Ooh, Dragon Quest! That's another game on my wishlist! And Shadow of Mordor, but for PC. Husband's console is borked, so not sure when he will be playing again! :/ Xbox One is too expensive, still, and he's not really looked at PS4 much, even though he has a PS3.

My two cents: My techie tools have always been Malware Bytes, Avast/AVG, and CCleaner. All my browsers have Adblock/plus, Ghostery, and Flashblock extensions/plugins installed. I also use OneTab, if I am going to have a lot of tabs open at once.

It was great fun - but had the "gaming headache" afterwards, for a few days! I'm a "restless tech" person - I change my backgrounds (have a program that changes them every 15 minutes) and I change my browser, and I change my OS (well, my Linux distro, anyway) every couple of months, etc. So...

Going to jump in with my 2 cents worth - the freezer trick worked for 2 WD drives I had that began the Click of Death, but not for the 3rd. Don't leave it in the freezer long (And make sure it's not "buried" in any frosty stuff. - clean shelf, or on top of something that's not got any...

Last weekend I was so excited to finally be able to play games after our TV was fixed, that I went on a crazy multi-game binge. I played Resident Evil, then some DAI, then I started Silent Hill (never played it before) and some Alien Isolation, and some "Sir, You are being hunted!" just for...

Jeeparz, dude! As mentioned - I feel ill just reading that. I have the constitution of an ox, generally, but occasionally I get sinus headaches that lay me low (nausea, vertigo, etc) for a day or so. That's about it, really. I heal like Wolverine (takes me days to heal something that takes other...

Just started watching "Blindspot" - pretty interesting so far. A little overdramatic in some places, but I'm sure they will ease into something more natural. I'm only on episode 3, so I'll give them a chance :) Also - been on a Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks binge.

Totally get that - you're looking for mind-candy after a hard day at work. I feel like that too, after a hard week of using my brain (school work) - I just want to not have to put too much effort in. :) Enjoy your weekend gaming!

Wonderful history! So a Greek guy who does Italian food... interesting :) None within 100 miles of where I am, unfortunately!

OOH! That sounds interesting! This restaurant is called Ephesus - really love their food. Authentic, delicious and prepared fresh every day. In fact, husband and I are devouring our spanakopita as I write this - he made it specially for us, as we have become very good customers and he likes to...

OOH! I forgot about my Resident Evil games too... *shakes fists* SO LITTLE TIME, SO MANY GAMES TO PLAY!

It might, yes - but my brother (back in .za) uses it and if he can manage the shipping to Africa, I think someone with Euros can handle it. I know nothing much about consoles, so I will bow to your expertise on the matter.

OOh! That's next on my list, when I have some money (and time) to burn.

I've had toast for breakfast, cereal for lunch and now husband called and said "ORDER ME SOME GRIKK FOOD" and so I will be doing that shortly. He loves Turkish/Greek food and we have a favourite restaurant here. Hoping they decide to deliver today... (sometimes they don't have a driver - it's a...

Totally agree with you - just mentioning that it can be done if you're willing to make some compromises. If he buys through newegg he buys in $$$, and the exchange rate for euros to dollars is pretty good (for euros) at the moment, so he could find it being less in the long run - that's what I...
