So South Park, Lost and a new ep of the OC tonight/this morning. Then the 1UP show on Friday nite. Great stuff.

I know it's not show your homework, but this is what I'm currently working on. Got to get two concept art pieces in for Friday, one being a historic street scene and the other being contemporary. Here's my historic one so far.

The next one's up tonight isn't it?

Pretty much the reason why I avoid this stuff nowdays. I screwed up with a certain someone saying stupid things, when I should have just waited and it would have all come together. And I'm talking like a good few years back, and now I just take it as it comes. If you go out looking for it then you'll just get depressed I think when you get nowhere.

Just to let people know, that if you haven't pre-ordered then Virgin is definetly the place to go on launch day. I don't work there anymore, but my mate has told me that they weren't actually doing pre-orders. But then again, I spoke to him a few weeks back. Like with the PSP launch and 360, they will def have extra left over on that day. I've not bothered to pre-order because of this really.

More of this please.

Someone could call it dogsdick, but the posting won't change at all in there. Some stuff in that thread could easily warrant discussions, even if alot of the stuff is pointless. I think it's def had an influence on the threads in gen-chat.

Yep, only game I'm worried about. Apart from the usuals, the rest is just shovelware so not alot is really expected anyway off of them.

Sitting in my room at halls, and fireworks have been going off around the blocks since 4pm or so non-stop. I expect firealarms and stuff at around the middle of the nite. So I've seen enough of fireworks, so just going to go out and have a dance up with some drink.

One highlight of this place was the evening of the musical instrument threads. Stuff like that reminds me about the old days for some reason..........spam and silly threads are still needed I feel.

Yep, I also agree with the downhill thing. Only person who's actually making any worthy discussion take place in the Wii board is Dante with his news posting. I used to post a lot more on the old boards, but now I just seem to skim the topics and not bother posting as there really isn't much to say. Maybe it's because I have less time nowadays to spend posting on here, and with neogaf really being the no.1 place for games news and for actually laughing at quite a few threads I don't see much reason to frequent this place as much as I used to.

I think that's really the only thing people are waiting for..............I don't expect much else apart from that.

Someone's confirmed it at IGN. You can play mp3's off SD cards in the Wii interface, so it would make sense for seeing SD card mentioned there in the music menu.

Custom soundtracks baby!!!! No ones mentioned it with the Wii, but games should make use of this feature if it's possible.

I'm going to leave the upgrade until nearer the end of next year. And with that I'll also make the move to 64bit, as most of my daily apps are now compatible. I don't think the price they are asking for is too much considering it's an OS you'll be using for the next 4 years +. But then again, I've never bought Windows before either. I can just see them being alot tighter on piracy from the get go, and I don't want to have the worry of having to re-install every few months with a new torrent download because MS have fixed security loop holes.. Very nice box though.

Come on Nintendo. Contact us with the secret information. People should be hearing stuff tomorrow hopefully.

Wasn't that excited for Wii, and I've been avoiding everything Zelda. But after watching them two vids I'm so damn hyped. Got goosebumps watching them............so berluddy good.

It best not be like only ten people get picked or something, or they'll have alot of pist people. It is definitely a good idea on their part though. Suppose this is their way of doing the thing which they did with the DS vip packs. For some reason, I re-read this post and it just seems to me that my english is pretty bad. I'm crap with words.

Sometimes it can't even get that far. Waggle waggle will keep it going though.

Well it's pretty much a repeat of what we knew months ago. Plus NOE only does localisations, and I also cannot understand why a games tester would be handed a spec sheet. Also these things are all apparently gold now. That includes all hardware and launch games.

Didn't we do the whole specs thing like 6 months ago.

Yeh, I saw that. But then I thought it may be out of his budget considering he doesn't want to change his mobo. Only problem with the 7600GS's is that they use DDR2. But for the price, it's decent. Think there is actually a 7600GS on there for £80-£90.

If its AGP you may aswell just buy a whole new mobo. Although you can get the 7600GT in AGP, but it's about £150+ I think. But I seriously think you should get a new motherboard, as AGP is obsolete now really. 7600GS is available at overclockers in AGP for £105.

Damn it, I wanted to jump in and ask where I can get graphic cars from. And I also back-up triforce_keeper's post about the 7600GT. Excellent card for the price, and is definitely the best option if you plan on holding out for DX10 cards. I've got a BFG 7600GT, and that can be found on overclockers.co.uk for about £90. On the CSS stress test at 1400x900 with full wack everything I get results of around 120fps. But if you're having probs reading text you could also get a new monitor.

So have threads from there been archived at all?
