Amazing how a phone I bought for 44k 9 months ago is in the 60k-100k section. Amazing what inflation can do.

Anyway, great to see my new favourite phone is on the list! Huawei P9 Plus! Dual Leica camera with true monochrome? I want!

Sweet list man, but why put the P1 and not show the rear? That in itself, is a mistake. The back of the P1 is beautiful.

Koenigsegg, first time I heard of that make was from PGR2. With the sweetly named Koenigsegg CCV8S.

sup cao been looking for you lol, just have a question i wanna set up my xbox1, nd i was told told i need a stepdown, so i was wondering if i could use a stabilizer instead?

Listen mate, not the same thing. I'm assuming your Xbox might have been bought from North America? The reason you'd need a step-down would be because your console uses 110v.

An easy way to ascertain this is to check the power brick and look for 'input' and what is written beside it. If it's 110v, then you definitely need a step down transformer, NOT the same as a stabilizer.

If it's 220v, then no step-down needed. But use a stab, just to keep the voltage entering the console stable. And a UPS if you wanna be able to turn it off properly.

It might be 110v-220v, in which case you can use it as well, without a step-down. But once again, I suggest you protect your stuff with a stab/ups.

A little story to tell you to drive the point home.

When I returned from Canada, I came with my Xbox. 110v. We got a step-down and everything. As a stupid kid, one day the voltage was low, and there I was, wondering why it wouldn't turn on. Bright idea.

'maybe the voltage is too low? '

Push the plug into the 220v slot of the transformer (it was a step up/step down transformer)...

Boom!

Anyway, it was later fixed, but just trying to let you know what might happen if you use a higher voltage than stated as Input.

And sorry for the derail.

Hey guys.

Back in 2003, my dad bought me and my brothers a limited edition translucent green Xbox. Thing is still alive today, although I softmodded it and switched out the HDD for a larger one, so not exactly stock.

I played a whole bunch of different games on that baby, and a lot of them were fantastic. Others were, well, meh.

I know around here, most people have Playstations and all, but did anyone here own an Xbox? Not 360, and not One. Im talking about the original Xbox, the one that marked Microsoft's dive into console gaming.

If you had one, what were your favourite games?

Games I enjoyed immensely include Project Gotham Racing 2, Quantum Redshift, Jet Set Radio Future, Burnout 3: Takedown, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, MechAssault, and of course, Halo 2. Blinx: The Time Sweeper was pretty darn good, and NFSU2 as well!

The games I remember for their, well, underwhelming gameplay, include, Winback 2: Project Poseidon and Batman: Dark Tomorrow.

Ah, such good times.

"The only true Gods are the ones that don't say. "
But seriously, what is this?

OP is a fake blogger if this is found true. Thanks brother. You just strengthened my resolve to always carry out independent research rather than believe half truths and misinformation.

You're welcome.

Not that you should doubt everything, but it's very important to take the information of 3rd parties with a pinch of salt. Or a whole spoon if you must. Helps you weed out the untruths.

I won't have another classmate telling me he has a Nintendo 64 360.

And you na want to add photography to it. . .

Welcome sir!!

Bros, no vex na! This one is certified whining.

But thanks, I appreciate it!

Star Citizen isn't out yet, definitely why I haven't heard of it. They could do better though with the marketing. Same way everyone I knew wouldn't shut up about No Man's Sky.

Regarding FFVII, Google says it went for $45m, equivalent to $66m today. Although it was the most expensive at the time.
I dunno where you got that value from though. Cuz I think Square Enix would have been deemed absolutely insane to spend over $200m on a game back then.

HyDef, I keep hearing it being compared to Team Fortress 2 (never played it). I don't know why you thought of Ubisoft...This is Blizzard's first original IP since 1998.

Sorry Hiroto, I don't do PC reviews, my laptop is an entry level gaming laptop. Only PS4.

Never played TF2 either, but it was actually the second thing to pop up in my head. Maybe based on the online multiplayer-only gameplay.

That's why I was even more surprised at it being Blizzard... But first IP since 98?? Jeez. Guess Warcraft and Starcraft had them unconcerned.

PS: Was just reading some about the game, and read about Lucio, a character seemingly inspired by JSRF. Score, I guess. :p

The game looks like great fun.

I was first attracted to it when I watched Conan play it with Tyrion & Cersei. :p (Conan O'Brien: Clueless Gamer with Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey.)

The game reminded me heavily of JSRF, which is admittedly one of the best games I've ever played.

Unfortunately, in terms of gaming, I'm in the stone age, having played a few titles from the generation of the 360, but this is one game I'd love to play. Hopefully by the time I get the chance it won't have lost its spark.

Once again, looks good, and I'd love to jump into multiplayer without the fear of having my many deaths inputted into some professionals YouTube reel.

PS: I know you said it's Blizzard, but for some reason, I kept thinking the game was Ubisoft... I dunno why.

The beauty in the broken.

Good work everyone! Nice to see y'all did well with last week's challenge.
Shoutout to Victoriousvic, Feraz, Ujsizzle, docbindl, and SmooshCHN.
I'll partake in this week's challenge! I promise

A military car carrying an important letter
must cross a desert. There is no petrol
station in the desert, and the car's fuel tank
is just enough to take it half way across.
There are other cars with the same fuel
capacity that can transfer their petrol to one
another. There are no canisters or rope to
tow the cars.
How can the letter be delivered?
You can play a little game with model cars to
simulate this puzzle.

Amount of cars isn't stated, but let's assume there are 8 cars. All eight cars begin to drive. A quarter through the desert, all cars have half a tank. At this point four of the cars transfer their half tanks to the rest. So now four cats are empty, and four have full tanks.

Those with full tanks proceed, and when their tanks are at half again, 2 transfer all their fuel to the other two, which would give 2 full tanks. Enough to deliver the letter.

Set him up. Carry someone go. Let the person act like your husband and catch you guys together. But make sure you have his voice recording asking for sex in exchange for the job. Just before you enter his room, let your bobo jump in and cause commotion then make him pay to be let off the hook.shikena. send a copy of the recording and video if possible to his employers too.

Brilliant, sounds just like Focus.

Interesting. Although a Google search seems to verify this news, I hardly believe Turing can achieve such.

They couldn't even meet up with delivery schedules for the Turing phone. They delayed deliveries like what, 4 times?

And they used a crowdfunding platform, that might be the same approach this time around though. Probably the only way to ensure minimal loss on a phone of such... Vision.

That way they only produce as many as we're requested, rather than eventually finding out no one wants a 3000 dollar phone.

Something to relax. A slim young man asked a girl on a date: "I say something. If it is truthful, will you give me your photo?" "Yes," replied miss. "And if it is a lie, do not give me your photograph. Would you promise that?" The girl agreed. Then the chap said such a sentence, that after a little while of thinking she realized, that if she wanted to honor her promise, she wouldn't have to give him a photo but a kiss . What would you say (if you were him) to be kissed and so on?

"You won't give me a kiss."

annnikky:
Imagine there are 3 coins on the table: gold, silver, and copper. If you make a truthful statement, you will get one coin. If you make a false statement, you will get nothing. What sentence can guarantee you getting the gold coin?

"I will not get the silver or copper coins."

Victoriousvic:
First entry.

Holy crud. Amazing picture man. Absolutely amazing.



And happy belated birthday to UjSizzle... Sorry I'm late.
Got tests coming up this week and the next. Hopefully I'll get a photo in this week.

Beware of women who wield baseball bats.

But seriously, she had a baseball bat handy? In a country where baseball isn't even played? Does that mean it was bought purely as weaponry?

If yes, that's suweet.

Aww man... This laptop is a true beauty.

I've always loved ASUS, despite the only ASUS I've ever owned being a desktop back in 2000 or so.

Look at that design. Then the ROG subbrand is just incredible. Some of the best bang for buck at the midrange, then the most devastating machines at the high end.

I've always wanted a ROG. Maybe one day I'll be able to get this one..

If I wanted to spend 500,000 naira (update: 945,000 naira says Google), it'd be on this.

Suck a duck Mac.

How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you, even if it doesn't bounce off anything? There is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it back to you.

SHEIKH'S INHERITANCE
An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower wins. After wandering aimlessly for days, the brothers ask a wise man for guidance. Upon receiving the advice, they jump on the camels and race to the city as fast as they can. What did the wise man say to them?

I know this one!
"Switch Camels!"

How did you get P ?

Each letter is a certain number of letters away from the next. It goes, 1, 2,3,then back to 1 and so on. So between A and C is 1 letter, B. Then between C and F is 2 letters. It also jumps down to the next line from the point it stopped, rather than resetting to the start of the line.

Here's a picture that might better explain.
