  1. Most overrated songs

    Anyways, Anything by Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, My Chemmical Rommance, Midina Lake (who I had the miss pleasure to here though a music channel) basicly all all the kiddie 'emo' guitar music that is mainstream rock now.
  2. Most overrated songs

    Just had to say could not agree less it is an excellent song, well imo of course.
  3. Most overrated songs

    Yes this is one dreary song, just what I thought when I read the topic of the thread. Muse and more so Coldplay get expections to the overating in your opinion and The Beatles and Queen don't? each to there own I guess.
  4. Games You Couldn't Live Without

    Soul Calibur 2, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Mario Kart 64, DS and Wii, super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Bros Deluxe on Gameboy Color will allways be great to me, A shmup or some kind or other just to play for a fix now n again, I have a lot in PS1 games and emulations and beleve it or not FIFA 07 simply as me and my brother got playing this competively against each other (on his PS2) and have just stuck playing that game for two player video game football, Neither of us have bothered to get another PS2 football game thats come after and still enjoy playing it (however I have bought Pro evo for my Wii).
  5. Bands You Couldn't Live Without

    SMASHING PUMPKINS \m/ , Radiohead, Stone Temple Pilots, Bush.
  6. Im going to be moving back to my parents for a bit soon, at the monent I have the internet and a use my flatmates wireless router to play my DS and Wii online. However when I move back to my parents I will have the internet there but it will proberbly be to much fuss / to problematic to set up a wireless router there for the consoles (don't ask lol) but of course theres the option of a wireless dongle (gotta love that word lol) on my PC. Does anyone else go online with DS/Wii this way, could you reccomend the dongle you use? does anyone use the offical Nintendo one? I thought about ordering this from Amazon but it has lots of negitive reviews there (as well as good ones) but a lot of those are about problems I wont have (zone alarm issues -dont have that software, 'no facility for setting a proxy'- won't need to do that etc) and it is expensive compared to other dongles. Anyone use the official Nintendo dongle? how is it for you? Any feedback on this will be appreciated. Thanks
  7. Thanks for the feedback everyone.
  8. Castlevania Judgement

    This looks like it could be just my cup o tea generally. They will have to get those Wii controls down though. Is it a bad I idea for them to also include the option to use a pad and and have great motion sensor controls as well to choose? Edit :Actually this looks like it could be killer, I prefer Soul Calibur 3D fighting my self to Powerstone style but this still look like it could be a great fighting game.
  9. Mario Kart Wii

    Yeah I hear you on that one it is frustrating. I am loving this game - had it a few weeks played it a few evenings- Im still not playing at my best but am getting fairly decient offline and naturally as you'd guess less so online - but ive only played a little. I got very decient MK DS (learning a lot about the game and it's little play techniques) and can generally stand a decent chance of coming 1st if im playing other racers that dont snake like my self (yes ive never learnt to do this (I feel its a cheap technique anyway - but thats a matter of debate I gather) however now Mario Kart DS online seems to have more and more snakers so im not bothering with it really). in Mario Kart Wii of course you cant snake so It may be my online choice in the future. Well till the middle of next month when I have to move back to parients for a while (long story) where I will the net but no wireless (its my flatmates router I use and Wireless just does not seem to work at my folks - I might look to see if I can run the Wii off the modem Ill be getting though).
  10. Guilty Gear Core

    I have a Guilty Gear for my PSP, I think this could be too simular for a purchase for me.
  11. Yeah he is just trying to belittle a conpetitors product doing far better than his own. Quite pathetic.
  12. The Casual Conundrum

    Yes, this is all down to opinions isn't it. IMO as long there is choice of game style thats all that matters. I enjoy Pro evo, Mario Kart and Wii sports all on the Wii, I like games of all different kinds and as long as there is choce im happy.
  13. Gameing wise of course dont make me laugh when it comes to Sony being more invovative that Nintendo to the best of my knowledge (at a guess as im sure most will all ready know) Nintendo pionneered/ brought the console market 1st the follow that sony then used in there own consoles, Memory units(cards)) Console Controller Rumble Feed Back, Analogue Sticks, and now motion sensor technology. FTW. BT? dont make me laugh.
  14. The Lisbon Treaty

    IMO good. The last thing we need are more politictians. These ones making decisions for us from a far when the amount of influnence we have over our laws here is piterfully low and then of course theres our taxes there spending with very little openess on there spending (as is my impression) you just know they will never be too buggered by any credit crunch. Im of the impression this for all intents and purposes is the EU Consitiution in all but name and what ever its called yet again we the in UK dont get a vote on it (which suits the EU and Brown just fine), and that says it all to me (mind you not that we get much of a say now we just have to watch as Brown bullys and bribes other MP's to get what ever law he wants passed). Im not anti Europe im anti the Lisbon treaty as is most of Europe. Yeah sadly ide agree with that.
  15. Euro 2008: Who Will You Support?

    Well I picked Germany out of 'the hat' in a sweep stake at work so if they win I get £16 or if they come 2nd I get £10 so I have a slight vested interst in them winning but really Im just enjoying the games but its fuinny because you know ive enjoyed watching Holland most of all.
  16. Spielberg's Boom Blox

    Lol, A fine answer, hells yeah ill get this when I get paid.
  17. Street Fighter IV

    Hope my PC can handle SF4, its about 3 yrs old.
  18. Spielberg's Boom Blox

    Ive been thinking about getting this at some point, I think I will do just that n wait for a price drop, It does sound good. A guy I work with said this looked this crap, it was more like ''I cant beleve what there advertising for Wii now'' I just said ''why, just as it doesnt have the greatest graphics does npt make it a bad game'', I think hes the type of guy who just buys the big titles on ps3 -gald I can appreciate all types of games on differnet platforms
  19. Better nothing than that crap (IMO) I dont know what channels you have but im sure there has to be something (well as I think it is worst TV show in history its anything for my self). Big Brother on telly? well thats why god invented DVD's, Computer games and The Internet, Well thats my opinion Well im off out, later all.
  20. It mind numming, pointless, empty television full of the type of self centred, attention seeking tossers that every normal person should hate . Big brother is modern cultute at its worst. That is all
  21. Lost : Series 4

    I pretty much had them in that order in my head anyway but great vid. The writers have never let me down yet, I know what you mean about 'moving the island' but im more than happy to see what happens there. Im sure all the answers will come in the end and ive enjoyed watching the show for the 'ride' its been. The show has allways had a bit of sci fi in the mix and what ever they do with that very element im sure it will be excellent.
  22. To be honnest ive only ever heard the phrase Hardcore Gamer on the internet and maybe TV, never from anyone that actually plays games. How prevlent the idea of the 'hardcore' outside the media I have no idea but Im not too keen on it as it seems to spring up the image that if your seriously into your games you are 360 owner playing 3rd person shooters -on line - every night. Now this isnt the most important issure in the world but ive been playing games for years. Ive gone long periods when I have not been games, times when I have played on a very casually level (if you will) (a little 2 player on something like crash team racing, a few rounds on fighting game before a TV show I like comes on) and times when they have been a serious source of entertainment for me. Over the last 3 or so years games ive discovered games like smash brothers Melle, Metroid prime and Soul calibur 2 on the Cube, Fifa 07 GTA san andreas on the PS2 the DS and all its class games and now the excellent Wii. As ever I play lots of different games in lots of different ways BUT at the end of the all the games (and all games in general - on all platforms) come down to being presented a chanenge playing to beat that and getting a reward - from a high score to a new level. I dont think playing Wii for example makes you any 'less' of a game player. As a bit of a seasoned game player I guess I find the phrase hardcore gamer a little dumb. So what do you all think?
  23. Yep you'd have to be a bellend to call your self that, lol. Ive never heard waggle before, unless you mean like waggling a joystick. Im not a balance board person either, plus ide proberbly fall off, lol . Anyways fair point mate.
  24. Great Article, from that it seems ide be quite a bit of a Hybrid very much a multiplayer maddie and a little bit 'hardcore' - im allways sufing the net and getting the odd magazine for game news and I do play to be the best I can at games but its more with maybe mario kart DS (just stuff like learning course shortcuts and when best to use the power ups ) and Fighting games but its just about learning to play the best I can, I mainly play for fun with my borther and his grilfriend (with her on mario kart not the fighting games) but im not gutted if I lose its about playing and playing well
