    Evening games in this weather are ideal alright.
    We played at 11 yesterday morning. By Jesus, the heat even then. Madness.

    Still love it though. :D

    Speaking of Sky Digital, was down at a mates house last night. Somebody climbed up onto their roof and stole their aerial/receiver thing! As one of them said though, they'll probably be able to buy it back on GumTree soon enough :P

    game of 5-a-side in DCU tonight and we're short a few players. 7pm start, if anyone's interested drop me a PM. will more than likely be a spot every week.


    oh and before anyone points it out, this is off-topic. What we play could only be called football in the loosest possible terms ;)

    any regular online gamers here ?

    just a quick question, does playing online impact alot on a cap ?

    like a 50GB download allowance for example ?

    The actual playing does not, but patches, downloads etc do.

    Don't forget to set-up your PS3 connection right so you have the right NAT type. It's simple to do it and it makes on-line gaming much easier. Especially for Call of Duty and FIFA 2010.

    Playing COD: Modern Warfare 2 online makes me so angry. I don't know why I keep playing it. :o

    Enjoy your BB headshot, if you decide to get modern warfare 2 I hope it doesn't pi*s you off as much as It does me! :)

    Halo still gets a bash out of my xbox, very rarely though. Modern Warfare 2 & Fifa 10 are the most played, online anyway, by me.
    Been stuck into Resident Evil 5 lately. Controls are ****e, but Im determined to finish it. Half way there. :)

    Being introduced to guitar hero on the wii last year during my exams was the worst thing that ever happened me - wouldn't stop one night until I got 100% accuracy for Knights of Cydionia by Muse...finished at 5am - another night of 'would be studying' well spent :D

    The wii remote?

    Put your hand in. There should be a little clip that you can open and push down on to your wrist to tighten it, then close the clip to secure it.

    Same, I had to go to some stupid work thing in Donnybrook and there was a queue out the door of the Borza and going right down the footpath. Brilliant marketing on behalf of the chippers and I say they made an absolute bomb out of it.
