I've just done a major exam, probably the biggest in my life. For one month, I didn't use my PS3. I went to work, came home, revised and slept. Results not out for five weeks.

I feel like i need to go on a spending spree to destress. Budgeting £200. Not enough for a downpipe or alloy refurb. Struggling for ideas.


Some audio? New amp, sub, or my personal favourite - sound deadening.

Or what about a boost gauge and nice vent pod mount for it?

I had some Hertz HSK163 speakers with sound deadening installed last year for £500 or so. An amp would be nice but means I lose some of boot - it would be a stealth install, with carpeting over the top but it would mean I lose about 3 inches from one side. The alternative would be to get rid of the spare wheel and use the wheel well. Either way it'd mean spending more than £200.

As for pods and guages, I'd prefer to keep the car looking standard as much as possible. I really want a "pop up" solution so the guages only come up when activated.

Feck it, I've decided. Time for some jcaps to replace the crappy blue caps VW use in the engine bay. Should go nicely with my R8 oil cap and Forge Twintake.

A gamer at an Internet cafe who died after a 23-hour marathon spree may have been sat dead at his PC amongst other patrons for as long as 9 hours.

The incident occurred at a New Taipei City Internet cafe, where a 23-year-old man had been playing for “at least 23 hours.”

He was found dead at his PC with arms outstretched as if playing by a female member of staff, perhaps explaining why it took so long for him to be noticed by patrons and staff.

Roughly 30 other customers were said to have been at the cafe, though none noticed he was deceased and one patron witnessed him sat at the same PC for at least 9 hours.

Police say his cause of death was cardiac arrest caused by low body temperature. There is no information as to what game he was playing when he died

Look at the picture:

I'm guessing that's not the actual dead dude, but you can see outstretched arms.

Didn't read the article and still haven't.

This is the bit I was referring to:

Do girls play with their arms outstretched? If so, why?

It's two clauses. Perhaps they should have put a comma in or rearranged it like that.

If you click the link, you'll see it's in Japanese. They don't actually have commas so the translation was a little loose. Japanese is quite minimalistic, and you often have to understand meaning by context. I think it was pretty obvious.

Not my translation btw - but the link for that is very NSFW :lol:

My comment got the most ticks up on The Times' most commented article this month - does this mean I should be a Tory?
