RE: Oscars 2008

Gone Baby Gone should have been up for best pic ahead of both Juno and Michael Clayton, and possibly even Atonement.

Spot on, don`t see enough love for the film. Have seen most of the big hitters for the oscars season and would have to agree, its the best film i`ve seen all year.
I personally think Casey should have got the nod for it aswell - if he`s better in Jesse James I really can`t wait to see it.

RE: Metroid Prime 3..can`t wait!

I bought it yesterday and after a few hours its really good. So much fun rolling around as a ball. Given me a nice break from Halo.
So what can you share with friends and stuff on it. I`m not really sure as none of my friends have got Wii`s :(

LCD Wall Mount

Hi Folks

Was wondering if anyone could help, I`ve just moved into my brothers old bedroom and fancy saving myself some desk space by mounting my LCD on a wall. I`m not really too bothered about these fancy ones with the arms, maybe a slight tilt function might be handy - but I`m only looking to spend around £50-70 (or less if possible ;) ).

Now I have a Toshiba 27WL55, its a french model which was renamed 27WL46 in England (I believe). But as hardly any websites recognise this model I`m having trouble figuring out what fittings it is - I hope its the same as the English remodel. If anyone knows or has this model I would appreciate any info - as it was posted on here a while back in the bargain bucket section. As google`s not being too helpful :(

Also anybody know any good websites to buy a wallmount from???

Cheers, Craig

RE: XBOX 360: CoD4 BETA Test (Free)

You can also get a Free COD4 Beta by signing up for an account with Eurogamer and following the links, I just did it and should (fingers crossed) be sent it on the 10th.

Saves you preodering with GAME as I`m sure you can probably get it cheaper elsewhere!!
If anyone needs a link let me know.

I`ve preordered it, cannot wait to be honest.

RE: Reign Over Me

I watched this yesterday, thought it was very good. Some great acting by Cheadle, Sandler, Tyler & Mrs Smith. Was very moving and also in parts very funny, which is something that a lot of films struggle to blend together. Must admit It nearly had me reaching for the tissues at a couple of points namely....

SPOILER:
....When he first opens up to Cheadle about his family & when he speaks to his mother and father in law after the court hearing and he pecks her on the cheek, it was very well played.

Was well worth the watch.

RE: Be Kind Rewind Trailer

Yeah looks funny, never been the biggest fan of Mr Def but if he can play off Jack Black it can only be a good thing.

Will definately be keeping a look out for this one.

RE: How do I remove a picture that was sent by someone else to my facebook page?

If he`s tagged you and thats the reason its on your page then just click into the photo and there should be an option to `remove tag` - it could be next to your name, where it says who`s in the photo, but there should be the option there somewhere

Always helps for those embarrasing photo`s :D

RE: What I watched this week (w/e July 29th)

About time I contributed, instead of just reading.

Knocked Up - Really really awesome, managed to get into a free preview screening a couple of hours ago. Its really really funny. I`d actually go as far as saying its better than his last effort the 40 year old virgin (which I loved 8) ) and that takes some doing.
I hope this does for Rogen what it did for Carrell, as he`s got that kind of loveable charm about him even when swearing his head off.
As with the previous film its quite predictable & straight forward, but there`s some very touching moments and some great work from all involved & the best Meg Ryan joke I ever heard.

Cannot wait for Superbad, I think it might just top both.

RE: Bad or good news about the Transformers movie

Quote:
Is that honestly all people want now?

No not at all, I was merely pointing out the fact that it looked so damn good you couldn`t tell.
Possibly my favourite film I`ve seen this year is The Fountain & I admire films that take that route. Except lets face it this film couldn`t be made without CGI - Unless it looked like an episode of the mighty morphin power rangers.
Yeah the story was pretty lame to say the least but I must admit I felt like a kid in a candy shop watching this film.....so sue me ;)

Well I f***in loved it

I bloody loved it too :D . Time just flew by as your hit by wave & wave of faultless CGI!!
Really really funny too, you can see why the kid is the next big thing.

Anyone else think that Megan Fox was a much better looking cross between Stacey from Eastenders and Mercedes off Hollyoaks or was it just me :/ :x

RE: Die Hard 4.0 (short review)

Saw it last night.....absolutely loved it. Went with 7 blokes and 1 girl and everybody thought it was excellent. I wasn`t sure he`d still be Mclane after all these years but he really pulled it out the bag, I`d go as far to say this is the 2nd best in the series after the 1st one (obviously). Yeah the story is a bit weak (there`s one in there somewhere) but this is one seriously funny film with more Mclane one liners than you can poke a stick at 8)

RE: FLAT OUT Ultimate Carnage on 360 awsome !!

ISP Download Throttling

Hey guys

I`m with BT for my broadband and have the unlimited downloads package. Now unfortunately BT feel the need to throttle downloads (mainly torrent and peer to peer) during the hours of say 12pm till 12am. Now although I don`t download a lot at all, I work 9 to 5 and struggle to get anything downloaded nowadays. Is there anyway to get around this - some encrytion or something??. I`m all for fair use and everything, I don`t really want to leave my computer on all day you see - but I struggle to get one episode of lost or the like done in a week nowadays.

Anybody`s ISP do the same??

Thanks, Craig

RE: Vista Wireless Network Help

Well I unplugged the computer and moved closed to the hub and strangely it connected. I just cancelled the startup of the netgear program and used windows to connect it. I gave it a static IP address.

I then done some windows vista updates and it came up and said that my netgear usb adapter was incompatible with vista and it would try and find an update to correct it. Which is strange I guess as thats how it was connected.

Well least I know everything works, so now when I unplug and take back to my room it might be ok (he says with everything crossed)... :D

RE: Vista Wireless Network Help

Unticked the box but it still won`t find the network let alone even give me the chance to connect to it.

I`m gonna change the channel of the hub tomorrow when no-ones connected to it, just to see if that make any difference at all. Might try and connect to it wired and download some vista updates as I read that may help. But i`m running out of ideas....... :(

RE: Vista Wireless Network Help

I haven`t tried to connect without WEP, I dont think thats the problem though, as it doesn`t even find it.

Quote:
Have a look in network connections for the wireless adaptor.

it might be that in the properties, you have to "de-select" TCP/IPv6
and revert back to TCP/IPv4

I think you may be onto something, as when I did look on the properties it did list both of them and I didn`t know which was which.
Can I change them though without it finding a network?? Will I have to manually create the connection.

Vista Wireless Network Help

Hi Guys

I`ve just bought myself one of them lovely new Dell systems with Vista Premium. Now as I was previously using a laptop I went and bought myself a USB Wireless network adapter (Netgear WG111 its v2 edition) and I`m trying to get it to connect to my BThomehub.
I`ve been on the netgear website and downloaded the latest software and drivers that are Vista compatible and that appears to be ok as the device manager has eveything as being enabled and working properly.

The problems lies with getting it to connect with the homehub, its only picked it up on a bout 3 occasions, but it then dissapears before I`ve had a chance to put the WEP in. Nothing else in the house has a problem connecting to it. Now I`ve looked and I have no conflicting firewalls (I don`t think).

Is there something I`m doing wrong or is there something i`ve gotta do in Vista?? Any help would be much appreciated. :B

Thanks, Craig
