Great as allways, the start of another ware between the PFY and the BOFH? This could get messy.

Agreed, but flat rate hotspot enabled phones are becoming the norm, can see lots of people cutting the land line just like they did with mobiles. How many have a land line only used for broadband or as part of a package? once mobile data is good enough and can be share cheaply with other devices i can only see it rising, i know im helping push up that ratio my my galaxy note on threes unlimited data plan, the home broad band is only used for gaming and catchup tv atm.
Having worked in primary schools, i couldnt teach the kids without wanting to give half of them a good clip round the ear, thinks that why theres so few of them any more.
(And yes i got a few clips myself from teachers growing up, hurt at the time but dont hold it against them now im older and wiser)
....... And i cant see what all the negetive fuss is about no spoilers, but the combat is engrosing, the story touching in parts and really funny in others but is paced to perfection, the ending thoughtfull and not to over the top.
Will give it a rest for a little the start my renegade play through at a slower pace, well all 3 games can take some time:)
Ive played some sequels in my time as a pc gamer, take any one of the Mass effect games and they are good on their own, taken as a trilogy the whole pushes it past anything in gameing and i am really glad i had to re do my play through from 1-2-3 made everything freash and so much more enjoyable, multiplayer? havent even tried it and was happy with the outcome i got this time.
Even if you dont buy it now promise yourself youll get all 3 at some point in sales etc and enjoy the ride.
"PC version suffers from Origin - I have Steam on it, been told you can't have both."
Utter tosh , i run both no issues at all
me1, straight disc,
me2 steam
me3 origin,
all installed and all work, this is not a prosteam/origin verdict on drm etc etc etc, just saying they work for me.
I have spent the new year gradually re working through my Ariel Shep paragon through me1 and me2, as i lost my saves, completed me2 at 12.10 am last night and unlocked my copy of me3 and carried straight on, it didnt inport my sheps face but I recreated her more or less, and carried on.
Had to call quits at 3am and have been keeping going at work on Nicotine\caffine\sugar and i dare say i will be there at the same time tonight, red bull will be purchased on way home.
I will hold my thoughts on the ending till i get there but that will be a way off now and I too am planning a playboy renegade run through when finished my paragon play through.
Personally im loving having Liara back and when i find what Tali is up to the old ME1 team will be back, Miranda was a poor sub and the shadow broker DLC was too short.
On a side note it just me or has everyone had a boob job since me2?
As one of those LEA support bods who apparently had no idea, i spent most of the 6 years working in primary schools i got at most 1 full day a week to main tain upto 60+ machines 30 laptops and 2-3 servers and printers and often asked these same questions, why dont we do vanilla systems? why are we locked in? why not linux etc etc etc ,many many times. No one was interested.
Duff hardware more so the recent cc3/4 kit, and having to bypass all the god auwfull admin front ends to get anything working.
Co workers had no spark or intrest in IT.
The cuts came and allmost all schools slashed their budgets so when the reductions came i took the money and left.
It wasnt just RM it was LEA BSF and BECTA all had a good slurp of the gravy train and left those trying to help in the school with their hands tied and acting as proxies when things went bad between the management and the schools and getting no support from anyone, glad im out of it and from what i saw in the schools i weep for the future.
It wasnt the lag fest of corronet or the naf missions. It was the community making your own towns and making the world around you, spending an hour sorting out a set of orange padded armour some rebel scum had msgd you about simply because i hannt done it.......... now this? hmm im a big ME fan and am eyeing a full play through once more before 3 comes out, do i wanna sub to that type of game? not with BF3 and Skyrim i dont:P
A combination of sky+HD for the front room and nevrmiss.tv installed in the bedroom covers everything i want to watch hardly ever have to sit through a ad, gave up on the myth tv/mediaportal setups as i moved to an area with bad freeview reception that about covers it for when im not gaming etc there are very few must sit down and watch shows, even then if they are on a comercial channel we will start watching 15-20 after start so we can blat through the comercials and by the end be caught up for the last section of the program.
not only did i go through the NGE and id been there for 2 years, i also was stupid enough to go through the vanguard launch, so SOE is poison to me. havent touched a triple AAA (yeah right) mmo since been trawling the F2P area seem to scratch the mmo itch RoM atm, awaiting SW:TOR but wary of preorder.
for me SG Universe draws from all previous SG incarnations, but giving time for personal development and back story. And not many shows cross between galaxies, which gives the show a true feeling of going into the unknown.
BSG is men in brown flight suits and star buck was the guy from the a team, as soon as i heard that nugget, i vowed never to watch anything related to it, and i havent.
I'm one of those ex R1 listeners, i gave up on it (all the rnb et al) hate most of the rest (crapy emo guitar noise) put R5 on in the car and if i want music i use my mp3/cd player and listen to tunes that can lift my soul, currently going through a early 90' techno /late 80's electro sort of thing (early klf,njoi, beltram etc)
Most music is to recycled and the gems are few and far between for me to bother looking for. If something peaks my aural interests i may have a check on spotify. Sitting there being force fed what some else thinks you should hear? not for me any more, i dare say most radio listener figures are made up of those who use it as audio wall paper, rather than actually listening to it, as most genres have stagnated.

"Wasn't that the plot of the 1980's childrens' film "The Last Starfighter"....?"
well almost but with this they could pipe the live stream from the drone direct to your own computer screen as the AC said at the top, no need to fly across the galaxy and sit in a prototype and be shot at buy the entire opposing fleet , while you wait for them to get in range of your really super duper weapons system, you could just sit in your pants sipping coffee and head shoting the enemy of the day. gives a whole new term to bonus level.
I've often thought about this, how long before they throw a 3d game simulation game of one of these on the web e.g. Americas Army and those who attain a certain score/awards get the opportunity to fly for real? just think about the hordes of reflex trained armchair hero's around the world
LISTER: We're going to die, aren't we? How much food is there?
RIMMER: There's half a bag of soggy Smoky Bacon Crisps, a tin of mustard
powder, a brown lemon, three water biscuits, two bottles of vinegar and
a tube of Bonjella gum ointment.
LISTER: Gum ointment?
RIMMER: Yes, it was in the first-aid box. It's that minty flavour. It's
quite nice.
LISTER: It's quite nice if you smear it on your mouth ulcer, but you
can't sit down and eat it.
RIMMER: You may have to.
LISTER: That's it? There's nothing else?
RIMMER: Just a Pot Noodle. Oh, and I found a tin of dog food in the tool
cupboard.
LISTER: (Sighs.) Well. Pretty obvious what gets eaten last. I can't
stand pot Noodles.
/coat the black bomber jacket and the furry hat:)
I wonder if he will even make it into office, theres gonna be a lot of outraged racist red necks in the States, the same people you usually see with very large high caliber rifles etc did anyone else notice the bullet proof glass at his acceptance speach? Or is this just normall these days? either way i wont be surprised if someone has a go:(
while i can apreciate the usefullnes of your own low ish quality amature pr0n studio available in most handsets these days, with such high storage capacities people never have to delete files (esp jpg's) because by time its full there onto the next model etc, this can lead to this sort of thing, people these days just arnt concerned with digital tidyness, and assume things will just take care of themselves. tho for a friend of a friend his mistake was to plug his mobile to his pc via usb to add some mp3's unknown to him Googles Piccasa happily helped itself to the nice store of snaps on his phone and sorted it out for him, unfortunatly this placed them in amongst his family snaps, and when his mrs found said snaps and realised she wasnt in them but certain parts of him were oooo the hilarity ensued:)
be carefull ;)
/finally i can use Paris!!!
@Tim
If you could get a woden floor gondola and attach a rope ladder to it, you could grow a thin pointy moustache, wear a floppy hat and jump and summersault everywhere to a techno beat!. Tho youd have to use peddle power coz its green.
/i to blame my 2 year old son, but am distictly unhappy about the lack of kids tv jokes in this thread am i the only one with fri-monday off? thursday is the new friday this week.
/coat the one with dummy in one pocket, a fruit shoot in the other and various snot/drool/mud/food/other stains on it.
Saw the writing on the wall allmost as soon as i moved in with the fiancee last year, but disconects and yesterdays login server outage just keep proving just how bad they are. Glad i got her to ask for a MAC Code last week, hopefully we will beat the rush, im off to "be" as there are no limits caps or anything and its adsl2+ LLU conection, now if only i could pick up the house and plonk it closer to the exchange. hmmmm......
