    PlayStation 3

    Even then they've put die hard FF fans I know off the franchise with FF X-2 and FFXII. Would you buy a PS3 just to play FFXIII knowing how bad FF X-2 and how strangely different FF XII were? In the UK people want football games, which they can't get since Microsoft got 12 month rights on Pro Evo and Co, so most people will have to wait till November to get hold of a football game (by which time the new ones will be out anyway).

    Yeah 2nd one is pretty wank, but there's something about the 1st one that's just damn cool. It's one of those kill time movies I'll watch when I can't think of anything else to watch.

    English Football

    Well, once again Newcastle United had the usual Newcastle United season. Alot of panto stuff with no end product, hopefully we don't sack this manager for no reason and we remove the dead weight gutless players that seem content to come to our club, get their wages then go home laughing. The only bright spark in this season was the 95minutes of Michael Owen not getting injured and looking like he actually wanted to score a goal.

    Soccer-Based Comedy Anyone?

    Man I was expecting my team (Newcastle United) to be included in that at least once, thankfully it wasn't anything too bad, just the ref getting hit in the face with the ball. That was a good vid though! The guy in the white kneeling behind people running backwards cracked me up.

    Yeah I guess Bane was a bitch once the tubes were cut, but not to the extent that B&R made him out to be. He goes on a 'find himself' quest after that and he's still way more intelligent then he was made out to be in the films. But yeah, Two Face was pretty much just forgot about and is pretty much a throw in villian to play the role. Hopefully the new Batman film does him justice. Not wanting to turn this into a Batman thread though! -- I'll throw Tron into the mix. I sometimes feel I'm the only person in the world that's seen this film when I make off the cuff references to it.

    PlayStation 3

    PS3 has pretty much hit the UK without much affect, I have the displeasure for working for GAME and we pretty much sell 1 PS3 every week. The general interest in them didn't hit any highs despite our best efforts, people want games to play on their £425 machine, PS3 in the UK has 8 games, 6 of which you can get/will get on the 360. UK consumers are also retards, they believed you could watch HD-DVDs on the PS3, we've had several customers try to return them as faulty cos they didn't play 'HD-DVD'. We then had to explain the whole VHS/BetaMax type of thing to them, which they said was a 'con'. The UK Models were downgraded to the US ones, in that we're not fully backwards compatiable with PS2 games. All in all PS3 isn't flopping, but it isn't doing wonders - it was almost as if Sega had released a new console. It's not doing anything apart from just sitting there. I'm going to hold out till Christmas to judge if Sony have killed themselves with the PS3 - after all March is a bad time to release a console. People are still recovering from Christmas spending, most people still waiting for a Nintendo Wii or bought an Xbox360 instead. Actually, thinking about Christmas coming its going to be PS3 v XboxElite w/ Halo3. -- Game in the UK sell pre-owned PS3's for £379. Sell them brand new for $425 standard, sell them with 2 controllers and a game for £475.

    My hard drive is eating my music.

    My old harddrive did that cos it was messed up and was dotted with bad sectors that sometimes the music files were shifted to, so I'd lose bits of the song and instead get a nasty loud static pop. I bought a new harddrive and everything was fine.

    Heroes

    Ah, guess that makes sense. It was me that fucked up and not the show, I feel ashamed I ever doubted the finest TV show on telly at the moment

    The Gun Control Thread

    Fair enough, I guess it something I can't understand fully being a UK Resident and having never lived in the US. Though, recently the UK Media has decided to report every gun crime in the UK so it seems like we have some kind of gun pandemic going on. I'm not sure if this is the truth or if its just a long standing problem coming to the attention of the masses, but I've personally never been worried about getting shot up where I live in Newcastle.

    Heroes

    Yeah I think they royally fucked up the time travel thing in the last Episode. As has been pointed out Claire shouldn't have been in the future if Sylar had killed and absorbed her powers in the past to become the President.

    If I see Batman & Robin I have to actually go out and strangle a cat to atone for my sins. It took Bane, one of the most sofisticated Villians in Batman lore and turned him into a juiced up idiot - that for me made this film unwatchable. I agree with you about the other Batman films though, as a Batman fan they are a joy to watch, though sometimes wish they had played Two Face up a bit better. And yeah I love the Tremor films, all of them - even the shit ones.

    So why not just go to a shooting range and use the guns they have there?

    Scientists predict next 193 years of Earth History

    Medicine is too advanced now for anything of that magnitude, unless we just wipe out poor people. Actually, it's because medicine is so advanced and freely available now that we could actually be wiped out by a super bug that is immune to everything we have. It's why they're trying to stop the free flow of anti biotics. The recent Bird Flu outbreak that had everyone worried since we didn't have a cure readily available. It makes my penis look bigger

    Heroes

    Heroes keeps on impressing me, even if it is getting a little Marvel on us with its beg, borrowing and stealing of storylines. Not sure if I want this to be a 1 season wonder, or a long drawn out arch that slowly degrades and tarnishes the show over time.

    LOST

    They also said Michelle Rodruguez and Cynthia Watros wouldn't be getting written off in season 2. Those lying scumbags! I can't see it being anything other then at this point though, everything seems to point at that direction. Would like to know what Rose meant when she said she had heard that noise before whenever the monster was around. Hopefully tonights episode is good is my favorite Lostie.

    LOST

    Eh, that finale just sounds so 'meh' though. Especially the whole 'Smokey' explanation, it goes against everything that TBTP have said it wouldn't be (aka ).

    Cannibal: The Musical (AKA Alfred Packer: The Musical) - Mat Stone and Trey Parker's Troma produced 'Z-Movie' film. Lots of blood, guts, singing and snowmen. I adore this film like no other film, yet other people I know just think its shit. Resident Evil - There's something about these films that screams out total shite, but I keep watching them. I'll add my name to that one, it's awesome! From the Stepdad song to Robin Williams shouting 'IT'S A COCK!' while they make rocket cookies. Even the Nazi bit in it cracks me up.

    LOST

    I'm pretty sure they've all been debunked. I hope so Otherwise I'm not sure if I'd bother to watch season 4

    Those Finale spoilers seem crap, hope they're false.

    Shame, this is the first time since Evolution that I've really been interested in Batista.
