    Well, it's official.
    My home is a plague house...

    I have had a chest infection all over the Christmas followed by a lousy cold and no, I'll repeat, no sympathy whatsoever from my better half.
    Then my son goes and selfishly contracts chickenpox.... :(
    Poor little blighter...
    He only managed 4 hours of Skylanders today! Wait til he's fit and well!

    So, there goes any hope of turning up tomorrow, don't want to spread this to any retro gamers out there!

    In a similar vein there was Stunrunner which was good fun too.

    And then there was also a 3rd Chase HQ game that no one seems to really remember except for me.
    I always thought Lucky and Wild was from a chase hq game.

    It isnt.

    We could have a pox party... anyone need to catch it? I've never had it... but I think I'm immune as my mother had it when I was in the womb... That may account for all my crippling personality defects as well.

    Know the feeling!
    I've had 2 colds within the last 2/2.5 weeks! Never had 2 together so close,
    this time I've a phlemgy cough, although I feel much better this evening,
    hopefully I'm getting rid of it.

    I put it down to the fluctuating changes in temperature,
    as I both started out with a sore/dry throat, which usually happens when there's sudden changes in temperature, I find.

    That assumption is based on if you're more likely to catch a cold when you've a sore throat.

    Enough about the underwear, what will you be wearing around your neck? ;)


    (That mental image should get a barf or 2 from the regulars,
    thankfully I do not know what you look like so I'm immune to mental images! :p)

    Well well well...

    I managed to download imame4all from iTunes during the brief window before it was pulled.
    Downloaded some "files", for testing purposes you understand, and of the some 2,000 of them they worked great.
    Happy days.

    Then I find out that I may be getting a certain add on for the ipad2 that will enhance the arcade experience! Awesomesauce to the max!

    Then I have a check of the device this morning, just to have a quick blast and...

    IT'S GONE!

    She deleted it because she thought it was a violent game, given the use of the word make in the imame4all...
    I pointed out that it was "mame" not "maim" to which I got a prolonged "Oohh " sound as she realised her transgression.

    So, to recap, I'm getting the best arcade add on the Ipad will ever see, from my missus, and she deleted the needed app, thinking I was leaving dismemberment by chainsaw simulators on the ios desktop...

    And its home I go, to jailbreak the frakker!
    I'm not going to quit now!

    Buy a twin sit down Daytona & plant it in the living room too. Tell here every time she touches your stuff, it means another cab. She'll soon stop.

    Sync the iPad to your computer. You should get the app back.

    No, I'm no lover of testicles, you've got the wrong guy!
    Well, actually I am fond of hanging onto my own, if the wife would ever let me have them back... :(

    Oh, more news on the imame4ever front.
    Didn't return, as if by magic, upon syncing, so thanks for that and I have an ipad whose ios, 5.0.1, isn't jailbroken yet....
    Hopefully it'll be done by January 13th.. But knowing my luck not likely :(

    Attitude Adjuster?
    She doesn't call it that,
    she refers to it as the Ole Painful, at least she does as shes bringing it down to smack me on the head...

    EDGE (not the magazine) is on sale on Steam for the next few hours. Really terrific game, very surprised at how much fun it is. Kind of like a cubed Kula World with flashier art design and a bitchin' retro-inspired soundtrack.

    That Nomad battery box mod breaks some of the laws of thermodynamics, I'm convinced of it :D
