  1. San Francisco

    Japan Town is a nice quiet area to stay, and as far as I could tell the rates weren't too high because it's at least 20 mins walk from the financial district. IIRC, Hotel Tomo had big, well fitted rooms for about $90 a night when I was there in February a few years ago, I'm sure they'll have gone up by now though. Things I would recommend are: The Pirate Supply Store I've failed to visit twice now, which has been recommended to me by friends who have been. The De Young Museum simply for its incredible architecture; there are also the Japanese tea gardens just next door. If you enjoy physical activity it's well worth renting a decent mountain bike and heading over the Golden Gate bridge into Marin County for a day (Beware of being overly ambitious though: I managed to get to Muir woods and back mostly off road, but it was an 11 hour round trip with only 9 hours of it in daylight :/). Some absolutely ace downhills up there though There's also a co-op bakery off 9th and Irving called Arizmendi's, which does very good food. It's near the city end of Golden Gate Park.
  2. The Spike VGA thing... Trailers!

    At the end of this video he says it'll be the last time he plays him, speaking about the first Arkham Asylum. He seems to find the gritty setting and violence a bit distasteful.

    Want QOTSA Rock Band :/ (Edit: Though I see a couple of my favorite songs have been done as DLC) More Batman: Not surprising, but woohoo

    Good to meet you too How was City?

    I'll come out for a few Not fancied Rock City since they started playing Kylie about 8 years ago though
  6. Merry Christmas, Thumbs!

    I really want to know what you were so embarrassed about that you had to black out the first two tabs there, elmuerte

    Cool. I really can't remember where I got that impression from, it might even have been people just telling me it sucked. Whatever it was, consider me corrected.
  8. Life

    Scrobbs was recommending that to me a few weeks ago too. I avoided it because of poor reviews, thinking it would pee all over my fond Amiga memories of Stardust, but I should give it a look.
  9. goty.cx 2009?

    Every one of those needs an acronym, and a long-winded feature article to go with it too
  10. goty.cx 2009?

    As well as making the naming of decades much easier
  11. Mostly it's fine, that one race is the worst I've ever seen it. Netcode can get funny with carjacking and ladders sometimes, at worst making both impossible. It's not frequent though.
  12. That was fun, especially the brothers blix turning my firetruck into a roadblock with me still in it, then blowing just about everyone's firetruck up at once. For some reason my internet went crappy for the last race at Star Junction, so I could mostly only hear occasional syllables of chat and cars were warping all over the place. What I did see of the chaos with buses was hilarious. I was two corners away from the finish line, still in the original truck, when one of you managed to set it on fire :0

    I have been careful not to drink that when we're out. It doesn't agree with me anyway Maybe this remix of the Stella logo makes it clearer for non-English people?
  14. Google Wave

    Likewise, it's given me 24.
  15. Life

    I'm finding the downside of dating a girl who does martial arts is that her arms and legs are always covered in bruises, which is fine, except for the looks it occasionally draws...
  16. Oh fuck yes, happy day! :tup::tup::tup: () :tup:
  17. goty.cx 2009?

    Can't believe I forgot Machinarium and Flower! Still Batman for me too though :0
  18. Cave Story

    :tup I also heartily recommend Cave Story. Beautiful game.
  19. Annoying gaming news site headlines

    Custer's Revenge Sexually Assaults iPhone
  20. I won't be there, since I only get to spend about 7 hours at home this week in total.
  21. Bargains

    It's like I always say:
  22. Bargains

    Cancelled by Tesco. My boss said the pricing mistake was made in stores as well, so people were picking it up for that much over the weekend. Arse biscuits.
  23. Bargains

    That product page has disappeared, but my order is still showing up when I log in. Judging by the way my bank account behaves when payments are due, they're about to take the £15 too.
  24. Movie/TV recommendations

    The Thick Of It is one of my favorite things. Series 3 has had some fantastic episodes, especially Malcolm having set tos with the Tory spin doctor and Nicola.
