  1. This. Although i need a new PC, and i suspect my Xbox will soon die and need replacing, i'm perfectly happy playing games on that. I dont think they necessarily need more processing power etc to make better games. Nothing has come out in tha past 6 months that suggest to me that they are running out of ideas and need new consoles, so i'm happy as i am. Having siad that, if i were to consider buying the Wii U, i would need some seriously good games on the horizon, ones that i can't just buy on the Xbox. So a new Mario/Smash Bros/Something New to tempt me. Even if they did show up, i would probably wait for a price drop anyway. I can't afford a new console right now.

  3. Llandudno junction used to be my local too. Never had any problems with it. I wonder if we ever crossed paths and never knew it... Before that it was the Apollo in Bangor, but that got pulled down. It was one of those sticky floored, old fashioned places but i loved it. Nowadays I go to the Apollo in Leamington, which is ok. It only has 6 screens, so doesn't have every film but it does me fine.

    The Hobbit

    I saw it in 2D 24fps, and it was great. I'll be seeing it again i think after christmas, but even then i don't think the cinema i'm going to has it in 48fps...so few places seem to be doing it? I'd love to see it in that format though just to see what the fuss is about.
  5. EDIT:
  6. No idea what this is?! I put Zorilla, because the tail is similar, but i'm not sure.
  7. All i want for Christmas is the cheapest Business broadband & line rental deals, unlimited UK call packages, hosted VoIP telephone solutions & systems provider, free ISDN line installations. Cheers and Thanks
  8. I like to think i enjoy games with good stories, and then i realise i'm 3/4 of the way through and i have no idea what's going on.

    Pacific Rim

    I would watch this.
  10. Ooh, nice picture of a spotted hyena! I know what you mean Jay, they should have a 'There is something in this picture, but i havn't got a clue what it is' button. I''ve needed one of those many times when something is lying too close to the camera, or i can just see an ear/horn peeking in from the side. EDIT: WTF is going on here? Is he in trouble?!
  11. Well that look pretty good! Albeit ridiculous. But that's how i like my films. I had no idea who Ellen McLain was, until she started talking. Does she always sound like that then?
  12. Well this is one of the best timewasters i've ever found. If, like me, you enjoy safaris and animal spotting in general, this is about as close as you can get whilst still being at your computer. Basically, through various wildlife camera traps, conservationists have gathered around 3 millions pictures of animals taken over three years. But they don't have enough time to work through them and identify the animals in them, and where they were spotted etc. So they posted tham all online, and people can go through them and tag them, essentially building up a database of locations of animals in the Serengeti. Apparently each picture gets sent to five participants, and if there is any disagreement between them, it gets sent to an expert, so don't worry about getting it wrong. It's incredibly satifying clicking through and spotting rarer animals, even if 90% of them will be Gazelle and Wildebeest. (And empty pictures of moving grass). I've seen lions, a giraffe and even a hyena and a couple of hares. Anywho, i've already wasted about an hour doing it, anyone else who finds it fun should check it out.
  13. For some reason i thought this was for a Europa League match or something, i.e in another country. Didn't realise it was a domestic tie! Wow.
  14. I agree with Shorty. If the church want to discriminate, then you either let them, or punish them for discrimination on the whole. If it were an organisation or company doing the same thing, then they would be heavily fined/punished. Same thing with Female Bishops, technically it is illegal to deny someone a job because of their gender. But because it's the church, we'll just let them vote on it, and accept whatever they decide.
  15. I plan to watch them a day. One a week until there are no more.
  16. It reminds me a bit of Garfield without Garfield, but that less funny. Still, it's a cool idea.
  17. Well....fuck. I think that everyone else also realised what you did; that just picking good games wouldn't be enough, as they would get boring very quickly if they were all you could play. However, some people don't like playing multiplayer and so had to put single player games in. Pretty much every game so far has been one that either has lots of replay value, or one that that person has spent many many hours playing up until now. Also, i wasn't sure if online multiplayer games were allowed. But yeah, those would probably be better if they are. EDIT: I considered Minecraft, there is no way that game could ever get boring, if your imagination is good enough.
  18. Here comes Diegoooooooooooo!!!!
  19. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Good one. Basically it's just going to be the games i've spent playing the longest - as i assume that i'll be able to replay them for even longer... In no particular order then: Pokemon Red/Blue This game would be good because you can replay it so many times with different teams of pokemon, and it changes each time you play it. The first few times i played it, i never took any notice of stats or any of the complicated stuff, but there's so much more to this game that comes out of repeated plays. Spiderman 2 I LOVE this game. There's something so calming about just swinging around Manhattan, occasionally solving crimes, or just leaping off tall buildings web-shotting to safety. The story is fun, but mainly just the free-roaming makes this playable for a long time. Just Cause 2 Again, the story for this is a bit crappy, but it's the huge world full of stuff to explore that i loved so much. Just messing around crashing stuff into other stuff, then grappling onto a enemy helicopter, punching out the pilot and then flying away. Badass. Super Smash Bros The original for the N64 - for some reason i preferred the physics and fighting in the original that i think has just been getting worse ever since. I like Melee, but i thought Brawl wasn't as good. Anywho, I love me some Smash Bros. Halo Depends on whether i'd be allowed to play online multiplayer, and there would foreverbe people to play against? If so, it would be some iteration of Halo. Don't mind which, although i've spent longest playing Reach, but i'd just want some awesome multiplayer carnage to play for the rest of my life.

    Dexter

    Hmmmm yeah, i was reading some theories elsewhere, and it is looking that way. Nice that they've left it open, but i didn't think it was that obvious when watching it.

  22. Although you saying it on here is a bit like Mancini saying it on an obscure Nintendo forum that Sir Alex doesn't read....
  23. I don't get this.....is it a Mass Effect thing?
  24. Looks good. I will watch it. Had a bit of an Avatar-y vibe to it. Hopefully the animals will just be animals and won't start talking etc halfway through.
  25. Probably a .gif incorrectly named as a .jpg Chrome and Firefox can recognise if a file is badly named and display it correctly.
