    Facebook did that to my girlfriend's Android. Totally messed up her phone book. Don't like it at all.

    Cool, I'll ask my girlfriend if she's up to doing a copy of it on canvas.
    I think that would look nice on my man cave wall :)

    Although she's changing from acrylics to oils this weekend after much consideration and Bob Rossification so it might not be the best time to task her with it.

    I asked her to do a painting on my Egret 3 before but she reckons its very boring subject matter :(

    Jeebus I hope you meant "of"? :eek:

    No idea what Nyan Cat is. Someone misspell "cyan"? :D

    Internet or Nickelodeon? :p

    On a separate note; three of the Legacy of Kain games are under €3 each on Gog. Tempted to get the first one as I've never played it on PC, really liked the PS1 version all those eons ago. Think I read on the main Games forum that it plays pretty good with keyboard & mouse. Anyone here play it on PC?

    /Edit: Here's a link of the games on sale.

    Way better on the PC. It's higher resolution and the load times won't suck the will to live from you.

    Haha, yeah I meant "of" :)
    If she starts to paint "on" the Egret 3 I'll be having some issues with that. It's bad enough she turns it into a karaoke machine from time to time :(

    Why is it that the PS3 will let you log into PSN and buy a PS2 game, download it onto the system hdd and play it from there when it won't let me play my PS2 collection straight off?

    I mean, the software emu in there, the only thing that isn't there is the ability to read the game from the Bluray drive.

    This is a drag, a real drag, after being pampered by my 60gb PS3 in the past.

    Yeah, well, they are a bunch of lousers to be sure.
    It's like deep down they don't care about gamers, rather more interested in business and turning a profit!
    Have you ever heard the like!
    That said the Vita seems as popular as bowel cancer, you know someone who has it but are relieved not to have it yourself, but you know that the chances are good you'll get it eventually...
    In this respect I don't feel they have quite gotten the hang of this hardware development malarkey.

    I don't mind that its obviously primarily a business, but sheesh, a company doesn't need to have a Bell End business model to succeed

    Finally got 4 Gameboys, 4 link cables and the cube with Zelda four swords adventures set up in a friends house.

    Beers ready all four of us were beyond disappointed when one of the cables turned out to be faulty :( and so the wait to play 4swords continues :'(

    I bought it new in 2005 yet still have never even played more than 5 minutes. Going to pick up a replacement cable and hopefully it will arrive by Friday.
    Waiting for a reply from this guy. Crystal chronicles and a lead, killing two birds one stone :)

    You should of just come to mine on Friday, 8 player Mario Kart DD... disappointment... no LAN router thingy.... 4 player MK DD instead...
    I think that hand beats your Four Swords!

    Plus we had all the cables and Four Swords here!
    You could have played that at least!

    The best thing is they got a voice actor that sounds just like Skeletors original voice actor.

    I tried the demo yesterday and sort of liked it. Definitely better than RE5 anyway.

    I played the first two sections of the demo and despised them.

    I started playing the third a few days later out of curiosity but was so apathetic near-instantaneously I just exited straight to dashboard and watched Archer instead. I regret nothing.

    :'( we couldn't even play MKDD as I only brought one controller, we settled for some warioware using the controller and 3 GBAs. I have high hopes for four Swords... I really really do.

    Yeah, it's pretty good, Dinorex has a boxed copy, which is nice....

    You should get up to one of our Beers nights, they are a blast and even if the stars don't align for a good night of 8 player MK:DD something will be stirring!
