Holy crap, had forgotten all about the 90's, man they were good times. I seem to remember my favorite cartoons being count duckula and danger mouse. Loved pog's but I was all about collecting kinis! And I never got to watch things like the Simpson's as we didn't have sky at home. I remember my plastic Jurassic Park lunch box, complete with leaky drink holder tho : peace:

I'm still scared of coming in here....*heads back to the pokemon thread*

Ok well I got my dual boot installed fairly easily. I had to download Gparted as Partition Magic 8 kept throwing up errors. I also created my various linux partitions manually in the end. I am using a wide screen monitor with a radeon 9800 pro and for some reason can't get a widescreen resolution. Thing is, I'm not really sure where to begin with getting it working, any ideas?

Ok, so I have the live CD and partion magic here, I am going to set a 20Gb partition for Ubuntu as I want to keep my XP install and I see partition magic lets you choose from a number of different linux options for the type of partition you want. Which should I choose? It can be Linux Ext2, Linux Ext3 or Linux Swap.

Hehe, maybe they changed it to have green blood ^^ Either way, I hope the 'un-edited' version is leaked somewhere so we can play/see it.

I don't understand

Pilot wings. That is all.

Which is exactly why Windows will always be my main OS. I am interested in Linux more for its stability with regards to being a server type system rather than my OS. I know you can get most games to work these days though I think.

I have tried Ubuntu before as I was very impressed with the live CD option, but decided against running it as my main OS. I do now have a test machine which I can use for this so I'm going to give it another go. I watched the video of Beryl and have to say it is very sexy, but my test machine has a 9800 pro in it, so judging from what I have read, I don't think it will work? Also, have they got rid of the horrible brown-ness yet? I really do hate brown.

I agree. Sorry.

That would be an excellent idea. So are you saying a kernel is like a bios?

What is a kernel? And what is Debian?

I have just bought all the GBA/DS FF games so now I can play them all at my leisure, however finding the time to do so isn't easy! I'm really looking forward to FF6 tho, the retrospective on gametrailers.com made it look so awesome. I haven't played any of the 2D FF games before though.

I don't really want to read through all the pages of PSP bashing, so I'm just going to ask, do we know the release date for the redesign of the PSP?

There is a reason we don't have a welcome thread, I just cant remember what it is. I'm sure Ashley will be along shortly to tell you tho =]

1. Zelda OOT

Indeed, although I haven't yet played sam and max, I have heard nothing but good things...could never finish maniac mansion tho, might give it another go now that I'm all grown up, lol.

I have 62 played days on World of Warcraft atm, which equates to 1488 hours

I love that game so much!

Is it called Horace (sp?) goes skiing?

Agreed. I don't have any of the latest consoles yet, but my first purchase is going to be the 360 elite later this month. I'm not getting a Wii until MP3 comes out. In the mean time I have my DS which has more good games than I even have time to play.

So what is so good about this game series then? I have heard a lot about them but never played them.

As unlikely as it may be, if a war were to happen, and someone started firing nukes about, that would pretty much be the end of the world imo. Other people start getting involved and then you really do have a world war.

VISTA YOU BITCH! Sorry, very pissed off atm, I booted my computer up this morning, checked my email, locked it like I always do then went to work. Came home 3 hours later to a screen saying 'Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.' So I tried boot normally, just gets to Vista loading bar then reboots without an error, so tried safemode, same thing. Put the disk in, ran a repair, returns a report saying it couldn't be fixed. HELP ME PLEASE! I have so much data that I am supposed to backing up this weekend, and now I can't get to it :cry: EDIT - Right, finally after a few hours, found the problem. I disabled the onboard raid device and Vista booted up, so checked windows update history and there was an Nvidia nForce RAID controller update applied to my computer this morning which claims to have been 'successful'. I haven't yet tried to turn my raid back on, but Vista did finish installing stuff when it finally loaded. Now time to get on the Nvidia forums and find out who I have to shout at about this.

I use a BFG 7600GT (256Mb of GDDR3 Memory), they cost about £80-£100 and are about as middle of the road as you can get, I only use it to play WoW and sometimes HL2 or CNC3 and all of these games I can play on full settings with a pretty good frame rate.
