Hi Ash
How much it set you back?
Harr. All your table are belong to us :^)
It's heavier than I'd expected. In truth, I'm slightly worried about having it on the top floor.
Then again, it came with a nice table-top cover, so I could suggest keeping it downstaris, cunningly disguised as a normal table.
Although that'd limit what use I could get out of it.
Also, id doesn't have independent leg levellers, so getting a proper flat playing surface might be a bit of a ball-ache.
(I love that expression, it's so perfectly descriptive. Among men at least.)
More money gone though :^(
Ah well, it was dirt cheap considering.

I have an old table in my shed that we got relayed a few years back. I think its a little smaller than 6 ft, but it used to get plenty of use.
Good luck with this new table buyage, Duck.

Picking it up tomorrow (later today). I wonder what I'll do with my old mdf beast. I doubt anyone would pay money for it..
I used to have a little 6ft MDF/hardboard table and it soon became warped, but i suppose leaving outside while it rained didnt really help :^P Even tho it did have a tarp over it...
Hmm. I just bought a cheap 6ft slate bed snooker table on ebay.
Hopefully, it'll roll level, unlike my twisted and warped MDF number.
And will generally be a good cheap alternative to a proper pub pool table.
I think it's a bit of a risky thing to ebuy though. So much depends on the slate being good and level, and on all the little details you never get to see in the listings...
It definitely needs some serious TLC first, and I have to go pick it up (heavy), which may mean missing my weekend to blackpool :^(
Ah well, if a bit of tlc will bring it back to good condition, it'll all be worth it.

Solskjær, your levels seem good enough now to go for it, but beforehand, the two bounties you're looking for.. well the Golden Ship guy (very funny when you beat him, he tries to come on to Vyse, much to Vyse's horror) is located in the Lands of Ice, and above the clouds, near the Aurora discovery. The Ixa'ness Demons (after you have recruited Tikatika), will be Southwest of Horteka. Lord Zvilian Bane is in Soltis itself.
Piastol the Angel of Death can be faced four times in all. She reveals some intresting back story about Aika & Vyse if you complete that, as does Doc if you get enough Moonfish. Hmm.. maybe the two are connected ;^)
Finally, it seems you've found two of the four giant monsters.. there's two more, a huge white looper found between the Stone Reef and the Dark Rift, East of Yafutoma. And a huge spider.. that's somewhere over the Lands of Ice if I remember.
Hamachou Island is great, the man giving you stats about your game tells me each time I've never run from a battle - a proud acheivement :) *Chirpy Cutlass Fury* :^D

Anita and Faina might get it, but you nailed Vyze too?
Ah well, whatever floats your (sky) boat

Heh, I think you'll get him next time, they add a lot of health between them.

Nooo....
I loved the Zivyln(sp) Bane battles (although was pished off at not being able to do anything with those artifacts that little blue thing with the beer gut and helicopter hat wanted...). It just seemed fitting that you should fight them all on the way to completing the game.
Tip: They won't create more than 4 on screen at once, so you can control how many you're taking on by using sleep spells.
And I'm not sure if my memory is accurate, but I think only the original Bane will use the pipes of doom - so take him out first. Preferably while all the others sleep.
