  2. And testicle errors are often caused by being interrelated, so it's a catch 22 situation.
  3. Everything is a collector's edition if you don't throw it away

  4. I loved Stick of Truth, and if Fractured is but a fraction as good as that, I will enjoy it. Gonna get it for Xmas and play it over the holidays. Hopefully, some of the game breaking bugs (PC) I've heard about will be sorted by then.
  5. Completed Nier, all endings, and even let it delete my save data. Definitely pales in comparison to the polish of NieR:Automata, but I enjoyed it all the same (despite the grindiness of it at times and dodgy controls). I want to replay Nier:Automata now and see what I missed. Or maybe Drakengard 3. Or, actually, some other game that isn't so melancholy...
  6. Bad things happened to a family member last week and I am glum for them and also glum in general Doesn't help that I'm listening to shit like this often
  7. Let's hear it for the simple virtue of the pay day: of money coming into your bank account and having something to spend, be in on the essential bills keeping the roof above you or the needless trash we bring back under those aforementioned rooves*. I earn less than others, but more than enough for ice-cream and cake and the occasional music, game or book. What else could I want in life? *archaic spelling but I like it more than 'roofs'

    Yeah, I've read Cloud Atlas and know how well he copies the era / form of a period, and I think he did it perfectly fine in Atlas. But here, even if he's copying a certain style, it just reads so cliché, far too much to get across his point. Tempted to read the other sections and see if they cause a similar feeling. If they don't, maybe I'll read it. But even Cloud Atlas didn't really offer much other than six separate stories tangentially linked together (and not very well in some cases). Not feeling it.

    Finished Underworld by Delillo. Spent most of the book thinking he'd forgotten to edit but the ending section brought it all into focus nicely enough. Still too long though. No wonder every book after that is 120 pages. For the first time in a few years, I don't really have anything to read, nor do I feel like it. Started The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell but the first thirty pages are so cliché ridden I have lost all interest in it (even though I suspect the clichés might be intentional...or I'm giving him too much credit). A copy of Don Quixote is staring at me though...

    Have you guys heard about Danielewski's new 27-part novel called The Familiar? Each book will be 800 pages, and is made to resembled a TV series in structure (each book has an intro, advert breaks, credit sequence, etc). I like the idea of it, but bugger if I'm reading all that. Sometimes, the idea is more interesting than executing it. Have fun! I spent two months last year reading it, and loved it (even the Lydia Joyce chapter). Book 2 is my favourite, and I was sad when it ended. edit: also lol:
  11. As far as these not being original, I'm happy to have them on vinyl, and support a good cause too. If a similar type of release for Plaid were to happen, that would be spiffy. :) Previous Touched comps contain these tracks.
  12. Will sell the Touched Autechre sticker for £50 cash

  13. You had to phone them? I was told if I was needed when I left each day. Sucks, man. Not that this affects me personally, but this ISA from TSB is depressing: So, you can save all that money for a year...and earn £1. And then, on that £1, earn 0.05%. I mean, how do they offer this with a straight face, and a tone that suggests I'm getting a really great rate? Two years to earn £3.50! Banks man, fucking hell (my ISA is with the Coventry, whose interest rate is kinda crud but way better than this shit) (also if you don't save money, please start. Always good to have some tucked away somewhere!)
  14. Would you say you were...Intrigued & Stuff? Listened to it and the weirdness is starting to show. Can't wait to see how fucked it gets by the end. And I look forward to listening to all of them in a row, once the project is done.
  15. RDJ has a lot to answer for
  16. Nabbed a blue copy of vinyl, worried I would miss it. Shame that I missed out on a blue vol. 2 but oh well.

    Me too, but I also like not carrying 4000 pages of melancholic French literature around. But then again, what would build better muscles than a log with words printed in it? I read paper too, but when it's something that's free, like Moby Dick (read it on kindle), I see no reason to buy a £12 copy. I mainly bought a kindle for books I could not get for a reasonable price, and that I could download and transfer to that. It's a nice option, but not essential. (That said, some of those hardcover editions of the classics sure look lovely...)

    Keep seeing really old editions of The Brothers Karamazov on Amazon for dirt cheap, tempted to get one and see how moldy and rancid they are. Also, Huuge, if you have a kindle or digital device, all those books are available for free from their digital store. No copyright and shit. I have Karamazov and Proust's In Search of Lost Time, for zilch.
  19. A supermarket has taken over an empty building very very close to my flat--less than a minute walk away--which means my weekend walks to the supermarkets much farther away are a thing of the past. Whoop!
