My secret, well it was a solid 6 months of working in Newport. Got the train into town, and instead of getting a bus out to where i was working, i walked in. It was a good 1/2 hour each way. It helps as well, taking a dog out for a walk as well.

To be honest, i wouldn't mind seeing the new console have 2 or 3 choices for control. A new control system in place for what-ever games are to come out for the new console, and the already existing Wii-mote system for the (hopeful) backwards compatibility for all existing Wii software. The 3rd choice is optional, but control ports for the GC/Wavebird. Showing that the new console is not only backwards compatible for the Wii titles, but that GC software is compatible again. If not by disk format, at least on a new and improved Virtual Console. I say new and improved, but if Nintendo implemented what both the PS-Store and XBL have, which are more free demos to games, themes for the console itself and a more reliable online connection/online play. Which is something that the Wii lacked and needs for it to be able to stand-up to the larger consoles. I'm hoping that we don't see the existing Wii re-modelled with HD graphics. That to me, isn't a new console and shows lazyness on Nintendos behalf. Something that i'm probably not counting on seeing, and hoping that i don't see. It would be bad for them really.

Again, loving that i'm not in work this week. So i can enjoy this conference (and Microsofts) and look forward to what both companies offer.

Aye, cheers everyone for the support. My way of losing weight is surprisingly easy enough, eating a healthy, balanced diet and not drinking as much as i did before helps an aweful lot. Feel better, fitter and all that as well. Lost 1/2 kg over the past week as well, which is good. Well on the way to getting to my target weight. Which is roughly what i weighed in 2002, before i piled on the pounds. Most i weighed was 154kg, so 112kg is about 44 bags of sugar. I always like comparing weight loss to bags of sugar, sounds more impressive.

Excellent. Recall are still holding up in the middle league, no retirements as of yet.

Carrot Cake = Awesomeness Hulk Smoothie = Hmm, looks like something "different" Made one of them cupcakes earlier last week, tasted so, so nice. May post a snap.

Been to two funerals, my Nans and Grandads. Both within the space of 2 weeks of each other. That was terrible, mourning 1 loss then had to mourn another within weeks. Hadn't gotten over one, and it showed for a few weeks afterwards. Work noticed, so they gave me a written warning and attempted to get rid of me. Didn't have open caskets for both, but they wer aweful. We followed my Nan into the church with everyone watching, i didn't like that at all. Didn't follow my Grandad in though, and we had two services for him as well (private family one and a public one) As for my own funeral, i'm dead so see if i care. I just want everyone to have a huge party in my memory and i'd be happy.

I only camped when i was alone, 1 vs 5. Otherwise, i stood no chance.

I'm so glad that i achieved the retail Gold-skin unlock, so awesome one could say it is bad-ass.

They hated me, people were shouting abuse at me down the microphone some nights. I still hate on Gears 2, trying to counter a recoil on the standard Lancer, which doesn't exist. I guess i got used to the Retro Lancer so much.

I still think the UK should bring in a "Pet License" for people. Would stop any old idiot getting a pet and thinking that just because they own a dog, it gives them a right to have a go at everyone.

Oh, makes me laugh that people are still using Vista. That was one god aweful O/S, and one that i am thankfull i got rid of long ago. Now then, just need to hope that if my computer ever breaks down, it doesn't go into one of them computer shops. Even if you give them the disks for what-ever O/S you are using, they will only put the default back on. In my case, Windows Vista (erghh). I don't think i ever had the issue of web-cam installation on a Vista machine, which compared to all of the other issues i had with it would be minimal in comparison.

Having picked up the original Mass Effect (and still awaiting delivery of Mass Effect 2), i can't believe i missed out on such a classic series of gaming. Love the side-missions, love how lenghly the games are (with the side missions played as well) and i love the humour. So, this is yet another title i am looking forward to.

It's amazing going onto the Epic forums, and hearing people complain about being picked off with a Retro. Most of these people, are shotgun gamers and don't like to be outdone. I congratulate Epic for making a weapon to counter the Gnasher. I don't want Epic to ruin the formula of Gears 3. One of the most anticipated games i'm looking forward to as well, and can't wait to sink my teeth into it again come September. I thinks a day off work could be in order for this, and i know where my online gamings will be as well.

Birthday wishes (be they late in this case, but caught on-time earlier) to you Rummy.

Probably what i'll pick up, if i can't be bothered to create 2 albums. I don't purchase an album with songs that the artist probably didn't want on there in the first place, but as the artist intended. So in many ways, i'm like Danny and Wesly when it comes to albums and music.

It does sound a good idea, but in someways i think the band can't choose what tunes go on what album. The last album, "Off with their Heads" didn't sell so good. So i guess this is a way to rectify the mistakes made on the last one. There will be people, i may be one of them, who makes 2 albums. A disk 1 and 2, where they will own all 20 songs.

Take a look at my Youtube Channel, link in my signature.

Now then, i already manufacture a "popular*" report show. Sounds like something i could be interested in.

I don't know if the vehicle disapperance thing is a glitch, but possibly could be a way to save on memory courtasy of Rockstar.

I blooming hate this, half the time the car i pull over is one i need to finish an achievement, and it vanishes. Even when it turns a corner, it disappears.

I admit, Rockstar making each case 320ms is a bit pricy for the length of each one to complete. For 2 weeks at least, you can purchase the "Rockstar Pass". This pass entitles you to (individual prices are next to each item) A Slip of the Tongue (Traffic case) - 320ms/£2.99 (Play pre-orders) The Naked City (Vice case) - 320ms/£2.99 (GAME pre-orders) Badge Pursuit Challenge + Button Suit - 160ms/£1.50 (GAME pre-orders) Broderick Detective Suit - 80ms/99p (Amazon pre-orders) Sharpshooter Detective Suit - 80ms/99p (Zaavi pre-orders) Nicholson Electroplating (Arson case)** - 320ms/£2.99 Reefer Madness (Vice case)** - 320ms/£2.99 The Chicago Piano - Free **Not yet released, but upon release in June and July respectively, you will get this for no extra charge. Working it out, if you only got the stand-alone game with no pre-order DLC, it comes to around 1600ms/£12.99. So, 800ms/£6.99 is a bargain for all the above DLC in anyones eyes, even if you take out your already owned pre-order DLC (one set per store) Make the most of the reduced Pass cost, goes up in 2 weeks. Probably to 1600ms/£12.99.

Still don't trust using the Windows stuff, still installed my own for my own protection.

DLC is out, each extra case is 320ms and the suits are 80ms. 2 more cases coming next month (June 21st), each for 320ms. Or, you could buy the "Rockstar Pass" for 800ms and get all the above (including the future 2 cases).

No thanks, i pay enough to get on the 360 online as it is. Why should i pay extra for this?. If all companies started charging extra to play their games online, then that would soon be the end i believe. Plus, i suppose Activision want to make back the money they are losing as well. Wonder how many will subscribe, once this title arrives on the market?
