Even then, I'm sure you'll build up more than £3 over time. I find the online store to be very good for prices. Never really go into stores now. Maybe so, but if you're a Quidco user you get 11% cashback of the slightly higher cash price at GAME compared to 4% cashback at Shopto. Using your MGS example: Shopto £36.99 - £1.48 (4% of £37) = £35.51 GAME £39.99 - £2 - £4.40 (11% of £40) = £33.59 Edit: Not to mention GAME.co.uk more often than not have vouchers floating around for £3 or £5 off!

Tbh with the amount of money I've gotten through reward points £3 is worth it for the reward card.

Can you translate that to a ABC scale for me? Afaik the average requirements for Comp Sci is something like BBC, which doesn't seem particularly difficult. If anything I would have expected it to be higher than that. I got curious and had a little look around Edinburgh University's website. Entry into Computer Science on its own is BBBB (Scottish grades) or ABB (Which I think must be the English equivalent). Comp Sci with Maths is ABBC or ABB. Also all of them require Maths at Higher or equivalent at A.

Yeah fair enough. I'm kinda the same, I could go down the route of going into Finance in some way, accountancy or acturial work or something, which has better money. But I think I'd just find it so dreary I'd hate myself for doing it. Also, what do you mean by "ridiculous marks"?

I have this naive hope that if I go to Edinburgh Uni to do Comp Sci as I plan I'll get to go to Rockstar North for industry placement. Probably wishful thinking but you never know, my name might well be on the credits of GTA V

It lives peacefully with HD-DVD, just don't take a Blu-Ray player near it. Some guy did that in Texas a few months ago, and the nuclear fallout is still hovering over parts of Cuba. Also, as the HD-DVD starts to wilt and gather dust, it may begin to softly weep when you turn the lights out.

I dunno really, not having a go for taking Games Design. Just from what I've heard they weren't so good. Then again I have no idea what the course actually entails really so I'll shut up

You mean you would prefer to do the GD course, because you'd enjoy it more, despite getting poorer prospects afterwards? Personally I would have said 3/4 years of being not as happy, to open up more options and oppurtunities after, would have been the better option. How do you know after finishing Uni doing GD you will actually be able to get a job you want? That way you're more likely to get stuck with something you don't enjoy, possibly for longer than those years you spent at Uni. Seems a bit of a gamble to me, but then again it may well pay off and go really well for you

Why does Comp Sci mean you get a bad job with good money, but GD means a good job with bad money? Surely you do Comp Sci, get better job prospects and therefore more choice? You don't have to take a job if you aren't going to enjoy it. I don't see what oppurtunities GD gives that Comp Sci doesnt?

I just saw you post this on another forum and I have the exact same reaction; no.

My SNES spontaneously combusted when I was redecorating my bedroom and accidentally sat them within 5m of each other. Apart from that, no, theres no danger between 360s and other consoles. Although I'd keep it seperate from Dreamcasts. I hear they are very jealous that Xbox swooped in where they thought they should be.

Personally I would have thought Comp Sci is the best way into the industry, for most positions, no?

Only 80 points aswell, think I'm gonna have to get that one.

Yeah they were talking after release about how it's going to be a great franchise for them. I can accept a prequel, showing the fall of Rapture etc. But I don't want it to start getting milked, as all it will do is ruin the magic of the first.

I've not actually met anyone from the internet yet, but I will be at some point. As I'm only 16 getting parents permission to go somewhere to meet up with online people is difficult :p But I have a couple of people who I may be going to meet down in Norwich later in the year.

I've had a custom background since the day after I bought my 360. I wasn't aware it was a secret?

Don't most companies dislike Game Design courses/are reluctant to hire those who have been on them?

How many decent J-RPGs are there on any console these days? Off the top of my head, I'm counting Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey, and then firing blanks.

Best plan is to just not listen to Coldplay.

Sweden due to an undying love of anything Henrik Larsson, and Germany as I have German family.

93, and disappointed. Did this a few days ago though so I don't have a screeny. I missed some really obvious ones, like all the Eevees. And I couldn't spell Gyarados.

I've put ~60 hours into GTA. Love it. Just a shame that I've now done everything, bar the stunt jumps and the pigeons. I'll probably end up replaying it at some point though, so I can completely see myself breaking the 100 hours marks.

Yeah, but annoyingly you have to be logged into a different account to do vocals while using an instrument so you have to use a controller. The adapter is just for private chatting / online chatting.

Well, if chair says Mcoy is evil it seems pretty clear to cut. If he's wrong, we know chair's playing us / is unreliable, if he's right we kill a mafioso and it's more likely he's good. I say more likely because it's still possible he's sacrificing a mafia member to make us trust him. But hey. Vote: Brian Mcoy
