Just read that Fassbender, co-star Marion Cotillard and the director all just worked together on Macbeth which has very good reviews so there is a possibility the film will be good. but it doesn't need to be good to be enjoyable, I had fun watching the Prince of Persia though I know it wasn't a good film. Having said that the article I read also said that it has spent a lot of time getting rewrites and having different people attached to it which often isn't a good sign.

I was listening to a podcast that mentioned that, in July, Amazon updated the links you need to use for referrals so was just wondering if you had updated the ones on here and eanyone that has the link saved would need to update their bookmark.

That#s what makes me think it's something weird to do with my add-ons
-
yeah, but 3.30 minutes? that's just not going to make me want to buy something and would in fact stop me even watching most videos it's attached to. and it;s all the freking time, well over half the videos I watch, seems random too, not just attached to one channel, for example.

omg, what the heck is with 3 minute long unskippable youtube ads on some videos? Is anyone else getting them or is it something to do with my combo of adblockers

Classic FM did a 2 hour video game requests special, starting with Zelda (a medieval puzzle solving adventure, apparently) . Not had a chance to listen to it all yet, but you can play it here. -
I think of the way you say low thousands is not really the correct mathematical way to say it, as you're not splitting up the units correctly (I assume you'd write 1,600 as we do, not 16,00) but does sound nicer spoken, but it makes me wonder how would you pronounce 5 digit and bigger numbers in the USA? e.g. 16,000 has got to sound better (and less confusing) as "sixteen thousand" than "one hundred sixty hundred". Where is the change? Does it make a difference if the number is not a nice round number, and so loses the appealing simplicity. E.g. "ninety five hundred twenty five" stops sounding simpler than "nine thousand, five hundred and twenty five" and starts to need thinking about (at least for me) I've never heard anyone use picadilly for counting seconds, maybe that's a london thing? I'd use elephant. I was confused about the house numbering too, not that I check on every road I've been down, but whenever I have, the houses have gone up sequentially odd one side, even the other, so If you were looking for house 21 and you just got to 20, you could cross the road and be in the correct place. The only time I could imagine that being different is in a cul de sac were I think they would go round in order starting on the left.

why would lots of the attackers show up as reputable companies, e.g. google, novell?

It's not for everyone, but if you like AC:NL, you love it. Have you played any of the other Layton games, kenshi. They're all good, but the second to last one is a weird place to start. Sorry, I missed this when you posted it. If it was mine, it would be in good condition, and that is what I'd do, as I can never be bothered with the hassle of selling stuff but he needs the money as much as any charity does.. Not that keen on cleaning someone else's gunk, which is why I was just going to give him my own money. Kind of annoying really though as he only palmed it off on me as he didn't have room for it and I've never even so much as turned it on. It's always weird what games end up being worth money, but one of those I checked on CEX they literally buy for 1p.

It's mad they still want to sell of more council housing - that's what they should be building more of . I'm sure that's at least in part responsible for ridiculous prices. Controlled costs for government not paying private landlords, which means less rented housing which would lower prices at the bottom of the market to make it easier for young/low income people to get on the ladder. And with more people being able to afford to buy it may help reduce the cost of rent for people that can't.

GOPTeens is a parody account, but this is still pretty funny.

I could.

How much could I expect to get for my brother's ps2, which looks pretty gross condition plus:- Half Life LEGO Star Wars Championship manager FIFA 06 and Fifa 09 Resident evil 4 Street fighter alpha anthology If it's not too much, probably just bin it and give him my money.

Wait until you can play it with sound

I can't do it on my ipad without jailbreak it

Michel Ancel has designed a level for Mario Maker. Rather handily, the video is in French with no subtitles, so I've no idea if the level is included in the game or not, but Makes it sound like there will be other "guest levels". It would be cool if they have a special section for special levels, e.g tied to new game releases, famous developers etc.

anyone know what this song is please? I'm guessing you'd need to be a fan of Japanese girl groups? -
When you upgrade it asks you to accept the defaults one of which is edge but does give you the option to change it. I believe when you do a clean install it still does the browser choice thing but that was just something I read on a forum so not definite. How does Apple get away with it on iOS where you literally cannot change your default apps or even swap out the apps on the bottom bar to make your favs easier to access?

Any nintendo users in the EU, if you log in to your club nintendo account on their website it will ask you to link your NNID (they are semi connected already, so don't think, "I already did that") it will give you 750 stars. That's a decent chunk more than you get from games, which don't have stars any more so this may be your last chance to get enough stars to make a purchase from the catalogue.

I struggle to get excited by the bundles nowadays. Not sure if it's the combo of games most of which i haven't even heard of or frequency they put them out.

Did you beat the average, Dean?

For all the people that complain about the release rate of virtual console games I just read this on facebook: so... you may be right, lol.

Love actually is the worst film ever made. All richard Curtis's films have the same immersion breaking style - the acting is super hammy and unnatural and the scripts are not at all how anyone would ever talk. Everything about the plots is all very contrived. They all just seems like a bad student play and Love actually is the acme of this.
