Quoting: HighballThat would be nice. My Sisters just buy me gift cards to Subway, the sandwich place. It really feels like a punishment at this point. If I got a Steam gift card I'd probably fall over in shock.
You can use Subway Gift Cards to buy games...... [External Link] :whistle:

Quoting: PenglingAm I the only person who can't even find the physical wallet cards anywhere? All of the places that they list as UK stockists don't seem to actually carry them!

Like so many geeks, I'm frequently told that I'm difficult to get gifts for on traditional gift-giving occasions (and I always say they don't need to worry about it, and on it goes :tongue:) - physical Steam cards actually being available would be kind of helpful.
Same here in Aus...... Even EB No Games [External Link] doesnt have physical Steam wallet cards you can buy online..... I doubt they would have any in their shoeboxed sized stores filled with Pop! Vinyls [External Link] and other "gaming" tat......

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI can't help noticing that the actual game seems to consist of moving around a small space pushing things. I guess that could be fun if the puzzles are interesting?
Its like Sokoban but with extra steps.......

Oh man The Sims..... That brings back some memories...... I use to stay up till the early morning hours playing The Sims while either listening to the crazy people on the talk back radio or listening to the police scanner..... Those were the good old days.......

I hope that Life by You can recapture the awesomeness that was the first two Sims games....... Will be keeping on that for sure........

The d-pad is superb and feels very definite when you push a direction, and the buttons are somewhat clicky and rather reminiscent of those of the Game Boy Advance SP.
Thats great to know...... Its hard to tell from just images but I was worried about the d-pad..... Its got that real cheap POP Station knockoff look about it.......

I knew you couldnt go an entire article without showing off at least a tiny bit of Bomberman merch...... :wink:
(I know what stand that it is that the Super Pocket is sitting on...... You cant fool me.....)

Wait..... You Pengling..... Bought a device that doesnt play bomberman???........ Who are you and what have you done with the real Pengling???....... :tongue:

That image always makes me laugh and is exactly how I imagine you write up these articles......

Quoting: PoliticsOfStarvingIs the battery easily replaceable and, importantly, with readily available replacement batteries?
Im also curious about that answer..... Sadly *easily* replaceable batteries arnt the norm anymore...... But we are also trying to be more environmentally friendly...... I dunno how that works.......
