  1. Battle Royale Remake

    This news has only encouraged me to go out and buy that DVD now. Such a classic, did Kinju direct BR2? I havent seen that one, mainly because its nowhere to be found near by, but if he did I may as well trawl ebay for a copy of it.
  2. Apple MacBook: shit.

    I bought mine from the apple store in Birmingham, but other people I know who bought one said that (for the basic model) it took about a week to get it from apple from date of purchase.
  3. Apple MacBook: shit.

    I am writing this on my macbook right now and all I can say is that anyone proclaiming it to be shit just because of the graphics card hasn't got a clue. This thing is fast, light, portable and cheap. The only complaint I have is that base RAM isn't enough, but thats only about £60 to fix. I have installed windows and that runs unbelievably well- games like Guild Wars run smoothly and HD trailers are amazing. For a student like me, its the best thing I have ever purchased (writing essays on the new keyboard is so easy ) But for anyone getting this, I have one warning- while it is a great purchase, don't expect to have it on your lap for too long. The area near the magsafe port gets HOT. In reply to something earlier, iphoto and imovie are fine (but upgrade the RAM) but photoshop is USELESS. It isnt universal yet and is being emulated in Rosetta, so it runs at an awful rate. If you want to use it, then wait for them to make it universal (2007) or just use it in windows.
  4. The 2006 GCSE Thread

    Spend the night at a teachers house? Thank god that didn't happen...
  5. The 2006 GCSE Thread

    So no-one had the three exam combo of ICT, eng lit and latin virgil? I was the only one sitting there for 5 and a half hours?
  6. BBC: Argh, this doesn't sound right...

    What I want to know is in what game are the ninjas? I havent heard anything about them, but I am sure curious now...
  7. Bands you're seeing in 2006

    Looks like alot of people are seeing Iron Maiden- I'm seeing them in the NEC as well. But, before that... RHCP in Coventry!
  8. Laptops ...

    Yeh, I had an acer as well- it was very porrly made. Flimsy, cheap and very breakable and after a year (a few days out of warranty) the DVD drive, battery and charger all broke. It had a good spec, but I would never buy an Acer again.
  9. Home Cinema Computer

    Hey all, I need a little help... Recently, I decided to make a home cinema system (projector, amplifier etc) and was wondering, what is the best media PC for such a set up? I have tons of movies and music on my hard drive and wanted an easy way to put it all on the screen- a media PC. I am currently thinking mac mini because its small, cheap and mac (Ive always wanted one). But I really would like any input from you guys about a better one. Thanks
  10. *GAME Phasing Out Gamecube Stock!*

    You all seem surprised? In Europe, the gamecube has been dead for a very long time- this is only a buisness desicion. Sony isnt paying them to do this nor are they paying them for shelve space- it just happens that the European home console market is Sony's bitch.
  11. Books

    Terry Pratchett- All an amazingly funny series of books. The Dark Tower series- Stephen King- Im on Wolves of Callia atm and I'm loving it, an awesome series.
  12. Looks very good but remember- its the actual written work that counts. I havent even done an excel project with any sort of formulas and I'm on 36 Just make sure the things is extended and that it looks pretty. From what I can see, it looks like a good project. Oh, and a name... AnimeCentral?
  13. Video iPod battery

    Could well be a faulty battery. How old is it?
  14. Gamer commits suicide

    http://www.gameroobie.net/art/2940 This hugely depressed me. Not the actions of the other forumer, they had no idea, but that someone would actually kill themselves. I know its a regretably common thing, but seeing this really brought it to my attention and its just... saddening....
  15. Gamer commits suicide

    Yeh, I know about it but to do it this way? Having all these people thinking its a joke, probably laughing and dying in such a horribly painful way is just weird. How can anyone want to die? How do you know there is anything waiting for you when you do die?
  16. Guild Wars: factions

    I dont know how many of you play guild wars, but this weekend is the factions pvp weekend! We get to play with the new professions and skills and we can try out the battle isles, the new pvp area. Im going to be online all weekend (sleep? pfft, only noobs sleep) and I hope I will see you all there. heres a summary of all the info plus how you can get a free copy to try out this weekend: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106534 BTW, im looking for a guild so if anyone would take me on board...
  17. Guild Wars: factions

    My name is Monkin Magic or Reapers Arrow Yeh, there are alot of ex-blizzard people in the arenanet team and the influences of WoW do show. As/Ri will be the first thing I do this weekend, and then spend some of the damn faction I earned :P
  18. DVD upscaling

    In any sort of conversion, some quality will be lost. That said, it won't be too much so you will get a better picture than a standard 480i, but not quite what a native output would get you. Close, but not quite.
  19. Do you have a blog?

    I think I shall have to go for 5, I hate them. Most blogs I dont mind, but the stupid self-rightous 'if only I was president then the whole world would be beautiful' ones really annoy me. Let maddow educate you http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=banish
  20. Funeral Song

    Probably 'When September Ends'- green day
  21. GCSE's

    Now, I imagine most of you have passed this little stage in life already but I am now living it and its a bitch. The pressures huge and the hours are long. Anyone got any advice or just something to stop me killing myself?
  22. Scrunch or Fold

    Folding because thats how I was brought up and damned if Im going to change.
  23. MacWorld 2006 - Steve Jobs Keynote

    Well, those are some seriously good laptops but as far as I am concerned this is only important in one aspect... DUAL BOOTING MAC ON PC'S!! Seriously, they already managed to crack the 'work in progress' tiger to get it on non-apple computers and now that the OS is officialy out, that means its only a short time until we have the mods needed to use it on normal computers! Hell, if apple released tiger for PC I would buy it. We know they wont so this will have to do.
  24. password protect my folders

    Not really. The laptop I bougth a year ago was fat32 and the PC my brother just bought is as well. Each manufactuer has different preferences.
  25. Rapture TV - Channel 288

    Every UK channel that has ever done games has either been awful or become awful. Like game network or whatever. It used to be alright, then it just degraded into repeats of babecast over and over.
