    I found out what the problem was, I was connecting it to my Base Unit, and not through my PC moniter, which I have now changed and was working fine. But seems my moniter has no other ports, so I can't have sound :/

     

    Put the sound through your PC and it'll coem out your PC speakers (although you PC will need to be on)

    Question, I just bought a VGA cable for the 360, since I want to play it on my PC moniter, but after plugging it in, how the hell do I get the picture? Is it meant to come up automaticly?

     

    Also, where do I plug the Red and White cables in the back of my computer?

     

    I put them into a minijack adapter (which I think came with the VGA cable) and then into the line-in socket on my PC, next to the speaker input and mic input.

     

    Do you have your PC going into your monitor by VGA or something else like HDMI?

    You downloaded something claiming to be GTA:SA in an exe file, double clicked it, it did something and vanished and then the process was locked in a way that implied it was running hidden in the background. If that happened to me I'd be virus scanning the shit out of my PC as we speak. I suggest grabbing AGV free if you've not already got a fully up-to-date anti-virus package.

    I'm on Virgin. Like has been said, good internet and phone, crap TV. Don't watch much TV so it doesn't bother me too much. The main problem isn't the channels, more the clunky, slow, shit interface which is prone to freezing and/or generally going bananas when you're trying to find something to watch.

    Played through the demo and can't really see what all the fuss is about, seemed pretty meh. Looked well done but was just another samey linear FPS set in the same kind of post-apocalyptic environment we've seen thousands of times before, albeit this time underwater. I don't understand why this is being considered some kind of revolution, we've had magical powers at our fingertips as an alternative to firepower in plenty of FPS's, and as far as I can tell the weapon progression is identical to every other FPS under the sun (Crowbar>Pistol>Machine Gun>Rocket Launcher>Sniper>Experimental/Alien Weapon)

     

    Same with the enemies, creepy schoolgirls were done in F.E.A.R, Prey and Silent Hill, and the crazed mutant humans are the staple food of 99% of games out there.

     

    Like I say, it looks polished but I don't see why people are frothing at the mouth over it as if it's some kind of new level in gaming when it's just another FPS.

    I wouldn't say I hate England, just don't really care too much. I sit and watch the world cup matches cos it's footy and it's a good excuse for some day time drinking and I'd prefer England to win. but I'd rather Newcastle won the carling cup, or even just qualified for Europe than for England to win the world cup if I had to make a choice, they're just not on the same level for me.

    Nowt to do with Wembly or the london press for me. It's more the fact that most of the players on the pitch I've spent that last year screaming shit at or watching them score against us. So it's a bit hypocritical of me to start singing their praises, like the folk who called Shearer a wanker and then were his best mate when he pulled on a white jersey. Also people who consider themselves first and foremost "England fans" and follow the national team more than their club tend to be dickends. And a lot of the Ingerlund mob are from right twattish teams like Stoke. Plus, although I'll happily go and watch international matches, the pubs always full of either the afformentioned knuckle draggers singing about 'pakis', turks and the IRA, or chinless gimps and clueless wifeys with their face painted who've not given a fuck about football for the past 2 years but are now soopafans, misguidedly thinking England are going to win something rather than just die on their arse against Estonia or someone again because England players are, with a few obvious exeptions, over-priced, overpaid, over-hyped and too lazy to move abroad to earn their stripes like foreign players have to.

     

    That and those fucking flags on cars.

     

    Edit: Sam Allardyce on why foreign players are better value for money, in the Times last week:

    It has become a worldwide search. In my playing days, clubs could look around at home and come up with a top centre-forward, like [Paul] Mariner, [Joe] Royle or [Malcolm] Macdonald. What have we got on offer in Britain now? [Peter] Crouch, [Kevin] Davies and [shola] Ameobi. Enough said.”

    :laughing:

    I noticed the press going on about how it was bad for England and ignoring what it meant for man u, made me feel slightly better about the ***** harping on about "England's Micheal Owen" and what his injuries meant for England as if we were just borrowing him and broke him.

     

    I'm not much of an Ingerlund fan either for what it's worth.

    I went to Blaydon races

    Twas on the 9th of June

    Eighteen Hundred and Sixty Two

    On a summer's afternoon

    I took the bus from Balmbras

    And she was heavy laden

    Away we went along Collingwood Street

    To see the race at Blaydon

     

    Oh me lads, you should've seen us gannin

    Passing the folks along the road

    And all of them were starin'

    All the lads and lasses there

    They all had smilin' faces

    Gannin along the Scotswood Road

    To see the Blaydon races

     

    Away at Barcalona, to the tune of the Harry Roberts:

    Basil Fawlty is our friend, is our friend, is our friend,

    Basil Fawlty is our friend, he hits Spaniards,

    Hit's the bastards with a spoon, with a spoon, with a spoon,

    I'm just pretty damn disappointed to see them play like this.

     

    Play like what? Effective? Great way to play at Old Trafford, I'd be happy to see every team outside the top 4 play like that there.

     

    To be honest, we're going to be in for a very long and boring season if teams continue to play like this.

     

    It'll be 10 times as boring if teams go to grounds like Old Trafford and turn over like good little minnows, just acting as fillers between the games between the big four and to make up the numbers. I know that's what the marketing dept and the Far East 'fans' want, every match to be the Harlem Globe Trotters against some no-marks, but it's better for the game if teams are willing to play ugly and grind out unexpected results.

     

    If your game plan for the season if to expect teams like Reading to come to old trafford and play open attacking football so you can breeze through them and stick four or five past each game, you're not going to hold on to the title very long.

    The Observer supplement today has a feature rating the best away trips in the country and Newcastle are top with 9/10

     

    What's it like?

    Full of half-nude Geordies with moobs. Brilliant cathedral-like ground looming over the city, all stands enclosed with distinct, slightly uneven stands. Features the largest cantilevered structure in Europe for the beardies to admire, and its still full of character.

     

    And the away end?

    The sky. It's up 14 flights of stairs at the top of the St John Hall Stand. Room for 3,000. Great views of the city, but you're a long way from the pitch - shirt numbers can be a blur. Good acoustics, though, and the legroom and steepness of the tier are perfect.

     

    Overall trip rating 9.

    Doesn't get much better than this. Massive ground, city-centre location, huge range of pubs and usually ultra-friendly, in a non-cheesy way. It's a must-visit.

     

    Full list of ratings:

    Newcastle - 9

    Everton & Villa - 8

    Villa, Portsmouth, Mackems, West Ham, Spurs, Birmingham - 7

    Man Utd & Arsenal - 6

    Bolton, Chelsea, Liverpool, Reading - 5

    Blackburn & Man City - 4

    Wigan & Derby - 3

    Boro - 1
