Badhorse hates slowpokes. (But I agree with you.)

Yeah, it all worked in the end... but there doesn't seem to be a way of comparing things with your XBL friends... what's the point of that? There's another club that Toblix hasn't mentioned: The Millionaires Club, for those that have earned (including what you've spent) a million dollars in the game. It's so amazingly underwhelming I almost find it depressing... especially considering this is RockStar. Even Guitar Hero III's online stats were better. Weird.

I would guess it was because "Talkies" were a TYPE of "Movie". Back when there were still silent pictures there was a need to distinguish the new ones with sound. When sound (which was described at the time as being nothing but a "fad") took over, there was no need to distinguish them from regular movies anymore.

Ha! Makes sense now. Don't think I'll actually try it though... I still want my 360 fixed if there's another RRoD!

Yeah, it's just that only certain motherboards can add firmware to certain drives. Wrong IDE/RAID chipset on your PC for your 360 drive and there's nothing you can do. But you're right, it's pretty simple... provided it still works after updates :/ Amazingly you still CAN'T play region locked games... How sucky is that?

Good to see there's some new content on the main page! Shame it crashes my Firefox though :/

Yes, there's plenty of idiots out there... but hacking a 360 is something else (unless they've made major advances since I last "investigated" -- EDIT: They have... to a degree). It's not easy, in fact it's rather fiddly (read VERY)... but not impossible, provided you don't mind MS possibly bricking your 360 the next time it updates.

Unless I'm going blind, there doesn't seem to be a link to the forums on the "rejuvenated" homepage. Are we THAT exclusive now... or are we being phased out?

Yup, it's definitely Javascript and FF3.03... weird (now I've read my IM in Chrome the forums work fine in FF).

It's almost impossible to play pirate games on a 360, AFAIK. You need to modify the hardware, which can be checked when your 360 is updated. You need a DVD drive that you can butcher when burning it, too. Not to mention Dual Layer DVDs. I bet only a minuscule percentage could possibly play a cracked game.

Oddly enough it seems FF 3.03 is having problems with Javascript on here. No idea why, but it now crashes when I come to the forums... but I have a new IM (which would cause a JS pop-up). Of course it all worked fine before. Arg. Using PC not Mac, BTW.

Do you mind?! We're having a discussion here! Oh, right...

Lol! That made me chuckle.

Confused...

Man that blows. I can see the cheat thing... I guess - but losing all the software you bought?! That's not right!

Well at least he wasn't offering WoW gold or POKEMON FRIEND CODES.

What actually happened?

Just as I'd uploaded it and was about to post it...!

I'm there!

It seems that the dude that wrote the "review" of Empire had only read the first five chapters and missed Card's all-important afterword: Edit: Actually, IS this a good definition of fanaticism? I'm not sure it is, Mr Card Does it make me "fanatical" to believe that Hitler rose to power amid lies and scaremongering? I think not Edit edit: Oh dear

It's weird isn't it? How does he manage to keep it under the carpet? I'd love for a Chris Morris type to do an interview with him and bring out a random Vietnamese guy wearing an eye patch to see his reaction...

Speaking of GTA, I unlocked the helicopter rides.... WOW! How do they do that?

The Wire On season 2 right now (about halfway through) and although I kind of miss the realism of season 1, it's still really good. As for Marky Mark, at least he no longer feels guilty about the violent racist attacks of his youth: http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/Oscars2007/story?id=2509542&page=1 Yowch: http://www.modelminority.com/article225.html Which is all weird, because according to my new fave show, The Wire, Baltimore is the least racist city in the world

I agree... But I think he's right about the cops and auto-aim prioritisation.

Well the trick is to quickly go for Wax On and then get good at avoiding and killing the baddies for... Hey! Wait a minute...
