I was amazed at the skills that Lennon and his fellow winger Downing brought on, running to positions where they could cross it in for Crouch, who needs to be fed those oppertunities. Exactly what we will need to bust open such a tight defense. Hats off to T&T - they've really surpassed everyone's expectations.

Lampard was a cretin. Lennon, on the other hand, is a god amongst men.

Personally I think just throwing people into prison, for any amount of time, doesn't solve much. All that's going to happen is that they will very likely reoffend when they get out - I think we should use that time to put a greater emphasis on rehabilitating prisoners. Not sure what's going on with this whole "life not meaning life" thing though. Apparenly it's part of a policy that was implemented to increase the rate of convictions, by offering those who pleaded guilty reduced sentences. I'll have to get up to speed with this.

It's the phenominal dev costs putting these publishers and devs off the P$3. It's a tough industry, and the amount of risk a company takes with any one project is already high enough. Low Wii dev costs = much lower risks = more artistic freedom = happier devs.

I certainly hope so, but I do hope they up the number of on-track racers in the next one - at least 50. They don't nescerrly have to apply that to online players, but more of everything is how F-zero progresses. As for the above, yes Halo 1 had a fanatstic campaign, and yes, Halo 2 had a superb multiplayer. I don't care if all the rooms look the same, that's really not the point.

The original Omen, the Frighteners, Flatliners (with Keither Sutherland practicing commin back from the dead before trying it out in 24) and the Poltergeist was also amazing. My personal favourite has to be ol' Jack in Kubrik's The Shining. Superb. "I'm not gonna hurt ya'... I'm just going to bash your brains in!"

It's the hard disk drive cable (is that same thing? Ah, who cares..) that's in the way - lookie here:[ATTACH]410[/ATTACH] See - follow the line along from the 6600 I have in there and it contacts the cable connector. The edge of my x1800XT has to sit on top of it, which stops it from snuggiling comfortably into the PCI-E slot. Be aware, we really are talking a few millimeters here. I think it must be because it's a 512mb card. A 256mb 7900 looks like it will fit there fine. Note also only two RAM slots. Bah! EDIT:Oooh, actually, I think I may have found something. I have just discovered another connector slot way further up from the first, hidden behind all the wires nearer the hardrive bays. Some kind of long-lost blue cousin. My card should fit now! Yay! Seriously though, I think my motherboard is some kind of weird mutant version of the one up there - cut about the middle third out and stick the rest together. Cheers for all your help anyways!

The question is though, why not just stick with the original film?

I'm not a big fan of the current Blair admistration, but I think we have a good system - with all the commities and petitions and other systems, there is a way to get heard one way or the other. The good press in this country helps too. I do think we need to stop being so calous with evryone else in the international community. I think it was right to depose Saddamn (our past dealing with him irregardless), but the post invasion period was just very badly planned. If I were PM, I would give much more solid support to the UN. It's a great idea, but I think it hasn't been given the chance it deserves yet. I would also - -Sell off all of Britains nuclear weapons and use the billions we would save to improve schools, hospitals and the pensions crisis. -Scrap council tax - replace with local income tax -Scrap various stealth taxes - replace with higher income tax -Nationalise the railways -Give more power back to the unions -Make better mates with our European neighbours -More rehabilitation facilities for drug users/criminals/ect. -Mental health treatment on the NHS -More public facilities in urban areas eg. swimming pools/football pitches/leisure centres ect. -Miltary action against the Sudanese government for crimes against hummanity, then Zimbabwe. With permision from the UN obviously. -Develop renewable alternative energy sources - yes, that means windfarms. Get used to it.

Ok, I hope to proved wrong - it's an Asus A8NE-FM. My lil' bros just got off, so I'll crack it open again and have another look.

Ya see,the edge sits on top connector at the end of the cable, and I don't think I have another hard drive connector on my board. Looking at pictures, a 7900 looks smaller then a X1800 - I guess those things are extra long because of the exra tarnistors or something. If anyone happens to be in measuring range of a 256mb 7900 though, I'd be most oblidged. I just want to make sure I avoid having the same problem.

OK, I'm fairly pissed. After spending £200 on a spanking new X1800XT, I find I can't install it because the hard drive cable-point in my mother board stops it from sitting in the PCI-E slot properly - the board is about 1/4 inch too long. Can some one recommend me a decent graphics card that is 8.5 inches long or less? How long is a 7900? Anyone know?

I find that clearing out a lot of excess dust from my fans really helped the airflow to the components, and really helped keep things quiet. Grab yourself a can of air and clear some of that dust out to help things along.

Thing is with the battle Royale Remake (and the Oldboy - please God no), it can't hope to be anything other then a watered-down version of the original, which is banned in the US cause of it's violence. Listen very carefully, and you can almost hear a group LA-based excutives discussing how to slip it in as 15-rated release, and keep it under an hour & 20 in order to maxamise its appeal to their "target demograph". Kiss goodbye to most of the story, most of the character relationships, most of violence and with it just about everything that makes Battle Royale a good film.

It was quite heavily raining my way to - I don't mind though, as it keeps everything fresh, especially the rivers. It's really hot again now.

It's part of the similarity film shares with theatre procution. Think of it like a car - you could have the best engine, chassis and wheels avialable, but wether it wins a race is still down to the driver.

I prfere the winter persoanally, though the weather has been great! Bit coller today, which offers a little light relief. I hope we get some nice, heavy summer rain - replenish the rivers and clear the air.

Dawn of War and the Winter Assualt expansion. A massive, endless orgy of battle, but with a solid base bulding and tech race at the core of it. Multiplayer is superb fun. Rome Total War is also amazing - a wide variety of interesting factions, and a deep campaign mode which goes on for ever.

The script, the acting, the artsitic direction - the director is in charge of all of that. He has the power to rewrite the script, the responsibility to guide the actors and is intimately involved with every shot through until the end of editing and post-production. the director isn't the only cog, but is the core of a film productuion.

I'm quite surprised at my T&T. Ivory Coast did quite well today too, even if they did lose. I day for the underdog stories it seems.

Surely Crystal Chronicles will have online. I'm sure Excitetruck and Smash Bros. will also. Just makes sense really.

Probably some blond cheese dick from the Holywood school of child actors and the balck occult. With a bit of luck, the whole cast, crew and every single copy of the script will simultaneously faint and slip over the edge of a very tall cliff. I truly, very seriously can't even begin to grasp the concept of this film ever being any good. There's no way they can improve the original anyway.

The first game I played I think was this cool run and gun game on my dads Spectrum, wuth tanks and swamp a loads of hapless middle eastern (read: Iraqi) soldiers to blow away. It was sweet. The first game I ever owned was Starwing, as well as Super Tennis, Super Star Wars, Stunt Race FX and Desert Strike. They were all sweet.

It really, genuinly looks like you have huge freakin' hands.

A remake of the original Battle Royale? I think I am going to be sick. The original is a cult classic, and now some cheap, brainless hollywood hack reckons he can make a cheap buck by bastardising a truly classic film. Again. You can smell the shit a mile off.
