Yeah, its a good idea to wait until E3. Hopefully companies like Ubisoft have a few secrets up their sleeves... We can always depend on Nintendo and hopefully they'll give the console as much attention as they have done with the DS. As for actually stating games like Sadness (orb, thorn, raid over the river...) as revolution titles which are actually going to be released... I wouldnt bet too much on them, although the best of luck to them. I believe Cars has also been confirmed, although perhaps im wrong. Certainly, as people have stated...its going to be a console for everyone and it'll be interesting to see whether they can do a Sony or not.

It seems as if a big chunk of the games which have been announced for the Wii so far are kiddy games and at the moment, the Gamecube seems to have had a lot more 3rd party support around the time of its launch. Is anybody else concerned that for the large part, we'll get kiddy games (with the Wii being the replacement for the Gamecube) and the rare 3rd party multifornat port for the system? I hope they are holding A LOT back for E3, because im concerned that the Wii will follow down the path of the Gamecube and a lot of publishers just wont take the 'Wii' seriously when they have the 360, PS3 and PC to develop for. I think Nintendo only really have those kiddy games to depend on as publishers know that they sell well on the cube.

Today was quite fun at the game HQ. It was wii jokes there for the first hour or two of the day, then they had a Xbox 360 Table Tennis tournament with lots of pizza and beer.

Somebody needs to hand out "I read S.C.G's post" rewards...woohoo. But I guess that just goes to show that people care.

Hi Cubed, If you dont receive an email from me in your inbox, try checking your junk folder (they often go in there with hotmail). Should get it on Friday.

Hi Harribo, that is similar to me when i was at school/college. I probably did about 2 pieces of homework at secondary school in the last year or two and i couldnt ever bring myself to do coursework at college... I just changed my courses to ones which were just based on examinations and that suited me more. I had to really push myself to do revision. Its hard when you put so much effort into trying to do something but can barely bring yourself to do anything... Got better with age though and i can spend ages studying languages, which i enjoy.

I have a headache and im tired but i have to give my 125 gallon aquairum a water change and then do the washing up.. Cant say I am happy right now! Anddd I have to work saturday so only get one day off work this week because i had to take today off even though i didnt want to...it makes the wait to the weekend 1 day longer and the weekend half as long. :mad: :mad: next week i am working 11:30am to 8pm...happens once every two weeks and its annoying as hell. One week you are either working on saturday or you're working until 8pm at night. Once my braces are out and im not tied down to certain comitments anymore, im going to leave the country and then i'll be happy. Grass is always greener on the other side!

Bring the Royal Mail back into the public sector under government control.

If it was sent out thursday, its got 5 working days before they can claim off the royal mail for any losses, so chances are it'll be processed tomorrow for you. I live about 5 mins from gameplay and the royal mail's depot and when my copy of animal crossing arrived, there was a big tear in the package as if somebody had opened it up to see whether there was anything worth stealing....theres no chance the packaging could have got damaged when i live right on their doorstep. It was then enclosed in a royal mail bag saying that my item had been 'damaged' on its way to me and that they were really really sorry.....

I dont want to know what games are coming to the revolution yet! Not 1st party games at least... Anybody feeling the same? I wished that they would just be silent after Red Steel and not reveal any news on games like Donkey Kong...Ive been waiting almost a year for this E3 and they're ruining the big event! (unless revolution could fly us all to the moon!)

1 word: April 28th :shock:

same here, but it gives us all a reason to live another day!

Perhaps the third secret is.......... the price, wouldnt that just be brilliant?

puberty doesnt last forever guys, its just that time of your life for some of you. I had really annoying spots when younger, but they do all go away in the end no matter how bad they get. I only seem to get spots straight after having my hair cut for some strange reason. Lots of people blossom once they've matured.

Im a diehard blur fan and none of you could begin to understand how much I adore blur, so all i'll say is: BBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! wOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 BLURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ARE THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!! BLUR BLUR BLUR BLUR BLUR! and guys, buy the Kids with guns single NOW as the B side on it is one of their best songs ever produced. Stop the Dams is by Damon and his icelandic pals Ghost Digital. Albarn created a movie soundtrack with Einar Orn Bendiktsson back in 2001 called 101Reykjavik and they are good friends. Heres for a new BLURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR BLURRRRRRRRRRRRR BLURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR album! Did i mention that I liked blur?

I finally got hold of a PCI graphics card...its a 128mb ATI Radeon 9250 and was super cheap. It took me about 5 hours of work to figure out how to disable my integrated graphics. I had to play around in the BIOS screen in the end as my comp started running a dual screen set up with 1 monitor.... Im now a proud owner of C&C - The First Decade. It plays fine on a nice resolution aslong as you stay away from the high quality graphics setting.: peace:

I cant bare going into Gamestation because of the music. I swear that they had Will Young turned up on full volume while I was in there buying some N64 games, I felt as if my ears were going to bleed.

cool, this means we can expect the revolution on the 1st september!

Ive sat here and read all 821 messages in one go. Do I get a cookie?

thanks guys, you've all been really helpful! Changing the motherboard seems like a good idea. ..I'll play C&C: Generals if its the last thing I do!

God, did i say 2 years? It is actually 3 years old... Its an: AMD Athlon XP 2000 512mb RAM 80gb Hard drive Those slots at the bottom are PCI slots right? One has a card for USBs. I am going to get one of those ultraportable laptops with the 12inch screens, so not much chance of getting a proper graphics card for one of those! This old pc has my wireless router connected to it, so i want to keep it and if possible, finally get to play Command and Conquer Generals (bought it 3 years ago and it remains unplayed!). Will any PCI graphics card be ok?

Ive had this PC for 2 years now and what has always been a let down is the 32mb integrated graphics it came with... Is it at all possible to put a proper graphics card into this PC or not? Im getting a new laptop, but want to still have this one around to attach my wireless router to.

£149.99 would be a good price if they pushed a lot of accessories with the console, like the nunchuks and controller shell...it would be great opening up a box and finding lots of extras to play around with.

Anyone attacked their gamecube with a hammer before? I spent about 2 hours trying to get into mine with a saw and hammer and could only scratch the paint with the hammer....forget about other consoles, it could win robot wars.

If its just a souped up xbox, i might not get it..im really excited about the revolution, but i already have a Gamecube and dont need an upgraded one with some controller which doesnt belong with it, thanks Its supposed to be a revolution, not a gamecube upgrade. Whats the point of filling the revolution with obsolete technology.
