What a shocker, Dawn's been kicked out!, for communicating with the outside world! Clever little scheme she had going, if she was recieving bad press she'd told her family to contact Big Brother and state that "Her sister was ill". As this is an important family issue Big Brother obliged to tell her. However, the idiot that she is boasted about it to other house mates. Fool.

When is issue 120 out, the Final issue? There wasn't a date in the last magazine, just a picutre of the Wii and the words "The Revolution is coming" in the normal page for the next issue details.

Wow, got back from the ICT and found it easy enough, although I was lucky, the small revision I did for ICT was the stuff that came up, but on the whole most of it was natural knowledge from my prologned use of computers. For my coursework, which is 60% of the course, I got few marks off an A* so I feel I should get an A*, as with English I feel I should get an A as I am capable of getting one. Higher Tier is a bitch though, 2h 15m of continues writing causes massive hand cramping.

Gah, I have to do a play, a novel, AND poems. 2 hours 15 minutes. 45 per text. An Inspector Calls, Of Mice And Men, and Best Words.

Also from the Mirror. Nikki got a boob job on the NHS. BUSTY Nikki Grahame had her breast implants free on the NHS because her flat chest was distressing her, it was claimed last night. The promotions model's one-time pal Yasmin Hasson said: "Nikki was completely flat-chested at 15. "But about four years ago the NHS paid for her to have breast implants. "Her lack of a cleavage was damaging her psychologically." Yasmin, of Ilford, Essex, added: "Nikki's ambition was to be famous. She talked about it all the time." And last night it emerged Nikki, 24, from Middlesex, had lied about coming fourth in Miss Hertfordshire 2004. " God she is irratating as hell, almost as bad as Shabbaz. Dissapointed with Dawn, from her video I thought she'd be all mean and evil but she's been the most compassionate to Nikki's ridiculious moaning. "oooo I can't drink tap water." Grow up love.

Crabs. Hate the little blighters, lurking around on the seabed so you can't see them, just waiting to lop my toes off. *shudders*

Hmm, on another note, to do with MP3 players + Nintendo, what ever happen to the Play Yan getting a release in Europe? I'm sure it was confirmed but it just seemed to fizzle out. If it did happen it'd solve all my musical (and video!) needs as I have a Micro.

Gah, same. Kinda annoying now as my schools on study leave so you can't really see everyone at the same time. Ergh, irratating.

1yr RTB Warranty, 6 Gigs, £90. Looks good

Yes, I would specifically be also interested in peoples opinions of the Rio Carbon as nobody seems to have it or know of it. On paper it looks pretty swish, so to speak, but I'd appreciate any user feedback on it. Thanks

Heh, are you allowed... of course you are. The French government aren't going to go an arrest you for it. If what you meant was CAN you a Gamecube in France from a technical point of view I would presume so, except you would probably need to get one of those power converters as the Frenchies use the 2 pin plugs where as we use, in the UK, use three.

Hmm, to the fellow who commented that GCSEs are not important, I was in an A-Level class (I was merely using a computer in the background and couldn't help but overhear) that a woman from two universitys both stated that GCSEs are the first thing they look at, as of a way of filtering down candidates. For example, Oxford I think, only will look further on at you application form if you achieved a minimum of 5 A*s at GCSE. Also, if I don't achieve a minimum of 8 Bs then I don't get back into my schools sixth form... Anywho, did my French oral which went well. Got a nice n easy roleplay about holidays which was good. Did fine in my general conversation unti the LAST friggin' question in which she asked me how long my flight Took to get to Japan and I thought she said how long did I Spend in Japan. So I said 2 weeks and she cringed. Anywho, how's everyone's revision going? Started study leave last Friday but my school offers in school revision sessions which is cool. Ack though, my school posted an "advice guide to parents concerning your childs revision" and it said over six hours of revision you're placing them under too much pressure and under six hours of revision is just being lazy. So my parents expect me to revise for 6 HOURS! per day.

NGC was a good magazine but it deserves to die a temporary death. They were running severely thin on content, and in my opinion, forking out 4 quid for a magazine less than 80 pages long, with no proper in depth features or articles, is not justifiable. However, that's not to say the magazine is awful. It is well written and probably the most humourous magazine I've read and some features are amusing, like the Nintendo ugliest characters etc, but sometimes these sorts of articles can feel kind of tacked on, holding no actual substance. For example, I wasn't a tremendous fan of the Nintendo records feature, containing things like longest moustache... slightly amusing at first, but it's for these types of amusing fan projects the Internet is here. I buy gaming magazines for well written informative articles which provide information or access to areas of gaming which Internet sites do not. For example GamesTM recent foray into the Capcom studio with interviews and such. Hopefully NGC will re-emerge from the ashes a better magazine with more of the good ole staff members like Geraint, who's sadly gone over to GamesMaster

Gah, not sure if this has allready been posted, but... According to other forums, Miyamoto has exclusively told IGN of more NEW CHARACTERS: Aiai (Super Monkey Ball) Captain Olimar (Pikmin) Viewtiful Joe (Viewtiful Joe) Waluigi (Wario's counterpart)

Unsure if this has allready been posted due to the plethora of Wii threads but this video is just...strange. Is he serious? Is he retarded? Is he just taking the piss?

Why Nintendo WHY! I hate it, revolution signifies what it's all about, Wii does not, in my opinion (probably been done numerous times before in this thread)

This is how I feel about the latest news regarding Baten Kaitos II. The latest ONM has a brief page preview in which it informs you that the battle system has been simplified. A lot. For example, you know longer have individual decks, but instead one deck to rule them all. Reading another article online, this new amalgamated deck is a big problem in that frequently another person’s equipment shows up when you're controlling a different character. So it'd be like Kalas constantly being presented with magic cards, which I predict could get very frustrating. Also, when you get into battle, you are only drawn 2(!) cards. This is because they have completely, and in my opinion, badly reinvented the whole magnus system. Now you just get your two cards and you equip them and then that's your lot, it then plays out like your standard FF or SoAL turn based battle. Plus, this only applies to weapons, gone are the days when in battled you'd be mixing it up with combo ice armour and ice shield. Also gone are the intracies of the combo system, to get one you need to have numbers running from 0-9 in order. Gone are the reverse straight combos, gone are the days of getting a pair or three of kind combo. However, one plus I suppose is the fact that your characters now automatically level up, there will be no more of this shrine malarkey, which should make dungeons and such a little easier.

New Pics Also, regarding Final Fantasy V for GBA, Square-Enix has announced that we can expect to see a brand new job to take, and a completely new dugeon also. Perhaps shown off at E3. Nice to see one of the Final Fantasy ports getting a little bit more care then just a straight port.

Just saw Run Lola Run. Was absolutely awesome, and completely different to normal types of films. Firstly it a flim showing three different versions of an event, all when something slightly different happens each time which comepletely alter the events. Plus it was in German, with English subs, but I don't have a problem with that but I know some people automatically wright off, and bemoan films that aren't in English.... *ignorant idiots* 9/10 A great film, a breath of fresh air. Recommend it to anyone. Only minus is that it's only just over an hour long. Only £6 here: http://www.dvd.co.uk/product.asp?fs=froogle&id=CDR29501

People who subscribe always tend to get magazine a week before they are released in shops.

Hmm, am I the only who waits for the days after Easter then goes in and buys them at a fifth of the price? That said, I may buckle and get a Mingles or Green Aero one. I just love mint chocolate... and mint ice cream

Hmm, I say more than jackshit is known about the game... Just look at this big ole WikiPedia article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Steel

Yeah, I can't see ONM getting too many exclusives. I was on their boards the other day and poeple where asking when these aparent exclusive screen shots where going to be shown in the magazine. They replied with "in issue 4 or 5". Which would mean 1 or 2 months. Which would mean after E3. Which would mean that they mostly probably won't be exclusive, just images from E3. I had high hopes for this but it just lacks some character and I find the previews and reviews dull to read, and they are stuff which I could've just got from the Internet. NGC however has a unique slant with their humour which nobody else on the Internet can really match. That said, I do like ONMs features and developer profiles. Edit: Ha, I say this and then this emerges from the latest issue in which Miyamotot talks lots about TP. "...I think the Revolution controller will give quite a different play style to Twilight Princess. When you play Twilight Princess with the GameCube controller it's the same controls that you're used to, but you may beable to do something different with the Revolution controller - like aiming at enemies with the pointing device [the Freehand] and shooting the arrow.""

The same thing happens to me, it's bluddy annoying. Also why is it so popular? There are many other file sharing places out there yet everyone seems to use Rapidshare.

What's your beef with Media Player?
