Woohoo. Finally got Lychees - I got all the other fruit in the first few weeks between visits to the island and other players and deliberately waited for the shop to upgrade to the emporium to get the persimmons but I just never struck lucky with the lychees. I had fun on Halloween though felt a bit guilty scaring the villagers I liked It also meant I had to talk to the villager I'm trying to get rid of which means she's going to be here even longer - it's super frustrating as she seems to be the only one that doesn't try to leave. At the moment I'm picking mushrooms to complete that furniture set. I did eat one of the special mushrooms, which everywhere on the internet says makes you double in size for a few moments. I thought it sounded unlikely and as I feared nothing happened. That wouldn't be so bad but for the fact they sell for 16,000 bells at re tail. I'm also buying the harvest set, though I have a feeling you'll be getting that free during the harvest festivities - which is what happened with the spooky furniture on halloween but I'd rather be safe than sorry. My only problem at the moment is I only have a couple of living things left to catch but they're all spring/summer things and as I don't time travel it is super frustrating to be so close but have to wait half a year. I'm trying to find out if I can get them on the island or if it only looks sunny all year but still has creatures seasonally. Anyone else still playing?

Why not get a PS4 to push your friends toward that platform

Anyone watching Toast of London? I think Matt Berry is brilliant, and it is just the right amount of surreal for me.

Watched Paul as it was on TV. I can't say there was anything wrong with it I just don't particularly like the humour in it. Spaced is the favourite thing I've seen Simon Pegg in, but the bits with Nick Frost were my least favourite in that so I guess I was never going to love any of the films they made together

2012. I know you have to take disaster movies with a pinch of salt but this was just too ridiculous.

Isn't Titanfall coming to 360 too though? Discounting PC (this is console wars after all), it shouldn't be under exclusive if you don't need to get an XO to play it.

Over here it's getting harder to find 3D TVs, that seems to have been dumped in favour of smart TV features.

are they ear plugs? What do you use them for? and have you had a go of your coffee pump yet? What's it like? I miss espresso, but don't want a machine cluttering up the place.

I never saw the second part of that GIF before - I love that it comes in backwards, lol. bonus dog

does anyone know what percentage of current PSN users have a plus subscription? I can only assume it will be higher on PS4 but it would be interesting to see what the change is.

Not sure how accurate this is but it doesn't make one shine out over the other to me.

I just go to the PS Plus page once a month and "buy" everything. Then download them if/when I want to play it.

@FDS: that page isn't on the UK site, but TV ads in the UK say NUTella. The reason I saw it was a post saying all americans are stupid to call it NOOtella, then someone else replied with that picture showing it's the correct pronunciation (in America at least) so the original post implied most/many people in the US call it newtelluh.

Apparently it's not pronounced "nut"-ella in the USA? Madness.

They just changed to commenting system to involve google+ somehow, so I guess that's why you're getting that. The thing that bothers me on youtube at the moment is them trying to get me to use my real name. It's not like I'm on there trolling or anything, but I do not want my real name on there all the same.

I've never heard knackered used to mean drunk. Is that a thing?

I started playing Infamous which I got free when the PSN went down. Only played for an hour or so. It seems fun so far but quite dated.

It's like that rotating Einstein face, but better.

Diarrhoea is hereditary... it runs in the jeans.

that's weird I can't remember it at all - I recognise pretty much every other square of the map.

I don't remember that dragony thing in the top left corner? Is that the DX dungeon?

how would the PC version compare with a more realistic PC? It says the CPU, video cards and memory alone cast twice as much as the PS4. e.g. what resolution and setting level will you guys expect to be playing this game at to get 60fps?

they are indeed cute - except the first one. I thought the ferret was trying to rip the kitten's throat out when I first glanced at it

blimey, that talking effect is worse than the realtime joke effects you get in webcam software.
