  1. On an MP3 player related note, I recently took my Zen Micro (Orange!!) to the USA with me, when I got there it really didn't want to work and I was worried the Texan X-Ray machines had fried it's precious insides.

     

    Upon my return I've fully charged it and it had to do some re-jigging or something, but it's worked and my playlist is intact. So don't worry about it people.

     

    Still, I'd maybe suggest putting your MP3 player in the little pot things they provide rather than leaving it in your hand luggage to be scanned.

  2. Unlucky buddy, but you're right to train for frisbee, it's an excellent pursuit and you'll need some work to get to the kind of level I'm at.

     

    To cheer you up here's a picture of a dog sitting in it's food bowl taken by me!

  3. Yep as far as I know the postman left them all for me. The King Kong demo I filled in some form on a website, the USB stuff I ordered from Amazon.co.uk (inc free super saver delivery!) and the dongle was from my old friends at Gameplay. Oh, and I subscribe to EDGE magazine.

  4. ohh goodies. whatss your loot?

     

    A dongle, an SD card reader, USB joypad for playing MK64 online (don't download ROMs people!!), a USB splitter thing, King Kong demo that I hadn't expected to get, latest issue of EDGE that arrived while I was in the US... and I think that is mostly it.

  5. I really should be in bed, having just got home from lots of flights and waiting in airports and a long drive home. But I've got a load of goodies that had come through the post for me, so I'm just having a quick look at those before I get some much needed sleep.

  6. The thing whats annoying me now is all these comments going around about Xbox360 over heating, freezing etc..

     

    Surely people didn't think that every console out of the 1 million + in the USA was going to work perfectly?

     

    So should your 360 freeze every few mins, overheat or explode can we expect a post along the lines of "Well, I just guess that's the way it goes with a new console launch, I'll very happily wait for a replacement and not complain like the annoying people"?

     

    Come on Owen, you'll murder your family if you don't get it on launch day as it is.

  7. So, True or False, is the PS3 sexier and twice as capable?

     

    Having played both machines for hours and hours I'd say no.

     

    It's more like three and a half times sexier, and four times... no, five times as capable.

  8. Another trailer that irritated me a bit was for M. Night Shyamalan's new film, Lady In The Water. Not only is the guy obsessed with having twists and silly things in all his films, now he needs them in his trailers!

     

    He should drop the made up and pretentious "Night" from his name and maybe just call himself Twisty McGee or something.

  9. I don't know if you guys saw the new Superman trailer when you saw Potter, but it's looking like they should just rename the film "Jesusman". I'm not all that into the mythology of Superman, thinking him one of the most boring and unoriginal superheroes there are.

     

    Anyhow, the trailer has his dad saying "I'm sending my only son to save humanity!" while Superman is shown flying over the Earth looking all Superman-ish.

  10. I couldn't wait until the 10pm showing I'd got tickets for last night, so went to an 11am one as well before that.

     

    Feelings about the film are pretty mixed. If you've read the book, like me you'll probably be a bit dissapointed at some of the changes.

     

    Special effects are good once again, the acting is better, shame there's not more from Snape and Sirius. There's no Mrs Weasley at all. The Quidditch World Cup scene is a bit of a gip, it sets up a fantastic looking stadium, the teams make their entrances and then that's it, none of the match is shown.

     

    The film has to get an extra point or two for uses of the words "mental" and Ron telling Harry to piss off when he gets in a bit of a grump with him.

     

    In one of the previous films I recall finding Ron's twin brother's a bit annoying, in this one though they're quite amusing and put to better use.

     

    The first showing I went to was pretty strange, some kid (I couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl) started a trivia quiz with the audience before the film started. He/she was getting people to answer questions and then ask each other them, I just sat thinking that I couldn't ever picture that happening at home.

     

    Anyhow, the film's good, but like POA feels rushed and a bit confused in places, it's funnier than other ones have been and Voldermort's return is done well.

     

    If you're a Potter fan I'm sure you'll enjoy it, if not then why the hell would you go and watch it anyhow?

  11. Do you know what time they changed them odds at all?

     

    As hopefully my bet would have been registered before then.

     

     

    It would have told you at the time you made your bet what odds you were betting at.

     

    You can also log in and check your betting slip, which again will tell you what odds you made your bet at.
