  1. a bit of chilli adds flavour, a more chilli doesn't add more flavour, just more heat which masks other flavours. Now it may just mask the flavours because I am not inured to to, but I do not see the advantage of accustoming myself to something that is unpleasant.
  2. Was it just you and him taking or a group thing? Maybe you need to all sit down together and have an intervention. Sounds like he's suffering from depression. If you could put it in a way that you want to help him and make it as positive as possible rather than like you're all ganging up on him. Then if you follow through and try and help him out and he still doesn't respond at least you'll know you tried your best. Things like when he's by the sink start the water up and say you wash I'll dry and keep doing them and chatting to him. It will be hard for him to leave but you've got him to do it on a non complaining way.
  3. I don't mind a bit of spice but I don't see the appeal when it's just extra heat and no extra flavour especially when it's so hot it actually spoils your ability to taste the flavours that are already in the meal.
  4. regina spektor is ace. this doesnt sound like the stuff of hers i have. i guess its a new album and a new direction
  5. Hyne and Pegg were the real power couple. I miss Spaced.
  6. Chronicles is only coming to the new 3DS ( unless that video says otherwise as I've not watched it).
  7. I admit the name piqued my interest but I love the song, and they sensibly kept it short and sweet. I could totally imagine it in a Wes Anderson film, whether you think that's a good or bad thing, it's certainly a compliment from me.
  8. It doesn't necessarily have to follow the plot of the games, but there's no reason that's not possible either, you don't really need that much plot to make an enjoyable program. I would prefer it for example if they emphasised Zelda being a strong character or included her as sheik would be cool. There's actually quite a lot of scope when you think about it. I don't know if you get it in USA, but if they made it like the BBC Merlin series that would be enjoyable enough - I thought that struck a good balance between light hearted, action and drama and managed to appeal to a decent age range on different levels. I think the problem would arise if they tried to take it too seriously, which is why the comparison to game of thrones is alarming, though I'm guessing/hoping that's marketing department PR bull. Edit: having said all that, it's not something I've ever wanted to see, but Netflix has a good track record for original drama so there's no reason not to be positive either. Assuming it actually happens, it sounds very early stages/rumour.
  9. If they were only $3 you didn't need to steal them!
  10. I really need to crack out Chronicles as it will probably take until this one comes out to complete it. I think I remember complaints that chronicles was too sprawling? it certainly doesn't look like they've compressed this one any even with the unnatural speed they seemed to be running. I also really hoped they'd change the creepy doll-like faces they;re super disturbing.
  11. Vitas are £49 in tesco if you can find them - obvious;y they are low stock. they barcode is 711719180593 which they can use to check stock locally if you call your local store.
  12. You are. You're missing a free cup of coffee. FREE. If that's not worth your humanity I don't know what is
  13. Have we talked about London in here yet? what are everyone's thoughts? Disappointed it's in the west again, pleased it's more modern?
  14. aren't Nintendo, MS and Sony more like the people in the back cooking the food and Nintendo wants the waiters (LPers) to share the tips they're earning as they're the ones making the food the customers are enjoying enough to leave a tip.
  15. Why is it illegal? Don't Nintendo have a right for people to not publicly show their copyrighted work, or is it different because a person is playing and commenting on it rather than, say just uploading a movie.
  16. definitely try not to buy games until you're ready to play them. It's a digital download, not a limited edition physical copy, so it's not going anywhere and who knows, by the time you want it they may have seen sense and put it on steam, or reduced the price. Either way it weighs on my mind having so many games I own but haven't played, I guess it must for others too.
  17. sounds like you really got the bug.
  18. this is what you get for going with PC gaming! Welcome to the forums. You'll find us a good size but a word of warning since you joined Friday - it is quiet on the weekends (apparently some people have lives outside of here?!) so don't let that out you off.
  19. what does that do? It doesn't explain in the link.
  20. might finally buy dragon age origins and get rid of that money that was converted from points before it expires.
  21. My brother used to love the original but I never really could get in to it so I've not been tempted by this one. Do they plan to make it more readily available? Seems weird to only have it on their own site. Isn't it online now? Maybe they've soft launched it to make sure it's stable before it goes on steam and suchlike and gets hammered.
  22. I feel like exclude has negative connotations like shunning someone you don't like from a group whereas disclude seems more neutral. This is only my feelings toward the words though and nothing to do with correct use of English. I don't have a great technical knowledge of English as when I was taught it was all that nonsense about using it to express your feelings and not about how it actually works.
  23. speaking of. With the announcement of the discontinuation of club nintendo to be replaced with a new scheme... my hopes are building again. Surely the system has to be significantly different rather than just tinkering for them to make their announcement. Maybe it will be the premium bonus thing made as the main reward system, but that would disclude retail games. Have their been any hints as to what will be coming?
  24. On Google Play Vulnicura doesn't turn up any results and when I search for her and look at her releases it doesn't show up. Amazon has it available as import on cd and vinyl, pre-order of uk cd version for march and no download version. Guessing it's only out in usa at the moment. I don't think technology is sufficiently advanced to hide it only from me to frustrate me.
