Use a whiteboard marker and draw a penis going into their mouth on the screen.

We were also considering dressing the robot up during various festive periods.

The other question we want an answer to is the range of the thing; taking the New York robot for a tour round Manhattan is an enticing prospect.

And be competitive online against mouse/keyboard players?

So all i have played recently 'competitively' in this way is Black Ops II and at that stage I had put a ridiculous amount of time into it on the 360 already so that may have skewed the results but I would still one of the top players in competitive modes and be the top player in groups when playing Zombies - that could well be more to do with muscle memory and experience than anything else (and I did try to play zombies with keyboard and mouse but I really couldn't get a handle on it)

We're assuming we could just ask other people in the lift to do it for us. Would you deny the heartfelt request of an iPad on a stick?

I've played Titanfall and it's glorious but there's no chance I'll be getting an XBONE to play it, though. Shame really.

I'm thinking i'll go PC on it - I already have Origin stuff so its not a big deal to me although it seems to be a big deal to Neogaff that its an EA released game and so will come out on EA's shop

But historically any third party developed games that are published by EA haven't required Origin. Look at Kingdom of Amular, the Rock Band series, Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 etc. This is setting a precedent.

I had to laugh at BBC news earlier, "this train line is the main line to Cornwall and it now means that Cornwall is essentially cut off from the rest of Britain, especially by train!" Orr, only by train. And frankly, you'd think they'd be happy.

Thems train, top road or bottom road. Now only top and bottom road.

Never use bottom road, mind.

You would go past my house if you did...

Apparently the Tamar Bridge was down to one lane on Wednesday, so it was pretty shit on the bottom road too.

The Erme (the river that runs through Ivybridge), was flowing quicker than the cars on the road on Friday, it's the fastest I've ever seen it (apparently it's the 2nd fastest flowing river in the UK or somesuch.

The flood plain in Exeter is the wettest I've ever seen it too.

Oh, and my bus in the morning/evening is even more packed than other as it's quicker than the rail replacement (more direct) between Exeter and Plymouth.

ITV had a news reporter down in Somerset earlier called Dan Rivers.

Fucking brilliant.

I just spent an hour on gtav trying even more complex plans to obtain a fire engine and getting nowhere. Then mrsa suggested I call one. Felt stupid. However I did enjoy riding around on the train shooting things.

Headline of the day, from the local newssite:
'Sledders Re-buffed'

From http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/109938 ... re_buffed/

Quote:

An Oxford University contestant narrowly missed out on the chance to represent Britain in the Naked Sledding Championship 2014.

Language student Francis Thomas took third place in the public vote, behind the two Brits heading to Germany to sled down a mountain wearing nothing but pants, boots and a helmet.

Presumably to allow you to use a Cyrillic OSK? Using Google.co.uk it's pretty damned likely you're going to be using a character set that matches the keyboard you're using, that may not be the case if using the russian site.

Someone asked "What's it like to have a photographic memory" on Quora. Here is part of one chaps answer:

Quote:

But what people don't understand Is that unlike their memories, my memory doesn't put any more weight on one memory than another. Most people only remember what their brain deems is important. I remember everything. Driving to school everyday is considered as important as my most treasured memories. My brain doesn't stress anything. To find a memory, I have to look through a lifetime of memories. Memories that include reliving memories. I remember remembering. Needless to say this makes thinking confusing.

Here's the question if you want to read the answer in full: http://qr.ae/hBbt9

What percentage of serial killers have photographic memories?

I'd find that sort of experience ... disturbing, to say the least.
