Yes I spotetd that in your other post. Pretty neat stuff.

Interfaces are the lost art of programming sadly.

Too many people think they know what they're doing, and in my experience almost none actually do.


In fact interface design should generally be kept away from programmers altogether and left to the psychologists and artists to work out, and let the coders implement them.

Gah, my X-box hard drive died last week. Instead of paying Microsoft to repair it I'm toying with the idea of forking out for a 360.

What puts me off though, is the limited number of games from the original xbox that can be played on the 360. I thought that this would be a given for all games. Not that I need a massive amount of encouragement.


Edit: Rolo Tomasi, I've sent you a PM about the event you have mentioned.

I once "met" this couple on WoW who played together (quiet at the back) and teamed up with them a couple of times.

They'd met on WoW, but both lived in manchester and were seeing each other in RL.

The frightening thing was both were divorced and both had met their previous spouses on other online games. The girl on Counterstrike and the lad on Diablo.

I didn't hold out much hope for them.

found this on the THIRD page - shocking...


Anyway, SMG seems to be getting the love that was anticipated - however without a Wii (and unlikely to get one this year) I'll not get the chance to play it - anyone else had a go yet?


I've reached the final level on Halo3 (on Heroic) and am waiting for the right moment to finish the whole thing - I'm firmly in the Halo 1 was fantastic, Halo 2 was bobbins camp and was expecting only marginal improvements in Halo 3 but if anything it has surpassed 1 for me....

Agreed. Single player campaign has been a lot of fun and am about to approach legendary; well I already have and got my arse whupped. Am getting my mate Rich (you met him at Rhythms of the world) involved in some co-op if you fancy it.

Mind you, I can never get past puzzle quest these days ... grrrrrr.

From Gamespot interview with developers

"GS: How are you balancing the four-player gameplay? Will the difficulty scale increase with the number of players in a co-op game?


FO: We've actually included a whole layer of ways to make co-op more challenging. But the first and most important step for players is to forget that easy and normal even exist. If you have any chutzpa at all, you might as well forget heroic while you're at it. Real men (and ladies) play co-op on legendary."

So not only is Rock Band released (not just guitars - oh no. Now you and some friends can play drums, guitar and sing all at the same time) but they have released a Bowie pack


Only thing is, classic track Queen Bitch is now called Queen *****


I mean I ask you...... if you are worried about it, pick another song but... sheesh

    • @Earl, Be assured, it is purely a local group. In fact it is a genteel group of Dulwich area residents, mostly ladies , who are a little  reluctant to publish their individual names as they do not wish to be targets for hostility from internet trolls. Local residents who attended the anti-LTN gatherings in Dulwich would have easily recognised the active members of the group. Should you have any queries about funding, it is quite easy to send them an email.
    • Hi  I have a spare old wheelbarrow that you could have for free. You’d need to come and collect it from Telegraph Hill, so drop me a message if you’re still looking and we can arrange a time best wishes carrie
    • This is quite a serious allegation. What evidence is there of this? Pressured how and by whom? This is quite a spin on ‘it’s been agreed with the emergency services’. They think the vehicles pictured driving through with partially covered plates are the result of ‘poor signage’ 🤔  If it is as they say ‘small numbers’ driving through the square, that doesn’t suggest that the signage is unclear. I mean who honestly believes it’s possible to drive through there without noticing the signs / planters (assuming you’re driving with due care and attention)?! 🤨  Also, haven’t ‘One’ opposed any improvements to the layout / landscaping and signage proposed by Southwark? It’s all a bit desperate. At the height of the LTN ‘controversy’ a number of co-ordinated ‘One’ groups popped up across London. It doesn’t feel like a local grassroots movement, but has all the hallmarks of astroturfing. The lack of transparency about it’s funding / sponsorship and structure does not help with this impression. 
    • Hi there, My children and I are adopting 4 ex-battery hens and seeking a secondhand home for them, let me know if you have anything, of any style that might fit four feathered ladies in. I can collect at your convenience this weekend or during the week.    Warmest, Hannah
