hmm ... I am thinking about getting a WII for Christmas. You know, treating myself a bit and MAYBE let others play with it too ... I heard there is a bit of a shortage in Britain. Here it's no problem getting one so far.

HELLO woo new babbledom! sorry for my absence i have been at work all weekend so no time for computerness
@Coppelia
yes kimi is correct in that its from Irrational Exuberance, i first heard the Yatta song in one of wildcats flash works for I-C, i then used that song to put Zole off in the London meet up before ML was released playing the eye of argon game ( wiki version and a version of it ) it was much fun indeed, i found the flash whilst perusing through albino black sheep
@Kimi thank you for explaining it all while i wasnt here XD

Personally I would recommend a Wii, as for me the games are really fun, and I like the control system (I never got the hang of the Ps2 style controllers - they always felt uncomfortable), but it's really worth trying it out first as I know some people who hate it.
I've currently got
Zelda Twilight Princess
Wii Play (if you can get it cheap it can give you the game + controller for only a pound or two more than the controller).
Metroid 3
Excite Truck
and Mario Galaxy
Of those Zelda is a great RPG/Adventure
Metroid looks very good so far, although it's not quite the same as the older metroids (slightly more shooting based).
Mario is rapidly getting me addicted - it's got just the right mix of classic platform action, with the addition of the 3d and controls for me (it takes a few minutes to get used to walking over the edge of the world, but it certainly adds to the fun).
Depending on the game the controls can work either wonderfully and intuitively, or very badly (IIRC EA basically ported a couple of Ps2 games over to it and spent next to no time adapting the controls for example*).
Metroid for example makes very good use of the controls, you use one to aim and interact with things, whilst the other controls movement and the grapple (the motion sensors take over the need for a second stick and a lot of buttons).
From what i've seen and heard it looks like there is definately going to be a shortage of Wii's in the UK this year.
*I think it was Tiger Woods golf that was considerably worse in it's controls to the Wii Sports golf mini game included with the console.

I saw Scrumpy Jack rummaging through the remains of Magincia last night. I have no idea what he was doing there, but it makes one thing official: Magincia has truly gone down the drain!

good morning
only 'rubble' that Heidi's brought home doesn't look like rubble at all, it's green plants. Some have been added to the AMT roof garden, the rest are going in a bag on a vendor.
Got a fair selection of cursed, non-powderable artis, ones that are no use to our chars are going on one of Terry's vendors.

Slow babble.
I'm trying to learn LUA.
Therefore, I'm procrastinating in the babble thread.

Everybody seems to be busy collecting rubble in Magincia nowadays ... very slow babble thread.
Let nobody claim anymore that picking up leftovers is not fun *g*

what is LUA anyway? I've seen it referred to in the threads about customising ui for KR

It's the scripting language that should let you do awesome things in the KR UI
My target is resizeable backpacks.
But, on the route there, I'm going to probably try some other stuff, like possibly replacing the windows for the moongates with maps.

I played KR last night for the longest I've ever been logged in to the client, using Petra to kill daemons in Ilsh. Wasn't too bad at all. Was using the swampy though cos they've really messed up the animation on the giant beetle, it can't go in a straight line.

Ok where's that Fluffi Bunny bloke got to with that tune he promised Petra and me?
I know it takes ages to get a good song out of Wales, the last good one I heard went:
" My hen had a haddock high up in a tree" or summat like that
