Awesome. However, if I'd have quoted Python at you - "One of t'cross-beams has gone out of skew on the triddle." You'd have known exactly what I was talking about.

I actually had to look up that quote, but I remember that episode, although not too clearly. But it's the first time I see the whole Flying Circus, so it's no surprise I don't know every episode by heart.

It's the first episode you ever saw? You need to remember it off by heart, like I do:

You missed a treat. But if it helps, they announced that they'll be doing another concert on 17th November 2012 at the Royal Albert Hall. Should be good as they'll be celebrating Final Fantasy's 25th anniversary. Tickets are likely to be going on sale in December.

Yeah, I can spot a few faults on Uncharted 1. My sister has Uncharted 2 down in London but can't seem to find the game for some reason.

I think the biggest thing they fixed was the hand-to-hand system which I always remember feeling very clunky in #1. They also generally cleaned up the game physics so it felt a lot smoother.
I'm currently playing Uncharted 3 and absolutely loving it. Hope you're able to get hold of #2 at some point.

They are touring so there might well be tickets available elsewhere. There is something very cool about hearing tunes that you knew as tinny midi files suddenly expanded into sweeping orchestral scores. They should definitely do it more often and with other games

Level 19, guys. Finally got this...thing as my level icon. Looking forward to the next levels.

A nice double achievement for me today:
I leveled up to Level 18 and ranked up to Captain, which means that I have 14000 B/P points.

Had a bit of a scare this morning. I misunderstood what my mum said and I thought the computer shop near where I live was known for scamming and selling whatever they get from customers. Thankfully that wasn't the case and she was only talking about a place somewhere else. The shop claims they'll have the laptop ready this afternoon and whether they will make it on time or not, I'll be going down there either way.

I'll have to consider going then. Hopefully no big metal band clashes with that date. This show is something my future brother-in-law can easily attend. He's not so keen on metal and the only shows he's seen are Opeth (at the Royal Albert Hall) and Turisas.

I really hope so myself. I'd like to see where the series goes next. If I can't pick it up soon enough, I have COD4, Bioshock 2 and FFXIII to go through. Hey, looks like I might actually need more PS3 games for once, haha. I think those three should keep me good by Christmas but if not, I'll nostalgia some more with the PS1.

Muted, as in what you can do to a trumpet, to change the sound, or reduce it, subtly. Not grabbing the remote and pressing "mute", which stops the sound completely.

gfox, with a weird voice, as if he was holding his nose and talking over a tannoy, that sort of thing.

It would still be a nice number. But most likely I won't stop as 36063 may be nice but has no real significance for me.

Yeah, it's a really good price.

And there goes another game on my "I have to buy that sometimes" list. Problem with this list: It tends to get longer and longer.

So does my list. However, music is far, far worse.

True.

Wait, you're actually avoiding this?

Well, if there was a way to listen to the songs without the Lou Reed parts I might give it a try.

Try this. For the real Lou Reed parts, give this a shot. :P

No, I can blame PAL for it. Had it not been for these shitty formats, we wouldn't have to worry about Sonic and Mega Man music playing slower than they should.

Yet another thing we don't agree with each other. :(

On the other hand, we may finally get somewhere with Manowar... This is the end of Wi/Ht? as we know it.

I could respond with "told you so", but I won't do any "rubbing it in". Instead I wait until your news post. But I may refrain from commenting on it to avoid any "rubbing". ^^

If you "rub it in" because of Joey DeMaio, that isn't entirely new since I knew he was an oddball beforehand. The only ones that find him sane are fanboys that would take orders from a fucking roadie.

It should do - these were the first words spoken by Philip J. Fry in Futurama. Space Pilot 3000 was the episode name.

My favorite ending was where there where policemen grabbing the one talking by the shoulder, and then another policeman grabbed the shoulder of the previous one and so on...

It sounds liek the goons climbing a really tall wall, when 1 puts 2 on his shoulders, 3 climbs on top of them,then 4 does the same. Now 1 climbs up the other three and stands on 4's shoulders and so forth, so they all end up over the wall.

Manilla Road to the World - Part 11: Teacher (Mark of the Beast)

I have my laptop back now. However, the dust and lint covering the fan was not the issue. I'm still experiencing the laptop to crash whenever it feels like and from what I've heard, it may be a fault with the motherboard. If this isn't something the computer shop nearby can do, I may have to get a brand new laptop which would suck since if I had another year of warranty for the laptop, I could easily take it the shop I got it from and I wouldn't have to spend a couple of hundreds of quid just for a new laptop. I do have more than enough money for another laptop, it's a matter of commitment to spend that much just three years after getting this one.

Good thing that's not necessary. They told me if it continues to misbehave, I can go straight back and they can have a further look. However, I will feel like an ass if I say it might be to do with the motherboard and not dust on the fan all along.
