- It feels kinda like an xbox controller but fuck it, was about 1/3 the price of a dualshock!ian
- Controllers are more expensive than they should be. I bought 2 extra controllers (the mini ones)Jaline
- I also had to buy 4 nunchucks for the Wii, so obviously I didn't care about getting more for the PS3 (there are 5 of us)Jaline
- Over here its €60 for a dualshock 3 and you can't get any other types, no shops stock other brands. Its fucked.ian
- Thankfully we have some cheaper brands. Not as comfy, but work for smaller hands.Jaline

For Jaline...
"Sketchbook Project 2008
At the start of 2008 I found a passage of text in a book, photocopied it, chopped it up into single words or small clumps of words, put the bits into the pocket of my Moleskine notebook and forgot about them.
Around April time I pulled a piece out and illustrated the words on it with no recollection of the complete passage, nor any idea how that bit of text fitted into a larger narrative.
I did this from time to time over the year, and then I assembled the pieces in the right order to see how they all sat together in the correct sequence..."
so to extraploate from that then, the doodle you ask about is merely an abstract thing that suggested itself to me when I considered the words "They Suffer" in isolation (in the absense of any recollection of the entire passage, or how those two words fitted into it)
Its a milk bottlehammer. I think it conjured playground bullying to me. In England in the 70's we were given bottles of milk with straws to drink at morning play. This was also the time for bullyoing and cruelty because the teachers were pre-occupied with handing out the milk and we were allowed to wander freely as opposed to sitting in a gridwork of desks or queueing in an orderly fashion with fingers on lips.
It was an experiment to see how easy or hard it was to make a narrative representation of abstract clusters of words or single words, and how the doodles then all sat together when the original narrative was reassembled.
Sorry for the long reply = )

Jaline did you get that I was only joking in my note above? Only I had to take a phone call before I could add "Only Joking" and I wouldn't want you thinking I was a grizzly old curmudgeon in real life.
Anyway, I am leaving, a la Janne.
