    Internet Game Site Ripping Me Off...possible

    OK point your browsers to http://www.gamer.uk.com/. Looks pretty legit doesnt it? Imagine my excitement when I ordered a gamecube for £130 with Pikimin coming as a free bonus (the sales over now). Its been 2 weeks and I've heard absolutely NOTHING from the site. Try phoning their support and the...

    Urgent Gamecube Related Help Needed

    I have the opportunity to purchase the console with an Joytech RGB Scart Cable Gold at a good price. My TV's got all the necessary connections but I really need someone to tell me if I should spend a bit more and get an official nintendo one. Or is the one that comes with the box satisfactory?

    My Short Story

    Well I'm gonna copy what Ketil (hear he got banned lol) did and present my own intermatly longish story, with many words. for criticism. I'm open to all comments but I really won't care as its my GCSE coursework and I got FULL MARKS. THATS RIGHT 50 OUT OF 50, 100%, 'A BEATIFULLY CONSTRUCTED...

    Gta3 Pc Makes Me Cry

    I buy this game after my exams are over and think my systems up to spec (1.33 athlon, geforce2mx). It runs like a pig and the control system is soooooo messed up with my gamepad. Anyone else here had problems?

    can some mod fulfill my special request?

    and innuendo aside, is it possible for someone to change my actual user name from 'the acj' to 'adi' as its actually my nickname. if you can't, I won't be too fussed, but I'd appreciate it if someone could.

    Hospital Poll!

    on a subject slightly related to the poll, who here hates hospitals as much as I do? its nothing to do with the death and/or weird noises (I've seen far worse on the streets of Belfast at 11'o clock), but its just the incredibly feeling that time has frozen somehow. its just so mundane waiting...

    Duke of Endinburgh

    Has anyone here done it? I've just reached the age required for silver and hope to do it with my school (about 60 have applied and only 28 can go through, I've been getting good references from everyone, even my guitar tutor!). aanyway, what have your experiences been. and does it really help...

    Look At This Xbox Thread Gogogogogogogogogo

    I can't believe peoples attitudes that after the first few weeks of sale, the xbox is now doomed for failure a la 3DO. I'm no m$ fan myself (apart from win xp which is rather good.. too bad I didn't have to pay for it :) ) but people are ignoring some key facts: 1. The XBox has the best launch...

    hit points?

    OK, I'm really not into rpgs etc (apart from deus ex and zelda) but I can't help but notice the rather strange statistics underneath peoples avatars. Just how the hell are they formulated and why do the mods have suspiciously high figures? :sly:

    how did the moderators become moderators?

    See the title. I can understand Jabo, Schizo, Azimer etc being mods because they made emus and Martin coz he owns the site, but what about Jaz and Blizz and all the other mods?

    microsoft ate my brain

    OK, i get winxp, fully update it and then I open windows media player and what does it do? Plays David Byrne (?) and his song 'Like Humans Do'. Excuse me for ranting on a bit, but what the hell is going on? I can understand beethoven and blues being there as samples because they provide good...

    The Oscars

    Saw the highlights on BBC1 last night. What did people think of the results and does anyone know when training days coming out on dvd? I was disgusted that lord of the rings didn't win best film, what is with films about disability and sentimentality always getting the big awards? A beautiful...

    Bios Updates? Someone Help Me!

    I read in some PC magazine that updating your bios would substantially increase the speed of your computer. Is it worth doing it and how would I go about it? Also, does anyone know if your hard drive needs to be formatted before you do this?

    Win ME serious controller mess-up

    After my gravis exterminator pad broke after a pitiful 5 months of usage, I now find I can't install any new controllers in Win ME. Whenever I go to the properties section in the gaming options panel, I get a 'cannot find the required system files' message. It happens when I try to install a...

    Best Band Ever?

    For me its a four way tie between Deftones,Jane's Addiction,At the Drive-in and the Smashing Pumpkins. The thing I've never understood was why the Beatles were rated so highly, they had some good tunes, but the Doors were just so much better in every aspect. Maybe its because I live in the UK...
