    "God I'm old" moments

    I constantly defend my older sister that Mastermind is still a great quiz show, it's been around for 40 years or more, and I'm 18. I also remember watching Thomas & the Magic Railroad when I was 7, god I'm old.

    Buy used? Can't complain.

    I understand why companies have problem with used games, but I don't see why people don't buy a new copy when it's...you know, new. I only buy a used game when I can't find a new copy of it so if the game is out of print then it isn't that much of a loss to the developer.

    I think a better definition of Vigilante is someone who enforces the law, without following the law itself. You can stop, catch or take down criminals who commit or attempt theft or murder, but you would go as far damage of public property, unlawful use of lethal weapons or direct murder in...

    Calling all Self Catered University students

    One my mum taught me, when making pasta, as a cost effective alternative, instead of buying and using pasta/bolognese sauce, mix some chopped tomatoes with tomato purée and gravy granules with your vegetable mix to get a thick and tasty sauce. Oh and I found that you can microwave meat pies...

    your last game purchase? was it worth it?

    Dream Trigger 3D for 3DS. It's a weird shooter and difficult to get into at first. But the 3D is really good and there is a lot to do.

    Just watched Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone again, and wow...

    To quote the Nostalgia Critic from the Secret of NIMH 2 review: "Well maybe Hogwarts isn't that great a school. What was the child mortality rate of that place now? Hell, they drown students as a form of sport!"
