    I went to bed last night to the sound of Mrs Ciderman watching New Girl at full blast, the TV might as well have been in the room with me.
    If I'm playing a game however and see gets a whisper of the squeal of brakes or the report of an auto shotgun and she is the one roaring profanities to turn it down!

    She used to like Duck Hunt, she won a NES long before I met her, but her then boyfriend took it rather badly when she kept beating him, so lets just say it became safer to lose, and so was set her opinion of videogames.
    I am a bit aspergers about it all tbh, my collection is more like a hoard and so, perhaps, she is right to reflect another pov, given that if she was behind it I'd have spent every cent we have on gaming.


    Those kinds of ppl are the worst tbh!
    Why don't you try to surprise her and get a NES with a few games like arkanoid, bomberman, pacman, wild gunman? (Duck Hunt included ofc ;))


    If you are afraid that you might have no one to put a stop on your frenzyness regarding buying games just establish a limit to yourself.

    Hmmm
    I have had a NES in the collection for some time now and she has never wanted to play Duck Hunt at all!
    No, I'm going to try to entice her with Tearaway on the Vita

    Ah, limits, you're assuming I am one of those 42 year old men who can control their appetites.
    Sadly you're mistaken :(
    That said the old credit card is cooling down, slowly but surely.
    I have resisted the temptation to buy all sorts of stuff since Christmas.
    I know its only been a fortnight but little breakthroughs! They mount up!

    At least your trying! Better than nothing. :D
    Instead of wanting to buy everything where you set your eyes upon. Why not choose 1 or 2 and really play it instead of buying and let it pilling up without ever trying it out?

    Or (if i have read it correctly somewhere along this topic) you could always start playing the ones you bought and never got the time to play it...

    You will have to come along to one of the Beers nights in my home and see how meagre my collection is.
    So few games and consoles.
    Don't know how on earth I got to be a mod around here....
    I'm sure that's a question asked by many in these things parts tbh ;)

    Shhh!
    Don't want folk thinking I live in a home packed to the rafters with computers, games, consoles, old CRTs, empty pork pie packets, empty tins of red bull, empty Guinness crisp bags and me in the middle in an unwashed Xbox T-shirt...
    I have to keep some semblance of normality...

    So far any visitors have resisted the temptation to walk away with something, but then I carefully check on the character of those permitted to visit.
    And then, of course, is the cavity search...

    No wonder everyone resists the temptation of leaving with a non-authorized gift! :pac:

    Then we will have to create a secret time and space portal when visiting you! :D

    The fact that 'New Girl' is still on the air while 'Don't Trust the B* in Apt. 23' was canceled is criminal.

    I didn't get as much gaming on over the xmas as I was hoping. Although last week I was trying to introduce Dark Souls to someone, but it was clicking for them but it reminded me how great it is, so I've been playing through that again whenever I get the chance.

    Will be booking a week off work in March for Dark Souls 2 (Although Stick of Truth is out the same week)

    Also, I've set up my Raspberry Pi as a retro system. The plan is to mount it on the X-Arcade so that I can just plug the whole unit into a TV by itself. Have it nicely loaded up with NES roms at the moment and got unreasonably hooked on Bible Adventures.

    Go for it!

    But have a countermeasure plan just in case. ;)

    A panty pantry party for the peasantry?
