The off topic thread

Ahh bummer, that's annoying! Did any of their handheld devices hook up with the PS3?

I haven't got the PS4, don't have enough time with work anymore to validate spending the money. Thought if it was something I could hook up with the PS3 it would be worthwhile. Would you recommend it knowing it would only be standalone? I'm guessing it's not that great for sports games?

Yeah I think there's only a few sports games, I find value in it but I love gaming and have alot of dead time at work I need to kill and the Vita does wonders. It's really an individual thing.

Having said that, very rarely do people cover tracks and make them better. I can only think of a few examples of that.

 

[Thistle]

I didn't find the characters likable in the slightest. MM looked bloody weird being that thin and hair in ponytail. I might give it another shot, I'll see how I go. Apparently it's great though. I turned it off with 2 mins to go in first episode.

BIT USA, Dancing In The Dark & Born To Run?

Born in the USA, Dancing in the dark and Glory Days. Dancing in the dark was the only one he did when I saw him

You see I kinda like him when he is covering really good songs. Maybe that's just cos he is a great performer but his original music just doesnt do it for me. But when he covers great songs like Friday on my Mind, Dont Change, Highway to Hell etc you can see how good he is up on stage.

Having said that, all three on the songs i mentioned, the originals are still far better.

I like them all, both as covers and the originals. The covers are different, I wouldn't say far better.

Yeah be hard pressed to find a better entertainer/better stage presence than him.

Oh he did The Bee Gees too to open the Brisbane Show

Yeah he plays that at every show.

BIT USA is ******* insane live, and Glory Days is a heap of fun.

Yeah not going to lie. Springsteen sounds average to me.

Then again all rock sounds average to me.

The evolving conversation. Does anyone have any covers that are better than the original?

Good shout on The Beatles and CCR, although Marvin Gaye's is ******* good.

Take someone like Antonio Cassano. He says he's slept with 700 women in his time, but he doesn't get picked for Italy any more. Deep down, can he really be happy? I certainly wouldn't be.

Classic

we get it, you've got the book before we do. don't need to read the whole thing in bits and pieces.
