    How about a weekend in December? one day in Newcastle another at the beach or somewhere close by? (weather depending) I'll be your tour guide, seriously loads to do round here. Shops, bars, water parks, beaches, bowing, cinemas, arcades, you name it it's here.

     

    There is a hotel literally round the corner from my house, actually loads down the sea front. Spare bed at my house too in exchange for a sexual favour.

     

    C'mon, it will be good fun!

     

    Dibs sharing with you. I'm always game for more spooning with you. Perhaps it will develop into something more pleasurable. Reach around?

    I have just finished the game with the Independent questline.

    I had to switch off hardcore at the very end just to finish the quest becuase the robots were useless. I had to fight NCR so I lost Boone before the big battle (as he has friends in the NCR). Companions are priceless on hardcore; I can just hide in a corner while Boone takes a group out.

    I could probably finish it on hardcore but I'm just going to load a previous save and try a different ending. Mr House next I think.

    Hardcore isn't that bad. Ammunition weight is the nicest difficulty edition. Being unable to heal crippled limbs with a stimpak is a problem at the beginning, but I imagine with caps you can buy unlimited doc kits.

     

    I'm enjoying Hardcore. It's not as difficult as it sounds so far. I'm going to be sorry I typed that.

    well Orlando Bloom, Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd hadn't really done anything major prior to Lord of the Rings

     

    I know. These guys have had a bad career beforehand.

     

    Hahahha! I quite enjoyed that. Is this a new series/when on?

     

    It's about 4 episodes in. An episode every Tuesday.

    Isn't Rob Kazinsky the guy who was in Eastenders?

     

    I don't know, but the casting is very odd. It wouldn't look out of place in a low-budget ITV drama series. I've just seem Graham McTavish in the latest Harry & Paul for god sake. A small role in a BBC sketch show to a Hollywood movie?

    When i buy the component cables i'll be looking to get HDMI output, so is it true? does the console need some sort of configuring in order to be capable of HDMI output?

     

    I had a problem where I wanted to connect my PS3 to a TV via HDMI but it was configured through the AV port for Component. If I remember correctly, when you hold the power button it will auto-detect an HDMI output for you.

     

    EDIT: I did remember correctly. Just hold down the power 'button' when you switch it on until it beeps. This will set the configuration to HDMI. http://askabouttech.com/connecting-hdmi-to-ps3/

    Everytime I watch an ep... I really don't get why this is so liked, apart from Jack, of course. Everything else is just so uninspired...

     

    I disagree. Every episode is fantastically written. Maybe it is just the stupid comedy, but Tracy has great one-liners.

    My plan is to go to Uni (although that isn't set in stone yet) and either do a Games Programming course at Derby Uni or Computing.

     

    And if I've got the brains and determination do a Masters Degree at Stafford uni on Games Design.

     

    When I get my first job I want to work in a small team.

     

    Thanks for the vote of confidence Raining.

     

    Most employers for programmers are looking for a BSc in a Science or Maths. I looked for Computer Science degrees with a games development focus when I was looking at Universities. I ended up at Wolverhampton doing "Computer Science (Games Development)" through clearing as I had poor A-level grades and went into clearing. Wolverhampton Uni has done pretty poorly on the tables and even asked to be removed from them this year, but I was grateful for the offer in clearing and didn't want to waste a year back at college/doing a foundation year at another Uni.

     

    I've done Java and HTML/CSS in my first year, and I'm doing Ansi C now. I'll do my first games module next semester. As far as 3D maths goes Vectors also play a big part. I've got extracurricular projects (which is also a must) and a placement next year, so hopefully I'll be all set with my BSc in Computer Science in 2012. The tuition fee hike won't make too much of a difference for me as I'll only have one year of the higher price, but it is still a bummer.

    Me and Rob (Chuck/Patriot Ocelot) have spent the past 7 hours making a map called Cliffhanger, it's a Spartans vs Elites one flag CTF. Think of it has a cross between High Ground and Valhalla from Halo 3.

     

    It'll be on our File Share soon, feedback appreciated.

     

    Everyone should know that I did 99% of the work.
