MarioKart Wii
I got this game yeah. Played it all saturday, which was great. Though the (I'm not sure what it's called) "drifting"? (when you slide when you turn) was very difficult to do here, at least with the wiimote. Onlineplay with 2 players was also a lot of fun, I liked how it found players on that map at least ^^

The Official Exam Thread
That song was the awesome intro they played today ^^ The rest of the concert was great as well, allthough I generally like their quieter parts the best, and the concert mostly contained their more noisy tracks. But all in all it was great. 7 hours to exam time, better get some sleep. Oh, and thank you ^^

One of the best is the Burnout Paradise one. I have never tried any of the burnout games, but love that review.

Can you play Region 1 DVDs in the UK?
On a dvd player? or on your computer? If you are using a dvd player, you need to either give it in to a store that does this for you, or you can try to search the internet. Some players are easier to make region free than others. If you are doing it on your computer I'm not quite sure, I know that you can change the region setting in for example Windows Media player a set number of times. A question wheter you want to change the region should pop up when you insert the region 1 dvd, but I'm sure there are some programs that lets you play region 1 dvd all the time.

Show us your art!
Wow. Jpw48, I just gotta say that you have done a really good job with that assignment. Very creative approach to the task. Since you asked for some help, I'll do my best to give you my oppinion. Seeing as the theme is clouds, some of the photos really show this better than the others. You have picture 1, 10 and 11 which has sharp and clear clouds, while 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12 and 14 show interesting clouds which are out of focus in the background. Lastly you have 3, 9 and 13 which doesn't really have that interesting clouds in the background. Seeing as the theme is clouds I think that they two first groups of photos fit the task the best. When it comes to the combination of plants and sky I first of all have to say that I really like the result you have made here. The way the light shines through the plants is not something most people normally see, and having a collection of these photos like you have made here is beautiful. The photos that immediatly stand out to me are 1, 4, 6, 7, 10 and 12. I guess what really makes these more special is the composition of the photos. 1, 4 and 7 have the plants coming in from the bottom right which really works well. While 6, 10 and 12 are different and not something I've seen before. I'm not sure exactly what I could recommend you to do to improve this. I think it is important that the sky is a big part of the photo, you should definetly try to take more where the clouds are sharp and in focus. The ones you took in this way really works well. Other than that I would like to see more special shapes like the multiple shapes from the plant in picture 7. Also I think it would be cool if the plants in picture 10 were pointing up to a special cloud or something, but I can see that that can be a problem. Oh, and the colours and contrasts in picture 1 was amazing. Anyway, good luck with this. I really would like to see more pictures that you do for the final hand in.

How do people have so many posts?
Either you constantly stick around in all the forum games threads, or you find someone to either chat/argue with. If you do this for a huge amount of time every day your post count will rapidly increase. For that extra "wow, check out his post count" factor you simply do both forum games and chatting at the same time.

I just wanted to share this with you guys, seeing as it is something I look forward to every week. Anyway, this guy reviews one video game every week, and posts his reviews every wednesday. The special thing about it is the way he presents his thoughts, and I won't even begin to explain what it is like. I'll just recommend you all to go check it out, I'm sure you will have a laugh. If you see a game you have played yourself, then check that out first, but games you have never even heard of are fun to watch as well. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation

GTA IV
Haha. That can sound so very wrong. I don't own a next gen console, which is a problem. I would love to play this game. Was the Pc version for GTA3 later than the playstation version?
