    I dont know weather to scream, cry or lash out in rage. Started a new PSN account haven't lost all my games thank god but had to start a new system. Amazingly i had 82 trophies i didnt even know i had.... :/ While it gives me a chance to restart from scratch on my games and learn from my mistakes i think the biggest heartache is GT5 ive lost everything and have to start from scratch. the one game i spend hours playing.. oh well....

    Heres to starting a new life in GTA IV

    This happened to me too with XBL. I'd gotten by without having to log in for ages (mainly because I rarely went online with it, but even when I did it never asked me), then randomly one night it asked for my login details.

    Having set up the account in '09 with a special hotmail account, I couldn't remember the password. Worse still, I couldn't remember the email address I'd used.

    Had to go back to my original account, losing over 15000 Gamerscore, as well as having 100% of the achievements on LA Noire. Sad times. :(

    It did give me incentive to play through a few old games again though during the drought of releases over the summer.

    Observation: My taste in music seems a bit sexist. I listen to, like, 4 female acts, and all of them are hot...

    Also, if I'm gonna be part of UCC Simon, I should probably encourage this kinda stuff: Next week is Simon Week. If anyone's interested in raising awareness about homelessness or volunteering to help out, they might want to check it out. You can become as involved as you like. Is good!!

    To be fair though, with the set up of the music industry most female artists are hot by default.

    Someone made a boards app for Android. Not that it does much just looks cool to have on the home screen.

    Lads. Need your help.

    My USB seems to have gone a bit haywire, it's showing that the majority of memory is being used but when I go into the folder it says that there are no files present. Anyone any ideas? Is everything gone? I have most stuff backed up to dropbox but not everything.

    could be corrupted in which case u would have to format it. Run a scan on it see if it finds any virus'

    Have you signed up to the BéOnline thing? They offer you another 5% discount on fares, not a lot but it all adds up.

    Get a student card if you don't have one already, and AIB do vouchers so it only costs €3


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 7,857 Mod ✭✭✭✭suitcasepink


    Nahh I dont have a student card.. I thought you had to be 3rd level for them to be any good to ya. Wont have a travel card thing sent away for before this weekend but think Ill send away for one sooner rather than later.

    Paly my pal(See what I did there, do ya see it? :D) how do I go about getting these AIB vouchers? O:

    Yes, I see it :pac: If you go into AIB and open a new account, only takes a couple of minutes, then you should be able to ask to get a voucher, and you don't ever have to look at the account again. That's what they do in AIB in Cork anyway! If you look at this page there's places you can go and they'll print off a card for you straightaway or faster than posting it off. It's well worth getting even if you order it by post, and you'll have it next year in college until December. It's saving me 15 euros a week on my train fare to Cork since this time last year, so it's fairly substantial when you're using it regularly!

    Aren't the vouchers for 3rd level only though? No harm in asking anyway I suppose!

    When I started first year in UCC last year, that was one of the offers AIB had to entice students into setting up an account with them. I don't think it was open to second level students as I didn't see it advertised anywhere other than on campus.

    Ye I checked it out earlier, it says it's only for 3rd level first years but any year can do it as far as I've seen. And I think you can only use the express places for the travelcard on campuses if you have a 3rd level student card. If you're in 2nd level you have no choice but to post it off, so Deise_girl and I deduced anyway earlier. :)

    I think Deise can still get one in USIT if there's one near her, easier than having to wait for one to come in the post! :)

    Sky 007 is a great channel, Bond films all day every day!

    So there's a site where it's possible to watch every South Park episode. Now, when you've watched the episode, a message pops up and asks you to "Donate".

    Seriously? Donate to a site that's providing illegal streams of copyrighted material... yeah, I'll get right on that! :rolleyes:

    in fairness, bandwidth isn't free and you used their service, it's perfectly reasonable. Without the donations the site might not be able to exist, and south park will have no way to evade television censorship in many countries

    Besides, the actual south park website streams for free anyway.
