  1. Actually in current trading £1 = €1.16.
  2. I find it sad that people on Kotaku had no idea what Q-Bert is.

      A Q-Bert is a type of pastry (German?) that has vanilla custard baked into the crust and usually cherry spread over it. It's almost like a scone, really - except more delicious.

      Delicious. Like frosted Mini-Wheats.

      I remember Q-Bert! That trumpet lipped egg!

  3. I had a good day at FYE. That's Company of Thieves new album (Running From a Gamble) that was FREE (there's a coupon online) and the Peach figure will be going on the wedding cake.
  4. Pepsi Max is the best sugar free cola I've had. Lately I've been enjoying some of the Polar ones. I found a Diet Grape the other day. Seriously it was the first time I've had grape soda in years! Totes worth it!
  5. Found another 40% off Borders coupon so for $5 I picked up:
  6. Mine was free. They said it was an old POS. Well I did but an AT to PS2 adapter but still, that's like $3.
  7. Probably. I rally prefer the feedback that a buckling spring gives you. It's the closest thing to typing on an IBM Selectric typewriter. *this message was typed on an IBM Model M that, despite the Enter key sticking occasionally if you hit it on the right half of the top, has worked perfectly since 1986.*
  8. But how does it compare to a Model M? I'm debating on getting a new Model M for work (one of those made by Unicomp (Linky Link Link) )
  9. 40% off coupon at Borders? Fuck yeah! Preordered! I can't effing wait!
  10. Well, I picked up a few books as I just finished "The Parade's Gone By" by Kevin Brownlow. and I also pre-ordered: Why? Because it's effing awesome, that's why.
  11. Latin Alphabet? I don't know Japanese, what's the name of the game? Otomedius Excellent. It's on the cover, just in tiny print. The US version doesn't have official art yet.
  12. I had a moment of weeabooism and preordered: Skirts, boobs and shmups: what more could a man want?
  13. Why the fuck didn't I play Pikmin 2 back in 2004? This game is RAD!

      I played it when it came out and was very sad when it was over very quickly.

      Beefy, you NEED to play Pikmin. The first game can be had used on Amazon for less than $10 and the Wii update is less than $20. Maybe after I finish with Pikmin, I'll go back and play Chibi Robo again.

  14. Thanks for reminding me I have five more months of this planning. I'm all for doing it now and getting it over with.
  15. $3 for any BigFish Games via Groupon http://www.groupon.com/deals/big-fish-games-syracuse I have a referral link if you guys want to be kind to a poor man getting married soon.
  16. I'm always tempted to join that. The people on Blu-ray.com's forums have figured out ways to get all sorts of deals left and right on stuff from there and average like $10 per BD.
  17. I only buy from Borders and B&N with coupons. Recently B&N had a 50% off coupon that I printed out several copies of and using my B&N membership got some good deals on stuff. I used to buy a lot from Borders but lately they're just shit too. Barnes and Noble wins many hearts over with their semi-annual Criterion sales.
  18. Just as an FYI, Amazon has an $8 off coupon if you buy Lion King and another title (in my case Dumbo) plus Dumbo itself had a coupon. Otherwise if you watch the Blu-Ray.com forums there will most likely be a Disney Movie Rewards coupon you can print out. "Never pay full price for a Disney Blu," I say.
  19. Sure, they are preorders but two coupons on these on Amazon made these worth getting. Well, I only wanted Dumbo but my fiancee really wants Lion King. So the first is mine, the second is hers. I got one of these for a possible project but if not, I'll give it to my brother or my mom. I already have an iPod Video from 2006 that still works great so I'm in no hurry to get a new one.
  20. I'm a tired achey old man. I just popped two Exceddrin. Great way to start the day. ~_~

      I'm the youngest person at my company by at least 3-4 years and one of only two or three who isn't currently married so I think they are trying to make me as old as they are.

  21. Oh and today I got me a pair of these: *cue Hipster jokes*
  22. Docks of New York - Man Josef Von Sternberg was a fucking genius with lighting and shadow.
  23. Well after Ubuntu showed its new ugly "Unity" face I've decided the next time I upgrade my PC I'll be switching back to Debian

      Actually I'm running Mint at home now. I prefer Gnome over KDE, though.

      Can't you just log in with classic mode?

      It still seems to run slower and I'm sure Avant Window Navigator won't play nice with it.

  24. Indeed. Unfortunately the N64 and the GCN had fantastic games made by Nintendo and 2nd party devs (like Rare) but less great games from other devs. Plus when it came to multiplat it always seemed like third partys didn't want to compete with Nintendo so they took their games elsewhere or made rushed ports to the N64/GCN. I still say the GCN is the most underrated and undervalued console ever but the N64 isn't far behind.
