    This is a forest, go find an unoccupied shrub out the back, and be careful it's not a Deku Scrub, they really don't like getting p1ssed on!

    There's a guy on the retrogamer forum that's not happy with us for calling AvP on the Jaguar a Wolfenstein clone on the podcast. Poor guy must have sold his Amiga for a Jaguar back in '93 :P

    That is a bit of an insult to Wolfenstein, in fairness.

    Must be a tough job for the Hyrule Central Bank maintaining a stable currency. People just throwing money away, and anyone can make a fortune if they're willing to spend a bit of time breaking other people's pots and plants.

    Probably a Communist government.

    Sounds more like the Irish and the Greeks to me....

    But, hey, no prostituting chickens ok, it's just not ok, plus no one will eat the eggs afterwards.

    I was just experimenting.

    On the plus side today in work I got to sit outside in the cafe and eat salad while I got my picture taken. I'm now officially a model.

    Naughty Dog, not sure I can really take them as any kind of retro developer.
    Plus, Way of the Warrior on the 3DO was one of those really rare sh1te games on the system.

    They made a few Apple 2 games and Rings of Power on the Megadrive which is ****ing awful but has the one notable feature of sneaking in boobies if you enter a cheat code.

    It was a good article in fairness.

    The one about the first Crash Bandicoot a few months ago was great. Painfully average game but very interesting development. Gave me a new found appreciation for the coders of the game.

    This weather is ideal for car boot sales. Best thing to do is be arrive before 9am, the nicest bits are usually gone early.

    The first few hours are a baptism of fire, but then it clicks and you realise you're playing a masterpiece, even if it can be cruel & unusual at times. But honestly, I think once you adjust to its rules, it's not as hard as it has been made out to be, with a couple of exceptions admittedly.

    I really hate this weather.
    All those on Facebook posting pictures of scenery in the sunshine? Go die in a hole!

    And work just gets ten times harder in the heat, tempers fray a lot easier and folk can get hurt.

    I can't wait til winter!

    I'm looking at photo's of the snow a couple of years ago and wishing I was there!

    Think I'll play through Lost Planet and 1080 Snowboarding, just to cool down!
    Certainly this is no time for anything set in a desert or other hot places, so no Journey, Uncharted or GalGun for me!

    It's our first proper summer in years, quit giving out, get your suncream on and go tan that pasty skin!!! :pac:

    I too don't really like the sun as much as others, but the overall vibe the warm weather brings is fantastic - sure beats the usual overcast doom and gloom.

    This is why sometimes its good to read the instructions :o

    Took my new drone/quadcopter out for it's first proper flight today and it crashed quite spectacularly(my new GoPro captured the drama quite well). Not a mark on it luckily and I was flying it within 10 mins of finding it. Cut myself to pieces getting through the thorny bushes and all sorts of nasty nature to find the damn thing though.

    Turns out its quite important to calibrate these things before flying them in the wind :D

    Lesson learned for me anyway.

    I love the nice weather, been swimming or out every night this week.

    I did get to sit down to play lollypop chainsaw last night though. Really is a nice little "popcorn" game. Not too hard and bit of a larf to play through.

    I got this one from http://radiocontrolledshop.ie/
    I think it was the last Phantom in stock in Ireland until more arrive from DJI but you might be lucky and find one. The Phantom has become very popular with the amateur and even pro aerial photography crowd so its always in high demand. It's a great machine to mod and upgrade as well and I've already got my eyes on some sweet flight and cam mods and upgrades.
    If you get one make sure to grab a "GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition" as thats the ideal camera for it.

    If someone is only starting out with quad copters maybe get a cheap one to begin with. You'd want to spend about 100 Euro on a Nano QX or something like that before putting down a much larger investment.
