    Why isn't that Dragon Quest PS4 blue? They missed a trick there.

     

    Also I accidentally bid on a PS Vita Slim and might accidentally pay for it should I win. Don't you hate it when that happens?

    Eh, I'd buy the first variant, better screen and all that jazz.

     

     

    Eh, I can live with the LCD screen really, especially if the battery life is better. Knowing Sony, they'll do a redesign that's slimmer AND with an OLED screen next year so I've probably jumped the gun.

  2. Debt collection shit that isn't yours isn't fun. I received a letter and phonecall because some dude with the same name AND birthdate as me is racking up debts somewhere in London. I mean the name being the same is one thing, but born on the same day? Unimaginative parents in naming us I guess...

     

    Hope the job / debt collection errors fuck off soon Chaos!

  3.  

    Just completed Tomb Raider but my mission progress is saying 99% despite everything being collected in the game. Bullshit! Fantastic game though.

     

    Did anyone see this months PS Plus games? Those are bullshit too.

    The Vita lineup is decent because of cross buy.

     

    PS3 lineup is horrific though.

     

     

    To be fair, it's been amazing for most of the time I've been on it so one or two crap months isn't too bad. And I'll be getting a Vita soon so I can take advantage of the endless 'free' games I have for that. Muramasa is first on the list methinks.

  4. Am I the only one thinking he also could be joking about the album's limited edition ? That sounds kind of weird (well, not as much as the 5 y.o. uploading music on Bandcamp but still...)

     

    You are the only one who thinks Aphex isn't joking about that

  5. When you don't drink and everyone else in the known world does, you might as well being saying 'go fuck yourself and your mother', what with some of the looks I get when I politely turn down drinks or nights out getting wasted every day of the week. I thought alcohol was optional? When did it become mandatory? I don't mind a vodka and coke but man, fuck off with your endless nights out spending all my cash! I'm fine hanging out being sober and not broke.

     

    Plus, the whole thing about 'it tastes better the more you drink it' is pretty stupid. This faulty logic can apply to everything inedible: dogshit, arsenic, copper wiring...if you endlessly force yourself to imbibe something you don't like, of course you'll eventually find it delicious, like some kind of Stockholm Syndrome of the taste buds. 'You'll find it delicious when you grow up' my arse.

     

    And don't get me started on Guinness. Is Guinness Irish for 'sawdust'?

     

    (am I anti-social enough yet)

  6.  

    Does anyone think that the Japanese disc with the bonus track will be really valuable in the long term?

    Geogaddi had a Japanese bonus track and only sells for ¥2000 on discogs

     

     

    Yeah Japanese albums aren't limited edition (unless specifically a limited edition version of course) so not really, no. I've picked up a few Japanese only albums on ebay for not much, with no bidding competition from other people.

  7.  

    I remember getting Exai digitally a month before release (with 24bit wavs also!), whether it's intentional or not is unknown. Also, for some reason I pre-ordered TH and got flac, wav + 24bit wav as well, even though I definitely didn't buy them.

     

    My bleep account is cursed with gifts of extra digital formats. Not complaining. I wish I'd gotten 24bit Reachy Prints though.

     

    Exai ended up releasing early by about 3 weeks din't it?

     

     

    Yup, I remember getting the CDs and thinking "Didn't really need these did I?" Wish I'd pre-ordered the vinyl.

  8. Not sure if this is allowed but a book I wrote is currently free on Amazon should you want a free kindle book about a detective trying to rescue a child held hostage without being able to tell anyone. Should be free for another day or so, and even when not free is under a £1/$1.

     

    Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IDVR0ME/ref=docs-os-doi_0

    Amazon US: http://www.amazon.com/Rescue-Children-That-Dont-Exist-ebook/dp/B00IDVR0ME

     

    It should also be free in whatever you're country you're in, but I don't want to jam up the thread with a hundred + links so apologies.

    Going by reviews alone, my book was better received in America than the UK. I prefer the American review myself.

  10. Squarepusher's track 'On Crack' was an alright Japanese bonus track. You might be right, it could be nothing.

     

    I think Squarepusher's mostly on crack these days. Or, if he's come off of it, he could do with going back on it: his albums are super disappointing lately. :squarepusher:

     

    But I would be quite happy being wrong, as I said. More to listen is fine.

  11.  

    I wonder if by 'three' albums they meant the triple vinyl? Not three records in terms of albums but in terms of vinyl records? :mellow:

     

    Also I don't trust Japanese bonus tracks, rarely ever worth the money and effort in buying them (imo). Apart from the Plaid one for Reachy Prints, that was worth illegally download 'finding'.

     

    The 'chre ones haven't been the best, but there is the occasional diamond in the rough...

     

     

    For all we know, MARCHROMT30A could just be 99.9% silence then 0.01% fart noise, but we'll find out soon enough...

     

     

    Yeah, I hope I'm wrong and it's a pearler. I certainly won't complain with another good tune to listen to.

     

    I wonder what the Japanese think of all these bonus tracks on albums from foreign bands, that drive up the cost so much? "Foreign albums are OK, but man they always fuck up the last track! Can't those gaijin end their albums properly?! Just buy the import, it's cheaper."

  13. Dunno, all of those unreleased tracks sound ok when recorded with crappy phones and cameras! Who KNOWS how ok they'll sound when we hear them in their digitally compressed glory!

     

    I been wondering this too, many a song I've heard somewhere and thought it was great only to hear the studio version and the magic is not there at all. Let's hope Aphex hasn't taken up arms in the loudness wars.
