pretty awesome video too.

yeah but you can run over so many more people on the way there so the time just flies by.

thanks for explaining the point of investing to me :/ but it's still all based on one product. I'm not saying that it won't be successful for a few more years to come or indeed that it won't become bigger than Disney I'm just saying that it is not much of a track record to arrive at that value. Angry birds has certainly caught the zeitgeist of the whole app/casual gamer thing but there is nothing to say their next game will have the same appeal indeed history is littered with one hit wonder companies. I don't want them to do badly, I'm not saying they won't be worth that much when they float, what I'm saying is until they've proved they can repeat that success with another brand it is a really hot valuation.

it just smacks of the dot com bubble to me. I know it actually has revenue so is better in that sense, but think of all the established companies with proven track records and more clear long term plans, not just "we'll make another game". Certainly not something I'd invest in.

I'm thinking of getting a WP7 phone. Would you recommend the OS? It seems cool, I'm just trying to find one you can add extra memory into. 8gb doesn't seem enough to me and the 16gb are such a jump in price it kinda annoys me to the point I wouldn't want to get one.

That adam buxton episode of never mind the buzzcocks was awesome. I just watched an older one with Frankie Boyle too which was toe-curlingly hilarious. Dale Winton was another great host. I think it's just Phil Jupitus that spoils the show.

you bought three copies?

This explains everything you need to know about Ganon's reappearance.

Is that because she liked Diana and not how the Royals treated her or because Diana was a massive bitch? The succession laws will come in to effect immediately but will not be relevant unless the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have a baby girl as their first child, who before this week wouldn't have been queen if they later produced a son. I hadn't read about the Catholic thing but I do think that is quite a big deal. The head of the Church of England married to a Catholic? It brings up all sorts of questions - any child they had could be raised Catholic and then become the head of the CofE that's a bit mind boggling.

I'm surprised it was in the cinema. I really wish I hadn't deleted it now even though you're saying it wasn't good. I think it was very long though wasn't it? I'm fairly sure that's why I ended up not giving it a go.

by catfish do you mean Or are you talking about something completely different?

Does anyone here do trick or treat properly? Apparently when you say trick or treat and the householder says treat your supposed to give them a treat (e.g. sing a song or do a little horror routine) and then they reward you with the sweets? Round here people just say trick or treat and you give them some sweets.

Ugh, I could barely sit through Love Actually and I love romcoms. I was much too conscious that they were acting which stopped me enjoying it and was actually a bit cringe-inducing. If you want to see Alan Rickman as a good guy I would highly recommend Sense and Sensibility. It is a really great film, though I guess not everyone loves period dramas (I can't get enough of them).

Really quiet for some reason. HH made me want to listen to my favourite snow patrol track. I went through a phase of listening to it on loop. so cool... still love it though.

Is yours that cool colour? I have a black Lamy pen. Do you have thomas the tank engine in the USA? It's pretty popular over here

I would say the reason we don't have garbage disposal in this country is because we tend to minimum spec everything, whereas in the USA (at least the impression I get) is that everything is as big as possible with as much added in as possible. That's why our houses won't have conservatories, air conditioning, tiled floors etc. as standard.

Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Max don't use sugar as they are zero calorie drinks so it would be different sweeteners that account for the difference. Most of our regular fizzy pops use sugar rather than fructose syrup though as they do in the USA. Most girls are skanks that don't know how to dress appropriately for their size. Going from the Ricki Lake show, this is a problem in the US too though. Short shorts and opaque tights (not stockings - stocking over here are the ones that use suspenders) are very popular at the moment. Kids these days really aren't keeping their kidneys warm any more. imperial/metric is just a complete mess. Imperial isn't taught any more but is still used officially in road signs/speeds. I use a mix of both (e.g. wouldn't know if someone was tall/short or thin/fat in metric), but a lot of people even my age will use just imperial. I wish they would just make a clean break. It never occurred to me that proper butter would be different! I personally like slightly salted butter which is about 1.5% salt particularly lurpak. mmm.

While I can appreciate all the improvements and am personally excited by what will be possible (acorns growing into oak trees in Fable finally!) I think it will be a hard sell to the great unwashed. Most people don't care if their character's hair is intelligently moving to the character's movement and the in-game wind or if it is programmed/animated to look like it is moving in that way. Imagine on stage at E3 the tech guy has to explain, "look at this NPC, instead of us telling him to walk along the street and sit at the café table he's decided to do it himself." All the public see is a character who looks the same as this gen do something that looks the same as this gen. They are not going to be ripping out their wallets and spunking $400 on gamestop's counter. edit because of comments made while I was typing the rest up. The smoother framerate and improved general performance fall into the same caategory as I was describing about AI - that is to say it's not something that makes a great 'soundbite' Games might splutter along now when you play them but this is not the case when they're shown off at events so it is not something that will sell new hardware. I also don't really believe things like this bother most gamers. Remember most gamers pick up call of duty, FIFA, and Dance Central and that's them set all these technical problems games have and are picked over on the net are just not picked up on at all by most gamers.

Maybe you could have a new thread 'member profiles' or something and we could all just be allowed one post each and no chat posts were we can put our photo and bit of info like location and age. This one could be the fun one and the other could be the info one. Mods could delete and posts of people who've left or not posted in the previous month or chatty ones. Of course I guess we could all use photos for our profile picture and then stick with whatever picture for the forum avatar.

so the earphones committed suicide? Interesting, maybe as they evolve they will learn they can strangle their host with their cords and live on themselves.

what on earth do you do to your earphones that they only last 2-3 months?
