What's the course sorry......as I haven't been keeping up with that Uni thread recently? Always tailor your portfolio to what suits the course and the sort of work you would be doing on it.

I'm a student.......so quality tends not to matter at the moment I'd say. If we don't eat Domino's and want to go even cheaper, then it tends to be 'Flapper Pizza' which is made and distributed from the legendary DJ Flapper at our Union. Herts people may have heard of Lights Pizza possibly which is the name his pizza Co. is under.

Domino's pizza. Even better when they do the offer of 'buy one get one free' if you collect. Meteor.....damn amazing.

Non-gamers don't care about release dates. They tend to have no clue as to when things are coming out unless advertised by Nintendo, and Nintendo's customers currently are the whole Nintendogs and Wii Sports crowd. There's no hope here. Get a 360, man up, and play real games.

But for some of us who don't have divorced parents, the loan just isn't enough. I go along with his recommendation of getting a job in the 1st yr and getting a little money behind you and saving it for the 2nd/3rd year.

Fuck yes. 99.02% shot down on Stage 5 of Rez. Been trying to just get above 95%, and been struggling with it for weeks..........and just decided to have a crack now. Well pleased. Onto Boss Rush Mode now.

Unsure what to buy now. Originally was thinking Burnout Paradise is a must, but there's also Devil May Cry which loads of you seem to be enjoying. DMC just gives me the impression of a rental though tbh. Decisions decisions........

Sorry, but that Apple shit can fuck right off when it comes to DCC. Stick with XP as well for compatibility reasons.

Wacom Bamboo is the correct answer for you. Decent price for a A5 tablet at around £60-£75 I believe. It's pretty much a Graphire (more expensive line), but kinda re-styled. If you really want to push the boat out and are going to use it professionally then get an Intuos like me. They don't come cheap though.

I personally do think it's great. It's a great little feature to have, and for me when looking for a certain ideal reference image for something having the option to quickly skim through 10-20 pages of google images on the fly without having to click on each page separately is truly great. I also think it adds a decent feature to facebook profiles, when you don't want to click through every image you can just look at all the thumbnails on one page and click on what grabs your attention. The app also doesn't force itself on you. It's just a nifty little extra option to have while viewing images............you can obviously still just browse normally, and whenever you want that view just click the play button.

It's awesome, I installed it last week.........well impressed with it.

Yep, using Ultramon I may add. Great piece of software. And the theme is great, no stupid windows blinds add-ons or Vista...............keeps me smiling anyway.

I was going to make a thread 'Find me a computer for under £200' purely for joke purposes earlier seeing all the threads recently. haha

My connections screwed guys. Thought it would be alright, but I'm guessing other people in my house are caining the net or downloading...............plus I've got my connection shared with my PC anyway. Cheers for the invite though and had a good 10mins of playtime..........will invest in a wireless adapter, as I really do have problems connecting to Live when I'm at my Uni house. Will add some of you up as well anyway.

There was a nice DoF on that Lambo before you edited. Smart I say. Unlike my mess of a desktop currently. (soz for image size, spose you can see what mess is on there though.)

Got a Falcon with a BenQ drive myself, but only tend to get the grinding when I turn the console on or when inserting a disc. Other than that it's dead quiet compared to my friends older revision of the console. Like I've said many times before though, the console is just generally fucking loud. My PC doesn't even make a third of the noise that the 360 does. And lol at new Tina O'Brian sig.

Totally agree. Still awesome as always.......but kinda needed more major developments, although in the past the first few eps of each season have tended not to be groundbreaking development wise. Most interesting thing about the episode is who are the 6? We know three, but who are the rest. Guessing Sawyer will be one of them though. (soz if spoilers, but you shouldn't be in this thread if you've yet to watch it like we've always done with previous Lost threads.) dan-likes-trees - Neutral Milk Hotel I see there in your LastFM, great taste.

Up for games tonight if people are also up for it?

Me and Jordan chatted about it yesterday in the Live Arcade thread, but not too many people seemed to care. Recommend everyone picks it up though, so awesome. And Shorty, I'm having trouble hitting them scores in HD mode...........didn't know if you played in 'normal mode' that it recorded them as beat. Will give it ago. Only got 142000 on Area 1 on HD mode so far...........also failed on completing the Area 5 boss in it's last form. The game is definitely harder than I remember, unless I'm just becoming weak sauce. Edit - Will send you a friend request Shorty for Rez Score Attack purposes. And cheers Dyson for the add as well.

Nice one Caris.

Up for also jumping in on this. Can't play ranked multi though, as for some reason the 48hr trials don't allow it. Will use them up before i invest in a 3 month sub.

Like I said earlier, it is up. Downloaded it and played it myself. Same old Katamari though, nowt special.

Beautiful Katamari demo is up now, as I'm downloading it. It's also not locked to gold, so everyone can download it. Fuck em though, this should be a download game anyway. Edit - Second play through of demo and I get stuck straight away between some objects and can't move. Fair enough it's a demo though.

It is indeed pure awesome. Only had time to play the first two stages this morning as had lectures, and I've just quickly tried the normal Rez mode, and yes Jordan, does indeed feel slower. The old skool mode runs in 30fps, while HD version is at 60fps apparently. Also missing widescreen on the old mode. I didn't get 100% shot down either on first go earlier today. Was at 97% I think. Love the game though............and I agree about the achievements, hopefully will be able to get them all as well unless I get sick of the game or end up getting distracted by another title. I think it's pretty amazing considering we're getting this for around £6 or so, when it originally came out at £30-£40 years back. I would of happily paid more than 800 points for this. Awesome Eurogamer review. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=91540

Got to agree with this. I picked up a quad core purely for rendering, as it pisses all over using a dual core for that.............if I wasn't doing any DCC stuff though then I wouldn't have bothered. It's like having 4-5 computer screens and never really having a need for them.
