That Guy

I'm going exactly the same way mate. Don't know why I have a 360 tbh. I never play it and there is nothing on it that interests me at the moment. I enjoyed Kameo despite it frustrating the hell out of me, and PGR3 was really good, but I couldn't be arsed to get many silver medals, let alone fully complete it. Other than that? I've played Oblivion once, Dead Rising twice, Burnout and DOA have barely been touched for weeks and weeks now, and I wont even say anything about PDZ. I wont sell the console because I'm sure I'll want something for it evetually, but this is a very boring spell right now. I've had more fun with Brain Training and Tetris recently.

Well, I've just tried to play the Sonic demo again and it's even worse than the last time I played it. Words can't describe how bad it is. You're supposed to use the homing attack for things but all too often you fly off and miss what you were trying to get to entirely and fall to your death. It's unplayable, and I really want it to be good.

Definitely, Sonic games have gotten worse and worse, Adventure was quite decent, Adventure 2 was decent but a bit boring, Heroes was crap, Shadow I've never played but was meant to be shitter still, and this isn't looking too good. Hopefully this is an early build and it'll be better come release.

I'm going to spend the whole of tonight on my 360, missing it! Hopefully I've still got some time of gold left and can play a few games of PGR and DOA. I also haven't played Burnout for over a month, and could do with finishing PDZ.

Sonic the Hedgehog really is a pile of shit. I mean really really bad. I can't remember playing a game so bad for a very long time. Camera seems even worse, the controls are abysmal, if that is how the game is going to turn out then I'm just not going to bother with it. Truely shocking.

Haha, It really is bad...

It's been about 3 weeks now since I played my 360. Going to try and play a couple of games tomorrow. Don't even know if my Live membership is still going. Don't even know if it's worth me buying another couple of months just yet. Might even sell a couple of games, spending too much time with my DS and playing around with my MacBook. NEED to play Dead Rising tomorrow though. And maybe some DOA4. And I didn't know there was a Sonic demo!

Thanks for that. Looks decent, but like has been said, NO WEBCAM SUPPORT. The only reason I wouldn't have used Messenger anyway. Ah well, I'm still gonna use it. I just can't believe we still can't use webcams...

I'm wondering that aswell. I actually haven't played my 360 now since the weekend that Dead Rising came out. Not sure why, just can't be bothered. I'm sooo lazy!

I know what you mean, the crap voices are kind of a charm of the game, I hope to play it on 360 one day.

It's great ain't it? :-) I'm really loving using Mac OS X instead of Windows. Ilove that little remote aswell. Even the way things minimise and maximise is cool. Doesn't really taking a whole lot of getting used to. Only thing that has even slightly bothered me is not using the same keyboard shortcuts. Photobooth is also fun to play around with. This is the best £750 I've ever spent so far. Love it. And I've never said that about anything Windows related. This feels much easier to use and I'm not sure why. I'm guessing you lot like Mac better then? Why do you prefer it?

Got it last night and its fantastic! I'll write more later as I'm at work right now...

I still didn't play Dead Rising! I really want to but can't be bothered still. So lazy! I've also not been on Live for ages.

I can't say what is wrong with your pc but it sounds very similar to mine, and that was fucked. I was never told what was wrong with mine (pc world are crap...) but I had everything replaced and still no joy. It might be on its way out.

I agree mate. I was a little disappointed with the price, as it doesn't put quite as much of a gap between Xbox 360, however I got over it in a second. At this price its low enough so we can pretty much all afford it, but still expensive enough for it not too seem like a cheap bit of kit.

I haven't played Dead Rising for nearly a week! And it only came out a week ago! Going to have to have a good weekend of gaming, cus I've not played my Xbox for ages now. Is Gears of War the next major Xbox 360 release?

I think thats what Apple has has tried to do, nothing major that will make everyone go out and buy new iPods but just make a few minor improvements. My iPod is well slow now though when you scroll whilst playing a song. Might have to restore it when I get my new computer.

OK, so this isn't some weird problem Macs have with Gmail then?

Oooohhh blue note instead of green. Wow, it's actually quite nice, couple of small little things, nothing major, still it's an improvement.

Thats exactly what I thought when I heard you could make your own podcast. I need to find myself a Karl Pilkington-esque idiot. And what do you mean gmail doesn't work smoothly?

Should I buy one direct from Apple or will it be exactly the same from PC World? I only ask this as my PC World experience has been crap, but I want it as soon as possible (next thursday).

Well where can I get it for 'free' then? :p It's not a problem anyway, I've decided to get one and I think I'll get iWork and Photoshop in a couple of months aswell. Going to learn a language aswell so some software for that would be good, but I've seen loads on amazon. I'm in full time work.

Did you? .

But MS Office is £300. Unless you get the student version but don't you have to be a student to get it :-|

I think iWork is £50.
