Ellmeister Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Housemate asked what do I think of cats? I gave a positive response and 4 hours later he returns with two rescued cats. Names are yet to be decided but they're two black female cats and we're thinking videogame themed. Any suggestions welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Go for Ellie and Riley from The Last of Us: Left Behind. :'( Had a great time in Brighton yesterday. We took about two hours getting there which is decent, but then it took another 40 minutes being stuck in traffic in Brighton and to find a parking space. Urgh. After all that, did some shopping. Bought a nice sushi set for a friend, some chocolates (pretzel flips, hnnnng) and a Wonder Woman key ring. Met up with some old friends. Went for a burger at GBK which tasted like heaven and had some drinkies. Ended up coming back at midnight as we have plans for today. Am tired. Sleep.

Beast Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 @ReZourceman Recall a few months back where I was annoyed because Disney decided to pull the rug from under my feet and change the spine covers? Well, one of the people I know at work and I are huge Disney fans and we're both collecting (only she collects DVDs and I collect Classic blu-rays). She told me that Disney Movie Rewards are giving away the new versions of the blu-ray covers for 100 points each. I asked if I could use her account to get them because I don't really trust my neighbours and she said it was fine. Turns out I was sitting on 1700 points and I still have 13 more blu-rays to enter into the site. So I managed to bag myself 17 covers! I only need 1400 more and I can get the other 14. I am proper chuffed! The rest I can't get them in, I'll just trade in or something. Thank God it's not such a pain in the bollocks! Just hope everything will be okay throughout with no problems!

Names are yet to be decided but they're two black female cats and we're thinking videogame themed. Any suggestions welcome! I know it's late but here's my suggestion and reason behind it: 2 female cats... 2 female black cats... Black cats are said to be witches cats... Witches... Computer game witches (specifically 2 of them)... Koume and Kotake, the Twinrova sisters. Edited January 26, 2015 by Kav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprout Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hey gen chit chat! Is this the right place to put this? Am I doing general chit chat right? Not enough GIFs, you say? Sorry, it's been a while. I haven't posted to this area of the forums that much in recent years, mostly because I don't really have much of a life worth talking about. But I thought I would take a moment to show a gift (well, a bunch of gifts actually) I got from @Eenuh. Yesterday was my Birthday, and today I got this in the mail: Bubble wrap! And some other things I guess! Before delving into the contents, I just wanted to mention the box itself. It was used previously for contact lenses (Ine took the time to write on the box itself to assure me that she didn't get me contact lenses for my Birthday, which amused me). With the size of the box, my first thought was "…How big are Ine's contact lenses? How big are Ine's eyes?!", before coming to the conclusion that she probably just received a large number of lenses. Or perhaps not that many contact lenses, but with a lot of bubble wrap. The original label also said URGENT, which gave my mind imagery of a doctor screaming "This woman is BLIIIND! She needs TEN THOUSAND CONTACT LENSES, STAT!" …Anyway, onto the stuff inside the box. Firstly, a Birthday card with stickers! I wish I knew where to put these stickers, I really do! A sticker is a commitment of sorts, because once they're placed somewhere you're stuck with that choice forever! Well, unless you're really good at removing stickers that is. I'm not. Regardless, these things are super nice. Why wouldn't they be? They're Ine Spee stickers. By the way, as this post evidently shows, I can get a bit, um, wordy. This kind of extends to my handwritten messages, and often when I've sent Ine something she has to get through a novel that has been written in the space of a card… plus the envelope. The first time I got a handwritten card from Ine a few years back (she was still living in Belgium at the time) it wasn't that lengthy, but she's gradually filled her cards with more and more words to the point where she has caught up with me! I'm actually a little scared that my tendency to ramble is contagious now. Secondly, cookies! Or to be specific, hasseltse speculaas (see Ine, your handwriting is legible). I've thought about mailing Ine baked goods in the past but it can be a bit difficult to do. Plus she's Belgian, which means she is like a connoisseur of amazing desserts and the like. I'm glad I didn't in the end because whatever I could have made just doesn't compare to how nice these things taste. And she made them herself! Ohhh, the feelings! So many of the feelings! She also tried to guilt me in the card by saying I could give them to someone else if I didn't like them, but there's no way I'm sharing these. =P Thirdly, hnnnnngh! To those who don't know or have maybe forgotten, when I first joined the forums I used Deku Link from Majora's Mask as my signature and avatar. What we have here is a pastel drawing of said character by Ine herself. The feels are now in overdrive and my heart is meeeltiiing. And apparently this is what she can churn out when she's "rusty". I swear, this gal and her talent just continue to blow my mind to this day. I have to find a frame for this. …and If all that wasn't enough, she even got me a GAME gift card too. She probably won't like me heaping on all this praise (err, sorry by the way), and you lot pretty much know this already, but I had to take the time to say that Ine is just an incredible person and that I'm extremely thankful I have her in my life. Thanks again, Ine! Said it to you today already, but It's the best gift I've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahkon Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Holy shit, that's amazing. @Eenuh is awesome : peace: I swear, this gal and her talent just continue to blow my mind to this day. Have to agree with you. That picture... I keep buying her cards because her art is incredibly beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 24 hours and I entered the rest of the codes. Only 2 of the 14 had been used! Managed to order the rest of the covers available as well as a couple I may find hard to get just to be on the safe side. I only need to update 8 out of 31 now. I'll slowly buy them in HMV or Tesco (since I know they do the sleeves all of the time) and sell the others on. I'm absolutely buzzing! My Disney collection means a lot to me so I'm happy I'm going to be able to have it looking neat enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goafer Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Took the day off work as I was feeling pretty awful. This afternoon I felt a bit better, so I took the opportunity to tidy up my "geek shelf": Beautiful. Once I have more space, I plan on having a few more games on display and a lot more figures/collectibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
