On the news just now they showed an animation of what would happen to one of those mansions if there was a shindo5 earthquake! Whoah, it did not look good. Between 2nd and 3rd floor collapsed with everything above collapsing on top of it!

Hey great to hear about all the other painters.
Went out the other weekend for the first time and had a great relaxing time.,.. more tomorrow if the weather is good.
-
It's out in the us today I think (tomorrow). Has the release date of the PS3 been released?

Get here a sony psp

Recently I've bought some gear (nothing special) and started doing some painting. I've always been interested in art and drawing and thought I'd give it a go. I'm finding it to be a really fun and relaxing thing to do.
Until now it's been indoors and objects but next weekend if the weather is good I'm going to go out into the country and try my hand at some landscapes.
Do we have any other painters here?

Goldfrapp "Supernature" - love it

Brings back memories looking at that.
Love those reworked now pages by the way..

I'm also hoping to get in about 15-20 days if I can. I'd be very happy if I could.

Anyone been to the xbox 360 lounge in Kita Aoyama (between Shibuya and Omote Sando stations)

Looks like they are really giving it a go this time.

The most exotic place for me is Japan. Garbage Mountain?! Is that a real name?

I wouldn't mind seeing that, well maybe a few minutes of it

And for all those psp owners who need a case:
September 2, 2005
According to a recent announcement, the Simmons Jewelry Company will soon offer a $35,000 case for Sony's new handheld system, the PSP. The Simmons Jewelry Company, a venture between hip-hop bigwig Russell Simmons, his wife Kimora Simmons and M. Fabrikant & Sons, plan on selling the lavish accessory this winter.
And what, precisely, makes a PSP case cost as much as a luxury car? To start, almost a pound of gold went into the body. Then there's the alligator skin. Finally, the one-of-a-kind case will sport black and yellow diamonds. That's one serious case, folks.
"Kimora and I are invested in jewelry with M. Fabrikant & Sons, the #1 jeweler in America. We have made lots of interesting fun stuff," Simmons said. "Much of the profits will go back to Africa."
The new case touts the name "The Baby Phat" and should be a hot ticket once it's on the market.
Time to start saving those pennies.

One thing's almost certain - you won't have to put up with a team of tarento contributing their reasoned comments.

OK so I keep on hearing this. Is there any truth in it or it is just rubbish?
And I'd be interested to know if there's any science explaining it, or whether it's just looking at history.

I used to get excited about the shuttle when I was young. I have quite different thoughts about it now.... my major beef being the same as soubriquets above.

I've spent more than a few hours on Empire Deluxe. I wish I'd kept some of my old machines.
-
Google that for pics and you'll see quite a few people seem to like bee beards!
-
You have to download and install it and you get an hour for free it seems, but this was fun.
-
How far is that - 5 hours?
-
I kinda like the look of the PS3 controller actually... and I'm sure it feels better in your hands that many people are imagining. They're hardly likely to put little thought into it when so much is at stake.
-
Any gamers on here going for any of the "next generation"?
I'll probably end up getting PS3 and 360, but maybe wait a bit to see how it all pans out. (Actually I always say that, but always seem to end up buying them right at the beginning)

Looks like Sony are fed up with people shipping PSPs back to Europe where they aren't on sale yet.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Sony Computer Entertainment today took its fight to stop UK and European gamers gaining access to its new Playstation Portable console (PSP) to the High Court. The games industry behemoth has chosen to take legal action against small, independent online retailers selling imported PSPs to UK gamers citing loss of revenue and trademark infringement.
This follows on from the recent Cease and Desist orders issued to UK businesses selling imported PSP consoles to UK and European gamers desperate to get their hands on the product in light of a six month product launch delay.
Despite its claim of trademark infringement, Sony Corporation has still not admitted to the fact that it has not yet successfully secured vital trademarks in Europe for the PSP. This includes trademarks for the name PSP (a trademark currently registered by Owtanet Limited in 2000), UMD (Universal Media Disks - Sony's proprietary optical storage solution - which is owned by Olympus Corporation and being opposed by AMD), and XMB (a PSP operating system component which is used with all PSP packaging).
Moreover, whilst Sony has chosen to take action against smaller businesses, high street retailers and official Sony distributors are continuing to sell PSP products and accessories without the threat of legal action. HMV, one of the UK's leading entertainment retailers is already selling a multitude of third party PSP accessories to customers who have imported units.
Consumers can also buy PSP consoles through a variety of high street and online retailers across Europe including Netherlands, France, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Spain, Italy and Greece whilst retail chains such as Game are using imported units in-store to demonstrate the PSPs capabilities.
Dan Morelle, Managing Director, ElectricBirdLand Limited commented. "Sony refuses to admit that the UK gaming industry already has its finger prints all over the PSP and importers are selling to Sony stores, Sony developers and Sony staff. The company's action against small independent retailers is just another indication of the bully tactics it chooses to deploy whenever it faces a challenge to its industry monopoly."
Morelle is one of a handful of independent retailers willing to fight his case against Sony and has already received legal guidance on how to proceed. "As a small family run business, I cannot afford the expensive lawyers that Sony has access to at a click of its fingers so I will have to represent. It seems Sony has forgotten the admirable words of its founder Masaru Ibuka who once said "We shall eliminate any unfair profit seeking practices and constantly emphasise activities of real substance.""

Looks like more than there reasonably should be. Or not. Perhaps some of the moaners are Sony peeps?
