Saw this when i was packing my stuff to move the other day. I havent played this for many years but i seem remember it being a really good laugh.
Best. Game. Ever.

Tax is only 6-8% in most states as well, so we are getting ripped off, by about £20 at least. On a DSi that is.
£20 is surely the maximum they should charge for WM+. £15 would be lovely.

There's no point in comparing screens as they're on two completely different machines. Compare The Conduit to COD:WAW on the wii or Red Steel but Not Halo 3 or Killzone 2 because it's obvious how much better the graphics are on a HD machine..
For a Wii game it has good, but not great graphics. It has excellent effects though.

Do you hate them or you just want to hate them? I'd just like to know because I find it hard that a shooter fan could not find enjoyment in either of those 3 online games. If you liked TS so much then surely you're just bitter that they aren't on Wii?
I despise war. Particularly in it's rawest form, as seen in all of the COD and MOH games. I enjoyed Halo 1 (the first 3 levels are amazing!) but found it too repetative and dull by the time I got to the library, the online multiplayer is OK in the other 2 but the single player games just dont interst me at all, bored after about 2 or 3 levels. I actually had timesplitters 2 on the Xbox and loved it, wasn't at all keen on Future Perfect, can't remember why. I'm not just saying this because I'm 'nintendo fanboy.' People mock me to this day for liking Red Steel, yes it had issues because it was a rushed launch title, but the potential was there and the setting and pace of the game was incredible.
I know the Conduit will probably have this and Red Steel did but I f**king HATE ressurecting health bars and checkpoints. Ever since Halo 1 it's become the norm. This is why Goldeneye and Perfect Dark stood out for me because the way you approached them was completely different and in my opinion better and more rewarding.

^^ You've forgotten that Timesplitters had personality. I think the saving grace for this game will be controls and the online mode.
I think the Conduit does have some personality, Ok not as much as Timesplitters did, but the story is certainly interseting. I assume as the game progresses the enemies become bigger, darker and more powerful. It's sci-fi nature means that the game will probably start off in basic 'futuristic realism' before digressing much more into fiction, this in particular has me very interested. Watching the developers videos above and seeing some of the encoded hints that they have left throughout the game says to me that (if pulled off well) the story could be a huge plus point.
I'm remaining optimistic about this despite what all the naysayers believe and yes, the controls and online will be something to rave about and I can see this being the best FPS I've played since Perfect Dark. (I Hate Killzone, Halo and COD btw
) -
In a way I see this game as the spiritual sequal to Timesplitters. A no frills, action shooting game with great, varied environments and objective based tasks. If the game delivers on that I'll be happy. If it's similar to Red Steel but improves on most aspects, which it seems to, I can't see how I personally will be dissapointed.

..not quite the words I would use
..try.. frickin lethal : peace:I think I'll take a picture or two of my N64 collection here
Top of my wardrobe..
..and Bottom of my wardrobe
As you can probably see, most of the best titles have priority at the top of the wardrobe : peace:
There are a few SNES games in the bottom row there too.. but ignore those
..The 2 games beside those have no logo on the end of the box and they are Mario Kart 64 and F1 World Grand Prix 2! I have a few cartridges in a drawer as well which include Resident Evil 2, Top Gear Rally, Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2, Turok, Turok 2 and International Track and Field: Summer Games. Would prefer them all to be boxed and with manual and will hopefully make that happen at some stage in the future That's a sweet collection Nando! I sold my N64 to buy a gamecube so all my games have been re-bought and the only box I have is Perfect Dark.
Here's my collection though. I'm fairly proud of it but it's missing Banjo-Tooie, Conker's BFD and a couple of other classics I haven't found yet.
On the Wii's VC I have:
Cruis'n USA
Mario Kart 64
Paper Mario
Sin and Punishment
Star Fox 64
Zelda: OOT
N64 carts:
Banjo-Kazooie
Beetle Adventure Racing
Blast Corps
Body Harvest
Diddy Kong Racing
Donkey Kong 64
Excitebike 64
F-1 World Grand Prix 2
F-Zero X

I loved Top Gear Rally!
I remember the initial graphics unveil...It looked amazing and the final title didn't look anything like the Silicon Graphics they had running on the workstations. But it still handled perfectly. They really nailed analogue control. The game got better with more unlocks too (faster and funny!). Some of the tracks were amazing too. The jungle reflections looked brill and although there was a lot of fog (ala a lot of early N64 games -TUROK!), it was as smooth as butter and some of the music was brilliant!
I also liked MRC...Was likeable. Nothing special but it was ok. Then there was TGR2 which WAS great and solid too. V-Rally was great though. A proper rally game. But...for me TGR just had an air of quality about it. Top Gear Overdrive was crap though. (Completely diff. studios for all 3 I'm sure.)
Top Gear Raly was just superb, I spent all last night playing it and there's so many little details I'd forgotton about. The weather system and how it affects handling, there is a physical damage model (doesn't affect how you drive though, like in TGR2). As mentioned, the reflections in the jungle level, Creating your own designs on cars! This game was way ahead of its time and pulled everything off so well.
Boss Games went on to make World Driver Championship which was also excellent stood up superbly next to Grn Turismo on the PS1. The N64's most realistic racer with an abundance of tracks and beautiful graphics. I've never played TGO and I'm not as keen on TGR2, despite it's excellent random track generator which meant there was unlimited tracks on the game, superb.
MRC was absolutly diabolical. Only 3 tracks and 1 car that you could actually drive successfully. By far the worst xmas present I ever did recieve.
Roadsters Trophy was a fun little game. Beetle Adventure Racing was my personal favourite simply because of the stunning track design and massive challenge it presented in getting 100 points on every level. Plus the multiplayer battle mode was as good as if not better than Mario Kart 64. Ahhh so many great memories of racing games.One thing that I've noticed and that really bugs me about the next-gen is the real lack of creativity that's apparent in most 360 and PS3 racers. All developers seem to want to do nowadays is create the most realistic simulations of real-life circuits or cities. After playing through some of these games again the wholly original circuit and location designs really stand out as something much more memorable and fun to play instead of driving through London and trying to sopt a Pizza Hut or Jessops at the side of the road. Beetle Adventure Racing and World Driver are 2 games that stand out in my opinion. On the one hand BAR uses inspirations from various places i.e the Mediteranian for the volcano level with picturesque Itallian villages, sandy beaches and the heart of an active volcano. Obviously it's completely unrealistic but is so memorable and fits in well with the feel of the game.
Then you have World Driver, a die hard simulation which takes a few unique looking countries where the designers have created original tracks based around the 'look' and 'feel' of the country. They don't map them to real roads, they design their own circuits around their own landscape and architecture which fits in with the country's image. This way they can design whatever tack they want. I always thought that this was something that was missing from the next-gen, where the focus on realism goes too far. The N64 was the last bastion of immagination in serious racing games with tracks that were designed from scratch rather than copied down to the last detail.

Cracked my N64 out today had an absoulte blast on Top Gear Rally, Cruis'n USA and Excitebike. Yes, I love my racing games. Top Gear Rally (imo) is still great by today's standards, the framerate is solid, the graphics are ok and while the handling is challenging but very rewarding. The other 2 ain't aged so well.
Perfect Dark also hasn't aged brilliantly (framerate wise). But it amazed me at how ahead of its it was. REAL TIME LIGHTING FFS! It does things Xbox 360 game developers are just too lazy to do. The level design and music are superb. I finished the whole single player campaign in just over an hour all the while I remembered just how good FPS's used to be before they were whored to death on the 360.
Multiplayer online? Pah!

I don't think Jenson will run away with it. I hope he wins it because he is a spectacular driver and he has needed a good car since he began in F1. I hope the Toyotas put up a good fight because I love that team and both their drivers as well. It will be an intersting season and probably the most exciting for years. As the other teams progress it will be intersting to see how the grid changes (and just how good the Brawn car is, because my betting is it's excellent and will be at or very close to the front all year). Keep an eye out for Red Bull as well as they don't have the DD Diffuser and they are extremely quick at the moment, especially in the wet. It's going to be a great season!
Let's get on with the racing!

Looks like this season is going to be immense!

I thought he was looking for Navi??

Will an RGB Scart cable from the gamecube work with an N64 or does it need to be modded to output RGB?
-
Through RF my N64 looks like ass

You've met zebrahead?! AWESOME :P The original lead singer or the new, or... both?
Just the new one, I saw (but didn't meet) them once with the old one and I much prefered him live, but I've seen them 8 times now
-
I've met all of Zebrahead 4 times and they're all really nice, down to earth guys. Even had a game of foozball with them once! I met the lead singer of Reel big fish, Aaron Barrett twice he's awesome too and only 5ft 1
. I've met the King Blues after a gig and got a lot of stuff signed but I wasn't that impressed with them. Also, Dave and Simon from InMe once, who were both cool but I was only 15, I've met a few local bands that are on the up lots of times. Apart from that I've me Lional Blair in the street (lulz)...
I served The Casualties (punk band) a takeaway in Pizza Hut around the time of Leeds fest, but unlike Jav I nearly came and wouldn't let them leave. They were a bit thick to be fair lol.
Anyone who lives in Yorkshire will know Harry Gration (sp?) off of Look North, when I lived in York I used to see him every Saturday morning in town.
I had the oppertunity to meet Anne Fine (the childrens author) at school in year 5. I chose to play football at lunchtime instead. I made the right choice.

Mine is just uploading to Youtube now so I'll post it later on, here's a sneak preview in picture form of something I missed out of my video
I managed to sneak a little retro music into my tour though, so I hope you enjoy it when it finally arrives.EDIT - video: (Contains vulgar words

So I'm going to be in Shanghai for the Chinese grand prix, chances ill be able to get a ticket. Chinese ticketmaster says its sold out but in previous years the Chinese government have had to give out thousands of free tickets to fill the place up.
I'm sure if you had a good look around when you get there you'll find some easily. It's true that the attendance has dropped massively since its inception so I'm sure you'll get some good seats very cheaply and witness another Jenson Button victory

My friend just facebooked me that there was something on Panorama about this. Anyone saw it?
Check BBC iPlayer

I ask you all to pass this article along. I'm planning a visit there now, I have to see it for myself. But how do you sneek into Dubai....boat?
I've posted it on facebook and tagged all my friends in it, oh the disgusted comments!

A Brief Tour of my room from Jimbob
Loving all the Red Dwarf stuff. Can't wait until Friday night! : peace:

I'm not surprised by this in the least by this. I did some research on Dubai for my course earlier in the year and came up with similar stuff. All of my rediculously wealthy 'friends' always go to Dubai and rave about how great it is. It's not, it never has been and never will be. It's a fake hell-hole filled with everything that's wrong with consumerism and neo-liberal capitalism. If ever you needed a reason why neo-liberalism has failed Dubai is the perfect condensed example. Shocking, disgrace of a place.
The class heirarchy is similar to something that is often found in the most disgustingly oppressive dictatorships. The poor are, as the article correctly put, enslaved by the do-nothing vastly wealthy minority who sponge and feed like parasites of off other people's lives.
Yet for most Britain's upper middle class it's 'the complete holiday' - F*****g twats!

Tbh though, Nakajima is a joke of a driver; absolutely terrible. Rosberg would have scored some serious points in Aussieland had his tires not completely left him on the last few laps and the weather in Malaysia often means that the faster teams lose out.
Don't know if anyone heard this but apparantly Lewis is considering walking from Mclaren. Aslong as he doesn't go to Ferrari we should be good
I've got an inkling next year we might see Kubica/Heidfeld and Alonso at Ferrari with Lewis moving to BMW.I think Ferrari will be much more intersted in Kubica, maybe teaming him up with Massa or Alonso. Heidfeld is very consistnt but just doesn't have the raw pace or "championship winning quality" you need to drive for Ferrari.
Anyone remember this
