  1. Aaaaannd my FAT 60 PS3 is dying AGAIN. Cannot play more than 10 minutes to graphic intensive games without it having the display buggy and freezing.

      Again? Is this a unit you had repaired once or a second unit you bought that's having problems?

    2. OBO

      OBO

      got it repaired once, more than a year ago.

      I got mine done about 3.5yrs ago, been fine since...prolly just jinxed myself...

  2. I stopped drinking so long ago, that now even a little bit of alcool makes me sick. 1 teaspoon of white wine in a recipe made me sick.

      I wasn't even aware of it. It's when I tasted the sauce I realized she had put this

      I believe you. I'm the same. A small sip now makes my jaw hurt for some reason.

      Pirate ? where ? The Everdrives ?

  4. Headache incoming. First my lower left jaw was aching, now it's upper left jaw, next will be the left ear then.. HEAAADAAAACHHHE *Ibuprofen*

      Wow, sounds almost like one of those "Wrath of Khan" earwigs found its way in. Hope you're feeling better!

    2. OBO

      Nope, I KHAAAAAANNN't get rid of it. Will have to go to sleep

      1am. It´s now in my right lower jaw. funny thing is that it's always the place where I got fillings in my teeth. may be time

      to have an appointment at the dentist´s ( and pay a lot in case of issue)

  5. Castle of Illusion on PS3 : Started at 1PM, got the ending at 5PM. Lucky for me I got it at 4€...

      But did you collect every costume and diamond??

       

    4. OBO

      OBO

      Nope. Almost got it 100% but I can't force myself to replay it to get the last diamond hidden in a corner of the map. I do not judge a replay value of a game by the number of collectible/pokemon/abilities/artefact you have to collect to get 100%. The only 100% I have are single player Tomb Raider PS3 and Remember me PS3. Yeah, I admit, seeing a cute woman rear helped a lot.

  6. TxK ! :)

      Can't go wrong with $7.99, downloading now. :)

      I was very happy to see this on the PSN store yesterday. Haven't had a chance to try it yet, but likely will later tonight.

      Anyone else finding the controls a bit floaty and not quite precise?

       

  7. There was a F¨*£%£ing asbestos leak in the hall of our building for WEEKS and we were not aware. They are doing the asbestos removal work AGAIN Knowing I had this in the walls for years, my doctor told me to check in a few years... sweet, thanks.

  8. Why is it that A8 Pitfall has no music when the VCS one has ?

    1. atari2600land

      atari2600land

      Since when? Or are you thinking of Pitfall II?

    2. OBO

      OBO

      I may be wrong here... but I cannot check

       

    3. Bryan

      Bryan

      Pitfall II has music on both systems.

  9. Bored@work. Browsing thounsand of line of VBscript to find potential issue. And thinking I'd be much faster to rewrite it all.

      Find & fix vs. just rewrite it is always the issue.

    4. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      It's too bad that code is (usually) so much harder to read than it is to write.

  10. But... I have access to AA at work now Oh joy !

      Not me.. practically ANYTHING games/music/streaming related is STRICTLY forbidden and won't open. Dicks.

  11. So... Burnout Paradise is the hidden son of NFS ?

    1. goldenegg

      goldenegg

      Burnout is more like the step father of modern NFS games. 80% of the NFS dev team is comprised of past members of the Criterion dev team.

    2. OBO

      OBO

      Yes, it´s more like it. the similarity between this and NFS most wanted is stricking

  12. Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate it. Here we celebrate the "F***ing household tax day"

  13. Shootings today in France. On Friday a guy came not the office of a TV news channel and threatened employees. Today, he went to a newspaper's office, killed a young photograph, then went to my Investment Bank Building and shot at the front door, before carjacking a car and driving back to Paris. Police lost its track.

      The good kind of boom from jay, not the bad kind of boom from the act of violence.

      Anyway, back to work.

  14. Trying to find something funny to post, but can't. Nothing bad happened but my brains is like if I had listened to an album from Diary of Dreams.

      this song always make me wanna resume playing guitar and bass.
  15. Ah. Seems I caught the flu while waiting outside in the rain yesterday for my family doctor to arrive at her office to give me a flu shot that never happened because she forgot we had an appointment.

    1. SoulBlazer

      SoulBlazer

      That's irony for you. :) Going to get my flu shot later this week.

    2. atari2600land

      I don't plan on getting the flu, so I don't need a shot.

  16. So, today in France : Debate over e-cigs law at parliament to have them sold only at pharmacy, Debate over crowdfunding law that will require you to ID yourself to the IRS office, Former president not guilty in a case of unlawful campaign funding, higher taxes for firms. Please, I want a quiet country...:-/

      Yeah. US Gov is in shut down because congress couldnt agree

  17. So... I bought GTA 5 today. There were cameras at the shop. I was asked questions, answered... and now I'm on TV talking about the game. "I guess Warhol wasn't wrong, fame 15 minutes long..."

    1. OBO

      OBO

      Ok, so I talked to them 10 fu**ing minutes and they kept only the 2 seconds when I buy the game. At last I won't have to hide for a week.

  18. The windows in my flat are being changed. Now I have only a sheet of plywood between me and the cold air outside until tomorrow noon. Luckily, I have a PS3 to heat my hands.

      Are they changing 8 of them?

  19. Found 50 Tunisian Dinars left from my trip there a few years ago (at the time, they still had their President). What to do about it... It cannot be exchanged outside Tunisia... (unrelated, I still have Deutsh marks and Francs...)

  20. Ok, so, I've been told by an Englishman I speak with a Texan accent. If he knew I look like Alex Jones... Annnyyywways, back to work tomorrow. Gotta get mentally ready for the ton of crap that will hit the fan.

    1. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      I was going to ask how an Englishman knows what a Texan accent sounds like, but then I remembered that, whenever they have an American character in a British movie or television show, they always seem to sound like Texans.

    2. DoctorTom

      DoctorTom

      Reminds me of the time I overheard a couple from the deep south making fun of someone with a mild New York accent. Duh!

    3. Tickled_Pink

      Tickled_Pink

      We've seen Dallas, therefore we think we know what a Texan sounds like.

  21. When you have seen all episodes from Wonder Showzen, the creepypasta "Candle Cove", does not seem so scary anymore. Could easily be an episode of WS.

  22. But... first, tonight, for the first time on free TV in France... MYTHBUSTERS \o/ And the first episode they show will be the one with Kari's ass :)

      1st episode - very nice :)

      How do they do American shows there? Subbed or dubbed? Since you know English, do you care? :)

    4. OBO

      OBO

      It's always dubbed for all TV shows and movies. For documentary stuff from Discovery, it's a bit different. It's dubbed but you still hear the original voices behind, however not for the commentator, who is removed and dubbed. The "blue paper" diagrams are re-done with metrics. I do have the complete MB series in English anyway, but it's for my mother, who likes the show, but couldn't see it on TV since Discovery Channel was pulled from the free channels and put in...

  23. And now, I entered the information superhighway high-speed lane with cable internet. I fought 3 hours against that damn cable modem.

    1. OBO

      OBO

      Each time my phone said "Hi !" to the cable modem, it shut down. Damn. Changing the wifi channel to 1 seems to have solved the issue.

    2. Master Phruby

      Master Phruby

      I wouldn't call a cable modem high speed. Your more of the carpool lanes. The autobahn is fiber!

    3. OBO

      OBO

      Well, my town is a big economic center with lot of big firms HQs but unfortunately, the cable company here is not owner of the network but rent it from the town. So, they try and succeed in blocking them from installing fiber until they can buy the network back. It's complicated. And so French.

  24. All I'm missing now is a 5200 and a 1200XL. What a surprise. The French guy misses only the US-only releases...

    1. SoulBlazer

      SoulBlazer

      But I bet you have all the Europe only stuff. :) BTW, I'm happy to re-ship things for you, send me a PM.

    2. OBO

      If you're talking about the 800XE... well.. It has nothing special compared to a 65XE. It even seems "cheaper" in quality.
