    Been like that for a couple of days. The whole thing was up and down the other night and wasn't even pingable. It was around 4-5am so most people prob didn't notice.

    Give me a couple of hours we can have the authority to clear half of Steves stuff and the means for him to get over it!
    Let me make a few calls!

    I also know those type of people, my GF is one of them.
    They've tried but failed to "fix" me before. :rolleyes:

    Are you still doing the paranormal stuff as well? That can be an expensive hobby too.

    Ah! I can't believe there was Breaking Bad discussion and I missed it!

    Was waiting ages for season 5 (as I'm sure the rest of you were too) and didn't realize it started ages ago. So over the last few nights I've had 5 episodes to catch up on in a row. It's been glorious!!!

    There's been some real tragic moments in it lately.

    Did you see the scene when Walt Junior had his bacon taken from him...? that was harsh!

    Yeah, still at it. Not been able to put as much time into it of late and 2 of our members moved to New Zealand.
    It is darn pricey alright if you get all the equipment (which I do because that's just the way I am). But you really only need eyes, ears and a pen and paper and most importantly common sense to do it (as I think you probably know yourself).

    Lucky you! Having to wait a week for each new episode is a pain in the arse. :(

    Yeah accept it seems to only want to belittle them and try and make out that they have a form of OCD.

    It could be worse, we could be watching soaps, x-factor, & jersey shore all day thinking tv has never been better
    Take Jersey Shore out of it and that's all that's ever on the TV.

    My TV. The 42" TV I bought for the purposes of gaming...then there's the UPC package I'm sick of paying for.

    Ugh sooner I clear out my spare and make it a mini cave the better.

    Is there any decent scifi on TV or Netflix these days? Star Trek TNG and Firefly were the only two I liked. Usually end up trying to find decent documentaries instead.

    It's even more expensive when you run paranormal conventions at a massive loss of a couple of grand. :(

    I love Warehouse 13. It's pretty silly but a lot of fun. Think the X-files meets Moonlighting.

    I'm the same. Then I wandered into the world of HTPC's. I havn't turned on my UPC box in months, I only really have it for the little fella...personally there's nothing but bollox on it. F1 would be the only tv I watch on tv per se, everything else is either streamed or put on my HTPC for hd ad-free viewing. My plasma is much happier now :)

    Yeah was only gonna be a matter of time really. As for it devaluing? I don't think so, & now that it has exposure, it may even drive up demand for physical copies as those who now play it in rom format might decide they want the real deal?

    Always pisses me off when someone goes out of their way to crack protection on a homebrew game like this. :( It's pretty low.

    Got my hands on The Last Bandit's Ikea cab this afternoon. Interesting little yolk.

    The monitor is hooked up with VGA, so I'm going to use it as a Dreamcast vertical cab too.

    Actually I went to try that out this evening and could not find a single VGA cable anywhere in the house!

    At one point I thought I'd found one, went to wire it up and it turned out to be an old db9 cable which just happened to look like a VGA one :(

    So is mine. 1 x 28.8E Astra FTA and 1 x 13E Hotbird w/ Al Jazeera Sports card, 8 channels of sport inc. F1. Oh and RTL Switzerland in HD for all the box office boxing cards, in English.

    My plasma whispers quiet thankyou's to me.* :D



    *and hates me when my wife fills up the PVR with PETER FECKIN' ANDRE REALITY SHOWS AND STUPID FECKING REALITY GUFF AND TWATFODDER! :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I have two dishes at my gaf. 1 is an old Sky dish, I replaced the LNB with a 4 port LNB for HD/PVR goodness. My 2nd dish is an 80cm champ, pointed firmly at the mighty Hotbird 13E.

    The Al Jazeera Sports card I bought in the UK. I now renew it every year with a company based in Jordan. :)

    We've no Irish TV in my gaf as we've no aerial (we both prefer the UK channels and we have all regional variations on FTA anyway). I use bunny ears on a separate CRT to watch the Ros na Run omnibus every Sunday but come October I'll have to get Saorview to keep watching it. :(
