Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I feel a bit sad we had some good times together.
Time for that soldering station you've always dreamed off?0 -

Yep, although I think the waterpump is going on the car so that'll need fixing first 0 -

Maybe a "Show me your arcade and retro pets" thread would be an idea.
Sorry to hear about your dog. They are part of the family.
In a retro related note, my childhood dog died around 1992 or something.
My dad wanted to bury him but i was too busy playing Bubble Bobble on the C64 with a mate. I have always regretted not doing that.
Since then its been two golden retrievers and now two Westies. 0 -

Awh no! Sorry to hear about your dog dude my folks lab passed on a couple of years ago and we were all devastated. Part of the family for years and years. It really is tough.
Here's my new mischievous little fecker. She's already clawing at my arcade stools :eek:

Ha, great pic. I know cats are't for everyone, but they make really great pets too. We had our last two cats pass away about two years ago, they were 16 & 17 and were definitely what you'd call part of the family! You'll see all the traits people associate with great pets in her o1s1n, you'll just have to learn to speak her language, rather than her speaking yours
With dogs, it's the other way around. 0 -

So I was looking for a second hand baby bottle warmer this morning (as you do), and this came up in the search results.

WHAT THE F**K IS THAT ABOUT?
I mean, I know times are tough; austerity, taxes, water charges, stealing money from our pay packets to pay back bondholders and Angela feckin' Merkel's gang. But for the love of God, that's some serious amount of milk expressed from one woman's jabs!?
Either the woman is freezing and storing that stuff for months, or whoever the seller is, is running some sort of expressing mill?
...might buy a couple of sneaky bags though for my Coco Pops.

You know, normally I wouldn't agree to having something as non gaming related as that here in the A&R forum, but somehow the WTF value of the ad makes it all OK.0 -

Not yet. Found something on Adverts so waiting to hear back. If you have one though that would be great!
The old boiled kettle and Sports Direct mug routine at 3am while a child is upstairs having a nuclear meltdown and you're in the nip bar your trolleys and a pair of slippers in a freezing kitchen with a dog that is constantly farting and loves listening to Sunshine FM is getting labourious rather quickly.

So, it looks like my one day old PS4 likes to eject discs on me. A quick Google suggests it's a common problem. What in the fcuk Sony. Going to try tighten the screw mentioned in some vids and see if that sorts it. They sure don't build em like they used to... :rolleyes:
/Edit:
Powered off, unplugged and turned the unit upside down to have a look. Check out this crappy workmanship:
Rear foot:
Front foot (perilously close to the touch sensitive eject button):
No idea how they didn't think a touch sensitive button flush with the base of the unit wouldn't cause potential problems. Anyway, tightened the screw, rebuilt the database and have the PS4 sitting on four PS Vita cases until I find better feet for it. :rolleyes:
Fingers crossed it will be ok from now on.0 -

No, I saw the reduced price in Smyths/Argos but tbh I don't understand the point of it. I have a Vita anyway so figured I'm good for now for Sony goodness.
Was so close to pulling the trigger on one myself, but talked myself out if it luckily. From reading the comments thereafter, they're a bit pointless no?0 -

Especially when the Vita itself can fulfill the PSTV role, or at least the first gen one can, with HDMI out.
It does? Oh cool i will check my Vita, then i can plug it in to the Framemeister if it needs any fiddly goodness that only the Framemeister can leak from it's mighty teet!
Actually, if i get 3 seconds to check it out tonight I will do so. 0 -

Actually, what I should've added was that with the release of the PSTV they didn't update the Vita firmware to activated the output and the removed the necessary hardware altogether in the 2nd generation Vita.
Which is not cool Sony, not cool at all.0 -

Video Games Live was good craic on Saturday night. I only picked up tickets on Friday when they made their last discount code available. Got 2x tier 3 seats for €67 which on the night turned out to be perfect seats.
You may have read elsewhere that the second half was heavily Blizzard focused but given the Conductor's work experience that was to be expected and appreciated. The highlight for me was the opening piece from FFVIII, it's something else to hear live. The Auditorium of the CCD can hold 2000 people and from what I could see, they used the bottom section only. Of the seats available in that section, I'd say about 80% - 85% were filled. There were some folk seated on the higher level but I reckon not more than 60ish (I had a peek during the intermission so I could be well wrong). Their initially high prices must have thrown people off but hopefully this won't deter VGL from coming back again. Preferably sooner than 6 years 0 -
