http://www.yha.org.uk/find-accommodation/east-of-england/hostels/cambridge/index.aspxIs the closest hostel I could find, about 15 minute walk away from the bistro. I'd like to add that at the hostel mentioned above (YHA) it's possible to book rooms for up to 9 people and they (according to their online system) even have rooms available for that time. I'd set up such a room, but seeing that my own attendance isn't completely decided until 28th December I might not be the best person for that, so I'm just going to do it like last time and latch onto any opportunity that arises in the last second.

There are some hostels nearby that should be ideal, should be able to book as a group.
Hah, really wouldn't mind getting in with the same people as in Berlin again, but this time around most of them probably live somewhere in the area :D

I can only say for sure whether I can come after 28th December (I have absolutely no control over that, sadly) but I do absolutely plan to come, so sign me up.
Did you book the so called "Function Room" of that Bistro?

Player / General / AVG Problems

Just a shout-out to other people, in case they have the same problem:
I'm running Windows 7 64-Bit here and had been running AVG Free 8 virus protection just dandy all the time, but recently AVG prompted me to upgrade to version 9 which I did.
Upon restart, my system started to freeze up after a few minutes of usage (like, complete freeze, no bluescreen, no event log, nothing) and after searching for a good while on what could cause that problem (Win7 freezing is a bit general) I stumbled upon some forum discussion that discussed in long detail how the wrong RAM voltage can cause your system to freeze and yadda yadda and one guy mentioned aside that "he had the same problem and it was caused by AVG". So I tried uninstalling it and my system runs fine again now.
So, long story short: If you're on Win7 and your system has been freezing randomly all of sudden try removing AVG and see if that fixes it before you search hours for a solution or even format your HD.

The Wiimote + Nunchuck has more than enough buttons anyway. I don't get why so many games include the wiggling as the equivalent of a button press.  I like that Wiimote + Nunchuck is essentially a broken up controller that I can hold in comfortable ways I never could hold a normal controller in. About the DS, I think the initial wave of tacked on touch controls was mostly because it was NEW and INNOVATIVE and everybody was so into that shit. I'm glad that the majority of games by now know when the touch controls are necessary and when they aren't. Wii probably still has waggle at the most unnecessary places simply because it's the only thing setting it apart from the PS2/Dreamcast (not trying to troll here, I love my Wii).

I have no idea what Primer is but if that is its plot it has me interested enough to read/watch/play it.

The final boss will be Zeus who is actually you from the future who tries to prevent you from slaying Zeus because slaying Zeus makes you become the new Zeus and he doesn't want to be Zeus because he hates Zeus but you will take none of that shit and slay him regardless.
