   Out at midnight tonight. It'll be a while before I get to it because I lost my save when I bought a new 360 so I need to play through the first two again unfortunately. However, I'm still buzzing about the final one coming out. My favourite RPG ever.

   I posted my speedtest results the other day when I had 10m broadband and it was something shite like 0.38 at the back of the house and barely 6 in the room the router is in. So I upgraded to 50m and i've just sorted it out, done a speedtest and the highest it's been is 12m in the room the router is in, haven't even checked the back of the house yet. Will it get faster over time as it's just been installed or will i need to ring Virgin?

   Playstation 3 vs Xbox 360 1 2 3

   Right, one of the lads wants a new console for Christmas and this might turn out to become reality, so i need a bit of advice as to which one to plump for. He will be happy with either so I would prefer to get the one that i would get most out of. I will be honest and say that i am leaning towards the PS3 as there is little difference in price and i can get on the whole media streaming thing with it too. It is also the only one that has, if I am correct, little Big Planet which he played at my sister's house and has been going on about since then. the one i am looking at is the "older" non-slim ps3 with 80gb harddrive. Both consoles have so many different models…

   So, Im due an upgrade and as I dont own a laptop I would like a jabscreen so that I can browse th webternet for trivia while in my living room. Ive narrowed it down to these (Although the Sony one with HD video is tempting as I would like to start a youtube video blog) Anyone had both and can give me a comparison? I dont trust most reviews as with Apple you tend to get huge fanboys who buy stuff only because its Apple. I'm surprised they dont wear apple t-shirts! Ive got nowt against Apple by the way, but I see them the same as Microsoft, Oracle or Samsung! Things that each phone does better than the other I guess is what im interested in.

   I actually had an Atari XE back in the day, and used to love this game I had called Henry's House. Prince Henry had been shrunk and had to fend for himself in Buckingham Palace, while negotiating various traps like moving slippers and running taps, it was far more fun than it sounded! Honurable mentions for: Joe Blade, sideways shoot em up. And Spy Vs Spy Two player trap-setting heaven!

    Old desktop is very much on it's way out. Having bother getting it to start up at all sometimes because the BIOS isn't even loading up and it's frequently overheating when it does start up. Always used to build my own as I worked in IT for a number of mainly unpleasant years but with the last one decided it was easier to buy a one. It's a decent spec on paper but quite frankly is a heap of shit so I want to go back to doing my own. Totally out of touch with who is doing what these days and who should be avoided or chosen motherboard wise at the moment. Meaning real world use rather than what the specs say as we all know they can largely be bollocks. Needless …

    We have a desktop and a laptop working off our server at work. The laptop is wireless, the desktop aint. They both (laptop a lot more often) keep losing the network printer. By losing I mean, it's still there in 'printers and faxes' but it says it is having trouble to communicate. If you delete it and reinstall it, it's fine for a while, but then the error happens again. Any clue what's going on?

    Can someone help me with the differences in PS3 and X-Box? All that full system stuff on X-Box and the difference in gigs on the PS3? I dont want to play online just the best games on it, so which would be best? Because the X-Box has many many many incarnations like all these?! http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&langId=-1&q=XBOX&pp=20&c_1=1|cat_8963957|Xbox%20360|8963978&canned_results_trigger=%28free_text%3D%3D%28+XBOX%29%29%28mode%3Dpage%3D%28+SEARCH_x2B_NAV%29%29%28cfg%3Dgrouped_display%3D%28+_x30_%29%29%28cfg%3Danswers_per_page%3D%28+_x32_0%29%29

    Pro Evo 6 vs FIFA '07 1 2 3

    Have downloaded the new FIFA '07 demo from XBOX LIVE for the 360.. must say the graphics are brilliant and the movement is closest yet to Pro Evo. Having been a big Pro Evo fan, I would love to see how the new one compares to FIFA. If only Pro Evo could get the official data there'd be no comparison necessary, howver playing at Liverpool at Anfield with the official kits, detailed commentary, even PA system annoucements such as 'could Mr Whatever please report to you're nearest steward' YNWA and varied other chants for EACH team in the game does add something.. rather than playing as Merseyside Red with Trevor Brooking.. I'm ashamed to say I'm tempted by FIFA.. …

    My good friends at the TNF, I tied myself into a contract were the minutes were good, the texts were also good and the price was reasonable. But the handset was shit. I am never buying a Samsung again. The stupid horrible pieces of fucking dirt. Anyway, I was thinking of investing in one of these motherfuckers until my time comes when my contract comes up for revision. So TNF, I come to you with this question. Which Blackberry should I get? And why? Oh TNF, how I love you so. Malarkey xxx

    For some reason my laptop has stopped playing internet videos - by this I mean when I go onto redtube or youporn, I can get onto the website OK but when I click on a clip, it won't play! The same with youtube and i-player. As a fervent and regular masturbator, you can imagine the distress this is causing. I haven't changed any settings, so I've no idea why this is happening to me. Any ideas?
