  1. I've just ordered a Wireless router so I can go online with my Wii, but I didn't really read up on what I'll need to make it all work. My PC is getting on a bit, so I also ordered a USB thingy to go into it. Will I need to configure the router on my computer before I can use it with my Wii, and is the USB adapter enough to make sure my computer will work with it?

     

    Cheers.

  2. There are some pretty big lists here, so I don't know if anyone's mentioned Round the Twist yet, or to a lesser extent the summer holiday favourite Ocean Odyssey (Ocean Girl outside of the UK). Early 90's Aussie Kids shows seem to hit the right buttons for me.

     

    And I've seen the Raccoons somewhere in this thread, and I noticed someone has Bert for his avatar on here.

     

    "You can run with us!"

  3. To be honest I've slowly drifted away from the more guitar-centric stuff over the last couple of years, though there was a time when I couldn't go five minutes without listening to Passion and Warfare. If G3 do another tour don't pass up the opportunity to see Satch and Vai live, I caught them a couple of years ago when they toured with Robert Fripp and it was incredible.

  4. I once sold a bunch of N64 games to gamecubegod/phantasmagoria/otherpsuedonyms for £60 and he never paid me. That didn't help :(

     

    I can't believe you never get the money for those games, that must've been three or four years ago now?

     

    Lots of reminiscing of the old days in here. It's a shame some of the older CE folk only post when CE is/can be mentioned and aren't involved in much of the NE forum stuff. Still, that's the transition of life for ya.

     

    There are still people on here who I miss, but every time I come back here I see people speaking to each other like utter shite. It's that highly strung atmosphere and general lack of community that distinguishes this board from its predecessor.

  5. I remember all the names Moria mentioned apart from stubbietubbie, never heard of him. I remember Zeikfried, but only because he was part of that stupid fucking 'uber 1337s' thing where had various childish little clans. Actually, I think that was why I left in the end.

     

    *Takes a deep breath*

     

    I think you got the wrong end of the stick about that "childish clan". For a start, anyone who thought we used that name without our tongue firmly in one cheek needs a kick in the tailbone, and the reason we stuck together the way we did was because we met up away from the computer screen (Dan and Jordan travelling a fair few miles to do so) and had a friendship a bit more tangible than anything you can get in front of it.

     

    Zeik is arguably the finest member this board has ever had, and there are still plenty of regulars who will testify to this.

  6. Unreal Tournament 2007 made sense, its being released this year in 2007.

     

    UT3 makes NO sense.

    Theres been FOUR UT games. Epic are idiots! Also, console versions of UT basically suck. Play it on the PC...

     

    I think what they're getting at is that this will be the third generation of UT, as 2003 and 2004 were essentially the same game with added bells and whistles. I love the series so I think it's time to start looking for a new PC, does anyone know what specs we're looking at for this?

  7.  

    Trenchcoats and Buddism

     

    Trenchcoat - Trenches - 1st World war - Conscientious objection - Limp-wristed liberal fags - Buddhism

    Postman Pat - Postman - Royal Mail - Shitty Delays - Duke Nukem Forever - Duke Nukem

     

    Awesome

  8. I've just downloaded this Last.fm thing I keep seeing here, I've downloaded it and created an account, but when I try to sign in during the setup wizard it's telling me it cannot connect to the internet, even though I'm obviously on it. Also, when I open a new window or refresh a page it ocassionally tells me that it can't work offline, but everything else is telling me that I'm already connected, what the hell's going on?

     

    Cheers.

  9. Yeah, I was being facetious - They do put in more money than they take out, the best right-wing think tanks have been able to do with the figures is say that if you divide how much they bring in by the amount of people in the country it doesn't sound like very much.

     

    Oh, sorry, after a re-read I'm definitely picking up on that, it's just becoming difficult to weed it out from some of the other things I've read in this thread.

  10. Then instead of coming to claim our benefits they're coming to steal our jobs though, see ;)

     

    A fact people don't like to mention is if English people on the dole were willing to take the type of jobs that migrant workers do, there'd be no job market for most of them and they'd go somewhere else.

     

     

    But since they're more qualified to do the job, doesn't that mean they're entitled to it? It's not as if we're losing out, migrant workers put more money into the economy than they take out (will come back to you with a source on that).

  11. I think we should only let people in that have a trade/skill/qualification.

     

    I'm no expert on the subject, but isn't that already the case, and if people wish to stay here permanently they need to justify why they are better suited to the job they're applying for than anyone who's already here, skill shortages etc?

  12. I highly dissapprove of the word myself, it IS a racist word, as explained by the fish. I'm a pretty easy going guy, and often to subject of jokes and such from my friends, but most of them know that even if they call me a Paki in a joking way, I'm actually going to punch them in the face.

    I also can't help but think Apple NdiB's post was a little less than innocent in using the word.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I phrased it the way I did to show that, contrary to what was said in the post before my own that there's no such thing as an acceptable context for the word. There are enough people on here who are used to my way of expressing my thoughts, but I apologise if I caused any offence to anyone.
