    Hey folks - does anyone know of any other places that sell this kind of spiral band wrapping stuff? http://www.arcadeshop.de/Connectors-Spiral-Band-4-mm_894.html

    Yeah, I got some in Maplins last year when I was wrapping a couple of cables into one. I don't remember how much it was but you get a load of it in a pack.

    Thanks chaps, it would actually cost more to drive in and get it from maplins than arcadeshop and it's min shipping charge so will just stick with that unless I find it elsewhere.

    Well, there's a Maplins in Blanchardstown, just over the West-Link, that's not too bad is it?

    I probably should go to bed, but there's a copy of Dark Souls sitting there, and it feels like it's staring at me. I can't look away. Maybe just an hours worth...

    I think it may be the game of this console generation. Well second after Bayonetta, but still.

    I know of a Doom lover who reckons that a game begins and ends with it's heavy metal soundtrack....


    And emergent gameplay! ;)

    Oh, finished Portal 2, one of the most enjoyable times spent on consoles this gen, a lot of handholding, yes, but so, so funny, I have the soundboard on my phone so I can listen to Cave Johnson, GladOS and Wheatley any time I want, not to mention "I AM NOT A MORON" as my message notification...
    which is nice.

    I applaud the person who can stick to one single platform. I really do. It's just not possible.

    Well, I did some investigating and this is what I found out about this most rare of breeds Hipsters...

    The Illusive Hipster, be safe, be aware...


    I have a nasty feeling that Dinorex might be one of these "Hipsters", I have seen him wearing a hat at inappropriate times, namely not the 1950's!

    Something great about a massive tool coming along and making the forum a hive of fun activity again!

    Massive Tool

    I have a Trilby.

    I also have two Girls records on my IPod (Girls are hipster cocaine)

    I ate in Crackbird last night, followed by a seated indie singer songwriter gig in the Sugar Club.

    OH GOD NO! SELF REALISATION!

    I tried to listen to Girls. Gave one of their highly acclaimed albums a listen to and other than the first song on the album it was really bland. Always approach pitchfork recommendations with an air of trepidition or you'll end up with album like this:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRAhGG8Xkp4


    Thesound quality in that is fine, the song is just ****!

    I only like the first song on Album, have listened to the rest maybe once and snore.

    Second one is better, but I tend to listen to good music instead. Metal mostly.

    I'm not hip... I'm just horribly old fashioned and dress like a geography teacher.

    Yep that's the one, Album. Must check out the second album then. I'm out of the loop with hipster music since I stopped listening to phantom.

    I must confess to listening to hipster crap although I certainly don't limit mmyself to it.

    I hate hipsters that give hipsters a bad name. No I don't hate the Kings of Leons new stuff because they sold I out, I hate it becuase it's ****e!

    The second album Broken Dreams Club sounds more like something from the 50s!

    Youre not missing anything on Phantom. They just play LCD Soundsystem 24 hours a day.

    And Kings of Leon are and always were ****.

    Better listening to game soundtracks instead!

    I guess, whatever does it for ya I suppose. No judgements here :D


    On the whole hipster thing, from my experience with them I would need to lose about 2 stone to become one as all hipsters appear to max out at about 13 stone.

    If you're over that weight you are not a eligible to become a hipster.

    Plus, I'd rather stab myself to death with a soup spoon than wear skinny jeans.

    I don't think my music tastes could ever give a description of what I'm like!

    Highlights of my itunes library include:
