Ive been waiting years for someone to declare that Waterworld is a good film! I really enjoy it, sure has its flaws but its still a solid watch.

I watched it for the first time a few years back and...yeah, it wasn't bad.

Its no big trouble in little china by any stretch but still a good watch for a brain dead mid week night.

Plus that PAAAPER scene...gets me everytime. Its a running joke I have with a few mates

The Last Bandit

So, bought an item on Ebay from China - was really really cheap.
Week later got a message saying the product was return to them by their shipping company due to strict customs in my country and offered a refund ? Ok, so called bullcrap on this and told them as much and to send refund.
So now another message saying if I agree not to leave -ve feedback then the refund will be processed - what a bunch of dicks. I think -ve feedback is a must now

Love the way some sellers feel they can dictate what feedback gets left for them. While Paypal has its flaws, the buyer protection makes dealing with these numpties so much less painful. I don't even bother disputing through ebay these days. Send me the product I paid for or it's a paypal dispute, simple as

I would agree not to leave the negative feedback, wait for the refund, and then leave a neg.

Ah here, another avatar change?! You must be getting paid commission or something. :pac:

Is that a Stargate reference or something else?

What can I say Though in fairness, this is just going back to an older one I used to have :pac: Yep, Stargate

Seen this lad over on J+


Hes probably wearing wellies,marigolds and has one hand in his pocket!
Talk about overkill!

o1s1n

What you don't see in that photo is him standing behind blast doors in a hazmat suit :pac:

Ah I guess we all want to keep safe..that's a bit much alright. How would you even manoeuvre the probe on the end of a stick? Probably end up distracting you in some other way.

At some point he's going to have to reach in there and pick up the anode cap anyway...

The Last Bandit

Will probably trip over the stick and break his neck !!

Either that or its the opposite and he is sitting in the bath, bored with life.

MrVestek

So I continued some of my Twitch Shenmue playthough tonight and who do I see subscribing to the channel?



Yup... that happened.

Now you might say that it's a fake account but he's due to do his own Q&A stream tomorrow and apparently that's the account he's doing it from!

So erh yeah... he even came and said hi in the chat! (Granted it was in Japanese and I needed to use Google Translate)

So yeah... I nerded the **** out a little bit...

eddhorse

Futureworld, unwanted sequel, a pale reheat of the original.
Probably served as inspiration for Jurassic Park III!

Another big step forward in the US yesterday, I saw this and thought I'd share it given all the Sega love at the moment.

I see Retrogamer have start reissuing their 'bookazinnes', bit pricey at €16 each but still cheaper than Ebay prices for the original print run.

The old Game Recording has been revamped, it's now The Video Dome & will allow all boards users who are content creators to have their own threads & post up their vids. It's only fledgling at the mo, but hopefully it'll become a nice place to visit with loads of content to watch & talk about - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1377

Great job, another forum to follow.
Maybe a twitch/streaming thread would be a good idea.

Well i was at the Irish Open golf tournament. Nice wee town, very scenic area, hard to tell how busy it would normally be.

So I was due to fly back from Toronto today but our connecting flight was cancelled. Got rebooked on a flight to New York but that was delayed so we had to rebook again for tomorrow. Our bags however are currently in New York so I'm still in Toronto getting drunk in smelly clothes. Oh yeah!

Finished Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations last night. What an excellent way to end that trilogy. I loved how it brought together the all three games together in the end and the new prosecutor and the antagonist where excellent. It might even convert me to a coffee drinker.
