b999 I remember the first time I played that aged about 15 and actually felt the sensation you get in your stomach when you drive fast over a hill (which I am now). Used to be addicted to Defender and Astroids. Now it's PS3. Anyone downloaded the GT5 demo? What do you think?

I know its 8 Months away but a London Gaming Convention is being held at Olympia (Grand hall) in June 2008. It's being modelled on the Leizpig event. I'll probably be running the VIP section so if anyone wants some free tickets let me know nearer the time.

Apparently the film "Heartbreak Kid," (Ben Stiller), called for a $20-$25 million opening but only managed $14 million in the U.S. and Canada (cost $60m to make) because audiences stayed home to play "Halo 3,". MP has the CPT suffered since you bought the game?

Xbox Live is great, barring that see if you can find a website that does the game in flash or somesuch first of all.

If you want to go the whole emulator route then it's usually worth checking on google groups for trustworthiness before installing anything.

I once installed something from opensource.org which you'd have thought would be trustwrothy and ended up with a nasty little bit of malware that took some eradicating. Learned my lesson though.


Here are a load, but like I say, do your research first.

Is Halo 3 any good? I get the impession with those first person shooters that you're either hooked for months trying to complete the game (I remember spending a couple of months playing Quake about 8 years ago) or you're in a room being shot to shit by evil 11 year olds. And I'm sure I couldn't get a moment's peace from the wife and child.

Coool.


Charlie, Halo3 is pretty good. The single player isn't too demanding, though it's can be so on the ludicrously hard setting. Also you can do it co-op which is nice.

Playing the online battles can be a curiously depressing experience as you're shot up by 11 year-olds, agreed.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...

      Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
