Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

Depends if there's a premium that comes with it imo. But still, it's false. Although eBay is gonna side with the seller probably, or was it the other way round that they're biased?

[Jei]

Depends really, I've fired the seller an email so just waiting for a response.Its a cheapish Jap Saturn Game so nothing major expensive however I could have easily got it cheaper and it better condition from the usual sellers, (steveb666 and Yakumo etc)

Tried to use megaupload/filesonic/other upload sites and you're getting a "only one download at a time" message despite not having any downloads from them?

That'll be the good old IWF filtering things through their proxy which uses a single IP address. Aren't you glad we have this secretative cencorship organisation with near zero oversight silently disabling perfectly valid websites?

After 3 years and 8 months my trusty 60gb PS3 has YLOD. It is a sad day for all involved.

Depends which you are - usually if you're the buyer, eBay sides with the seller, and vice-versa

I think they'd definitely side with jeimuzu here as it sounds like the seller trying to be clever. Based on that idea, a seller could take any old used tat and just 'seal' it and sell as sealed. The reason eBay has a sealed option is to show that the item is completely unused.

Sites spoiling Batman Arkham City.

Stop putting big headlines on your front pages saying "ABC is a boss in Batman!!!". Even if you are going to report on the game for those who don't care, you don't have to put spoilers in your headlines where they're impossible to avoid for everyone.

Chavs with kids again.

Out walking today to the shops and heard a couple pushing a pram and a very young baby crying. Nothing was being done to rectify this apart from the bloke saying 'Will you be quiet!' to the baby.

Yeah, because the baby understands exactly what you are saying.

I really liked Foundations by Kate Nash a few years back when it first came out, and it wasn't just because she's stupidly hot, I genuinely liked it. Upon hearing it today, I realise the error of my ways.

I am irked by past me. What was I thinking?

This x1000

Sadly there's not much chance of being surprised anymore about anything in the game because they all seem intent on spoiling it all. If I was Rocksteady I'd be pretty livid with this sort of nonsense because at this rate there'll be no point in buying or playing it at full price.

Half the fun of AA was not knowing who was coming up. After all the [hide]Clayface[/hide] bit wouldn't have been half as cool if you'd known about it before hand.

Sites like Kotaku, Joystiq and a load others need to f'off with this crap attempt at grabbing hits at the expense of the enjoyment of the actual medium they claim to be supporting.

First this, then the Old spice guy spoiled the gears ending

I don't even visit games sites any more. Between here, rllmuk, twitter and GAF I hear all the big news and just follow their links to whatever games site it's on if need be. If I want to read a review, I generally click the link direct to it on Metacritic. There's certainly no need to be browsing their homepages and stuff.

I don't have any interest in AA at all, but I haven't had even the slightest detail spoiled!

EDIT: AA? See? I have such little interest that I don't even know what it's called! I meant AC.

that's because they are talking about Arkham Asylum, not Assassin's Creed.
Unless of course that faux pas was a carefully planned joke and I just walked right into it

They're talking about Arkham City!

I just owned myself.

Damn all these acronyms! (DATA!)

My neighbours again. Still blasting their crappy music because they want to listen to their stereo system while they sunbathe and chat downstairs. Idiotic.
