    Getting a PS3 onto the internet

    Hello chaps, It's been a while since my last post and I bring you something of a technical query: I recently obtained a PS3 and I'm having a bugger of a time connecting it to my University's halls network. I had intended to share the connection from my laptop with my PS3 via WLAN. However...

    How people Butcher your name

    The IZ in the middle of my surname is pronounced (guess fucking what!) "IZ", not "EASE", "IS", or any other way. Its akin to pronouncing "smith" as "smythe" - really gets on my nerves because it just isn't complicated, its only a two syllable word anyway ffs!

    Worst Book You've Read for School

    Tess of the d'Urbervilles: Fucking horrible book - the works of Thomas Hardy should be erased from existence for crimes against entertainment.

    Poll: Ever Lost Conciousness?

    Three times from alcohol - not the kind of deep sleep that a very drunk person descends into, but the paralytic coma that a dangerously drunk person falls into...explains the radiator shaped 2nd degree burn on my upper arm.

    What if the moon got blown to pieces?

    Tides would change/stop altogether. Earth's orbit & speed of annual/diurnal rotation would probably change too. Earth's axis might also shift. In short: we'd be screwed.

    WoW help

    WoW these days is a pretty RAM-hungry game; 1gb is really pushing it unless you want to run it in 32x32 in black and white.

    Shattered Horizon: Graphic Overload

    Aaand there is your problem - also, you should always read the req. specs before buying or your friend wouldn't have wasted his money. I haven't played it, but I've seen enough footage to put me off getting it; doesn't hit the spot for me at all.

    Scientist Says Building Gundam Models Makes You Smarter

    Again, is this really even news? Almost any activity that requires you to build something, using your spacial awareness and logic is blatantly going to lead to the creation of new neuron pathways and increase brain activity - this is old info. The same can be said of Lego, Mechano, even a...

    This will never fly...wait...WHAT?!

    ITT: opinions and people arguing because they confuse opinions with facts. Motion controls (as several other people have said) would be the biggest thing I still don't get despite their apparent popularity; without full force feed-back they just seem odd to me. Downloading (legally) games...

    Plans to nuke BP oil spill gathers steam

    I suggest a 50mt warhead minimum...just to be safe (and unbelievably awesome).

    To the guy who I saw wearing a zero punctuation shirt in Labrador West

    Its a small world, there are about 4 or 5 people who go to my small-town Welsh university who happen to be Escapists (Aberystwyth, incidentally).

    Poll: England vs. USA (Football World Cup)

    rarrr, rage, snort, rage - why does the US even play football? Can't they stick to hand-egg and man-rounders? The obscene amount of money they get means they dominate (eventually, if not immediately) any sport they get involved with. OT: The above was, of course, meant to be taken as a joke...

    Do you use the toilet brush?

    Review: Alpha Protocol

    Could not most of the issues be fixed with a big fat patch? Was kind of tempted to get this, but if it really is currently as broken as people say it is, I think I'll hold on to my money. And heh, expenses account - as an earlier poster said, its quite funny if you're British.
