only one I've not finished is the vita one
  16. Coincidentally, I'm playing that at the moment - I'm enjoying the plot more than normal, seems like he's actually struggling with some moral choices and trying to do the right thing rather than just being set off on a path and ploughing along it indiscriminately killing, though I'm ready for a change of scenery. I think just because the world may actually be too big for me now. Navigating the ship though all those narrow straits make the naval battles and fort capturing a bit awkward and too many separate places to drop anchor means I'm finding it a very disjointed experience. All the separate bits are good though like the cave exploring and even the viewpoints are often not just climb straight up the nearest tower and require a little route planning. Haven't played unity and I know it has technical problems, but I'm hoping they've used it as a chance to refocus (and dare I say give it a bit of a reboot). One thing I've found a bit weird is that the "back" menu button is also the main interact button so I'm often backing my way out of a menu only to jump straight back into it. I don't know if that's because I'm on 360 when I usually play them on PS3, but another side effect of that is I do not cope well with wild animal attacks as it's not just not the PS3 controller I'm used to for this series, but also the letters are the opposite way around to a Nintendo controller which is the other one I'm used to. That's only a small niggle though and I think the series remains a favourite.
  17. I thought you just put hoover the cat, which would definitely be more entertaining. Spoof may not be a word you'd use for it but when the love letter is about as subtle as Scary Movie I think it fits (minus the implied humour), but it was comically badly written/plotted/acted and like I say well past simple cliché. An ode to the genre may be one thing but it needs its own voice or something unique. I think cassetteboy could have made this exact same film. Even the action sequences were not exciting to me, which would be the only redeeming feature so no, even the first watch through wasn't worth it. I wouldn't even leave it on in the background if it was on again
  18. It was so bad, I couldn't tell if it was a spoof of the genre or not. edit: oops i guess i left this comment unposted too long. that was about pacific rim not usual suspects
  19. Pacific Rim has put me off big monster movies for now but I will try and remember there is a newer one worth watching for the future.
  20. Is that the one with Matthew Broderick or is there a newer one since then? Can't believe I still haven't seen it, it's on TV practically every week.
  21. There's no point in making a load of work fit yourself and updating if it's just going to make a load of problems that are worse than the ones we have now. I guess my problem is I still naively see updates in a positive light. I'm assuming .1 updates would concentrate on fixing issues introduced in a .0 update rather than new features so fingers crossed for that.
  22. I've had that for about as long as the new content button hasn't worked (a long time) but I'm hoping everything will sort itself out when the forum software is updated by our benevolent overlord.
  23. Dean, will this work for you to skip the login screen? Here's a tip for anyone who, like me, hates the Windows 8/10 login screen. Just hit Windows Key + R to bring up the Run window, then type in the word 'netplwiz'. Then untick the box in the next window, click okay There's a photo of the box to untick which says users must enter a username and password to use this pc. Not tried it myself as I don't want it to log straight in but worth a try hopefully
  24. anyone in PAL region got any club nintendo codes they don't need? Just short of getting the coin and bomb flower coasters - don't want to have to choose! Thanks :)
