Lost all interest in that show when I read about the scripting & fake customers etc. My own fault for believing there was much, if any, reality in reality tv shows.

Was the same feeling I got when I found out WWF was scripted.

Don't bother with any of those shows at all anymore. Once you know they're scripted they're broken for life.

The worst is storage hunters where every storage unit always contains a super rare item worth $10,000,000

Never bothered with that, or any of the others. They're profoundly fake, scripted & set up. I just can't bear to watch them knowing they're fake, what's the point? Any surprise, excitement, anticipation etc all goes out the window when you know the scenarios are not actually real.

Had a comment deleted on Adverts. I was pointing the messing around.
An offer was refused for Donkey Kong Jet Race and was refused.
The seller then said they'd take 7 for it.
I popped in an offer of 8, the asking.
I was then informed a deal was done with the previous guy.
Not happy I reported the behaviour and made a comment about it, nothing crude, and our was removed.

alot of shenanigans on adverts recently, had a seller selling a load of rare games (can't remember exactly which console) for €6 each, some pr*** offers €12 each which the newbie seller accepts, and the mods pull the ad.

I'm back from a week holidays and a weekend of straight into work. Finished at 1 today though and I'm off tomorrow.

I can safely say that knowing I have 2 Breaking Bads to watch tonight got me though it

DinoRex

I'm amazed at sheer amount of time wasters.

Think about 3 times now on my keyboard I've had people say they'll take it and can meet me today and when I respond I never hear from them again.

The show's stars admitted that all the good stuff are plants.

Did anyone play Gone Home yet?

http://thefullbrightcompany.com/gonehome/

Looks kind of interesting, I love anything 80's and 90's pop culturaly so I'd like to give it a go

DinoRex

I don't think it's actually set in the 90s, it's just set in Portland which is essentially the same thing.

Atavan-Halen

I'm having a conversation on twitter in Japanese with celery. How does that even happen?!

Yeah it is excellent. Another of the surprisingly fascinating 'walking around' simulators where all the interesting things in game storytelling seem to be taking place (Proteus, Dear Esther etc..., although there's more exploration and clicking stuff in Gone Home). Clever subversion of familiar mechanics. Well worth a go.

@nerdkiller1991 The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland, Portland.

Strangely enough I'm not surprised by that fact at all, not even in the slightest. Not coming from you anyway.

I started playing Gunhound EX today on the PSP. Holy crap is this game amazing. It's like a super charged version of Cybernator/Assault Suit Leynos. Seriously, get on to playasia and buy this game as soon as possible it's amazing!

How does the difficulty level hold up against Assault Suit Valken/Leynos 2?

It depends. So far it's not too bad but I'm using continues. If you don't use continues, which are infinite and restart you back at a checkpoint with full health, then you'll get a huge amount of challenge out of it. I died a good few times on bosses,they would have been tougher without continues and no checkpoint just before them. I got to stage 3 which was giving me trouble before I had to get off my train.

Seems like it is short enough, bit no shorter than a 16-bit game.

It's very like cybernator, you have a punch move, your machinegun has to reload and when you destroy the bigger machines you can see the pilots run away (and you can gun them down if you are cruel). The 2D sprite work is some of the best I've ever seen, so much attention to detail like the bullet casings and debris acting differently in anti gravity and you can see the main gun spin down after firing.

Annoyed I didn't hang onto my PSP now, would love to play it. Perhaps an excuse to pick one up again

I thought from the title that it was a horror game initially but when I heard a synopsis it actually seemed fairly interesting. Too much to play at the moment but I'll get round to it eventually.

So you're a rapper who cuts himself? I see the music execs are going after the long sought after Rap Goth demographic.

CiDeRmAn

So,
You want to be the Moderator on A&R for the following reasons....

1, You're rapid
2, You don't want to be homosexual
3, You're sound
4, You're bleeding
5, If not made a mod you'll show your nipples to all.

hmm....
quite a compelling case there...

CiDeRmAn

Re point 5
Hasn't everyone already seen your nipples?
Kinda undermines the impact a bit....

FYI for any nintendo fans. There's currently a SNES emulator for iOs in the App Store, looks like they snuck it under the radar, but it won't last long.

It reads and opens "files" you have in your Dropbox or FTP accounts. Price is less than a euro, and it works beautifully. Get it now before it's gone.
