I haven't finished watching Breaking Bad yet, but I can't wait until the episode where Walt builds a MoonLab so he can sell his Meth to aliens. That game was fun, although I'm now selling meth at about twice the rate as the entire world economy does everything.

Things you should.not do with a McDonalds or Burger King Burger. An incomplete list:

1. Order them with no topping and then open and look at the meat. Unless you have a craving for ill looking pustulous meat.

McDonalds tastes fucking awesome, almost as good as KFC.

I am a man who will willing eat microwavable burgers and will cook Tesco Value burgers in the oven. I don't think a plain Big Mac would put me off too much.

I also started it up when this was posted and the money is rolling in now - it helped that my machine was just sitting there 'making meth and money' all weekend so grabbed the updated version today and had enough money to buy some of the bigger ticket items (and all the new upgrades) - still only 12 of 14 achievements.

Well yes, but substitute "any question" for "what does BLT stand for" and you'd probably produce the same answer.

Depending on the model i'm pretty sure any PSP can be modded (although you might need to buy a specific game)

A quick Google seems to say the same. I've seen some files that need downloading but I don't know if the links still work. I'll do a bit more digging this evening if I get chance.

I picked up a PSP 3000 a while back and the state of play hadn't changed for years before that. Essentially you can only softmod once the firmware's gone past a certain version but it just means keeping a few files permanently on your memory card. Every time you switch it on you just browse to and execute the sofmod and it reboots the PSP with the custom firmware in memory and you're off. It'll then keep the custom firmware booted until the next time you power the PSP completely off at which point you're back on the official firmware again. A little bit annoying but not really a big deal.

TheVision · **Posted:** Mon Oct 21, 2013 16:47

Thanks Bamba. That's what I read and while it's not ideal, it seems good enough for what I'll need it for. I'll have a play if and when it turns up.

I've no idea what any of that is about and only just skimmed it, but when I was ill and had a day off last Friday I watched the whole series so far of the Great British Bake Off. I'd never seen it before. It wasn't ground shaking but good to wrap up on the sofa with. That Ruby girl was my favourite. I thought she had a good blend of imagination, skill, and the judges seemed to think her food tasty.

I've seen one episode of that and declare it to be TV Gold.

The scouse judge guy is awesome. I liked the Tandoh and wanted her to win, although I can totally see why people get wound up by her - she does seem the "always the centre of attention" type. But hey, it's a TV show.

This is quite funny though: http://usvsth3m.com/post/62904065055/th ... uby-tandoh

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

I, too, want the Tandoh to win.

Anyway, some things I will never, ever, ever, ever understand:

(1) Bicycle clips
(2) Craster
(3) Women
(4) Why old people get blue rinses
(5) The Tories
(6) Craster
(7) The enduring attraction of football
(8) Physics
(9) Why the fucking fucking fuck they cancelled Firefly. It is absolutely the finest TV series ever. Why? WHY? And yes, fine, you cancelled it, but if you can get the money and gumption together to follow it up with a feature film, why not just CARRY ON WITH THE BLOODY SERIES? Particularly when shite like 4400 gets several serieseseses. It's going to annoy me for EVER. It's the main reason I hope there isn't an afterlife, as I can't imagine being sat around until infinity wondering about this, hoping I bump into both Joss Whedon and the TV execs concerned so I can pit them in a one sided cage fight where I set some seriously abused seraphim onto Whedon's side.

Yes, I'm partway through rewatching firefly.

Anyone else really like film soundtracks? I'm one of the few people in our company with an office (I know, I'm totes speshul) but the new CCO next door is a LOUD FUCKER and the design of the adjacent offices mean his infinity-person conference calls on the boom boxes carry through to my office like the VOICES OF GOD (apparently, God's into paradigms). As a result, I stick the old headphones in for most of the day, and I find myself listening to soundtracks - and nerdly nerd boy that I am, this tends to be stuff like Jurassic Park, Star Wars, LOTR, Master & Commander, Skyrim ( I KNOW OK). Failing that it will be Classic FM. I find I can concentrate better with stuff without words. It used to be that didn't matter, so I'd listen to normal music when working or studying. These days though, no words (so not even Seven Brides...). Is it senility setting in?

I know the one about blue rinses.,

Most people's hair doesn't go pure 'white', so will go grey. However, unless you had very dark hair, your hair can often look a kind if dirty colour if you were naturally dark blonde or ginger/red. Blue tones thus down to give a more complimentary colour. In theory.

See, blue should neutralise any red tones and purple should neutralise any yellow/dirty blonde tones (opposite ends of the colour spectrum)

I'm going to dye mine proper bright blue when I'm old. Big old lady Afro in bright blue, please. I'm also going to carry rolls and rolls of Parma violets in a handbag with my free bus pass. It's going to be amazing.

Got bored waiting for the last purchase so accidentally multiplied the amount you can cook and sell per click by 10000 in the javascript and now the numbers don't fit on the screen any more.
