Yes I spotetd that in your other post. Pretty neat stuff.

Interfaces are the lost art of programming sadly.

Too many people think they know what they're doing, and in my experience almost none actually do.


In fact interface design should generally be kept away from programmers altogether and left to the psychologists and artists to work out, and let the coders implement them.

Gah, my X-box hard drive died last week. Instead of paying Microsoft to repair it I'm toying with the idea of forking out for a 360.

What puts me off though, is the limited number of games from the original xbox that can be played on the 360. I thought that this would be a given for all games. Not that I need a massive amount of encouragement.


Edit: Rolo Tomasi, I've sent you a PM about the event you have mentioned.

Yeah, it's pretty comprehensive these days. Go on horsebox, you know it makes sense..join the clan!!

I've just noticed Ninja Gaiden is on there. Right, I'm finally going to finish that!!!

I once "met" this couple on WoW who played together (quiet at the back) and teamed up with them a couple of times.

They'd met on WoW, but both lived in manchester and were seeing each other in RL.

The frightening thing was both were divorced and both had met their previous spouses on other online games. The girl on Counterstrike and the lad on Diablo.

I didn't hold out much hope for them.

found this on the THIRD page - shocking...


Anyway, SMG seems to be getting the love that was anticipated - however without a Wii (and unlikely to get one this year) I'll not get the chance to play it - anyone else had a go yet?


I've reached the final level on Halo3 (on Heroic) and am waiting for the right moment to finish the whole thing - I'm firmly in the Halo 1 was fantastic, Halo 2 was bobbins camp and was expecting only marginal improvements in Halo 3 but if anything it has surpassed 1 for me....

Agreed. Single player campaign has been a lot of fun and am about to approach legendary; well I already have and got my arse whupped. Am getting my mate Rich (you met him at Rhythms of the world) involved in some co-op if you fancy it.

Mind you, I can never get past puzzle quest these days ... grrrrrr.

I keep forgetting you can do 4 player co-op... another feather in it's cap


Definitely up for that but will need to book the time...


I will try on Legendary as well but I'm not sure I have the patience to deal with that many snipers - will be good to play against the covenant again after so much of The Flood

From Gamespot interview with developers

"GS: How are you balancing the four-player gameplay? Will the difficulty scale increase with the number of players in a co-op game?


FO: We've actually included a whole layer of ways to make co-op more challenging. But the first and most important step for players is to forget that easy and normal even exist. If you have any chutzpa at all, you might as well forget heroic while you're at it. Real men (and ladies) play co-op on legendary."

So not only is Rock Band released (not just guitars - oh no. Now you and some friends can play drums, guitar and sing all at the same time) but they have released a Bowie pack


Only thing is, classic track Queen Bitch is now called Queen *****


I mean I ask you...... if you are worried about it, pick another song but... sheesh

    • Hey are these two keys with no keyring? I lost them a while back so not sure if they will be the same!
    • Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian! 
    • For many years I went to Ken's on NXR.  He was pretty much the only barber  in ED  Now we have more barbers than you could shake a stick at - all the way down from the Plough through to DKH and some are empty of customers - even on the evenings and weekends.  I never ceased to be amazed that they continued to operate despite not having clients and realised that they were probably into money-laundering - just like the sweet shops along Oxford street. I went once to one on LL and certainly wasn't impressed with their. My dear wife has cut my hair ever since. I don't believe in supporting criminals.

    • People are more likely to go back and retrace their route rather than look on the EDF.  If you’re reluctant to and them on a fence or something, perhaps you could put a note with your phone number there
