I'm not interested in the prancing of drama queens. There are too many ego-maniacs on this site already without me fueling the legions of fanboys lining up to give them virtual blowjobs.

lulz :P
If that was PG-13, I'd sig it like that.

I'm not going down there again. They're all a bunc of petty fools.

Why the rest of the site can't be more like our own thread, I don't know. Civil, lulzly, informative and just a little spammy!

Back to playing MK then. Waiting for CP to come online so I can beat him too :P Played an worldwide game with Munkimus (he was in one, I joined).

I cam 2nd, and kinda knocked him out of the running :?

I quit after that race. I feel bad making him lose :(

My Wiimote is almost out of power and I have no batteries plus I haven't played for ages now. I knew this would happen! I spend all the money on a Wii and MK and I get bored in less than a month.

The only Wii games I've played for more than a week or two are Zelda and Guitar Hero 3 - it is good for partys though, mind you - my dads just picked up a PS3 and I don't think there are any games on there that I'd stick with for long (unless rock band came out for a sensible price).

I'll be spending about 100 quid on TF's before christmas

That tends to be what happens when your sole game (wii sports is more of a technical demonstration) is a party game.

I'm a party kinda person, so I'll be playing MK till the cows come home. But I suggest you try one of the 1 player games, zelda, mario, Metroid, Manhunt 1/2, Resident Evil 4 & chronicles, etc etc


Rock band will never have a decent price point. £180 is ridiculous.

My sg cost that much!


I got bored sitting in me room. So I rewrote the chorus riff for mr brownstone so that it actually sounded like Izzy's part.

Not an easy rhythm to play to. But damn satisfying, and super funkay.
I'll enjoy playing it excedling loudly on saturday night at the next party.


Funny side story!

We were at a mate's on sunday for practise, and as noone else was around for many miles, we turned the amps up to half volume.

While we were playing, this china horse that was sitting on a shelf near us leapt up into the air, flew a metre or so across the room, and landed on the sofa.

That was lucky; it didn't break, and it's priceless.

But we found the resonant frequency of the horse!! :P 8-}

Only half volume MB, you wimp :P

Animated isn't going to bankrupt me as I only definitely want Jazz - universe is a completely different story though

MB, the reason the rest of the site can't be more like us is because not enough of the members are Brits

I will probably play Skies of Arcadia again at some point, but for now I'll just leave it alone.

I have been quite lethargic after work this week and don't really want to do anything except sing and rock back and forth in a corner and laugh to myself.

Chi, chi chichi oppa~~~~~i, boing boing.

I can't justify getting all those... Just going to get Megs, Blitzwing and Skywarp.

Since Hasblo have essentially given me a year off with all the movie junk I suppose that it's fair enough that the next year is going to be a spending overload to compensate. Seriously, aside from The Robot Heroes and Walmart Screamer pretty much everything that I've shelled out on since last summer's Botcon excesses has been rare Japanese stuff. Still, you'd get a lot of deluxes for what a single Jizai or Arianhod sets you back...

*sigh* so true :(
The world would be a happier place if we were all disgruntled brits.

I only buy autobots, so Animated is gonna cost, but not kill. My student loan can pay for them :P
I'll just use my seductive charm to wrangle me drink and food B-) :P

Okay then tough guy, come saturday night we'll turn the output wattage to full and rock the brown clee all night long! (brown clee is a really big hill, famous for it's mushroom fields)


Thyunda-- you KNOW it was. It was so good that I was near death on monday 8)


Tek-- learn guitar! It's relaxing, rewarding, it's awesome!

I wanna play live within the next year. Try and go for the record deal. All I need to do is develop talent at composing :P


Waaaaghlord- You know what I find funny? Takara allowed Jiazai to sell those customs at winter fest or whatever it's called. Which means they musta looked at them, and liked,

And then, a few months later, poof! Classics Powerglide, Cyclonus and Octane.


I hope we get a classics wheelie! And I hope Jiazai make tracks next, so that Takara follow suit!

I'd like a Deluxe Wheelie. I'd have him and Thrust take turns being sandwiched between MP Grimlock's teeth.

At the start of every Season 2 episode I remember seeing Thrust fly dangerously close between Grimlock's jaws.

That and I think it would be funny to have a picture of me abusing such a valuable figure and showing it to people who want Thrust so badly.

It's because I'm a meanie.

Hehe.. hehe... haha.. Aaha! Ahahahahahaha!

Boredom and the fact I've been listening to Chichi wo Moge on a loop for past two hours... It stops me from wanting to sleep but I get a bit manic.

I need more places to display Transformers. If I do go ahead and get all the Animated stuff I don't know where I'm going to put it.

I need to get some display units or something.

Yeah, I am all out of space too, and halls are gonna be an extra pain too...

You not actually going to get all that big massive list are you? That would be about 5 sqaure feet of plastic :P OO! Just chuck out all your books and use the bookcases! I should do that, I'm so smart :3

I need a butterfly display case, but they are amazingly expensive.

I don't actually have bookshelves. I keep all my books in my wardrobe.

I have one shelf that I have Hard Hero Megatron and other statues on, and a shelf on a cabinet that I keep loads of random figures on. But that one is crammed full. Chidori and Mai keep falling over. =(

Other than that I have two tables, one is full of Classics and the other has my Skywarp and Dead End collection on it. And Alternators Swindle sits on top of a cabinet all on his own.

All my Transformers fit neatly onto my bookshelves and my computer desk. The compartments, there are eight of them, fit two Deluxes in each, and the Voyagers all have a shelf to their own. There are only two.

I ran out space and money at the same time, but once this "student loan" thing comes into play, the balence will shift, and I will be drowning in a sea of toys. Honestly, whenever someone opens the door a wave of tf's will rush out and crush them. This is my hope at least....
