The Bard

Gosh, do you people not remember the time when the PS2 was the cheapest DVD player around?? It turned out not being able to play anything properly.

Gamecube at the moment interests me far more than the 360, PS3 or even the Wii, it already has a library of astonishingly brilliant games, and being so cheap, i think you should definately check it out.

Well, GX's soundtrack was a typical videogame soundtrack, but F-Zero X's live guitar versions were so much better, you could listen to them outside the game and they stand up on their own as individual compositions, and that's the sign of all good videogame music, such as the soundtracks from FF7, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross etc, they all have brilliant music thats a pleasure to listen to even when not playing the game. I personally don't consider techno to be music so I was pretty disappointed with F-Zero GX's soundtrack as compared to F-Zero X's. Of course, it is a much better game overall though, but I can't help but feel a little cheated...

http:// http://uk.revolution.ign.com/articles/710/710181p1.html Yep, I do realise that they're not the exact same chips, all I meant to say is that they are similar...I do see your point of view, although I'm pretty sure that Xbox had a Geforce 4, anyway, I dono, maybe the reason I want it cheap is because I don't think theres all that much to draw me to the next gen consoles because the Cube and DS and even PS2 to some extent are keeping me plenty satisfied as it is. I think that Nintendo will have to set a very low price point for the Wii, otherwise , picture your typical British ignoramus, he's going to walk into a game store and see some cool games for the Wii, and might vaguely percieve that the controller is a good thing (you know, in the back of his mind where evil thoughts don't run rampant) but instead, he's going to go home with a PS2 and copy of time crisis which'll run him in the neighbourhood of £40

I could launch into a tirade about how Pop-punk, Emo, Rap, Techno, Disco and any band that contains that delonge bastard is not music, but I've decided to spare you. Go listen to Dragonforce...or Blind Guardian...It'll do you good.

Aaah!! The Green hurts my eyeses...but in all honesty, it's pretty distinctive, if a little cheesy now that I look at it properly...and even though I hate disco and anything and everything to do with it im going to go ahead and give you a 7/10 for originality.....seems very...department-store-summer-advertisement like PS. Let the hate begin....

Hmm...Is that Petrucci I see on your avatar?? Edit: Actually, it's probably not...

Yeah, thats pretty much spot on

Hmm...and here I thought the bosses were quite easy, I mean if you scan them, the game literally tells you exactly how to beat them...

Yes I know, but the Graphic and sound cards are based on the cubes Gekko and Flipper cards with some graphical enhancements (they are so similar that they were able to allow gamecube functionality based on the Wii's hardware while not needing any extra chipsets or emulators), I'd say a Geforce 4 card could pull off Galaxy graphics easily, and thats what the Xbox had. Xboxes are now about £50-70 if I remember correctly, so the majority of the Wii's expenditure goes towards the bluetooth and motion sensors, and thats hardly going to cost upwards of £70 right?

Yes...yes it was...just had it today...I think I managed to scrape an A though, but I had about 2 hours of sleep last night and I'm pretty deadbeat right now...

Looks like new Nintendogs is set to be rated (18)...loLLerZZ....

Oh man, all this after-credits talk has got me riled up...

Mission Impossible...ugh that was bad...

I was bored so I thought I'd re-post this here ^ Dr. Cox when sony announced their super pwnage controller that not only manages to have half assed tilt control, but also manages to exclude rumble while being more uncomfortable than watching American pie with your Grandma... Below is Dr. Cox (being the bastion of testosterone driven awesomeness that he is) calling Sony "Belinda," writing it a prescription for two testicles before telling them that they are what they eat, and that they clearly went out and devoured a big fat guy didn't they?

Ha! Thats the one game I wanted a PS3 for...

Lol, Ben's big mouth gets him into twubble...

Back To The Future (1, 2 + 3): 11/10. best movie ever, Cris lloyd is teh lollers.

Ok...I'll bear that in mind...lest I suffer the wrath of Reggie... I love all o DF's songs...but Fury or Soldiers of the Wasteland has to take the cookie.

Reggie's wierd... also...saw the force in Jan at Manchester Academy 2 \m/ it was teh pwntorz \m/ Me and ma mates were literally shouting ourselves hoarse along to black fire...

On a side note, Dragonforce pwn.

I think I should try it with prime 2...

Eh? Stocka's A GCSE student? Here I thought you were much older than that. Anyway, you should consider yourselves lucky, GCSE's are a piece of piss, with minimal revision I managed to get A*, 7A's, B, C, and this was with about 2 or 3 days worth of revision. Believe me when I tell you that next year you are going to have to work yer ass off to just scrape a C, I've got my Eng Lit AS tomorrow and it doesn't look good... oh well, I suppose theres always, F-Zero,waiting when I get back... Unfortunately they made me do Lord of the Flies last year, which I connected with on an intellectual level, but still didn't enjoy at all...the other option was Catcher in The Rye, which is my favourite book, so imagine how cheated I felt... Anyway, for AS this year I had to do Hamlet, Wuthering Heights, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead, and Selected poems by Keats. As a heads up you GCSE students should definately read either "The Great Gatsby" or "Wuthering Heights" because those are the texts you're likely to be tested on for AS. EDIT: Oh Whoops...my bad...

Oh, I can just imagine the hours of pwning countless yanks online, although it's going to need to be a pretty high sensitivity mic if you're going to be be talking while pointing at the screen etc... EDIT: How amazing would karaoke be if you could use your own personal choice of songs...?? Imagine singing, nay, screaming along to Slayer and then being able to post it online... Raining Blood!!! From A Lacerated Sky!! Creating My Structure...Now I Shall Reign In Blood!! Long live the day... Rofflez.

Eh? Reggie looks pretty Japanese to me...not to say he deserves this though...
