You forgot this controller which sucks a$$
Actually, I would agree with you but my son is having a blast using it with Disneyland Adventures.
Sadly there is nothing on the market that would entice me to use it.
Even the killer app for me, or at least the game that was to be the killer app for the Kinect, Child of Eden, turned out to be better played with the controller!0 -

Ok, I agree with you on that. For kids its a whole lot of fun and Child of Eden is indeed (IMHO
)better with the pad.
Maybe Kinect 2 will be better http://kotaku.com/5933549/rumor-first-leaked-kinect-2-image-shows-fingers-and-head-patting0 -
Latest Retro Gamer mag cover.
I kind of get a kick out the Astro Wars pic as I was just playing my one the other day. I know a few peeps here have one as well so hopefully the article is interesting on it.
This month’s Retro Gamer features a world exclusive feature about some of the most important electronic games to ever get released. We’ve spoken exclusively to Chris Rycroft, the co-founder of Grandstand to discover the origins behind Astro Wars, Caveman, BMX Flyer and other classic handheld games.
We also celebrate the Commodore 64’s 30th anniversary, speak to the key developers of the Amiga’s shareware scene and catch up with Andrew Braybrook to discuss the creation of his hit C64 game Uridium.
If that wasn’t enough, there’s an interview with Keith Hamilton, the lead designer of Grand Theft Auto, an exhaustive look at some of the PC Engine’s best and quirkiest games, as well as the best Nintendo games that you’ve never played.0 -

It's amazing the amount of addictions you can fit into a day if you only sleep 3-4 hours
I'm not really big into WoW to be honest. I usually play it for a few weeks each year and then give up as its just too time consuming.0 -

I dont know how he does it. I usually get 6 (maybe 5 and a half at worst). Any less than 6 and I can't function for most of the morning in work. Feel like I'm hung over or something similar. Concentration is more or less at zero.
I do catch up on sleep every so often. Like tomorrow I'll have a nice lie in as I've only slept about 8 hours in the last 3 days.
I've been to the doc about this and seen specialists and all that lark over the years. I just don't need more sleep.
When I do need more sleep I usual have it but on average its shocking low amounts to most people.
But on the plus side I do my best work between 3 and 5am 0 -

I'm the exact opposite! Total night owl. I'm a troll in the morning. Luckily for everyone I work with I've about an hour commute to wake up somewhat. If I was living closer and didn't have that I'd be like a moody teen with everyone for the first hour or soI do catch up on sleep every so often.

I've read that some people just don't need as much sleep as others. I guess it's a good thing, as it means you spend more of your life conscious!
I was really wreaked after a stressful week in work and slept from 3am till 3pm this afternoon. Could have slept longer but I felt I was wasting the day.0 -

I walk to work most days, so that wakes me up very quickly0 -

The ceilings are high in the house, so you need to stand up on a chair to reach them. I dragged a chair out to the landing (also to note, it was missing the seat part so I had to try to balance on the wooden frame) and managed to get the smoke alarm open in my sleepy daze.The Great Chinholio wrote: »Why do you have this chair?!

Any of you into Urbex (Urban Exploration of old/abandoned sites)? Was looking through 28dayslater.co.uk & seen a thread about Pontins holiday center in the UK. Look whats just sitting there

I know that holiday park! :eek:
In fact I used to go there quite often as a youngster, adolescent, teenager-that-just-discovered-beer-and-20/20. There is a 90% chance I've actually played on that cab and cleared the game.
Even back then it was £1 a credit. A bottle of 20/20 was about the same though... :rolleyes:
Didn't know the Pontins closed down though. There were stacks of arcades in Hemsby, my friend was stabbed in the face outside one of them in fact... True story, thought I'd share. 0
