The one thing I'd really like to know from anyone who's got one - Is it a decent "I need to do some work, so I'll type it up on my iPad" device? I need to get a laptop/macbook/portable thing soon, and iPad looks pro, but if I can't write a dissertation on it, then it's not worth it.

Yeah. They're the top 5 Universities in Britain, but I know that people will only have heard of two of them - much like I only know of Harvard and Yale in the States. What I really want to do is eventually move to America, and be like "I have a degree from Oxford" which would be pro. Anywhere else? Well, it's not the same

That would be the most f'd up game in the world. It needs to be made. Jake! Screw the adventure game stuff. Make a new Looney Tunes game pls.

I actually want to buy this game, based on that post alone. They really need to make a Looney Tunes game. Paint a cave onto a rockface, then run into it and watch your enemies run into the rock xD

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised at how fantastic Matt Smith was in the role. The trailer at the end was particularly awesome. Also, the chick was damned hot, not least for a ginger chick.

I have a name x_x

Yeah, unfortunately, all 493(ish) shitty Pokémon are in there. Well, apart from the, like, 250-ish awesome Pokémon (and the included 151 AMAZING Pokémon). I think that's whats got me so bummed about Soul Silver - I'm like at the second gym, and thanks to the Pokéwalker, I've already got a Kangaskhan. That's not right people, I shouldn't be able to get a lvl 10 Kangaskhan. I don't know why - Silver is still my favourite Pokémon game - but SoulSilver is seriously letting me down.

Wait, WHAT? YOU TURNED DOWN 30 MILL? I'll have it if you don't want it. I only ever seem to get porn spam - ie. "Do you want your penis enlarged?" "Here, we're selling viagra for CH$AP!" x_x

Caps lock ftl, bro. I just read it in a shouty voice and get scared ):

A friend of mine wrote up a preview of the game, and I have to admit; I'm now pretty hyped for this game. I wasn't really following it much, but I Looooved GTA IV, and if this is kinda like that, then I'm sold.

And on the first episode of Weekend Confirmed. Back to a book I'm (attempting) reading; The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. Atm I'm trying to figure out what I want to do/where I want to go with regards to Universities, and I saw Human Sciences at Oxford and it looked pretty pro, so I'm trying to go through their recommended reading list, and then wow them at an interview! Oh, here's a question I'd really like if you Americans could answer. Of the following Universities, which have you heard of? -Oxford -Cambridge -Imperial College -St Andrews -University College London

I am quite surprised at the number of Idle Thumbs UKers. It's awesome! Damn you and your adult-based shenanigans, mind. Being 17 sucks, when all the people you know are 18+ x_x

Damn you adults and your pub-based activities. Just one more year...

Should've done what I did man, and just buy a Lite. 3DS later this year dude!

I'm so glad you put that there Because let's be honest, single men. You kinda hope that the woman on the other end is a slammin' hottie, and local. Can't get much better than that, fellas.

I wish I was... Unfortunately, I've got my own exams to sit, thank you very much. Psychology AS for the win! Well, and Maths, English Language and English Literature.

I like it. A couple of things I felt didn't 'flow' well, mind. He did not smoke or drink or do drugs, and he did not have much to do with either men or women (this not being by choice), but he could be greedy and selfish and maybe swindle when he needed to. It's just such a long sentence man, same as A desk, a laptop, a telephone, two ladder-backed straight chairs, a small coffee machine, some resource books and a couple of forgotten paperbacks he’d borrowed off someone or another added little personality but a lot of blandness, but Bernard didn’t care. Because of the length, it doesn't really read well. I'd suggest to slightly tweak those two, and it's a great little excerpt.

Weelllllll, doesn't just have to be for depression Really it's a method of altering one's cognitive processes, isn't it? So Stress is another well-known cause of someone going to CBT. But yeah, it's a bit out of place

Ehh, well I hate plugging, but I feel I should! I write for an awesome little website called Game Rant. We're pretty new, but a sister site to the quite well-established Screen Rant. That's about it really Check it out! Oh, and in case you want to check out the articles that I personally have written (God knows why you'd want to, but hey, I've been told I can write something decent) then click here. Thanks!

Ok, I bought Soul Silver yesterday, and although I'm not particularly far in (2 hours) - it reaally doesn't feel like Silver. Does anybody else have this... well, problem? It just doesn't feel right.

I agree entirely. When I was watching it on Friday, I was incredibly surprised to see UC2 win over L4D2 in terms of audio.

I have to say; If you haven't played PD before, I think you should be a little cautious. It was/is a great game for the N64 era, but if you've grown accustomed to the whole Call of Duty/Halo style of FPS, and expect PD to be similar, then you're way off. I loved this game back in the day, and when my 360 gets sent back I fully intend on buying it, but I can see why someone who doesn't have the nostalgia trip to rely on may not like the experience.

Once my sodding Xbox gets sent back (although, admittedly, I should probably send it off first...) I will definetely get this game. You were 15 when you last played this, I was... 7? lol - I can just about remember an awesome laptop gun, and one that shot through walls. I loved that game.

"These layoffs totally suuuuck." - IGN.com "We only fire the best." - IGN.com Seriously though, I can't say that I normally feel affected when layoffs happen. I know that last year's 1UP layoffs signalled a complete change in their site structure, as well as the change from "1Up Yours" to "Listen UP", but I completely don't understand what has actually happened over at IGN. The only staff member I know of that has been given the sack is Chris Roper, and personally, I think that's ridiculous. Why lay him off? He's a great podcast host (Beyond is one of the better podcasts on the internet, period), a good writer and it always sounded like he was a hard worker. Why did he get laid off?

Time to buy a new brain for me. I love Sam and Max, I think I'm a pretty clever guy... It just turns out I'm not a particularly clever guy when it comes to Sam and Max! (Or most adventure games, for that matter)
