    Cool thanks. Damn shame about your 1 slot. Hopefully it will spur him on to sell those MAK strike things with the jamma edge shaved down a few mm.

    Aye it wasn't so much the MAK as such, the board was toasted already before I sent it but it got damaged in the mail too. The PCB actually snapped so it's wrecked. :(

    Jochen is sending me a new MAK Strike with new connector and attenuation improvements and also taking out the Unibios for me.

    I've sourced a new MVS1-FZ so will hopefully have that next week.

    I see Rising Star and Cave are offering a framed cert from Cave themselves for the top five players on the Death Smiles leaderboard, normal settings. Could be a challenge for the hardcore amongst you :)

    Also, passed by whatever protest was going on outside the Central Bank today - down with EMF, capitalism etc... I just found it somewhat hypocritical that one of the guys was wearing a Gears of War t-shirt.

    You're looking in the wrong place for principles. At any time in the last decade. :pac:

    Genuine crushing disappointment when I listened to this song and it wasn't about bullet hell shooters.

    Which is worse? Battery going dead on a Snes cart and saying goodbye to your lovely best times on F Zero or having to start from scratch on double dash because of a corrupted memory card?
    All I wanted was to drive the bullet car!

    Unsurprisingly enough Dark Souls is starting to annoy me.

    I just can't get the kindling thing to work...

    Can anyone else playing explain what I'm doing wrong? I'm not hollowed, I have 3 humanity in my inventory but whenever I try to kindle the bonfire it tells me I have no humanity!

    By in your inventory do you mean humanity as an item? You need to have a glowy white number (bigger than zero) up in the left hand corner for kindling to work, as I understand it. I've only done it once, and that seemed to work. You have to use the humanity items in your inventory, basically, to actually make any use of it.

    I only found out yesterday what kindling actually does. Now I want to use it all the time. Hmm... ten flasks...
