Someone hacked my Live account. I'm literally amazed. My password was down the lines of 'B0B-ha55le-L1VE', at 16 digits long and including lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols it should be very, very secure. I'm wondering if there's been a cock-up at Microsoft's end to be honest, because I can't see anyone actually cracking a password similar to the one above. It's either that, or someone got a key logger on to my computer

I moved from Specsavers to Vision Express last week. I'm not sure what it was that prompted me to move, but I'm glad I did. Turns out Specsavers own-brand contact lenses weren't doing my eyes any good. I had noticed that my eyes were bloodshot a lot, but didn't know why. It was because the contact lenses weren't letting enough oxygen through, and because I have dry eyes. I've now got better lenses, and after just over a week of wearing them I can't believe the difference! The whites of my eyes are actually... white! They're a lot more comfortable too. The downside? My initial bill was £114.95, even after a third off from student discount. I will also be paying £32/month from mid-Feb for the lenses, compared to £22 at Specsavers. Worth it to be able to ditch glasses though, always hated them. Uncomfortable, inconvenient and ugly.

Was about to point to that S30 too. Richer Sounds have the ST30 for £50 more too. Not sure what the differences are beyond 3D though. What's the budget out of interest?

Anyone else think magic is really poor in this game? Or is it just me? I tried making a pure Mage character but... eurgh Not fun. Compared to melee and archery/sneak, magic is tough. Really tough. I keep getting my arse handed to me because enemies don't react to a torrent of fire flying at them, they just charge right through it and hack my fleshy arse to bits. I've tried all sorts of different strategies, including bringing a henchman along and conjuring a dremora, but most enemies seem to prioritise attacking me anyway and the same thing happens. Actually, as a thought, is it just me or is the entire population of Skyrim fearless? Not just thinking about magic here, but Dragons too. Nobody runs from them. I haven't seen a single creature or event that has phased a guard or bandit the whole way through.

Presumably your computer stored then old SSID and has made a connection between the two (same MAC address?). My router has been resetting to factory settings a lot lately. Really annoying. I have a back-up of the configured software (thankfully) but because there's no computer connected directly to the router I have to move my PC downstairs every time I need to reflash it. I'll let you know if it dies soon, might answer your question.

Apparently yes Cannot wait on that!

Got the new dashboard too. Tis much better. Interestingly there's an app store on there...

I had like 10HP left or something silly. And I was low level at the time, it was actually the first Sabre Cat I'd seen so I was properly like WTF??? Funny shit though. Done the Companions, Main Quest and Stormcloak storylines now. No idea what to do next other than do menial quest after menial quest with no sense of purpose, so I started again with a Wood Elf Thief. Archery is actually pretty awesome and I'm loving having a high sneak level

This game is win. Me and two giants were beating the snot out of this dragon. We killed it. The giants made me in to a baseball. I reloaded. This time same thing, but I sprinted away from the giants just as the dragon fell and... got mauled by a sabre cat. lol. Really liking the combat in this one though. I think they've almost nailed it, though taking on multiple opponents in melee is still very messy.

It's sad, but I turned to Skirow to sort this out. Now installed, cracked and ready to go Driving lesson in 20 mins so not bothering to play it right now, don't want to spoil the undoubtedly epic intro. While I really like Steam, it's times like this that it just ticks me off.

I got my copy (PC) this morning. Doesn't unlock until tomorrow How stupid.

http://www.avforums.com/forums/computer-classified-adverts/ Buy used from there. Stick to sellers with good feedback and relatively new (<2 years old, 5 year warranty) drives. The people who run AVF have told users they cannot profiteer on HDDs and that prices need to be below what they paid for them (with proof supplied).

People seem to be catching on to them now. When I first unlocked it people didn't pay any attention to them and rarely shot at them (resulting in much hilarity, I took out three guys and an MCOM station in one run. Solo). You know what is really awesome? Having the entire team use either the EOD or EAV in some kind of weird robot-rush. Was playing with a bunch of mates last night and we managed to pull this off.

Completed this last night. Looking forward to seeing what DLC they release now, would be wicked to get some story-mode DLC for Robin and maybe others (Nightwing?).

I thought the idea was to make money from the used game industry, rather than kill it? They'll still be making money from it, but that money will be coming from Gamestop rather than Gamestop's customers.

In all honesty £61 is a pretty good price for the 5830 and one you'll struggle to beat. Not sure what you think to this though; http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-253-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1866 Overbudget, true. However it's a faster card with a copy of Deus Ex: HR and DiRT3 added in. Just something else to chew on.

I can't really see the problem with that TBH. Having to buy DLC puts people off used games, meaning they sit on the shelf for ages, the retailer takes a hit on them and transfers that back to the customer by offering lower trade-in prices in future.

http://www.comparemobiledeals.com/ http://www.comparemobiledeals.com/mobile-phones/Samsung/Galaxy-S2?&tab=Pay-Monthly&page=1&sortby=Cheapest 600 Minutes 500 Texts Internet (no idea how much though, prob at least 500MB) £30.64/month Free GSII 18-month contract £95 cashback through the retailer £60.60 cashback through Topcashback Total: £395.92 That seems to be the best deal. If you want 12 months instead this deal is still the cheapest, just cancel in month 11 (you give 30 days notice) and they'll ask you for £153.20 as a final payment (plus month 12's bill), which would make the total £365.28 for the year. You could recoup the early termination fee by selling the Galaxy, you won't need it assuming the reason for cancelling was to get a new phone! While I dislike the Galaxy (it looks rather dull, just a slab of plastic with a big screen that's too bright and oversaturates colour) it is kinda hard to see the iPhone 4S, Nokia N9/N950 or HTC Titan as good value when there's such a powerful phone going this cheap. It's quite disgraceful really.

Still hacked off that it ain't coming til November. Publishers have utterly screwed up the release dates this year for me. Battlefield 3, Skyrim, MW3, Batman and Assassin's Creed all within a little over 2 weeks. I'm tempted to get this on 360 because no way do I have time to play all of those at once, and it's pretty difficult to choose between Batman and Skyrim!...

I'm more interested in Motorola's Droid RAZR to be honest. That handset looks insanely good! Still, not a bad update. Tempted to sell my iPad and try out ICS on a tablet now.
