...Physco...you need to teach them how to pause and then you will not have to distress yourelf about such matters ever again.

psychomum5 · 20/01/2009 22:35

they pause???

WHY DO THEY NOT KNOW THIS???

SlartyBartFast · 20/01/2009 22:36

i am not going to be held accountable fr where you put the tip of yoru ball point pen.

solidgoldsoddingjanuaryagain · 20/01/2009 22:38

Oh, doesn't sticking a ballpoint in their little furry holes bring them indignantly back to life then?

(looks at assorted small animal corpses and realises what was doing wrong, hides ballpoints).

GodzillasBumcheek · 20/01/2009 22:40

Is it a tamagotchi?

If it is a tamagotchi i think the last version paused, but if it is a 'Tamagotchi Familitchi' (you would know by there being three little monsters on the screen, i would kill it because they cannot be paused

I know because my DTDs got one each for christmas. However, you can turn the sound off and leave it to starve [devil]

SlightlyMadScientist · 20/01/2009 22:41

Oh...I assumed that because teh V4 tamagotchi's could be paused so could teh familitchi (which I interpretted yours as because of the chimney)

GodzillasBumcheek · 20/01/2009 22:42

Ah, it is the familitchi one then....oh dear.

Btw they come back different

And your DCs will know

They always know

[eye twitches in a manic fashion]

psychomum5 · 20/01/2009 22:42

yes, there are (were) three wiggly things on the screen, plus a chimney on top of the plastic casing.

so, cannot be paused but can be silenced.......

OP posts:
psychomum5 · 20/01/2009 22:45

oh they will know ok, cos I have not touched them since they left for school, and ergo, could not have fed them or cared for them.

I instead listened to the infernal beeping, and went even more psycho that I already am.

and then became a , murderer........

but I hold MN up to be complicit in said murder.

you are all going down with me!!!

OP posts:
SlightlyMadScientist · 20/01/2009 22:47

Apparently you can pause it....you tell it to travel and then it is paused (according to youtube

I had a virtual pet once. My DP bought me it. It was called kinky Koala and I used to enjoy making it rub up and down trees

GodzillasBumcheek · 20/01/2009 22:47

Yes they can be silenced, but you'll have to find out how for yourself cos theirs are...inoperational

(Hope my sister doesn't realise but my DDs got fed up with not being able to pause them, took the batteries out and put them in their old Version 4s as the batteries in them had run out ages ago).

JackBauer · 20/01/2009 22:47

I can do things with a ballpoint that definately do not bring things back to life.

GodzillasBumcheek · 20/01/2009 22:48

SMS - ooo, i will have to look into that! Might be able to save the lives of the little familitchis!

SlightlyMadScientist · 20/01/2009 22:48

run up trees

here for pausing info

psychomum5 · 20/01/2009 22:50

sorry, but @ "rub up and down tree's".

I know you have corrected yourself, but even so.....that is sooooooooo funny

OP posts:
psychomum5 · 20/01/2009 22:51

jack.......I have images that are not good now going on in my head, pens figuring highly!

OP posts:
SlightlyMadScientist · 20/01/2009 22:52

better that killing pure wee inocent little Japanese pixelated blobs.....

JackBauer · 20/01/2009 22:54

Sorry psycho, couldn;t resist. Altho if you are not a 24 fan it might have sounded a bit....um....odd.

Am sniggering at rubbing trees though

GodzillasBumcheek · 20/01/2009 22:55

Erm, call me annoying (and you probably will), but further down the page it tells you that that solution (sending them travelling) doesn't work!

Just tie it to a railroad and wait for a train to come along...

SlightlyMadScientist · 20/01/2009 22:56

Sorry.....don't shoot the messenger

SlightlyMadScientist · 20/01/2009 22:59

Actually even the tamagotchi forum says that travelling is the pause option and that is why it is free.

GodzillasBumcheek · 20/01/2009 23:00

well i dunno! Took the batteries out remember

psychomum5 · 20/01/2009 23:09

Jack......am not a 24 fan I will admit, altho flame is hoping for me to be.....she is you see!!

so, travelling does not work then?? what about travelling on a ship, and 'man over-board'.... would that work?

OP posts:
GodzillasBumcheek · 20/01/2009 23:10

Noooooo....just read an online manual and you're right, the travel show is supposed to be a pause function.

now, how do i get the kids to try again, and what's more - do i really want them to?
