You just can't make this kind of crap up. From http://www.bbc.com/news How any supposedly organised department manages to accidentally free more then 1000 convicted criminals is well beyond my understanding. Well done Mr Charles Clarke - your incompetence and the incompetence of your department has finally tipped this nation over the brink and into total idiocy and farce. :mad:

A Couple of things - a) Mortal Komabat was OK, but not great. b) Doom (the film) was rubbish. c) The writer isn't saying that video games are making bad films. He/she is just using video games as a similie/metaphor to explain his/her point.

It's difficult to comprehend how little excited I am.

EDIT: Re-reading the article, I think the writer is simply using video games as a similie for producers letting stupid audiences ruin films by puttting them in control, like gamers. Although I do think that Mortal Kombat was at least half-decent.

Go away, borrow a mates Mac for a week, and report back.

Lets face it people. This just sin't going to happen. Whatever Nintendo have up their sleave WILL be BETTER then THIS.

With just over a month to go, I wouldn't say it's too late. If your at AS level, you probably have at least a vague grasp on your stuff already. Unlees you've been doing jack shit ALL YEAR, you'll be just fine. You probably need the rest anyway - better then wasting it getting stressed.

If it's anything like XP was, I think I might give it a few months until they disocver THE big security fault or bug that will ineviatbly ship with it. EDIT:"The company is too big and too slow to ship updates to its biggest products. It's collapsing under its own weight." My thoughts exactly.

It's not a bad idea, and I would like to see it in MAy, if only out of curosity.

Nintendo already did the sterescopic 3D thing with the Virtual Boy, and it was a disater. Lets not raise that bloated corpse now shall we?

Those Bwain ads that Arnie did in Japan are terrifying, and Claud van Damme is a s amusing as ever, but my fav ad has to be for Guinness. My two favourites are both for guinness. The first is the classic sea-horse ad. My real fav though, is this on that was rejected by drinkers in the ninties, on account of the idea of being so outrageous. The tagline alone is superb: "Not everything makes sense in black and white." Those WKD ads have never looked so shit.

Ubisoft did say they would be bringing at least on other FPS as well as an exclusive Revo project (Red Steel.) We know Gearbox, who are FPS-mental, love the FHC. We know the Rev can run the Unreal3 engine, the engine BIA3 uses. I'm sure Ubisoft isn't above making a quick port for what would be an easy buck. There are just too many pieces that could fit. COULD fit. As I said before, plausable, but unlikely. I geuss the other possibility would probably be Farcry...

The whole plot to Hero has some very nice ideas (the whole of thing of a different colour scheme for each version of the truth he tells is a wonderful conception) but at points it really did get a little too preachy and pretentious, and the underlying drama just wasn't good enough to keep it together. Somehow the cast just didn't quite get the chance to their acting thang. The film just skipped merrily from one insane high-kicking situation to the next mega-emotional moment, but I never felt like any of the characters were given time to develop, destroying the drama. The result was I just didn't really get intrested in the characters. When they're going around pretending to kill each other and shizzle, you need the relationship between the characters to be strong, not just in terms of story, but also in the minds eye of the audience. Without the nescerry charcterisation, I just felt this was all a tad flat. The terrible side-effect is I don't believe anything that happens. I believe that everything happend as it happend in Crouching Tiger, I'm convinced that the future of a proud ruling family is very truly at stake. These are real people flying around the roof tops. In order for these sorts of films to work, they demand that suspension of disbelief from the audience and I simply never got that with Hero. Flying Daggers had great charcters and a decent story, but I simply felt they were rather underused. Don't get me wrong, Hero was OK, and Daggers is quite good, certainly entertaining but neither are quite what they need to be, and don't hold a candle to the masterclass that is Crouching Tiger. Then again, few films do...

I loved Crouching Tiger, but didn't think much of House of Flying Daggers or Hero. The choreography and cinematography was great in all what made Tiger so good was the great drama and characters that ties it all together. I just didn't think Hero or Daggers achieved the same level of quality in those vital areas, which is must for this high-octane art house films.

£10 bet that Reggie prefers to go on top... and in the bedroom, the Reginator gets what he wants.

I swear to the sweet lord in heaven, if anyone from this forum actually goes to see this, I will hunt you down and beat you to death with Gregorey Pecks rotting corpse.

You'd better watch the original sharpish, or your soul will be damned to hells fire for eternity. IS NOTHING SACRED? DAMN YOU HOLLYWOOD! DAMN YOU ALL! Seriously, the very exsistance of this remake makes me feel sick. I'm not joking. EDIT: I've just seen the trailer. I'm not impressed - the action-movie style pitch doesn't suggest they've nailed what made the original good.

Scottish werewolves, Queen Victoria, alien ninja monks... could this get any better?

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but I found this website quite recently. Everyone from good ol' Arnie, Sean Connery and Rowan Atkinson to The Simpsons and Wallace and Gromit debasing themselves for Japanese corperations. http://www.japander.com Very funny, though sometimes really, very, very disturbing. BWAIN!

So childish, yet so very, very amusing. I'm sure J Allard really is Reggies be-atch. Reggie takes who he wants for his be-atch.

Also a load of weird Scottish ninjas by the looks of the preview. Should be good. Only Doctor Who could pull this stuff.

Ya' see normally I would ignore stuff like the BIA3 rumour, but being hinted at from the pages (although I'll admit, a slightly odd source) of a publication such as PC Gamer, sister mag to NGC - who you will recall, actually knew more about Nintendos upcomming Zelda game then Nintendo. Against my best instincts, there is an irresitable wiff of possibility about the whole thing. We'll find out in a few weeks ect.

We all live in hope, I suppose.

Does radiation posioning count? Basically it causes your body to rot (necrosis) while your still alive.

In order to play the new generation of directX10 (Vista) games properly, you're gonna' need an a DirectX10 compatable card don't forget.
