Urgh. The only ones I can stand are the RPG's. Every other Pokemon game I look on with pessimism, and usually its justified.

Corr, her legs don't look half bad do they. Though why policewomen don't dress like that in Nottingham I'll never know... I don't know if you can class this as 'news', but as some of you are aware, they repeat Doctor Who on BBC3 at the moment. They did this before Planet of the Dead, and they timed it perfectly so that The Next Doctor aired on the Friday, then Planet of the Dead on Saturday. They've run from the first series again, and have taken their time about it with breaks for Merlin and whatnot, but are finally in the Fourth series now. The Sontaran Stratagem aired last night, and the Poison Sky tonight. Assuming they continue with FOUR episodes a week, and they will air every episode of the revived series before The Waters of Mars, that means that it should - in theory atleast - arrive on October 31st.

And I've never felt the need for a sig. Just dropping in, seeing how this lil place is going... but I'm pretty sure no one remembers me.

I know that you can change certain programs to start in certain ways from their shortcut icon... like my Football manager 2008 game does it in window'd mode, which can't be done through the game. I assume you can set specific resolutions. If the program you want to start up absolutely can't use any lower resolutions though... I'd be rather confused - as the max resolution on your laptop is smaller than the resolution needed. Tried hooking up a monitor and displaying it window'd on there?

I'm one of those old fashioned losers who has an ipod, actual camera and then a phone. Phone doesn't really matter to me. I only text and ring people on it. If I want to take photo's, I use my camera.

I have an HDMI port on my laptop. would that work?

You get the PC version. The Wii just isn't powerful enough to deliver the same kind of experiance. Hell, no console is. Its why football manager ports so badly to the 360 - all about RAM. And the consoles lack in that department. Having said that, if the Wii version is good, I'll pick it up.

I'm really happy they released Mario Kart now, but instead of Brawl?... Tough choice. I do think Mario Kart is the best mario Kart since the SNES one...

25m in the next year? So 50m by this time next year for Wii... Thats a lot of consoles, console-generation winning form...

A GAME employee tried to tell me that its release date was May 1st. I think he hoped I didn't realise that is a thursday. He wanted my pre-order monies...

I've been playing online with bunches of japanese most of the day... Going to have an attempt at some of those world records though later. My brain knows that I'll never come anywhere close, but my mind is thinking "i'm GREAT at mario kart!"

Football manager must run like a beast on 8GB of RAM...

Yeah I may not have said I had anything, but if I'm applying for disability student allowance, its pretty obvious I probably do have something. Hence my tirade at people not using common sense.

I have nystagmus. Its rather hard to fake that, if you know what it is. Anyway, I don't just need word. I asked for a higher end laptop because I'm doing cs + robotics. Only problem is that my wireless mouse/keyboard have stopped working... no time to fix, I have to go to campus. (and everyone telling me that I'm a dick for scamming can fuck right off. Not everyone on the internet is a complete ****. Cosndering I've been here a while, I thought I'd get a bit more credit than that)

So, I applied for disabilty student allowance last year. Got all the paperwork off, and heres what they gave me Laptop: Belinea o.book 5 - 17" screen - 2.2ghz dual core processor - nvidia 8600M GT - 2gb RAM - HD-DVD/DVDRW drive - 250GB HDD - 1.5mp webcam - bluetooth/wifi - Windows vista Ultimate 32-bit (would have preferred 64-bit, but i'm not complaining) - Office 2007 Home/Student Other Stuff - 22" belinea monitor for dual monitor - copier/printer/scanner really nice printer. it has a lcd sreen and uses wireless... - wireless keboard/mouse - laptop bag and case All in all, labour have secured my vote with free stuff.

I'm still toerm between getting this for the PC or the Wii.

Everything from the second dunegon in Oot to the end of the game. It just blew it wide open in the gameplay... Sonic 2, the first time I beat Robotnic on Death Egg Zone. Up until that point, rings had been the way to survive... then they were taken away? That game is definately how you are meant to do an ending to a game. Make it hard as nails and with no life. *thinks* First time you play Wii sports is great. But when you get good at Tennis, thats when it gets really fun. That game is rather deep, even though it doesn't seem it when you first play it... Oh, and when you catch your first legendary in Red/Blue. That was epic... Ohhh, when you go back to old hyrule in wind waker. I don't care what anyone says, that game has a great storyline.

I epxect two to three months of the freeloader working before Nintendo release a firmware update that completely screws everyone who owns one.

Apple are a business. they believe they can make more money doing the iphone without features many other phones have. And its working. People complaining about it won't change their mind. Apple have always been like this. However, i expected a new iphone revision this year. 5mp camera, MMS, video capture and GPS. Don't expect it to come cheap though...

Bother are money grabbing companies...

Ahhh wel. I have a TV aerial port on my laptop, so I can plug it in there when I want to play vc games then send that to my big monitor...

You should never go for too cheap an option when buying a PSU...

I might be being an idiot, and it is VGA... *checks* Yes, I am being an idiot. Is a VGA... got it working kids! Plugged my Wii into my old TV and got onto the right menu. Because you can't choose 480p if the tv isn't capable (mine wasn't) - its like faded out - I had to then plug it in and select it blind. Took a few goes, but it worked eventually. Dual monitors and Wii... though i don't like having to plug/unplug all the time. is it possible to get like a switch box to switch the signal whenever I want? EDIT: one thing does annoy me though. VC games dont' work on it. Any way to fix that?

Can't remember what its called or who its by - someone here recomended it. But when I hook it up, I don't get a picture. The cable itself works fine - blue light comes on, signifying its working. I plug it into my DVI cable, and it does nothing. Though I don't get a "no signal" message, it just... doesn't work. Anyone know what I have to do?

Easier way to do it is with iDump. Change your ipod to NOT sync with iTunes would be a start as well. Then plug in new ipod, use idump. Tell iTunes where to find all these new songs you download off your iPod. It will put them into your library. Then plug in your ipod again, enable sync (if you want) and you'll have all your stuff back on there.
