Obviously, I now have to post the other famous Communards song. Was dancing to them on Saturday night.

Yet, somehow, Falcon Northwest has been in business for years and their business has only grown in that time. I really don't buy that just because you have a lot of money means you're okay with buying something huge and not at all sleek. If anything being rich is what allows you to do that while the peasants have to buy huge towers that aren't specialized to their needs. Between this thread and the Apple thread I'm struggling to understand your position on high end purchases. Seems like if you buy anything you are either a douche bag or a peasant or is there one FDS approved mid range purchase per category that leads to consumerist nirvana?

They did improve the speakers - a few people from podcasts I listen to (i.e. real users) have said they don't feel the need to wear earphones all the time with it now as you can hear most of the detail from the speakers now which used to be lost.

I've just been looking at pushbullet. What's the difference between the windows app and the chrome extension? It says you need both installed but it seems they duplicate a lot of the same things?

Water levels could definitely go in the gaming tropes that need to go thread, same as insta-death water. It's a puppet the stupid thing should float.

I'm trying to enjoy the charming presentation of Pupeteer, but being severely hampered by the massively frustrating controls. It's got that same uncontrolable floaty feeling of Little Big Planet but need much more precision than that game so it is that much more annoying. My main grip is with the scissors - I rarely travel in the direction my my L-stick is pointed which is a nightmare when trying to go up narrow winding paths and cutting around an object before the webbing regrows. Also, sometimes when you are using the scissors to travel horizontally toward a platform got get to the end of the cutting material and can snip through thin air and change direction at will so you can point to the platform with ease, but others you get to the end of the cutting material and plummet straight down. I cannot work out why this is and it is super frustrating on the water level I''m on at the moment where I seem to find the 1mm gap between some bullrushes and the lilly pad over a dozen times now. Really not having a great time in this bit.

So... do you think we'll win with this? Obviously the answer is no, but I actually quite like it - it's certainly catchy.

chrome has more compatibility issues than any other browser I use/have used. If I want something to definitely work IE is still my safest bet.

I know they're not real kitties but c'mon. Cute! Also, something on this page definitely still seems borked - it was painfully slow making this post.

was the phones bending in people's pockets a real problem/design issue or was it just a bunch of prannocks making waves when it launched? If you don't always carry a bag I wouldn't get something that doesn't go in your pocket as what else are you going to do? Carry it in your hand is not really practical. Why don't you try carrying the power bank around in your pocket for a few days and see if it is unwieldy when sitting down or just out and about. If you can't wait to get it out of your pocket then the big size can't be for you.

I've got something expensive coming over from france at the moment without a tracking number, so I've no idea where it is or if it will arrive. I will not be relaxed until it does. There unfortunately wasn't an option for it to have one as I would have happily paid a bit extra for one.

It works how I like it here, and if it didn't I'd have mentioned it constructively in forum suggestions not come in the ranting thread and be like, 'oi Dean, sort it out you knob!' - even if that was what I was secretly thinking,lol.

apparently Brian Cant > Immanuel Kant. I know too little about either to speculate, but I have my suspicions.

I freaking hate forums that keep track of "new content" rather than unread content. If there are two and a half new pages but it only takes me to half way down the last page I'm not going to have fun working out were I was last time and rereading half the thread again to do it. or even more annoyingly if I'm interested in a thread, maybe even replied to it but I come back outside the new content window of time (whatever that may be) so I don't even realise it's had new replies. I guess it makes the forum less complicated/data heavy/faster as it only has to mark up a global list of posts from the last two hours or whatever, rather than track info for every thread for every member? Still. Makes forums much more frustrating to use.

The worst bit is even though you put the security details in the system, the actual games only work with WEP too, so you can't even use wifi for DS games on your 3DS. so frustrating.

I really want to see gravity falls. What is that other one with the gifs? The other one I keep seeing on tumblr is over the fence or something? Someone with a teapot on their head. Looks good but I don't have any of these on my TV.

I know you're joking, but I do suck at videogames! I'm coming to embrace it and enjoy them in a way that's right for me (e.g. I'm playing uncharted 2 on very easy at the moment and having a lot more fun). It's the first time I played a FF games so the corridors weren't a disappointment to me. I only wanted to get as far as the open area to feel like I've given it a decent chance. I'm sure I could get through it eventually but what's the point if I'm feeling more frustration than fun whenever I go back to it. I just don't think the game clicked with me for whatever reason. I don't get those motorbike people that help you, I don't get the weapon upgrade system. I was just wading through all that because I thought I've spent so much time on it it seems like a waste not to complete it, but I am seeing it differently now in that it is a waste for me to struggle on. I am seriously considering deleting my save to stop the temptation of going back as I've been on and off for ages. Not sure why this particular game haunts me as there are loads I've not completed and they've not bothered me to the point I can't even remember half of them. I'm guessing my copy of FF XIII 2 will be staying in its shrink wrap as well.

It's strange this game has been brought up as I just finally gave up on it for good. I've been on and off with it for ages but persevered until you get to the plains when everyone says it opens up and gets good. I kept getting killed by the first "dinosaur" out there and ended up looking how to beat it online. Many people said you can't beat them yet so I ran through the area to the chasm and went through there easy enough. Went off on the side route and got killed by the robot that kept spawning minions, so I thought to myself maybe you're supposed to come back when you're more powerful so didn't mind too much. Went back down the main route, the lift opened and one swipe of the robot's arm and I was dead, literally before I had a change to do anything. This happened 3 times and I am officially done.

Just in case the normal scalpers weren't riling you up enough. Here you go. Yours for only $11,000

When my boyfriend told me to stop impersonating a flamingo, I had to put my foot down.

speaking of soundtracks... I just heard this on a podcast - never actually played the game but the song is super catchy. In fact so catchy I imagine it would slowly drive you mad!

you'll see when the strike is over - if there is suddenly stock then they've either made extra stuff and shipped it or he's telling the truth. Either was is a result. If they aren't stuck and they have no intention of making more then it seems weird he would outright lie as it would only annoy people with no positives.

I technically can play MM now as I have it on Gamecube, and still have my gamecube to play it on, but I loved the 3D so much and the crisper graphics on the OoT remake I want to play the new edition MM, and on the new 3DS for the more stable 3D. I've waited this long so can wait a little longer.
