As a footnote to it all, I had an apologetic eBay message over the weekend from the original seller. She'd genuinely got mixed up between me and another bidder. I assume someone had chanced their arm asking them to cancel the auction and sell it to them instead and she thought that was me. Still, it all worked out ok.

Now, let's see if I get any trouble over this auction next.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Snatcher box was empty or something.

<1127.15> needs to be added to my total. I've bought lots and lots of things. Mainly Switch games, a £200 Megadrive bundle, a new 3DS and plenty of others. If you're that interested, I'll send you my spreadsheet.

Tell me about these bongos. Is there a bongo game to bongo along too?

myp · **Posted:** Mon Nov 27, 2017 19:17

Yep, Donkey Konga

Wasn't it Jungle Beats or something? I liked it pre-Guitar Hero but the covers were sometimes a bit odd, or there was only 2 mins of a song.

Have you considered unloading your useless shit and finding a smaller place as a solution to house buying challenges?

TheVision · **Posted:** Mon Nov 27, 2017 19:58

I would have been tempted by the bongos but then remembered that I've recently sold a couple of sets on ebay to bring my own total of bongos down to two sets.

I do love Donkey Konga.

I have 3 airs of bongos, and the games Donkey Konga, Donkey Konga 2 and Donkey Konga Jungle beat.

And it aears the key to the right of the 'o' key no longer works in firefox for some reason... Odd. Fill in is aroriate above.

There is NO FUCKING WAY I am being lectured on the subject of "hanging on to useless shit" from you, of all people.

(More serious answer: I ditched about 75% of my gaming tat before moving to London, I have a few boxes in our attic but if they made the difference on a house I'd ditch those too.)

Ah, but I don't have useless shit. I have useful shit that I'm far too lazy to move. Entirely different.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

You ditched 75% but figured you'd better hold onto all those bongos?

I never got into it for some reason. I guess drumming games aren't my thing - I used to have Taiko no Tatsujin for the PS2 and the controller (after getting stung with import duty on the damn thing) and only played it once before selling it on.

It’ll probably be an improvement over Genital Jousting.

Myp was saying the other day “I want a brown dick in my butt”.

I’d turned the game off an hour ago.

Dishonored 2 DLC expansion - 'Death Of The Outsider'

Few quid cheaper from G2A than Steam's £19.99 with only a modest amount of support for Russian gun-runners included. *

Borderlands 2 / Dishonored / DOOM / Dishonored 2 / Max Payne 3 - I have realised they are the kinds of games I really like and can be bothered with these days. GTAV gets a pass for its world and characters and story and music, despite the mechanics of the game being a bit clunky. Everything else on the list is just so lovely and smooth.

* Allegedly.
