tl;dr: You went somewhere we didn't intend for you to be. Thanks for finding this flaw in our game, we're now banning you. Now correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't WoW have a system in place where some of the higher level areas are not locked out by pansy "this area isn't meant for you" notifications, but actual in-game locks (either lvl based quests, or places that require flying animals, etc) that require being a certain level to get access too? Make like a level 49 quest that gets you in good standing with some Illum pilots n voila only lvl 49+ players can get there.

So rather than waiting the extra 2hrs n being totally sloshed thought I'd knock this up now (was meant to write it up before hand) So firstly, an ahead of time HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ENGLAND! Then secondly; you guys are awesome. Stay that way. Forum may be small, but quality before quantity. There may be disagreements of opinion time to time, but that's what it's all about. Been a pretty cool year. Done the jump to be all "Press X or Die" ish, which is kinda awesome. Just wrapped up with the secret santa which was a great idea from P4, I think everyone who took part has enjoyed it. Hopefully more fun stuff in the coming year (and then we all die. Woot! Fucking Mayans) Special thanks for those writing for PXOD, wouldn't really be anywhere without you guys. A special shout out for P4 n Cyber now writing for Delta Gamer. A big thanks to Hot Heart and his red highlighter. I dont no were wed bee without you. Hopefully next year will be even bigger and better than this year for PXOD. So yeah, 2012. Auld Lang Syne n all that lot. Hope everyone has a guddun.

Only came out like 2 weeks before. I've a feeling their figures were done ahead of time.

Sherlock is amazing show. I'll agree with Johnny that Jekyll is nothing amazing, but it was the essentially the "pilot" of Sherlock, in so far as showing Moffats skills at adapting older Victorian era literature for 21sty century. Reason Matt Smith ended up as the 11th Doctor was cos he auditions for the part of Watson, Moffat felt he was too wacko, but awesome for the Doctor and here we are. As mentioned in the Hobbit thread Watson is Bilbo and due to that Sherlock is Smuag. So if you're looking forward to The Hobbit it's a preview of the chemistry you'll see in Pt 2.

Tell me how that is, I played the demo and it seemed alright but it sent vibes that all the levels were like the demo.

(This one is still uploading, so may not be active atm)

They're also English-series-short too. So Jekyll is 6 episodes long and Sherlock is currently at 3 (4 tomorrow)

If you like Moffats style check out and Sherlock (of which series 2 starts tomorrow) I think that the major changes are what makes it difficult to compare the two. Eccleston n Tennant had the same companion, TARDIS, writers, bad guys, etc. So it was fairly easy.

In a roundabout way I have Space Chem and Universe Sandbox.

So I just found out a minor feature of WinAmp so...Boom

Thomas the Tank Engine is narrated by Ringo Starr. About as British as they come. (though the newer CGI remake, of which Fireman Sam has also had, is Canadian made) btw we ended up watching some Postman Pat yesterday to amuse the wee ones and dad n stepmum were trying to work out if it was a new episode or not. Turns out you can tell cos he's not got "Royal Mail" on his van anymore. They felt he didn't "suit their corporate image". No wonder their profits have fallen every year

I've never really bothered with them. We had them on our PCs in college, but they rarely got used for much. You'll maybe want some TIM cleaner too if you're using your own since CPUs come with like a pad of TIM on them already. Oh and a static wrist strap are always cheap and a great peace of mind. I've got like 3, but if you've not built a PC for 10 years I've a feeling you won't have any about. And the Core i5 you've got comes with the onboard graphics, not the Mobo these days. As long as you're not wanting to instantly play super high powered 3D games then it should actually do you okay for basic gaming. Also make sure you have cables. Some HDDs come with SATA cables, some don't.

We were channel hopping and ended up watching King Ralph. It's not bad, mainly helped by the rather sterling cast (O'Toole, Goodman, Hurt, it's hard to cock up). It's meant to be a comedy but it doesn't have many laugh out loud moments. Oh cos I've not seen it for aaaggges when "Flamingo" shows up I'm "That's Jackie!" (Roses mum in Doctor Who.) The King from...Zimbabwe(I think it was actually a made up country iirc) is now a shop owner on Eastenders. I did however remember, and pre-emptively flinch, the part where he slices the guys ear while Knighting him.

That'd be because you post the letter Shaner Yes we have post, The Post Office, and....Royal Mail.

Atom Zombie Smasher, first game I've booted up due to a Treasure Hunt. It's not half bad, though I feel it's weighted towards the zombies.
