    The WTF thread

    I thought I'd start a thread about normal everyday things, that one day you think about, and go WTF, that doesn't make sense at all. What got me thinking of this is that on the way to work this morning, I heard something on the radio about parallel parking, and I though that surely when people...

    The Ducktales game

    Anyone else play the old Ducktales game? I enjoyed it as a kid, and I see that it's available for free download. You'll probably need a DOS emulator though. http://www.bestoldgames.net/eng/old-games/duck-tales.php

    Music bringing back gaming memories

    I don't know about you guys, but I often used to listen to whatever music I was getting into at the time while playing games (usually on a walkman), and nowadays hearing a certain song will bring back flashbacks of the game I was into at the time. For instance, Led Zeppelin brings back memories...

    Infinite extra lives exploit in Super Mario Bros

    I wonder how many other people figured this out... Back in the day, you had a limited number of lives, and when you ran out of lives, it was game over, and you had to start again from the beginning of the game. So getting extra lives was a really big thing. I can't remember how I figured this...

    ... the hand cramps you'd get from these

    I think these were invented before the word ergonomics. Then again, the number of hours you'd be using with them could also be the problem

    Doom

    Had a look to see if anyone has posted about it, and aside from mentions in posts about Shareware CD's, and running games from DOS, there's just Kuga's post about how he likes to cheat :D. Seriously though, Doom was an awesome game, and was generally what we did on Fridays in computer science...

    Zork and text based adventure games

    Some of us old timers played games before there were such nifty things as graphics. Some of us may have even learned to read and write (or at least type) while playing text based adventure games. One of the biggest of those was the Zork series. I'm sure there are some of us here where the...

    Got a new toy!

    So I got a bit of cash for my birthday and I finally got round to spending it. I got me some of these http://www.trittonusa.com/prod/ax180.asp They aren't super top-end but pretty decent I think, and are mere stereo rather than surround sound, and wired, so lots of cables, but OMG, the...

    Anyone in JHB looking for a good maid?

    So we have a fantastic maid a few times a week, but we don't have enough work or money to employ her full time, or really for the 3 days we have her currently. We'd be fine with once or twice a week, and I thought I'd see if any of you need someone once or twice a week. She does a very good job...

    15% back on Kalahari vouchers

    So, Kalahari's deal of the week is that if you buy a gift voucher for someone, then they will give you back a voucher for 15% of the value of the one you purchased. Seems cool, and if you're feeling Scroogy, then it means that if you buy a voucher for yourself, you basically get a 15% discount...
