  1. Hawt-diggedy, Still Game is back on. I've missed Jack and Victor.
  2. There is a PSP puzzle game called Mercury, but if those are the same thing I have no idea. "Type R" sounds like some kind of racing game. And why two versions for the same console?
  3. Hell, just as long as the quality of their reviews continues, I'll gladly pay that rise in price. And a DVD with every issue? At least I won't have to download so many preview vids anymore to sate my Wii lust.
  4. I freakin hate Lost. Will & Grace is also complete guff, but Two And a Half Men is really surprisingly good. There's also loads of great sports coverage at the moment, and they're still showing Chucklevision! Those two should be knighted for services to hummanity.
  5. Tom Hanks played a southern rip off of Alec Guinnese's wonderfully slimy charcter from the original ealing classic. Fat Bastard is a baby-eating Scots stereotype with comically bad hygene, who works for a spoof Bond villain. Kay's character was a loud-mouth, obnoxious, controlling English gent who turned out to be a big yellow alien who aborbs people and displays victims faces on his body. They're not similar. In any way at all!
  6. No you don't. Go to sleep.
  7. What? The only similarity that th characters have is a - he has a top hat and beard and b - he's fat. Neither Tom Hanks or fat Bastard share any actual character traits with Kay's character. It's like saying I'm exactly like David Hasslehoff because I have a car.
  8. I think the idea of drawings comming to life is very much a classic story concept, a sort of idea that's been with us for ever. It's like giants, for example. You can't plagerise giants, they've part of the very genre that is myth and legend ever since people started having such concepts. I've personally failed notice anything approaching plagurism in the current series. I know people can look at those cat creatures, and school demons and whatever and complain that something similar was in such and such a show or book before, but I doubt that any of those sources can lay claim to creating the concept themselves.
  9. What was wrong with tonights episode? Peter Kay was class. It was different. I'll admit that. But in a good way.
  10. I really hope this fusion thing works. If things pan out, we've got ourselves a readily available nuclear power source that produces a tiny fraction of the nuclear waste produced by current fission plants. There's a lot of international development time and money going into this. Unfortuently even if it works, it could still be decades before we can start considering the possibility of fusion becoming a main source of our power. I think we should start looking a bio-fuels in the mean time, as well continuing to develop wind and wave generator technology. I also happen to think that micro-generation is a very good idea, but without significant support will be slow to spread.
  11. You really would have thought we'd have left this behind by now. It's just appaling.
  12. PC world is awful. You should only go there if you're planning to burn it down. With a bazooka. If you need repairs, you're better off taking it to an independent computer repair business, where the possibility of finding someone who actually knows how to fix a computer actually exsists.
  13. Aren't they still being debated? I seem to recall that some thought they were just shapes formed by crsytalisation or soemthing.
  14. I'd love to, but I can't help but feel this is simply the result of someone using his good name for the purposes of profit. It's blasphemy I tells ya!
  15. 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.
  16. Lampard was a cretin. Lennon, on the other hand, is a god amongst men.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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!"
  21. 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!
  22. The question is though, why not just stick with the original film?
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
