    I have an urge to buy something but there is nothing, nothing at all that seems worth buying.

    This year we decided Christmas was really about our kid, so we vowed to buy each other just one thing of some significance. In a panic, unable to think of anything at all, I saw a Mont Blanc leather wallet in a shop and said to my missus "Oh, Mont Blanc leatehr wallet".

    It was really expensive. It swallowed up the allowed amount perfectly. But... I just didn't really want a walllet. The one I've got is fine. So in the end I said "Don't bother, I don't want it" and since then I have wracked my branes for something, anything at all I might want, to replace it.

    I HAVE NO CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!!!

    I have asked everyone else to give the value of my present to a charity of their choice. Honestly, I did that becuase I just don't want a load of unwanted shit. But I do think I want one present from my missus... she has said "choose soemthing yourself".

    I've considered and itouch - WHY?
    A PSP - WHY?
    A PS3 - WHY?
    A Zoom H4 recorder - WHY?
    A Tascam digital 4-track - WHY?

    I just do not actually want for anything at all.

    = (

    • My advice - consider PS3 (it's a good bluray player, at least - avoid PSP (mine's sat unused for longer than I can imagine)Nairn

    my ps2 has been sat at a friend's house for over a year.

    i had left a couple things there as my mother decided one day to kick me out of the house, and i never went back for them. last i checked they were still sitting neatly in the guest room, ps2 still plugged in to the tv.

    poor little guy

  • Jorp0

    I had no games console at all, then I was at a friend's house and he was playing a game called Black. A sort of sniper, shooter game. It was awesome. I was hooked completely. It was truly a free environment around which you could make your way in any direction you liked. It was just great.

    I went out and bought a PS2 and Black. Played it like crazy and finished it. So then I read on what were the great games to buy next. They were all miserable excuses for fun. You only really had one choice in anything... do exactly what the game requires you to do or nothing happens, go only where the games allows you to go and just forget about the 'expansive environment' your character seems to be in, you have a little chicken run to slide back and forth along, thats it.

    I wasted a fortune trying to buy just one other game that was any good. All of them were shit.

    PS2 rant over.

    I'm not usually around during the "holidays" but I think the few times I have been, I seem to remember the PVN going to shit more than usual. Which in itself is saying a lot, but this too will pass.

    Wii = lots of fun. I almost think it's worth it just to have so that you can play with other people when they come over. In my case, I have lots of people living here already.

    PS3 = great graphics, Blu-ray player is useful; I don't play it much b/c I don't have time. My brother and sister play FIFA all the time though.

    iPod Touch = I love it. While there are certain games and apps not available for it (ie. Ocarina), the second generation does have mic capabilities and a speaker. You just have to buy the mic. But, obviously, for most games and apps, these things are not important. It's more like the iPhone now (you can even do voip stuff), but you don't pay phone bills. The only downside is that you can't use the internet everywhere, as you can only use it in places where they allow you to use it (ie. your own house, coffee place, school). But it's still good. It just means you can't randomly use the internet in your car.

    • Oh man do I love FIFA!

    "Detroit may has been stealing Canadian water for 44 years.

    It seems the Motor City's drinking-water intake pipe extends about 100 yards across the international boundary in the Detroit River, and it's been siphoning as much as 32 billion gallons a year since 1964 without a water-taking permit.

    "The City of Detroit was unfamiliar with Ontario requirements for water takings and has never had a permit to take water," the Ontario Ministry of the Environment told the Hamilton Spectator.

    Alerted to the water grab when Detroit conducted a screening under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act for maintenance work on its southwest water treatment plant in 2006, the ministry now plans to exempt the city from provincial regulations.

    The public has until Jan. 31 to comment on a proposal to let Detroit continue to operate the intake without a permit "because of the historical nature and unique circumstances."

    It would also be exempt from fees "as administering the charge would be onerous and difficult to enforce."
