Is that sort of thing insuranceable or do you have to cover that?


I had the brilliant foresight of taking out insurance on the gear for £25 a year. Sorted.

My boss is off on a stag weekend to Amsterdam in a couple of months. The wedding was called off, but everything was booked so they're going ahead with it - don't blame 'em.

Insurance isn't gambling when you know it's a sure thing you'll need it.

Also, I'm getting married at Bestwood Lodge Hotel and that's slap bang in the middle of a council estate. :)

Apparently they were a couple that were always falling out, splitting up and getting back together again. Obvious marriage material. Last time they split up, it was for good though.

"Honey, she was a he"
I was hoping for at least some bestiality.

EDIT - IN THAT STORY.

You can't spell 'bestiality' without 'best'.

:DD Indeed.

Also, my 360 steering wheel just arrived. I haven't been able to get into a single racing game on this console yet; they all feel so removed and gutless with a pad.
I'd love a steering wheel but I think I would be hung, drawn and quartered if I bought any more plastic Xbox peripherals.
Screamadelica is a fine album. Not heard it for yonks.

They come with a free box of wine. Also, they're only £65 delivered next day on Shopto.net, which isn't too bad.

But yes, my room is starting to look a little cramped and ridiculous with all these plastic toys.

edit: and the toy guitars look so cute next to my real ones.

The problem is I'd have to bin all the driving games I've got and buy different ones, as a wheel makes you automatically crap at anything you've already got used to on the pad.

-edit- Off the top of my head I've got:

Midnight Club LA
Burnout Paradise
Baja: Edge of Control
SBK 08
Forza 2
SEGA Rally
Test Drive Unlimited
Flatout UC

I'm not buying a wheel to play with Fatal Inertia and Import Tuner Challenge. ;)

I assumed that using a wheel with Vanishing Point (two Primal Scream references on the same page) on the Dreamcast would make a bloody hard game a fraction easier. I was wrong.
Colin Mcrae:Rally (the first one) was ace with a wheel. The second one, not so much
I bought a wheel the other week as well and I'm shit with it at Forza, but I think this is more down to not being able to find a table that I can stick the wheel on, so I have to have it on my lap.

That and the layout of the pedals seems to encourage left-foot braking and a right-foot loud pedal, which means that I unconsciously push the brake down whenever I change gear using the flappy paddles, thinking it's the clutch.

Will need to weigh it down so I can just use my right-foot for both pedals, and possibly learn heel-and-toe ;)
Or learn to use your left foot? :) Trying to use right on both will be a hiding to nowhere.

Also yeah, don't have it on the lap, an ironing board makes a surprisingly good, height adjustable table.

not for long. (see watchmen thread, re Plissken)

But surely the number of humans currently alive divided by the number of humans ever lived makes it an infinitesemally small number, so as to make it effectively zero?

I'd completely forgotten that I've got an ironing board. There's a Gaming Top Tip for jonarob there.

Actually, some people estimate that there are as many people alive right now as there have been in whole of human history. Sounds fishy to me though

only it was in Japanese with no subtitles, didn't seem to much matter though, awesome film. Proper belly LOLs aplenty.
I watched this last night with subtitles, they don't really help much. Excellent film, possibly even better than 'Story of Ricky'.
I got The Wheel for Christmas. I've had about an hour with it on Forza, in which I could barely travel in a straight line for fifty yards at a time.

So exactly the same as when I'm driving my real car, then.

have just taken that, duds?
I'm glad Gaz got the steering wheel, gives me something else to laugh at! :DD Christ it's funny watching someone on it :D
Just had a quick blast in my lunch-break. It's ace, but it's going to take some getting used to. It's certainly more fun than using a pad, even if I'm not as good, but it's the fun-factor that gaming's all about.

Force Feedback is wonderful.

But will it break your arm if you crash into a tractor, that's the question. If not, then it's clearly insufficient.

I haven't lived there for well over a year, sadly there's not room for that setup here.

The penultimate boss battle with the flying hands is amazing isn't it.

Did you get a steering wheel so you didn't have to play with your crippled arm?

No, it's all part of my physio ;) So are the GH:WT drums. And so I'm immune to hanging, drawing and/or quartering.

I did try playing the wheel with one hand on the top, like a pimp. It didn't really work out, as the front of my car will attest to.

I too will use this post to stay motivated on what I am trying to accomplish in 2009. One of my intended accomplishments for this year is avoiding clicking on links to websites run by irredeemable twats.
Well, http://www.givemeaquid.co.uk is available. I wonder what would happen if I bought it and just put a paypal donate button on there for £1.

Yes, I like this idea. It's bound to pay off.
