Lightbulb What is your favourite Gadget at the minute?

So the question is easy enough "What is your favourite Gadget at the minute?"

Mine is a Radio Scanner, it picks up all sorts of stuff. CB, Avaition, Fire Service, HAM, TV Outside Broadcasr Links, Utility Companies (Security, Gas, Electric,...).

Ive heard a couple of great conversations, its certainly made me think twice about what I say and when

MadCat has a DS, she used to spend hours on the Brain Train game. Metoids was another game that she seemed to enjoy. I havent the dexterity required to use a DS. Just as well really as I already spend hours on the PC

So is Ace age any good?

its not bad i like it, but it frustrates me sometimes some of the reviews has been that its a bit repetitive cause all you do is collect animals, but it depends what your into. the main thing not to drown while collecting the animals ... there’s a bar which acts like a timer to the side and you have to collect acorns and snow flakes to make the bar go to zero. as each stage goes by the number of animals you need to collect increases.

Mine has to be my PSP
plus I've been playing around a lot with the Digital Camera I bought Mrs Nutty as a present (I did buy her a gold and Diamond Bracelet too so I can be forgiven )

I bought my daughter Ice Age 2 for the PS2 for xmas... she finished the entire game about 2 days later ...

i think if i had the time i could potentially finish it in 2 days. its kinda weird cause you don’t have to collect ALL the animals just they key one(s) and then you can go onto the next stage. i'm trying to collect all the animals plus the key one(s) which i spose is why i'm taking forever to complete it.

Very nice, what was the occasion?

My favourite gadget at the minute is my DVD/HDD Recorder. I can record TV as you would expect, but it also plays movies in mpg, divx, xvid etc...

That means I can down load stuff from the web, put it on a DVD-RW and watch it on my big tv

It also plays mp3 so I can use it as a jukebox

Oh yeah incase anybody is intrested its made by Liteon and was about £200.

Mine is my DS which I am playing Suduko Master at the minute - it's SOOOOO hard!!! Apart from that it would have to be my 30GB Creative Zen MP3 player. I have all my music collection on there, something for every mood!

I wasn't actually criticising your Gaming ability, it just amazes me how much better Kids are at these things than we are, managing to finish the game in 2 days ... anyway, I think the PS2 version may be different to the Nintendo version... In the PS2 version, you've got to go around as Scrat collecting Acorns (It's very much like Spyro the Dragon, just with the Ice Age Characters instead)

My Playtime home media center player is the best thing since sliced bread. It has it's own hd and plays most formats. Just copy all those series, movies, music and pics onto the hd and you can watch on your big screen tv. No converting or burning onto disk etc and very reasonably priced. And the best thing is no getting up and down to change disks.

Great little gadget.
