Because play-asia dropped the price so it came under the tax limit.

Microsoft overall have far more money...
Of course, I was just referring to the immediate profit made by Nintendo on the Wii, large amounts of which have gone straight back into R&D. Although it'll most certainly be interesting to see where Microsoft go under this new leadership.
Well, if Microsoft want to release an 'epic' game. (That is one of epic proportions) Then it's going to take a fair bit of time to make all the resources for it. Not forgetting that they only need a rough idea of the final system design to start developing a game, and if by starting a game this early in the pre-lifecycle then they can spend the traditional time 'developing' the game optimising it for the platform, then they could have a killer game at the start of the consoles life-cycle. Which could significantly shape the next generation of consoles.

Who knows what's going to happen?

Re: New Nikon Cameras (5 years ago)
*cough*
Canon.

The eos40D is out soon.
Keeping it would pose a large problem as it could be the profit of crime and they now know where you live, it could also be counterfeit and making use of it would be illegal. However, simply with that amount of money it falls under all heaps of Money Laundering legislation- so you can forget about putting it straight into the bank. If it's returned by the police then the money will have been verified and then it'll be a lot easier to actually use to say: buy a car etc.
Well, if you ever return to England and earn more than £15,000 p/a then you'll have to pay it off. The longer it's left then the more debt accumulates for if you're ever in the situation where you have to pay it off.

I should be falling in love with this sequel sometime soon. As someone who vehemently hates EBA on the basis of the soundtrack, I've not had any Ouendan freshness for a while. Can't wait. icon_smile.gif
Very should.
'Tis awesome. icon_biggrin.gif
Re: Easy Mode Volume 2.3 (5 years ago)
Easy mode rocks.

This thing's pretty slow for me.
I agree with GTPod though, any chance of being able to only hide your own mouse?
Re: PALGN Podcast? (6 years ago)
Also bear in mind that you should pick the machine with the highest specs and best internet connection to do the recording. There's also a noticeable drop in quality in a conference call when using wireless.
The podcast I'm in was recorded Trans-atlantic through skype with decent microphones and sounded ok, but there is occasionally very noticable lag.
Happy fifth.

#palgn should be bought back
This gave me the urge to post a one worder "Good."
But instead let me congratulate on some well thought out and sensible rules.

I remember a story of when my school still did trips to the local sewerage treatment plant; where after filtering and settling the solids, they ran the water through a bacteria + rocks thing.

Depending on who was showing you around the person either swam in it or dipped a glass in and took a drink.

P.S. A brita filter may be less of a sumpreme waste of energy than reboiling everything. That would not do much good apart from prehaps kill Bacteria (should already be dead) and remove temporary hardness.
Re: Gaming and Macs! (6 years ago)
Unless your rig is intel, then mac gaming is sort of like making a roast dinner with a toaster.
(That includes the yorkshire puddings.)

Yep, the 60 pages of threads on a specific console were getting very difficult to follow, with half of them being related to specific games.

Also there will be plenty of PC and Sony topics, and PC isn't simply related to games, it can be hardware or desktop set up icon_wink.gif
yeah most people have computer troubles so i can see that thread bumping with free advice!!
Sounds a lot like Computer Talk.

Hey!
Actually that day had much sunshine, and that wasn't a beach. More a shingly area of coastline. I would like to say that this a beach in Autumn icon_razz.gif

P.S. At least you can walk barefoot on an English beet without getting 3rd degree burns on your feet. icon_wink.gif
Oh alex, you're not actually trying to defend English beaches are you? C'mon mate, they're cack. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it. I have to dodge the used syringes whenever I go home and walk on Blackpool beach.

Aussies get the good beaches, we beat them at cricket. Thems the rules. icon_razz.gif
Chris, what do you think you'll get when you go so far up North? icon_razz.gif
I like walking along the beach, prefrably in winter. They are cool when other people are not there.

It has a usb port, it might work with a keyboard. But you'll need some sort of text entry without one.
Most of the appalling text messages are not used with predictive text.
This text prediction sounds usefull if implemented well.

DSLR is best.
Not being funny, but DSLR cameras aren't exactly point-and-shoot and trade shows can be unforgiving to the stray photographer messing around with stands and zoom lenses in a crowd of people.

Besides, most of us have to buy these cameras with our own money.
Yes, that's why I didn't say you all need to go out and get DSLRs. But I'm of the opinion to over shoot and then cut back 50%+ of the photos (unless you got really lucky). And by decent I mean anything you can take good pictures with, although it looks like most of the fuzzyness was caused by the imagewhatsit compression algorythms. (Yuck.)
Nice work on the coverage but:

P.S. Excitetruck looks elite.

A plain and simple photograph with some desaturation.
Now linking to my photos instead of my blog. (WWW still goes there)
It will happen because no-one in Europe cares about market price parity.

Sure we'll pay an extra £60 for the, um shipping?
The closest one to me is post-launch. And that's 200 miles away.

Happy times.

I'm just going to read all the reviews for it once US launched and make up my mind from them.
