    My parents still complain about how slow using the mouse on their new laptop is compared to the nipple on the the old Thinkpad.

    Give me nipples over a trackpads anyday, especially the POS trackpads on all the new Sony laptops :D
    I do like the trackpad on my Macbook air though, not sure i'd trade that for a nipple, depends on the nipple I suppose:eek:

    They just call it the little red yoke don't worry, completely superior to the new yoke (mouse).

    I can understand how some folks would rather the nipple (!) over the trackpad, but bringing a mouse into the equation is madness. I'd love to see someone trying to use one of those nubbin things to play a competitive FPS :pac:

    I was in GS in Swords this morning and spotted rare beastie, a preowned copy of Etrian Odyssey IV for the 3DS.
    Figured I would hold off, as I have a New 3DS and a game or two in my sights in the not to distant future.
    However.
    I actually found a €50 I didn't know I had in the back of the wallet, and let my heart take over.
    Plus, I figured its a rare enough release to find in the wild, and Super Smash Bros and Majoras Mask 3d will be plentiful!

    In typical Ciderman style I have yet to complete the training labyrinth of Etrian Odyssey on the DS! So I might have jumped the gun a bit!

    Was in xtravision earlier and decided to have a look at the games section - they have some 3DS/Wii/360/PS3 games marked at €4 each or 2 for €6. So nabbed these two, originally picked up Metal Gear Rising but he couldn't find it out back unfortunately. Probably a waste of 6 quid but feck it. :pac:

    For 'research' purposes. I'm really interested in the social plights of the girls in senran kagura and how they empower women.

    Rosalina looks like a nice nice design, might be the next one to buy, then a wait for Toad in the coming months.

    I'm tapping into my French connections for msx stuff. My father worked for philips so a lot of my friends there had videopacs or MSX :P .

    but lately I've been telling friends, family and colleagues that I collect retro games -which I have refrained from doing for the past 5 years for some reason.
    Not being subtle about it either :"oh by the way, I'm looking for old sega or nintendo games if you've any collecting dust" (ensues a discussion about my age and the relevance of still playing video games at the above-mentioned age ... )
    most haven't even got an attic but everynow and then they've a game or two, or a console or two :P

    Just got a pretty gigantic crt. I'll put up a pic after work but it has to steel bars that screw into the bottom so its possible to lift it

    Hasnt been turned on in a while though so I'll have to put it in my boiler room for a bit to get rid of any dampness, thats the right thing to do yeah?
