Packing.

heh I know, mine too I was only being semi serious, read up for Dog-amoto's post and all will be revealed. But fuck yeah, hopefully I'll get it on Thursday. : peace:

Ordered my copy on 05/06/08 from Play, the limited edition for £44.99... order hasn't changed to dispatched yet but Guitar Hero : WT has but as for Gears 2 I doubt I will get it before the release date bloody Play >< and even if I do get it on release / day after the postman will probably get here at about 1PM (lazy wanker >>) oh well... let the waiting game commence. that'll be 6 pts so far please Dog-amoto :P

Also purchased. : peace:

Video on IGN showing the install games to HDD feature... http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/dor/articles/924651/installing-your-games-video/videos/xbox_exp_noisetest_102908.html;jsessionid=1jdelxbse3ycd Looks good, gonna keep about 15 - 20gb HDD space on my HDD to store the most recent games I'm playing methinks, it will be a lot better when developers will most likely be able to implement quicker load times by hopefully optimising new games when you install them, but in the meantime at least it will make things quieter.

I'm still getting it : peace: I only played a couple of the challenges in the demo, the race and Jingo one... race one was fine but I just didn't "get" the Jinjo launching thing... I stopped playing it after that as I have this thing with demo's, if I have a lot to play anyway then I don't like to spend much time playing the demo's as I know I'll be doing that part in the game again anyway and could actually be getting something for it or at least make progress. :/ So yeah I'll still be picking it up, looking forward to playing it with an open mind and enjoying as much as I can of it.

Yush he did... end of SA2... with the battle... the real end battle... he says two words afaik.

Work or Study... hmm tough decision, not! well I should say not for me anyway, I'd decided that I didn't want to go down the university route ever since I left college; after enduring two - three years there I could take no more of so-called "education" thats not to say I'm condeming it either, lots of people choose that route because it's right for them, it wasn't right for me. Sure I passed my courses in college, even got an A in something, I believe it was Graphic Design... sidetracking but... I read in the local paper that my tutor who used to teach me in that subject commited suicide a little while after I'd left the college, a shame because I thought he was pretty good at what he did he didn't seem to think so though evidently >> not that I saw that as a sign or anything because I'd allready made up my mind on what route I was taking before that. T'was a year maybe two, maybe three... (you lose track of time when your claiming benefits because each day tends to merge into one) but then after lots of games playing and little fruition in the way of job-finding (and yes I had made every effort imaginable and I still had time to play a helluvalotofgames) there was sucess! of sorts... as I landed my first job at a local Theme Park! of all places. I jest now but it t'was a fun job despite a few annoying customers and minor annoyances, I met some interesting people and most of the time just had a laugh so to speak... then when that ended I immediately handed my CV in at my local supermarket, stacked shelves in the wine aisle for a couple of years and then when I wasn't required in that aisle anymore (due to a change in the law) I was given a choice... continue stacking shelves in the fruit and veg aisle or become a cook for the staff, away from the hustle and bustle of the shop floor and straight into running a kitchen and cooking for the demanding staff but tbh it was out of the fire and into the frying pan so to speak because now that I'm in there cooking I haven't really looked back. Now yes I don't actually like the act of having to go to work, I would still much rather stay at home (wouldn't we all) but it's something that needs to be done, when I'm actually there however I do get a certain satisfaction out of knowing that me being there is helping others and there are certain aspects of food prep etc that I genuinely enjoy, cleaning not so much but hey, it's all part and parcel; it's a demanding job too for what time I spend there... I work for 23 + hours a week but it feels like more lol. And yet I wouldn't have it any other way, so there you go, I guess some people are more suited to work than study and vice versa... my advice is simple... do whatever the fuck you like (within reason ) as long as you enjoy it to a certain extent then all is good. ^^

Banjo what? must have been a figment of my imagination.

*cough* back on topic... I played the demo for about 15 - 20 mins, was really enjoying it until I accidentally quit out of it >> but even just that short play pretty much sold the game for me, it is genuinely unlike anything I have ever played before... I still most likely won't pick it up on release as there is far too much coming out in November (sheesh there really is no pleasing us gamers ) but it is good to know that the game is out there, waiting for when I decide to pick it up and it will no doubt be one that I shall enjoy very much when I decide to give it the time it deserves.

This... It's only a matter of time now... Gyaaaaaaaah!

^^^ agreed, I have to say I am a little more forgiving about all of this, although maybe forgiving isn't the right word as Rare haven't exactly done anything wrong, they have just done something different and for that I applaud them. For me it's a fresh change and also kind of a natural transition when you look at the way things have been going in the series as regards to vehicles... first you could BE a truck amongst other things in Banjo-Tooie and then there was Banjo Pilot which was focused around vehicles. So it's not as if vehicles and the world of Banjo are completely astranged from each other, don't misunderstand me as I loved the original Banjo Kazooie... it was the first ever N64 game that I actually went out and bought upon it's release and I loved every minute of it, just as I will enjoy playing through it again on XBLA but Nuts & Bolts is Banjo taken in an entirely different direction and while the demo was huge it was at the same time severly limited as what was there was just a taste of whats to come.

Not as good as the recent Wii-ware Tetris Party though I bet yeah I know the Facebook version is probably free but meh... I've had no desire to use the already overused site and probably never will do, still each to their own.

I didn't notice, but noticed that Dazzy decided to notice and so I in turn scrolled back up and noticed, lol'd at what was noticable and that the fact that Daz initially noticed it but no one else did no offence meant there btw Daz, just that your clearly quite a perceptive person. Annnnyway... back on topic... Brrrrrraaaaaaaaainssssssssss!!1!

Really? fail... I would rather have the game and instruments at the same time, but then again... it is only the drums that are significantly different and it detects whichever kits your using... so still yay for Rock Band early releaseness. but omfg... Gears of War 2, Sonic Unleashed, GH:WT , Rock Band 2, Lips, Banjo Kazooie Xbla / N&B, Left 4 Dead, Tomb Raider : Underworld, Mirrors Edge plus more in the SAME MONTH... can November get any more awesome?

Awesome news : peace: but is that supposed to be just for the game or the instruments as well? because so far Play have only just listed the actual standalone game up there, hopefulyl instruments to follow though... oh and also take a look at the Peripheral range, Madcatz have gone all out it seems... http://www.play.com/Search.aspx?searchtype=X360&searchstring=rock+band&page=search&pa=search&go.x=0&go.y=0 Though I must admit some of them do look rather good and I have the mic stand which is awesome. ^^

Coca cola company (inc coke, sprite, fanta, dr pepper etc) had a thing where you could win a Wii every day (certain amount of them to give away each day) when you entered codes online from bottle wrappers, rindpulls etc and while I didn't win a Wii I won the runner up prize of a DS lite with New super mario bros. ^^ I allready had both though so I gave the lite to my younger bro as an Xmas present and sold the extra copy of new super mario bros for profitz I think...

^^^ T'is a good deal but only if you want the PS3 version and assuming you already have instruments to play on it. Anyway I'm definitely just getting this solus for Xbox 360 and it's awesome news that Rock Band 2 is now coming out on the same day I believe? or a week after or something...

Worse stuff happens in the world... so they got carried away, big deal, I'm not defending their actions but the BBC has a habit of blowing things way out of proportion. It seems like he didn't even hear the message from his own answerphone but from another source when it was played to him and it was only then that he was (understandably) "Deeply offended" or whatever. He probably doesn't know a lot about his grandaughters life what she does etc probably only the jist of it, so being told such stuff over an answerphone message would have been a shock to him I guess considering his age and even if it was intended to be funny he probably wouldn't have found it amusing even if he'd know it was a joke as comedy most likely means something very different to him. Respect to the guy too, he played a well loved character in an excellent British comedy for it's time but I also can't help thinking... what has he done recently? Anyway, apparently his grandaughter pretty much immediately sold her story to the Scum so it clearly wasn't her who was offended but she did make the point that she was upset that they sent the message to her Grandfather who is the innocent partly moreorless but I think she had other reasons for that interview, not to mention the lump sum of cash she would have got for it. Anyway, bottom line, I like Sachs and I don't think he deserved to be treated that way (even though he did say he would do a phone interview for the show and then didn't) his granddaughter? couldn't care less about because what was said about her br Brandt was probably pretty close to the truth anyway, Brandt, he's ok... sometimes funny, often annoying, constantly trying to be controversial, and Ross? funny sometimes, not so much now as he used to be, sometimes watched his show if someone interesting was on there. In conclusion... meh.

Wait... what... demo... *checks* oh THAT demo, zomg! downloads ^^ ty for the heads up Hot, I didn't even know there was gonna be one, how long has it been up for? O.o

So I've done the first training dungeon, I'm guessing thats a default dungeon? if so where does the extra dungeon come in to play which you get with the limited edition code? I got my Master Chief esque armour and energy sword though and loved the way it was all nicely integrated and still manages to fit in loosely with the overall theme, glad I got the ltd edition now, though it was the last one in the shop so it was the only choice really but yeah good stuff so far.

From pick-up it takes about 1.5 - 2 weeks generally...

Ok so I found myself stuck in town on the way back from work and then somehow ended up in my local independant Games retailer... and... and.... I caved in lolz. I got the last copy of Fable II they had there and it was a ltd edition, what does the bonus downloadable stuff consist of? (haven't played it yet but will do later on) also is it really that good or ever so slightly overhyped but justifiably so I'm guessing...
