Can I maybe have your sofa Audioboxer? Nice pad by the way.

I love the way the guitar hero guitar and the real one are next to each other, reminds me of a conversation I had with a stranger who seemed to think that to be a musician you didn't need a real instrument, just GH or Rock Band. :pinch:

Thanks, I just need to get the room painted now (can't wait.... moving everything out of it :pinch:) and buy some stuff to put on the walls. I need a new light as well, just have a bulb hanging from the ceiling just now - No shade :p

:laugh: I'm a bit of a noob on guitar, I'm not bad. Some of my friends who are really good though, find it HARDER to play GH or RB.

Put it this way, you can be amazing at real guitar and suck at RB/GH, however if you haven't touched a real guitar and think because you're amazing at GH/RB you can play, you'll find out otherwise ;)

Ah very nice

Yeah it's a sweet case!

Got it in Target in America for $15 I think.

Hehe, yeah - I was just nodding to what he was saying, "If you think about it, those colours are coming darn fast and there are FIVE buttons that you have to keep your eye on!" :yes: alot harder than playing chords (or even strings!) on a guitar, eh?

I play guitar aswell, well...I say play - now and again I'll pick it up and play the alton towers theme tune, the metal version ofcourse.

AND I'm demanding a picture of the lone bulb!

That pretty much sums me up lol :laugh:

Oh wow the case is a lot bigger than it first looked. I take it, it holds games inside too yeah?

Think I'm just gonna rip it out and get a light strip with three spotlights. My room is dull as anything when the blinds shut.

I'm probably better at GH than Guitar :( Haha...

Yeah games and the charger.

Charger too? Nice

Oh and we reached 100 pages :woot:

My DS has an american wall charger as I bought it over there. It's really compact, but yeah you need a UK adapter :pinch:

I have a USB charger though which I keep in there as well.

:/

:laugh:

Oh wow, I even got a thumbs up. I'm using a lightstrip above my desk, only problem with them is that I can't change the direction which they point, unlike my ceiling which has spotlights. :)

Yeah, I'll get spotlights I can move around.

TV shows :laugh:

Nice setup!

Jeeeez I really have to learn how to use a bloody digital camera without blurring everything. I genuinely think I don't have something turned on I should. My hands are rock steady :pinch:

I've mastered everything bar cameras it seems (im not a very arty person), and when photos are being taken I'm never the one taking as I'm usually too drunk to be :laugh:

Yeah I'm far from camera pro either, but these are just taken with my IXUS. Leave the good shots for my 350D.

Two more shots cause I'm bored..

Handhelds with my less than glamourous DS case :p Gets the job done though

And my babies..

:wub:

What game is R4? It any good?

heh heh, it's pretty damn good ;)

No snake figure for me :( Thinking about buying the 12" one though at some point. I want a lot of Halo 3 ones still too.

Yup, two LE's of Bioshock. First one was damaged (the very tip of the drill was broken, but I fixed it. Thank god for my brief interest in Warhammer :laugh:) so I was sent a replacement. Not opening it though :heart:

Dirk asked me where I bought my table so I thought I'd share the answer here.

Where else but Ikea? lol

LINK

Had a little accident involving LOTS of alcohol, loud music and two girls in just their underwear and high heels (what a night), hence the need to do something with the top of the table. (the top is hollow, with a honeycomb centre, like a door)

I had to get a piece of glass cut (toughened and frosted) which cost more than the bloody table. Think it was ?90 delivered.

Then I bought some LED lights and some stones from B&Q. similar to these... LINK (But smaller and a lot cheaper)

I cut out a rectangle in the top layer of the table, and removed the honeycomb stuff, then I cut up an old bit of plasterboard so that it would just fit into the hole. Also made a small hole through the bottom layer of the table top, for the wires from the LED's to go through. They go into a junction box that stays under the top of the table.

Then I drilled out some holes in the plasterboard for the LED's to slot into.

Lay the "LED Board" into the table, sprinkle with stones, and top it off with the glass.:))

Wish I had taken more photos of the process, but these is about it really.

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
