From ‘Sing For The Moment’ by Eminem:

They say music can alter moods and talk to you
But can it load a gun for you and cock it too?
Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude
Just tell the judge it was my fault, and I’ll get sued

Different subject, granted, but the same principles.

I hate this time of year, I’m one of those who generally always feels the cold so in this weather I’m always alternating between being too cold & too warm. There’s never a happy medium.

My neighbour’s new lodger playing music loud enough so everyone can hear. That’s not the problem though, I like loud music but at least I’m listening to a bit of Green Day or Nirvana and not that ‘Thump-thump-thump-thump-thump nothing else to it except that endless feckin repetition’ shyte.

Not exactly – but having a sixth sense for certain things does run in the family on my mum’s side.

Why do greedy people think they are so hard done by, and have to have more than the next person

Because they’re greedy? Clue’s in the question steve.

Why? This is a thread about violent video games (I know that for a fact cos I started it) GTA is considered a violent video game so by talking about the GTA games, I’m keeping this on topic which doesn’t happen very often (as you’ve so kindly proved) I don’t see what the problem is.

After the football, which I’m lucky to be seeing at all.

And Giant Haystacks was one scary big man! Threatened to climb over the railings and batter all us ‘wee scottish bastards’ when the British wrestling came here years ago.

But then, we always did play wrestle and sometimes people got hurt – we made that choice knowing all the warnings that went out. I have it on good authority from my days at…[Read more]

(in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, a man encounters a prostitute, has sex and then beats her to death to get his money back).

They forgot to say that the player can also choose not to do that should they wish. As for the rest, is it any worse than the majority of what you can see on TV or on a DVD?

Games, like films, aren’t real life. Might as…[Read more]

The Blink 182 version:

‘Boom! Shake the room’ was about 93/94 so I was right about that one. ‘Summertime’ was about 91ish so you’re right about that one. I only thought it was later than that because I was only about nine then and didn’t care much for music so can’t think why I seem to remember hearing it (and watching the video somewhere)

I think I was only young when it came out, I’m not sure of the year..was it late 80’s or early 90’s?

Btw anybody got a clue whether you can download music videos of YouTube?

Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince had a few songs in early to mid 90’s if I remember rightly. I remember that one ‘Boom! Shake The Room’ or something similar and…[Read more]

The best Ash song ever – perfect for relaxing on a sunny day (unless you’re like me and resent summer/sunshine and its very existence) Goldfinger:

Closely followed by Girl From Mars, Shining Light, Wildsurf & Oh Yeah to make my top five :D

The PS3 is also a Blu Ray DVD player, but you need an HD outlet on your TV to watch them. Though you don’t need it for the graphics, I don’t have an HDTV or connection but the graphics are brilliant without!

Having HD probably would enhance it (might look into that soon but this digital switchover is complicating it a bit, might wait for that to…[Read more]

Getaway is due out on PS3 later this year so I’m looking forward to that :D Never really got into it much on PS2, it was a bit too samey, but from what I’ve heard this one’s going to be something else entirely.

Godfather II is also set for this year as well. Godfather was fantastic on PS2 and even better on PS3 so that’s another I’m keeping an…[Read more]

I pre ordered mine back in January, got the special edition on PS3 for £58 and it was delivered on release day. F***IN LOVE IT!! Agree about San Andreas to an extent, thought it was far too big with actually not enough to do outwith missions. If it had that then it would have been even better. Vice City was great, loved the soundtrack :D

Don’t…[Read more]

Each to their own – that’s what makes us all different.

You could easily lose a week on GTA, best one so far!! San Andreas was going to take some beating but it seems poor in comparison. This is going to be a good year for the PS3.

All my mates at school were into Tomb Raider but I could never really get the hang of it so I never got into it.

It’s not so much that I don’t enjoy it, I’d just rather be at work than in the pub.
