  • I do agree I loved it the way it was and think it worked very well I just don’t think it sold very well. I don’t think I met anyone else that was aware of it, let alone played it.

    I didn’t know there was a PSP version though, I might have to get a ROM of it and load it up onto my vita and give it a go! I’m guessing you would recommend giving it a try? ;P

    I do remember printing a load out for myself at the time when I realised it was possible but it could never replace the look and feel of real cards.

    I’m going to have a search tomorrow for my set actually now after having this comversation, just to see what I actually have and check it isn’t getting damp :D



  • I still have a set with the camera, playmat etc and loads of extra cards somewhere in storage and I haven’t owned a PS3 for years.

    It was by no means a perfect game but it was such a unique experience that I just loved.

    Imagine if someone made a modern version based around Magic the Gathering, YuGiOh or hell even pokemon TCG. Summoning your monsters and watching them attack. I’d eat that right up!





  • Unless you have money to throw away why not continue to pirate stuff whilst you figure out what you do and don’t like.

    I, like you, didn’t get into books until much later on. I found something I liked (for me it started with Lovecraft) and then just explored all of his books before then looking for stuff that was within that similar vein.

    I also used other types of media to inform what kinds of things I might like (predominantly video games) which lead me off on to other tangents.

    I think this gave me a good basis of what I enjoyed from the stories and writing themselves and then from there I went on to trying other things, usually randomly based purely on a title or blurb and just giving things a go. If I didn’t enjoy something after a few hours then I’d just drop it and move on. When I found something I like I’d usually just binge that author.

    You can always go to a library and borrow some stuff to get an idea of the form factor you like in terms of your last question. I’m an audio book only kind of person so have no input really in terms of that.



  • I don’t know if I would consider myself an “audiophile” but I do DJ for myself and like to have a decent set of speakers.

    I have owned a few pairs of KRK Rokit speakers and currently have a set of Rokit 6’s. I like them for their overall pretty neutral sound, ideally I would have a sub along with it but space is an issue for me right now so I can make do. They have a sufficient amount of bass for my small flat by themselves to be honest.

    I run them through my DJ controller (Traktor S4 mk3 if you care) and have run past pairs I’ve owned through other DJ controllers and basic focusrite USB audio interfaces.

    I wouldn’t say these are super high end but I find they offer a very good listening experience for not a great deal of money (I always buy second hand where I can), this set set me back around £160 if I remember correctly.
