Didn't see any extra stuff for that. They had pre-order posters up, and sometimes they might give you that even if you didn't pre-order. But honestly I didn't even step into the shop; once I saw the price, I ran screaming.

First reactions to Halo; Can't believe split-screen is still not widescreen. The assault rifle feels awesome, like a heavy cannon. Multiplayer is...well, it's Halo Multiplayer. Played two games; was awful in the fist, only racking up 3 kills, and in the second, I got 25, meaning I topped the scoring charts (in Big Team Slayer). The Mechs are amazing to control. Having sprint all the time is brilliant.

If this is prohibited to talk about I apologize.

I'm looking to download some wrestling songs for CAWs in WWE 13. I'm awful with computers but Ive heard that you can download videos from youtube and convert them into MP3. Anyone know how I would go about this?

As I say if prohibited please delete this message. Thanks

Google "youtube to mp3" or something similar and you'll find loads of sites. Some are good, some are crap. Try a few until you find one you like.

Thanks mate.

I just didn't want to download a dodgy one that would feck up my laptop.

Cheers for the help.

A program called Jdownloader will let you save youtube files onto your PC in video (mp4/flv) or audio (mp3) or both if you want. You won't need to convert anything.

Just make sure you get Jdownloader from a respectable website to eliminate the threat or any virus.

So it turns out if you try transfer 300g in one go in claims to take 79 hours

do it in three separate chunks and it takes little over 2 and a half!

Nice!

I have awful lower back pain from a crappy bed thats being replaced next week,so to ease the pain of sleeping in it tonight I've drank a naggin of jameson,4 beers,half a bottle of ****ty kinsey vodka + 5 solpadeine capsules, and still the poxy pain persists!

Gonna be a €50 GP job in the morning + script,which I can't really afford.

Charisteas · 09-11-2012 04:35AM

For €50 you could afford to sleep in someone else's bed tonight :cool:

PS Vita - any use?

I have a couple of years ahead where I am travelling on the train, so far I am going okay with the phone (internet, apps, radio, mp3) but thinking of buying handheld games console after xmas.

but vita is pricey, I could get a ps3 for same sort of price. Any one use the vita here?

Not used one. But it would be handy to have for trips to dublin when i dont have to drive.

Brother sold his psp years ago.

Angron · 09-11-2012 12:21PM

I've never had a PSP, so I dunno how good the Vita is. Only handhelds I've had are Nintendo ones, but that's just for playing Pokemon

GTR63 · 09-11-2012 12:32PM

3DS' are a great little machine. Good catalog of games and the huge quality filled back catalog of DS titles means your spoilt for choice software wise. Plus you don't need memory cards for it and tbh Nintendo has the best studios working on titles whereas Sony often do put B teams making their first party games with varying results. With that being said the Vita is a very slick machine that you feel just needs more support from publishers to blossom.

Angron · 09-11-2012 12:33PM

I don't see myself getting a 3DS any time soon, it's pretty pricey, and they haven't made a pokemon game just for it yet, so for now my Lite will do me!

I like how you've discounted the Pokémon spin-offs.

Angron · 09-11-2012 01:02PM

I will always discount the spin-offs if they look like they suck :P

gnfnrhead · 09-11-2012 01:07PM

The Pokemon games have sucked for a while now. There is a fcuking ice cream Pokemon now! The original 150(+1) were the best but the 251 are also acceptable. After that it went downhill fairly quickly.

Always get the urge to play Red or Blue but the internal battery is dead in Blue while Red is 100% complete. Yellow wasnt as good.

Angron · 09-11-2012 01:10PM

Nah, I still love the main series of pokemon games, though the first gen is my favourite. I have a Charmander, Charmeleon and Charizard tattoo on the back of my leg

Lord TSC · 09-11-2012 06:11PM

Just had the greatest game of my life there in Halo 4, in terms of how well I did...

35 kills. 28 of them vehicle kills. One 15 kill streak.

We were 200 points down and I managed to pull it back for our team (In big team slayer). Next closest to me was my brother on 18 kills. I got to their base and got their Mech, and just mauled them. When they finally got me down 15 kills later, I got in a ghost and got another 9 straight kills.

It's kind of sad to know that I've just played the Halo game of my life though <_<

I have no problem with an ice cream Pokémon but I'm not fond of the design. Go from an ice cube to an ice cream to an iceberg or something. For me Gold and Silver have yet to be topped.

jaykhunter · 10-11-2012 09:55AM

Man, the vita can suck it. Tech-wise it's really impressive but I care not for ports of console games. Proprietary memory card game slot so no playing psp games so you have to download overpriced digital copies.

I'd recommend getting a 3DS, there's some great games for it and a really extensive DS library. Always nice to have some new tech. Or if you're so inclined, get a DS and an R4 card. They're great for storing legal games.

Do you think the reunion will continue any further, are you a fan of The Mars Volta as well? I heard very bad reports about some of their live performances this year but I'd love to see them playing here at some point. Still though, for some reason I have it in my head that it probably won't happen.

Anyone planning on getting the Wii U? Maybe for Christmas?

I'm quite tempted alright. It's a really good price too for a new console and the ZombiU game looks like it could be great.

Then again, I'm looking over at my xbox which has about 20 odd games I haven't even scratched the surface of, so I don't know if I should be getting a new console just yet.

I actually have a PSP already!

Might buy the vita if it comes down in price, till then as you say, it can suck it!
