Because it has opened the gates to bargain heaven and I am finally able to afford stuff that was previously unattainable for me. For the past year I have been paying attention to the special offers, hording loot left and right. And now at long last I own a home theater setup, including a full hd plasma, surround sound and a blu-ray. And just today I topped off the cake with a nice X360 Elite cherry.

I stumbled upon this bizarre trailer for Kokoro Scan (or Heart Scan). Which is a DS game that enables you to use the build-in voice recorder of the DS as an emotion sensor. Although I wouldn't have guessed it by watching the trailer. It has a catchy tune, but it's extremely weird. Enjoy!

I spend last week on the south-east coast of England. The weather was miserable for the most part, but on the first day the clouds broke, I was foolishly persuaded to ride one of these:



And there I was, on the top of Devils Dyke near Brighton, wondering what the hell I got myself into. I had watched the run before mine and it had seemed pretty harmless. I was comforting myself with these thoughts. Boy was I wrong. Due to the wet grass and stiff breeze at our back, we covered the one and a half mile track in less than a minute. I tried to focus on the air above, but it went so fast it only made me nauseas. And the bouncing of the ball, whenever there was a bump in the road, didn't help either. But at-least I had a good laugh about the gentleman who accompanied me on the way down, he had his eyes closed and was screaming like a little girl the whole time. Normally I'm a sucker for roller-coaster rides, but I'll pass on the next occasion.
