i made this post to state how very angry and sad i am :(
I finally got this game and spent a few hours playing. Its so much fun and worth every penny. Since I just got my PS3, I don't have many friends so whoever plays BB should go and add me on PSN. My ID is xcaliBBop. Please send me a PM on gbatemp beforehand or I won't accept your request. I'd...

I've been here a hell of a long time... Shakrakas topic reminded me of that. Passed my 2 years here a month ago :O
I finally got round to buying a new CPU fan and speakers. All I have left is a soundcard and a decent desk. I also made an attempt at sorting out the wiring in my PC. Its been mildly successful but I think I can do better. Also I took random pics when I visited my nan on monday. Boring as...
I just got my new Dell 2209WA monitor. Its an amazing upgrade from 19" 4:3 and I can't be happier. I'm not going to do some fancy unpacking thread like War did. It'll just be some pics of my new monitor :D.
My friends dragged me out to trocadero (big arcade) today cause it was a friday and they didn't want me to stay at home. It was the first time I went there and even though we had some hitches getting there, we got there in the end. Some of the so called hitches include; a random person getting...
The PC that I've been wanting forever has finally arrived :D. This is the first time I've ever built a PC and I'm quite happy that nothing went wrong. The only dissapointment was that my PSU is a bit too weak for my graphics card but its ok. I'll buy another PSU later. The specs: - E8400 CPU -...
Right now I'm in college and looking to go uni next year. I filled in my application and sent it off november 19. I thought I was fine and would get my responses quick enough because I wasn't late with my application, something which I have problems with seeing as it took me 6 months to apply...
As most of you might know (even Osaka -_-) I've been "working" at an internet cafe for a while now and I've noticed a few things which are weird about my customers. Firstly, how come they all feel the need to whisper when they want to extend their time? Every single person who runs out of time...

I had bit of trouble with kids at the shop last night but now I saw it was all a trick and I'm disgusted. It started off with a kid "losing" his £10 note. He came back to the shop and asked if I had seen it. Obviously what people lose in the shop is not my responsibility but I helped him look...
This is xcalibur posting live from the iclapton internet cafe to report an unusal happening!! Two of the greatest (dsare I say that) members of the legendary moderating team have come to visit a humble temper. Costello who is here for work and dice who just lived here got a bit too bored and...
