Sorry I've not been on recently, had a relapse in my ME yet again which is not very fun but my computer also decided it didn't need a graphics card and started frying itself and some of the components on the motherboard have also popped or are just about to so I have to get a replacement PC some point soon. Not bad going for nine years and still managing to keep up with most games (except Watch Dogs) in that period, unfortunately there goes my Synth budget. Also my Region free DVD player decided not to read DVDs, it never rains but it falls. Its nice not to have a computer though, been able to get through some of my DVD/Blu-ray backlog and sort out other things without being as distracted by a PC. Even when they're limited edition, they still stick around for some time anyway, Garden of Sinners was meant to only meant to have something like 1000 (or was it 2000) units and that's still for sale, the only company that offers truly limited editions seems to be Anime Limited, but even they bring out a standard edition after the first run of Limited's have been sold That's why I said if it will sell out quickly, that Anime Ltd Durarara!!! Limited Box set is still available but you just have to gauge the popularity of the thing. A couple of (non-Anime) examples, I bought the Mizoguchi BD Box set from Masters of Cinema for £38, sold out 2000 in less than a month, seen them going for £150 easily. Kickstarted the Walerian Borowczyk, 1000 copies, not seen any on the 2nd hand market and people are trying to get their hands on it. Anime Limited Editions probably won't go unless if its a really big franchise with some mainstream appeal (Akira, Ninja Scroll, etc) or if it's a worldwide limited (New Gundam releases).

My computer! It's ALIVE!
Some of the Graphics card components leaked inside out so that explains why it died on me. Just remembered that the integrated graphics are on the motherboard, not just the CPU (which mine doesn't have) so pulled it out this morning and using the on board graphics and it's working (relatively) fine, resolution is crappy but at least I've saved myself £500 on buying another PC when I only have to buy a decent graphics card that I can pull from this one and use in the future if needs be*.
*Tight arse, I am from Yorkshire after all

So finally today I've sorted out getting a refund on my Phantom copy of The Phantom Pain. Took a while to find someone to talk to at GAME to help me but its done at least.

Where would we be without our beloved GAME! hehe It's been almost a year since I stopped drinking Irn Bru and I almost caved in today. I ended up settling for chocolate milk and classic magnum ice lolly instead.

It's been almost a year since I stopped drinking Irn Bru and I almost caved in today. I ended up settling for chocolate milk and classic magnum ice lolly instead. Healthwise, chocolate milk is healthier but I don't think it's less addicting. Got some Strawberry Nesquik on a whim a couple of weeks ago and have ended up drinking a glass a day at least. Yami: Sorry to hear about the mess with Game, I'm lucky enough to a have access to a game store chain that isn't Game (Grainger Games) so the few Game shops that still exist around here can't pull as much crap as they used to be able to. Of course, if they have exclusives that you want, you're still out of luck.

Everything tasty is addictive I could really go some Irn Bru right about now. I'm hoping I can refrain, but the unopened 2L in the fridge is talking to me. Looks like I'm gonna have to make a doctors appointment at the start of the week. I've had a spot/boil on my forehead close to my hair for like a week or two. It was bleeding a few days ago as I was drying my hair, which I thought might have been the end of that. But, there is still a little lump and it isn't painful to touch or nothing. I'm guessing it will need drained, but who knows. I made the mistake of searching it up on Google earlier..... I won't be doing that again!
