Reply All did a pretty fun podcast about this subject and even went to India to hunt down the people doing it.

Wow! Haha, that's great, really worth a listen.

They do quite a few investigations of internet scams that are really ...

I'm sure they catch a ton of old people with this bullshit. Still you'd think BT would be more proactive about hunting them down, unless the call center is in Bangalore and they can't get at them.

Heard off a chemist a while ago that all the detergent powders are trash now because certain chemicals they used use are now banned but the liquid ones are fine.

I never bothered with softeners.

One thing that's brilliant, and now impossible to find (I've been buying it online) is Sunlight soap ...

Only remembered yesterday to check for this game didn't realise it was out.

I'm enjoying Goatup and don't want to demystify it but wouldn't mind a few pointers (never played the iOS version)? What the story with butting enemies I don't understand why sometimes I knock them over (without a powerup ...

It's kind of amazing that Xbox development is still bogged down with red tape in this era where they're publishing games like PUBG that are half finished and pushing huge updates constantly.

There was a period about 3 years ago when it felt like indie development was leaning too heavily on retro aesthetics where every second game coming out of the US had bad pixel graphics and NES colour palettes or whatever but the quality of 2d graphics has jumped phenomenally in the last few years we ...

I think games that are good do still find an audience, for the most part. The gaming press are pretty clued up on independent games and you've got a lot of youtubers diving in too. Things being visible on a store front certainly helps but ultimately you need something that markets itself by being ...

If you have Space Invaders the NTSC and PAL versions look very different.

And are you using a CRT? Modern TVs which use digital colour recovery methods often choke on the very hacky signals that the early computers and consoles send.

Ooh... there must be a market for a dedicated retro hardware ...

Think Microsoft are talking about porting Windows 10 to Arm. Add in OLED and we'll be looking at laptops with 20 hour battery life.

Looking forward to affordable OLED pc monitors my eyes are tired!

I've always liked the first Wipeout best. Mastering the air breaks and it being the difference between gliding by or coming to a dead stop felt a lot more satisfying than in the sequels where it doesn't penalise you as much. The game world feels a bit more grounded. The music is fantastic. The car ...

I'd expect a decent jump in performance. This console generation has been so long. Plus while it was touted as HD most of the stuff wasn't even running at 720p. At least now you'll have HD and a good framerate not either or.

I'm more positive about this gen than the last one I'm just cheap so I'm ...

One things for sure. There aren't enough good Android games. Wether the Minotaur games would sell well if ported I don't know but I'm still looking forward to playing them. Is the donationware model working for you? Can't imagine not being in the playstore helps visibility.

The idea of buying a punchy gaming desktop and streaming to my TV in the living room via Steam is sounding very appealing right now, particularly as I need a PC for work anyway. I'm hoping that more of the interesting Japanese stuff get PC ports this time around.

Email isn't really designed for it alright. I'm not sure I'd love to be totally dependent on something like Dropbox though. It's handy to be able to search through mail and find email attachments that you may have lost or misfired.

I'd love Google mail quality search in outlook.. in another decade ...

Music magazines get to rereview old albums as they get reissued so I'm all for some amendments. Particularly for Dark Souls. I haven't played much this gen but that's the one game that really blew me away.

Funnily enough I think Goldeneye was a 10 at the time but it's dated now so not much point ...
