I think I gave my MAG beta code to someone in here. I forget who.

The problem is that it's three ACCUSATIONS of piracy that gets you disconnected. They don't need to prove you did it, if you're accused 3 times, you will be disconnected.

It's a joke of a law and I'd hate it to be passed.

I'll probably get Assassin's Creed 2 eventually.

Lego Rock Band on Friday, though. Been out in America for about a month now. Best soundtrack of any plastic guitar game ever.

I think I'm going to check out these Hornet's Nest audio dramas. First time Tom Baker has taken the role since he left the show (not counting his 30 second bit on Dimensions in Time), and it sounds interesting.

Press release:

Doctor Who - The End Of Time: Part One

It's the Tenth Doctor's final journey - but his psychotic nemesis the Master has been reborn, on Christmas Eve. With both determined to cheat death, the battle ranges from the wastelands of London to the mysterious Immortality Gate, while the alien Ood warn of an even greater danger approaching, as a terrible shadow falls across the entire Universe.

David Tennant stars as the Tenth Doctor and guest stars include John Simm, Bernard Cribbins, Catherine Tate, Timothy Dalton, David Harewood and June Whitfield.

The End Of Time - Part One is written by Russell T Davies and directed by Euros Lyn. The producer is Tracie Simpson.

Doctor Who - The End Of Time: Part One is simulcast on the BBC HD channel - the BBC's High Definition channel, available through Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.

Doctor Who - The End Of Time: Part Two

The Doctor faces the end of his life as the Master's plans hurtle out of control. With the sound of drums growing louder, and an ancient trap closing around the Earth, the Doctor and Wilf must fight alone. But sacrifices must be made, and the deadly prophecy warns: "He will knock four times."

David Tennant stars as the Tenth Doctor and guest stars include John Simm, Bernard Cribbins, Catherine Tate, Timothy Dalton, David Harewood and June Whitfield.

Skindred, maybe?

They're horrendously bad, though. Saw them live supporting Flogging Molly. Once of the worst things I've ever seen.

I'd probably be really bad at it. At least 70% of the stuff I watch is sci-fi, and I watch vastly more TV series than I watch films. I'm the only person I know who prefers the serialised TV show format over a film for telling stories.

Also, I totally just realised where I recognised the guy who played Leon from.

He was the French military guy in Godzilla!

Please, Rise Against are clearly punk. What the fuck else could you classify them as?

Punk is a genre. Being mainstream/popular doesn't change the type of music you're making.

Watched Lawrence of Arabia.

Fantastic. Very few films could hold my attention for 3 hours 40 minutes, but this easily manages it. Incredibly good cast, too.

9/10, because some of the bits focussing on Lawrence's discomfort with bloodshed could have been handled better.

Watched Leon.

Pretty much what I expected. Good, not great. 8/10.

Tanker Section in MGS 2 took me about as long. Got game, played about halfway through, and then left it for years.

And now I can't beat REX :(.

REX can be a pain, but it still shouldn't be hard.

Although, I remember shooting Liquid with the sniper rifle after the top opens as a kid, but whenever I try it now, I get raped before I get the chance.

I know all the words, but I still watch everything, and call everyone in each area to get all the codec scenes.

I should do it without cutscenes some time, see how fast I can do it.

Can't, get and error when trying to sync trophies.

COLOURS ARE GAY ANYWAY I DIDN'T EVEN WANT ONE.

Account Management.

I looked. Doesn't seem to be an option for it.

How do you lot have different colours on your userbar things?

Is it an input or an output port?

If it's input, should work fine. More likely it's output though, they're pretty much standard on modern PCs now.

OH BOY A SYSTEM UPDATE THESE ARE ALWAYS FUN.

4%.

Should have downloaded it at uni and put it on a memory stick. It's what I do with steam stuff. Take advantage of the 4MB/s download speeds.

What sort of loser still plays video games?

I'll stab you if you come to Newcastle.

Is that skipping cutscenes or what? Mine aren't speed runs, it's just how long it takes me.

I normally do Metal Gear Solid in one sitting. 6 hours, tops.

I'm a physics student. I'm taught by people with doctorates doing research into things I can't even pronounce.

Anyway who doesn't own MGS on disc is scum, anyway.

Street Dogs, Spoiler NYC, Dropkick Murphys, Rise Against, The Tossers, Rancid, Flogging Molly.

Loads of new-ish punk bands putting out good stuff, and the likes of Stiff Little Fingers are still going strong.

I think you're watching it wrong. The Fifth Element is SUPPOSED to be extremely cheesey.

The first time I watched it, I thought it was supposed to be a comedy/parody.

From Wikipedia:
"The Fifth Element is a 1997 science fantasy, action-comedy, techno thriller film directed by Luc Besson."

It is a comedy.

Swagger is my favourite, but it's all good.

If you like Flogging Molly, try:

The Pogues
The Tossers
The Real McKenzies

Play are actually pretty expensive, particularly on box sets. They're definitely the one I buy least from.

HMV is actually particularly good online.

I buy DVDs all the time, and generally just open HMV.com, Play.com and Amazon.co.uk in 3 tabs, and search anything I think of buying in each, and choose the cheapest.

If you're not looking for anything in particular, this section and this section on HMV's website are excellent. Sort by genre or price. I often just put the under £10 box sets up, or the £2.99 DVDs, and see if there's anything worth getting on them. Some great prices on there. Dollars trilogy + Hang Em High for £9, and there's loads of good films in the £2.99 section.
