    Got my vitrectomy* done two weeks ago so eye will be good to go soon, can't wait to see the spirit leave guitar when I finally string him up. Soooooooooooooooooon.

    Am gonna need glasses and biannual treatment but sight will finally be mine again after two damn years of horrible blurred vision and repeated bouts of total vision loss in both eyes.




    *DO NOT LOOK UP Google will no longer be your friend.

    That's all pretty interesting.
    Luckily my career renders me immune it the ick factor of such images.

    Here's a video of the surgery in action....

    anyone in D18 selling zelda breath of the wild for switch?

    not exactly a bargain, but Amazon now have the physical copy of Sine Mora EX for £19.99 which is about what it would cost you on the ZA eShop. (If you have the means to pay, Canadian eShop is cheapest at €20ish)

    I'm remembering a part from Dead Space 2. Warning: Not for the squeamish. Linking due to preview image (see the unsuccessful version from 1:26)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9crCGMh4j9g

    I assume after such an operation you have the ability tro see dead people?
    And worse than that, you'll be able to see what's really being said here

    I believe it is 25euro in Argos?.. Could be mistaken it for another game however

    I told you not to Google it now everyone will want this op done.

    Sine Mora €25.99 in argos.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Yeah, and £19.99 is less than €23. So, as I said, not exactly the bargain of the millennium but a good price none the less for the physical version

    But you don't get free shipping on that so it works out around £24 from Amazon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Who buys less than 25 quids worth off Amazon?
    Throw on a fox McCloud amiibo if they're still less than 7 quid.

    A few marginal deals over on HUKD, like the Splatoon edition pro controller for £60 on amazon, NBA 2k18 for £35 + parcel motel at GameCentre, a few carry cases.... Nothing earth shattering but still...

    Trawling through the internet and came across this 3rd party Switch compatible Pro controller. It has all the features of the Official Switch Pro Controller except NFC, which is a good thing in my book. Oh and it has Turbo.

    LREGO Wireless Controller, Wireless Bluetooth Gamepad für Nintendo Switch

    https://www.amazon.de/LREGO-Wireless-Controller-Bluetooth-Nintendo/dp/B075GJBYWK/ €25

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/LREGO-Wireless-Controller-Bluetooth-Nintendo/dp/B075GJBYWK/ £25

    Here's a video though it's in German.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNOdik1SQeg

    It's less than half the price of the official controller.

    Looks good but the Hori one would be my preference.

    Fire emblem warriors collectors edition for £50. Tenner more than regular. Ships with CDs, art cards and other tat that's not worth getting excited about... Unless the top of your wardrobe is looking a little bare...

    Can it carry things besides the Switch as well? I ask because I got the messenger bag before not realising it was only really for the Switch on its own, not as a day to day bag.

    I mainly got it for switch and laptop and stuff I'll have a look at it when I get back and let you know

    Do you not think that such a bag announces to the scum of the world "Hey, I've something expensive in here!" ?

    I've got a bald head, a massive beard and suffer from scowling resting face. No one comes near me.

    Still get pointed and laughed at :(

    Shovel Knight amiibo 9 quid on Argos
    http://checkargos.com/product/4551737
    No stock in my locals but it shows as orderable
    Remember he's the amiibo so good even Sligeach bought it! And he hates these fecking things!

    Ness for same price - 1 in Tallaght, 1 in ilac
    http://checkargos.com/product/4506634

    Also if there's not enough of a lesbian subplot in Fire emblem warriors for you, try Nights of Azure 2, going for £37 on Base.

    Shovel knight is F*in awesome!

    Playing on WiiU with mini snes controllers is pretty class!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89

    But Argos yet again putting stuff on sale that is in small or non existent stock isn't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Not for everyone but Just Dance for Switch, £27 on Amazon
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MY8WBS8/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

    Also, not amazing bargains but given the WiiU thread got a bump, Devils Third is £20.99, not the cheapest ever but the best in a while, and Wii U BotW is £39.99.

    Not sure if this is the right place but wondering if anyone could guide me some advice/opinions. which is the best console to buy for my husband? The PS Vita, Nintendo 3DS or the switch? He has the PS4 so would the Vita just be the same but in a handheld version?

    The PS Vita doesn't get the same support in terms of games as PS4, isn't nearly as powerful, and doesn't have anywhere near the same library of games as 3DS or PS4. If it was up to me I'd get the switch as it has a great few games already, and a bright future, but the 3DS is cheap and has one of the greatest libraries ever if you take both DS, 3DS, and virtual console games.
