Arcade ROM Heaven

Just got the kids one, amazing little toy they are, be interesting to see how long the interest is for though. Wii Sports is a great little package to throw in with the console, I have friends who have that and only play that on the Wii, it is enough for them. I also got a USB Gecko with it, too bad this is the worst documented piece of hardware ever sold. After my trip I will spend some time trying to figure it all out.

If you have been online for over a year and never brought anything from Deal Extreme I don't know what you have been doing with your time. Their $2 bargain bin is great, you can buy any gadget you can think off from there. Just about to order some AceKard 2 for me and some friends, cheaper than the cost of 1 NDS game.

Carbon poker has everything I want n online play. The GUI is amazing, the variations in games is amazing, the special features are amazing. Only 1 thing, it is Australian based and I can't join because I live in Australia, apparently we aren't allowed to gamble online in Australia

Played Queensland Poker Events free poker grand final last weekend, came 29th from 400, got $50 in my kit for that, that's the only bright spot I have only placed in 1 sit n go of the 20 I have played at Full Tilt Poker, I can't believe how unlucky I am at this site, take this for example. I am playing a $5 sit n go with 9 people, pays top 3, we get down to 4 people and everyone is folding to the blinds, no-one is making a move, I have the second smallest stack, about $1900. I get dealt QQ and push all-in, blinds are 300/600, correct play, next guy calls and guy after calls, they turn over KK and AA, I had no chance.

They also run a tournament style called "knockout", every time you knockout a player you get 1/6 of your buy-in back. I have placed in everyone of these I have played, but I am still

In all the time I have been playing online poker I have deposited $150 over 3 years, this has kept me playing almost daily, I play $2,$3,$5,$10 & $20 sit & go's. I have never had more than $300 in my account though. I just joined up at Full Tilt to gain some more poker software, Poker Office, I managed to qualify for 100 FTP quite easily playing pot limit tables. I still had $60 of my $80 deposit left. I decided to play the standard $5 9 player SNG. I have now lost the last 8 games on the bubble, I have been outdrawn with pocket AA twice, pocket KK three times and pocket QQ twice. The three best starting hands in poker have killed me 8 times in a row on the bubble, always called by weak starting hands and getting beaten, change of luck required very soon or back to depositing I go

After watching the doco below I went searching the Twin Galaxies high scores. The one for Dragon's Lair is crap, I got 1.6 million one Saturday morning at Mt Warren Bowl, piece of cake. Also the Bubble Bobble one is quite ordinary too, if only I had some time up my sleeve and a partner to play it with, could kick the single and 2 player scores with ease.
