Off Topic / Microphone recommendation?
« on: August 13, 2013, 07:51:48 PM »
I know nothing about them and you guys are generally tech-savvy people.
I don't need anything professional quality, but just something so that people can hear me without any god-awful background noise and not terrible quality. Because this is what the constant background noise on my current one sounds like.
It needs to be able to be shipped to the UK and cost under £40 including shipping.

Games / What DS games are good for a 7 year old girl?
« on: June 17, 2013, 01:53:38 PM »
So I want to send something to my cousin in Bangladesh, all she's got is a DS and one game that she has been playing since I gave it to her three years ago. I was thinking AC: Wild World or Mario Kart DS but my mother says I should buy something really girly. There goes my efforts of trying to give her something gender neutral to play but whatever.
She already owns Cooking Mama.

Creativity / Portal Cake Clock
« on: February 15, 2013, 01:12:35 PM »
The collection topic reminded me of my clock collection. So I thought I'd share this clock I made, it's made from recycled materials. The clock is a biscuit tin lid paper mache'd then painted brown. Then I just stuck some beads from a necklace I broke when I was four on it.
If you're wondering why the hell the hands are so bent, it fell off a wall.
Also the top bead isn't centered because it isn't attached, that broke off when it fell off the wall.

Games / Best handheld Harvest Moon title?
« on: February 11, 2013, 09:47:54 AM »
Not including A New Beginning because that won't be released in Europe for ages and the 3DS is region locked because Nintendo are meanies.
So which one would you recommend I buy?

Off Topic / Do you think internet friends count as "real" friends?
« on: January 22, 2013, 06:14:03 PM »
Just a question.
So once I heard "oh she's your real friend, you've never met her in real life" well forget I'm sorry I guess we're not allowed to be friends because I can't afford to go to Canada pfft.
I've also had people tell me it's pathetic that like half of my friends (good friends, talk to them everyday, play games with them, they help me with my homework sometimes, get in long philosophical debates, provide pep talk when someone's sad) are ones I've never met in real life.
I don't get the basis of either of these, so I want to hear what you guys think.

Off Topic / Dolphin Emulator help
« on: January 19, 2013, 02:59:11 PM »
You guys are good with these things right?
I was trying to play Harvest Moon: Animal Parade
See the speeds on this? What do I do about it? I have all the graphic settings on Dolphin maxed and I just can't get this to slow down. 2835% is not playable speed. I've googled it and all the results are either issues about it running too slow or they just suggest maxing all the settings.
Normally, the speed drops once I actually load my save and start playing, but because it's going so fast, I don't have enough time to load the save before it takes me to the main menu for idling.

Creativity / Pengie's pokemon drawings and wallpapers and stuff

Well I decided to make my own topic since in the drawings megathread, things go unnoticed pretty often. I also don't have a place for my wallpapers so yeah. I usually put out a drawing every other day, but if I'm occupied with a game or something then that drops to about two drawings a week. I take requests but only when I'm off school.

First version of this piece
Second version after I decided the first was too dull for my liking.
Done with MSPaint and a mouse when I was really bored at my aunt's house and missing my tablet very much.
I'm so proud of you for getting to the bottom. Maybe I shouldn't keep everything in one thread, OH WELL.
I take requests (when they're open) here

Games / Thief 2 problems
« on: December 20, 2012, 02:18:20 PM »
Today I got the Thief collection, I've already played The Dark Project so I started up Thief 2, I get as far as starting my game, getting to the bit where Garrett is all "I'd better check my map" then I check my map and it usually freezes up at this point. Sometimes I get to walk around a bit too before it freezes up. Also I remembered how Garrett constantly clunks around like a really fat tap dancer. So loud.
I heard fog needs to be disabled in options on Windows 7 so I did, and that was going smoothly until I tried to throw a plate at a wall. Then it froze again.
I have googled the issue and I found some people with similar issues, they linked a patch but the link was broken.

Creativity / Pengie wrote about some personal experiences.
« on: November 20, 2012, 05:09:09 PM »
For English class, I have started my creative assignment. I was completely lost for plot and my friend told me how in her class they made her do an autobiography. So I started writing about how I went to Bangladesh, and things seemed strange, because I didn't realise how politically involved my family really were, how they tried to pull wool over my eyes and show me the beautiful tea fields over a sunset, but when I met the underpaid, starving people working there, and the illusion was shattered. I haven't finished this yet and it's a first draft but y'know.
The gentle hum of the plane was mind-numbing and my stomach churned from the chalky food, seven excruciating hours had passed, three hours of the flight still remained. I hate travelling long plane journeys; I hate sitting in a metal can brimming with people I don’t like for ten hours to go to a country I despise, to visit a family I don’t know but there I was, doing just that. We were over Dubai now; the land was bathed in a fresh, bright sunlight, shimmering as the light touched the pale buildings. It was well in the day here, but back home, it was late, and my eyes grew heavy with desire to curl up and dream of going to the world below us. Instead, I had to lie back in an uncomfortable plane seat, and desperately force myself to sleep.
I awoke to a familiar smell. To call it musky is an understatement, the scent was overwhelmingly heavy; the air was dusty and felt heavy, like the grime was settling in my lungs. Smells are said to be the strongest link between memories. It clicked and I realised, this was Bangladesh. My mother hurried my bags and I off the plane and into the airport, I took a moment to examine my surroundings; the walls were littered with shabby posters of Bengal tigers, flowers and sunny fields for the tourists, there was pride in a nation that had so little. Before I could ponder it further, I was swept to various offices and eventually, outside.
A woman was waiting; she wore a verdant green sari as warm as her expression. I recognised her as my aunt. My mother ran to her, rejoicing in her presence; four years is a long time for sisters to be apart. My brothers were ecstatic and I… I didn’t really know her. I was the only one who didn’t spend at least three years living with her. After a forced greeting, I silently joined my cousins in the back of the car.
Hours later, we found ourselves in the chaotic streets of Dhaka, the roads were in turmoil and no traffic system was enforced. The cars wore scars and scratches from years of jostling their way through roads. Journeys that would have taken minutes back home took hours, or at least, what felt like hours. At the end of our travel we reached a towering skyscraper, guardsmen stood fixed in front of the blue gate. An oppressive atmosphere clamped down above me, ‘security measures like this for a residential building?’ I whispered, baffled. I peered out from the car, the driver window slowly rolled down, my aunt waved a card and in a matter of seconds, the gate was open.
After opening the door to her apartment, I took off my shoes, expecting to feel the cool marble floor but instead sensing a sandy, gritty substance, I looked down: more dust. Before I could even open my bags I felt a hand on mine, steering me back to the elevator all the way down it and back into the car. "We're going shopping, your mother forgot to bring some things. Is that okay?" It was... my aunt? Yes, my aunt was taking me shopping, claiming she desired some time with her much loved niece. A niece that didn't miss her. She beckoned me inside the worn car and closed the door.

Games / Sims 3 Supernatural won't appear ingame.
« on: October 01, 2012, 01:58:14 PM »
I bought Sims 3 Supernatural on Origin, downloaded and installed it. However when I load the game, it is not displayed on the launcher and does not appear in the game. I thought updating to 1.39 would help but whenever I try to update I get an "invalid file" error.
I haven't tried removing my mods but I don't want to unless that's the only way to do it.
If someone will resolve this then you'll have metaphorical hugs.

Off Topic / Pengie went to Eurogamer Expo today
« on: September 30, 2012, 05:15:01 PM »
It was kinda meh.
I played Dust, Crysis 3, Simcity 2012, Dead or Alive 5 and some other stuff I don't remember. I met a bunch of people on 3DS street pass and got my camera confiscated for a good third of the event when I was caught trying to take pictures of AC3. Then I got escorted out of the 18+ zone I wasn't supposed to be in. It was pretty fun playing the games but most of them had controllers attached and the ones that had a keyboard and mouse were all occupied so being a PC gamer who literally hasn't touched a controller since they were 10 years old, I got my ass beat pretty often, also everyone in the room was on the same team for Dust so whenever we won we all got up and high-fived eachother. I even had a video of some people humiliating themselves playing Just Dance 4 and Dance Central but they made me delete the videos on the way out.
I had an afternoon pass so I was one of the last people there, because of that, all the food was sold out and I was hungry for the whole thing.
Oh and the event was in the nice part of London so I managed to get some lovely pictures of the Thames, the House of Parliament and the London Bridge.
Discuss and if anyone wants some of the pictures I managed to sneak a few and will post them on request. Or tomorrow depending on when I go to sleep today.

Okay this isn't mine. It's by my mother. It's in Bengali so I had to translate it.

Whether she laughs or cries,
