I wont post the links but there are a couple of sites that I usually look at to see what games are out but at the moment neither are loading....

Anyone else finding this? As I said I wont get into specific names but both are quite high profile sites.

Does anyone know what is happening here? Very curious indeed.

First of all who cares if you cant go to youre crap rom sites? They are probably having server problems and will be back later. Second dont double post, it makes you look like a newb. Third if you type "nds roms" into google, wether its canadian or not, will get you more website to download from.

It's still all good. I can work around the issue (I too have numerous other sources but normally have two main ones). I just thought it was curious that two quite separate sites were down at the same time. Thought maybe the big N had come down with a hammer blow.

You may not have liked what he said, but he is right.

THE thing is, I don't trust rom sites, many of them are pretty shady, even for PIRATEs.
I prefer bittorrent, it seems to keep the shady sites at BAY, and you get them pretty fast, especially if you look for well seeded popular torrents.

Not really... NDS ROMs are between 8Mb and 256Mb and I've rarely come across torrents that are well seeded for more than a few months - meaning older games are often hard as hell to get a hold of via torrents. Which is why I prefer the only source I bother with, the one Anandjones is a part of, since it's very much awesome in terms of speed and availability.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
