Sorry, post edited. 🙂
Not much has happened since – well you know – the first hit in this Google Search explains it. 😛
Updated the forum’s General Info & Feedback
Yay, a Sierra game, too, my first “true” gaming experience in Windows was strutting the length and breadth of Leisure Suit Larry World. 😛
Was it the remake you played? if you didn’t…[Read more]

Lovely! Last one is region locked, though 🙁

While we’re on the subject, found this way down in the sidebar and it’s a blast from the past!

I seriously need to play Homeworld again 🙂

Saw a few episodes of Avatar but it’s been close to fifteen years since. Not sure I have access now but worth checking. I did enjoy the few episodes I saw 🙂

Yep, Mars Attacks was a fun one even if the human side of things left a little to be desired. 😛

We come in peace! We mean you no harm! *pew pew* 😀

Alright, got Night of the Lepus in the…[Read more]

Another gotcha is is folding bikes were more popular, their parts would be cheaper to make and distribute. Do like the quick release system on bikes, it’s funny that idea was never successfully extended to heavier machinery e.g. wheels on cars. A quick release 20 ton backhoe. 😛
They can work for battery terminals.
Perhaps we are in a silly…[Read more]

Space Age Bachelor Pad music as it was known, or something. For many, Esquivel is an acquired taste, as with many morsels from Zappa, some will refuse to budge on their way through the digestive tract.

They still did when I last took the train to visit my aunt in another state fifteen years ago. Of course, that was an overnighter so luggage compartments were expected. They were on the outside, though, on each carriage and only gave you enough room under the seat for a duffel. Would have liked an actual compartment inside so I wouldn’t need to…[Read more]

Roadhouse had one good quote based on an old theme,- it was the occasion when Red West was asked a seemingly rhetorical question, he replied: Does a hobby horse have a wooden dick?.
Saw the first episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender, it’s very good, though given the glowing reviews, did expect a little more in the graphics detail. The stories…[Read more]

The Lightning Temple was a lot of fun. It had this whole Egyptian pyramid motif with traps and such and even included some Indiana Jones references. It had you running away from a boulder down a tunnel and instead of the snake chamber it had a gibdos chamber 😀

Great!

Wish we had SD card slots still but they no longer ship that configuration to the American market. It makes me sad. They were very useful for handling things like photos taken on the go and other things. 🙁

Yeah, I’d feel nervous about performing that type of surgery too. Don’t want to mess things up!

😛

We have that feature! Shift + Esc brings up a detailed Task Manager with all kinds of statistics! You can right click on the header for even more information. Pretty useful at times 🙂

Yeah, embedding takes up quite a few resources on the client side. The music thread is using 125MB! Outside of limiting how much stuff to post, the best solution…[Read more]

Been too cold for the chickens to produce eggs so I haven’t had the chance to test it again yet. Hopefully it was a one off but we shall find out!

Hmm, may need to try stir-frying bitter melon and see how that goes. Could be an interesting experiment!

😀

Bananas are good!

And don’t forget Carolyn Jones!

Haven’t seen Space Cowboys before but Tommy Lee Jones is usually good at least for a viewing even if his acting doesn’t exactly hold up well for subsequent viewings. Though, Men in Black was an exception!

The Initiation was fun, made more so by the fact that I kept thinking of Princess Vespa in Spaceballs the whole time 😛

They also rather sparingly used the Ken Burns effect on a shot of a car with thugs all shot up towards the finale of Unleashed. 😛

Chrome tabs have memory usage now, there’s an explanation here. Get a feeling we’re moving towards the milestone of a dedicated Chrome memory stats summary page, as distinct from F12 memory which has specific memory…[Read more]

Haven’t seen bitter melon down here, could get it to grow against the wall of the house on a trellis, being an annual vine it will require a fair complement of water and nutrient to get it fruiting though. 🙂
Have the parts for the mixer come through yet? It can be heartbreaking to discard an old and trusty friend just because it’s gone in the…[Read more]

Neville Brand has certainly played many a villain, and Robert Englund, who can forget him? Got eyes on Sanitarium if and when the movie gets here. 🙂
Space Cowboys has not improved over time since the first viewing, in fact decidedly worse, so, despite the search for redeeming features and stellar cast, 5/10 at best.
In Road House, Ben Gazzara…[Read more]

A beautiful world indeed for a Hoochie Coochie Man!

Yes, thankfully, it just required coaxing out with gentle verbal and physical encouragement. 🙂
The tray on the A8 has two bays, one for micro SD and one for nano SIM. Came over with a mild turn of spook-a-loo after watching the video on how to convert a SIN to a nano SIM. These things are so small, you need HP Swiss tweezers and iris scissors as…[Read more]

Sounds great, a piccy of the kit and the up and coming work in progress workshop is very welcome!

Eaten Alive was pretty fun, even if the slasher wasn’t very good at the job description. He had to keep chasing his victims to get them. In most slashers, there’s not really a challenge until the end 😛

It also had a few familiar names!

And The Zero Boys was also a fun one, but a bit too much action flick for my tastes.

Yeah, I always get lost in the new settings setup when I get a new device. There’s always a lot more and some menus aren’t where they used to be 😛

Hopefully the SIM can be acquired with minimal fuss!
