  1. Video games: Causality vs correlation

    It is a very good article - although for me he doesn't touch enough on the restraint or discipline aspect. He says we need to teach ethics - but that is something that personally I see as not many kids growing up have any more.
  2. I think you should be able to manage this, and go for a brisk 4 mile walk before you're needed again at some points.
  3. A real face-melter (or "Hayfever's a right b*st*rd!")

    What. The. Hell?
  4. play.com are claiming it's being packed. Could it arrive earlier than release? Could this be a first for play?
  5. Nice link. I'm glad the getaway has not made it to the PS3.
  6. See, I've only played MGS1, and have not seen or played the others. I'm hoping this will be as good as the first! Nachimir...'downsized'? That doesn't sound too good. D'you reckon it will ever come out?
  7. Big Fat Recommendation

    Have a look at Boom Blox. The folks at work who have it say it's pretty cool.
  8. It was the secondary reason I purcahsed a PS3 a few weeks ago. The main one being WipeoutHD (which still isn't out ). Still this is on pre-order and am looking forward to it!
  9. Zero Punctuation

    I'm in the same mind as Thunderpeel. It just looked too time intensive to get anything out of it. So I didn't bother.

    Based on that, I've gone ahead and ordered. No point mucking about. See how they are for a month, and go from there! Cheers. Will post details up when I have them.

    ah, Cheers Thrik. I've been looknig about and they're one of the ones I've looked at. They are pretty cheap if you get a 'per-slot' solution - but have absolutely no frame of reference as to what is good or bad GSP service. You don't work for them do you?
  12. Idle Thumbs Steam community

    Actually, am currently looking into renting a TF2 server. Has anyone got any recommendations for GSPs?

  14. Where is everybody?

    Shit, I would'a done so as well. Was down there principally meeting folk from BlueYonder.
  15. Where is everybody?

    I was in brighton last weekend. First time I'd ever been there, was top fun.
  16. Where is everybody?

    Summer? Yet again, the British Isles comes up trumps. The first two days of june were warmish, in Brighton anyway. Day 3, back in West Yorkshire, it's been raining more or less constantly. Whoop-di-doo!
  17. Call of Duty 4

    That ferris wheel on hardened. Jesus wept.
  18. Movie/TV recommendations

    On another forum I frequent, folk generally have a different viewpoint on films, as people do. They are, however, united in describing Indy 4 as a bag of arse.
  19. So, this "GTA 4" thing then...

    Yeh, man TPB is ace. I was shown it a few months ago, watched series 3 in one sitting. Now seen the film, series 1,2,3, have got 7 (not watched), with 4,5,6 on the way. Bubbles is an absolute legend. It's bloody funny. Bad man showed up as a friend on the map, he was minding his own on a park bench. He needed some help with some russian gangsters in the area of the city you go early on in the game to deal with faustin's daughter's biker friends. They were in an alley, and in cover behind bins, so we ran around the side of the building to take them in the rear (oo-er). Bad man, like a fucking DICK, couldn't bear to be far from us (as with all folks following) so ran straight through the middle of the firefight. He died in 2 seconds flat. The twat.
  20. So, this "GTA 4" thing then...

    We managed to get Bad Man killed on his first given mission - does he offer anything worthwhile?
  21. Movie/TV recommendations

    Strange, I really loved Green Wing and Spaced, but yet can't deal with Curb, or The Office.
  22. Movie/TV recommendations

    I watched 'Control' last night - a film about Ian Curtis, based on the book written by Debbie Curtis. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421082/ Really, bloody good.
