COD MW3 on PS3 and helping my nephew complete Aladdin on the MegaDrive

ALADDIN!!! I hated the magic carpet level with all the lava as a kid, never got further than that!


Great game though!

@ amiga forever, grabbed a corker pc deal just b4 the hard drive price fiasco from ebuyer. funny enough it soon dissapeared

 

[AmiNeo]

Not to price drive but WTF is going on with hard drive prices all of a sudden? its more than twice as much as it should be for 1TB now!


... Its actually cheaper to buy external drives...

 

[DetpaX]

it was the floods in the far east m8, western digital got hammered by them. BUT WD are saying they have not put prices up but RETAILERS have! go figure.

there are still bargains to be found. you just need to think outside the box.

 

[AmiNeo]

Ah i see thanks for the info!

Strangely enough, that levels where he gets stuck too. I can complete it just about with 1 life to spare. Hate that level

 

[Harrison]

I also hate that lava level. Think I gave up on the game at that point as it was too frustrating to keep attempting it any more.

Who knew Disney games aimed at kids would be so hard to complete? oh:

Gentlemen, i am amazed to see how much time you have to play games. I am lacking free time due to my work commitments, as far as i am concerned. Even when i have a few unused hours, me playing games really upsets my wife...

This is why I have an instantly disposable girlfriend... I must play COD for a not unreasonable 5-7 hours a week, maybe an hour each night and some over the weekend. If they want to watch soaps and the CrapFactor (no of which has ANY benefit on reaction times or social skills then I'm playing with my toys!

Show her the back of your hand dood

Both myself and my 6 yr old son are playing Battlefield 3, hes about as good as me on it too. he asked for a computer and bf3 for xmas!

Isn't BF3 an 18 certificate?

 

[DetpaX]

yeah the unrestricted game is 15 i think but i restrict access for him.

 

[arnljot]

And now, also Remote B-Spec races in GT5

 

[WhoShotMrWhite]

Ahhhhhhhhhh good to see.. not judging or being a Mary Whitehouse or anything mate, god knows I was wathcing Rambo and Robocop on VHS and everything when I was a kid... but when I'm online via COD you get kids lashing out all sorts, team killing, screaming, generally ruining the game and of course some of the language they are subjected to :huh: at 23.34 at night, you wonder where their parents are sometimes.

And the 'Russian' scene in MW2 made ME feel kinda queezy :wooha: who knows what effect this could have.

Please tell me someone else is playing Speedball 2 on iPhone?!?

 

[DetpaX]

totally agree, i limit him to playing for short periods and intend to purchase/rent my own server so he will be safe playing. that way i have full control.

 

[WhoShotMrWhite]

Wasn't hacking a major issue with PSN recently too? and it was down for a fair few weeks no? as far as I can tell LIVE has never been down, that 's why ya pay credit card details safe and can carry on gaming with COD DLC before anyone else...

Never let your wife dictate what you can and can't do in your spare time, that is a road to a very unhappy life. The key to a successful marriage is being able to have your own hobbies and interests, as well as sharing other interests and hobbies together. Everyone needs a bit of space on their own for a healthy life too.

No way would I let my wife dictate exactly what I can and cannot do every second of the day. She tries sometimes but I don't let her get away with it, just as she wouldn't let me tell her what she could and couldn't do. Would be a very unhappy life if it was like that.

My Father-in-Law is completely under the thumb of my Mother-in-Law, with her ordering him around to do this job or that job (whilst she sits on the sofa). He isn't even allowed to watch a TV program if he has his "jobs" to do. No way do I ever want to get stuck like that.

The one thing that really annoys me with some online games is exactly that. Stupid kids who shouldn't be playing the game suddenly being heard whining like little babies. And normally they are really high pitched American voices that just really bug me (not intended as an insult to the US, just teen Americans I hear in these games have the most annoying high pitched voices I've ever heard, and extremely immature comments to boot).

This ^^

If your wife is unhappy about something you enjoy doing, something needs to be worked out and fast. Me and the wife understand we both enjoy doing other things sometimes. I could never live being told what I can and can't do, same with the wife, if I told her what she could and could not do I don't think we would still be married. Granted sometimes you can't always do what you both want.

 

[Harrison]

I agree, you do have to compromise otherwise it would never work, but you have to strike a balance so you are both happy and both enjoying life. It can't be all about one or the other.
