Question: Which of the brain trainy games do you think is the best? Brain training annoys me so much because it adds vast chunks to your time for getting an answer wrong because the game didn't recognise the number you drew, however I appreciate the Sudoku puzzles and the musical challenge in more brain training. I've been enjoying Big Brain Academy much more since we got it, as the games are more inventive and more fun, and getting one wrong doesn't obliterate your score, it just takes time out of your minute for each challenge. I've been having so much fun with it in the two days I've had it that I've already beaten the professors brain score (I think I got 1709g?). Just wondering which one of the two everyone prefers or if its just me.

As long as we have a battlefield and an FD, he can do as many moving stages as he likes because everyones happy.

Its rare to come across someone genuinely funny on the internet, especially in the context of video-games. This guy is brilliant, thanks for show .

I tried to make a freezepop song for pixie, too bad I suck at electro.

This sucks, Larry offered me the T-shirt first and now everyones moving in on my treasure, damn ye all.

Ok whatever I'm making plenty of money now, bring it on. Anyone know what the policy on bringing guitars on planes is?

Oh sorry, we get so many spambots its hard to notice when theres a genuine sign-up sometimes, should be able to log in now.

So I've been playing around with it for a while now, and we got a new game called skate, which is SO awesome. You realise just how stupid and unrealistic the Tony Hawks games were within 10 minutes of turning it on. I love recording the videos and slowing them down when you do a cool line, and some of the online videos are hilarious. I'm also appreciating several other features such as the free Internet acces, how it doubles as a very low-cost blu-ray player, the way you can download demos of games directly into the console to try them out and the motion sensing is pretty good, if a little sensative. One very bad note: it makes the FF12 cutscenes look like utter crap. Overall, my attitude has changed from dissapointed to midly impressed. Just waiting on some more really awesome games.

I use Foobar because it has nice tabbed playlists and easy wav/mp3 conversion and a generally simple interaface. I have winamp also for use with chiptunes. If Foobar played chiptunes I wouldn't need it at all.

This is without a doubt THE definitive Jenova Trance ReMix. It cannot be done any better, well done man .

Man I love pendulum, they make fun music regardless of whatever criticism they get.

Hey djp, may i suggest this site be added to the chiptune links? Its got more soundtracks then Zophar, with some rarer titles present. I know some of them are preliminary, but partial coverage is better then none. http://www.hcs64.com/usf/

'and' implies that you have to meet all 3 requirements to be evaluated better then 'or' does imo.

This is a pretty significant occurance depending on how its recieved. If ppls like us then maybe other companies will start approaching us too, which would be awesome. Looks like we're getting some industry recognition.

Awesome, but OCRemixers get auto-accept anyway, just sign up to the forums.

I think its 45" HD, and the difference is huge imo. GT4 looks and feels like a car, whereas RR7 cars looks like boxes, and they way they move is so unnatural. Theres no attention to shadows or reflections in RR7 and the scenery seemed very uninspired. While RR maybe have higher resolutiobns etc, I think the art direction really lets it down. Its relying on the ps3 imo. I know the movement comment is moot because GT is a simulator whereas RR is a drifter, but honestly, I was expecting far more. Seeing how expensive the console was and how much better the technology supposedly is, I shouldn't be looking at a ps3 game and thinking a ps2 game comes anywhere near as good as it.

Okay so my bro just got a ps3, and so far, I am incredibly underwhelmed. This is mostly due to the fact hes got two shite games for it. Ridge Racer 7 is an embaressment. It has graphics WORSE then GT4 for ps2, and possibly the most boring game play I've ever seen. I've never played a drift racing driving game before, but I'm fairly sure I should suck ass at it considering how complicated drifting is. I actually TRIED to corner badly, and the game just wouldn't let me do badly. You had to forcibly do something stupid to fail at that game, which is bollocks. I know its not representative of the newer games cause its almost a year old, but this game won best racing game of 2006? ....WHY!? I could have forgiven the gameplay if the graphics were incredible, but man... they shouldn't have wasted their time making it for ps3 when ps2 would have done the job. The other game it came with was a motocross game I didn't care enough for to even look at the game case, mainly because it was one player only unless you go online. I only expect that sort of multiplayer ability from MMORPGS. If the ps3 has 7 wireless controllers possible, why didn't they use them? That said, I'm almost positive I will warm up to it over time, especially when the biggies come out, like FFXIII or MGS4. I'm also desperately looking forward to the next TEAM ICO release. Also if that FF7 remake ever happens then hyes, but meh if it doesn't. On the one hand its the most financially safe investment ever, because theres more then enough fanboys/girls that will buy it; On the other hand they might totally change it and destroy it, we'll see. One last bitch; you can't take your PS/PS2 saves with you unless you buy an adapter? Weak.

...That actually makes sense. I didn't notice that.

Don't even joke about that. The world will asplode if that happens. Its like dividing by 0.

Easiest boss: Diddy Kong Racing, the Walrus. Literally, hold A and don't turn. You will still win the first race.

You could always start judging us as people instead.

I'm totally up for some metal. It's puts hair on your chest.

Metal Gear Solid is probably the most perfect example of how difficult a game should be imo. It can be very hard if you want it to be, but also cruisable if you're a nub nub doing easy mode. Final Fantasy XII is an example of a game thats too hard in that respect. People new to FFs will not understand most of the system and end up having to grind. Also those secret weapons are freaking ridiculous. No one would ever figure out how to get the tournesol without a guide, and the zodiac spear is still a longshot. A game should be 100% completable WITHOUT needing an FAQ, and that should be rule number 1 for games, I was extremely dissapointed by Square-Enix for that element of FFXII, because the rest of it is awesome. And I agree that the newer Sonic games are too easy. That Sonic game where you had 3 dudes run in a line, I swear it was impossible to loose that game. There should be more games to challenge us, but not to totally piss us off by MAKING you buy the damn game guide/look at FAQs.

Btw, because this kinda affects if I'm allowed to go. Whats the deal with costs once I get there? How much do I have to chip in for roomz etc. Probably need moneys for foods and buying games and stuff aswell.

Addictive drums makes me happy. More importantly my wundaful Ibanez RG1570 and all my other guitars.
