    Very laudable. All the best with that initiative, the amount that is thrown away is disgusting.

    I've heard (a.n.other) supermarket deliberately spoils their food before chucking it - possibly to avoid legal issues, possibly just so that ppl can't eat for free.

    There are already charities in various areas that cater (ahaha) for this kind of thing, and I'm sure they'd love to talk to a civic minded gentleman such as yourself.

    That's interesting, I hadn't really thought about the fighting being something that had changed in Arkham City. What was it that made you find it improved? Is it the introduction of more gadgets into it? Those are somewhat entertaining, though I'm not sure I have them all yet and frequently forget to use them if I'm finding a fight difficult.

    I found that it flowed a lot more pleasingly. Perhaps they had widened the timing window to make it easier!

    The quick gadget actions definitely helped here - maybe the greater variety has given the illusion of better fighting, and my perception has been successfully fooled! Even if so, it has worked, because my perception is all that matters when I'm playing it :)

    Just as an aside, Sin, everywhere seems to say Vita has better battery than 3DS.

    Otherwise, I think you've nailed it - instant gaming is catered for on my iphone/ipad amply. The game quality is rising all the time and is staggering. The DSlite came at a time when these were not around, and did it well: instant boot & load near enough. Also, I was a little disappointed to see the price point of Vita games - 25-40 GBP.

    In addition, I've moved towards only carrying 1 device: At one point I had my T39, my iriver H320 and my PSP to lug about. Now it is merely my phone, and I'm unwilling to go back!

    Just finished Drake 3. Great game, shame about the ending. In fact, was pretty much the same as the ending to the 2nd one. I think 2nd was my fave, the story was mega. The story in the 3rd was good (by other game standards) by mediocre by it's own high ones.

    Enjoyable.

    Batman:AC - very good game, also very enjoyable. Fighting much improved.

    Pretty sure I've read that it's region free. Is anyone more certain of this than me?

    I'm off to Japan very shortly... And will be back before UK launch date. If they are, I reckon there might be an ebay premium for folk who MUST HAVE IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

    Failing that, might get one for myself, if they are cheap enough. Heard that there are discounts...

    Took Westie out today - first time since it was broken and been fettled. Bit chilly, but lovely sunshine. Fucking mint. Roads were a bit greasy, wheels were spinning in 3rd under hard acceleration, making the vehicle snake down the road a little. Exciting and no mistake!

    If you make it to La Manc, I will try to make it up to see ya, as I'm only 3/4 hr away. Failing that, if you're in London, there's a chance I may be. Outside one that though.

    In other news, the Westfield has been a learning experience. The day after I brought it back, was a grand day - drove it solidly, scaring the wife, plus exciting other passengers. Then it started acting up - a chap 2 miles from me up the road has been immeasurably helpful. He has the software, the know how, the tools etc. etc. Anyway, most problems sorted, ECU fixed, plug leads replaced, plugs replaced, thermostat replaced, coolant flushed and replaced, exhaust packed and repaired... ready to go (I think!) :). Today I did the thermostat and exhaust on my own(!) Learning loads! :tup:

    Here's a video of the first day out in it. Fingers crossed there will be many more :tup:

    Yes! The 4th series is unbearably tense! Such good writing, really does keep you biting your fingers like no other show.

    Just finished watching The Sopranos all the way through.

    Do we think Tony got 'whacked'?
