  1. I thought it had the potential to be him. I think he still has feelings for me, I did call him a twat on the old forums
  2. Remember when rockstar announced gta 4 and a fuckload of games were pushed back to avoid clashing with them? well chances are it'd happen with V. It could release at the same time as cod but, being honest, I know that most of my friends are not interested in both. for a large number of gamers its one or the other, for me its gta all the way. (Cod is shit anyway)
  3. Not committing myself to these anymore, If my internet wants to work then I might show up otherwise its never going to happen. shame really, my download speed has improved but overall connection quality has dipped
  4. So did anyone else get spammed by this fucktard or is it just me?
  5. So I originally hail from a lovely place called Huyton. heres a little snippet from wikipedia: About 8 years ago I moved to the even more lovely Widnes. Again heres a bit from the Wiki page: So basically its near to liverpool and its a generally a shithole (I live in the nice area). a few images of widnes for those who want to know what it looks like: The runcorn-Widnes bridge Spike island, Widnes. The town centre where the many charity shops are located
  6. Take it you don't like the beatles. may I ask why?
  7. Wish my city was the birthplace of something. Really marney? what about the Beatles? Edit: If we're leaning towards food then what about good old scouse?
  8. About 15 years back we had Electronic Boutique's scattered across England, and i think GAME bought them out, now the tables have turned and Gamespot is gonna make a return in our country. I went up city today and looked in both Gamestation, and Game, and to be honest, like Marney i didn't find many decent sale items left. I did pick up Deus Ex for just under £8, which I think was an okay deal, but the majority of pre-owned games are crap. I thought they were doing discounts on new games too, obviously not. Some of the new games are discounted but not by too much. I think its because most of them are on credit and the suppliers would want the stock back when they go into admin.
  9. Went into gamestation today after college to see what they had left. asked the guy behind the counter if theres anything obscenely cheap on ps3 and he reached for dj hero 1 with a turntable. preowned obviously but not bad for £2.98, eh?
  10. exactly what I said. you seen the price of the consoles there? the gamestation in st helens has the 320gb Slim PS3 for £150. great time for anyone to venture into consoles for the first time There were no bargains at all (or non left anyway), seriously. Even a dual shock PS3 controller was £50. I think I got ripped on those pre-owned games myself. A penny? Feckin' hell, they are in the shit. And yeah Mafia 2 is something we'll both enjoy, she loves films like Casino, Goodfellas etc so the cut-scenes should make her happy. Oh yeah, pics of my walk home. gamestation seems to have more of a selection, I've been in both game and gamestation numerous times over the past two days looking for decent games and the stock numbers have started to seriously dwindle even in st helens. You got any spare change for a few shares by any chance?

  12. So you were on gta when you were meant to be working? what if you had got a call for a job or something (this on the basis of you being a fireman and not just a strange cunt that broke into a firestation to use their ps3)
  13. oh look, my ps3 wont sign in and my internet is slow as fuck, theres a shock. fuck it, next time maybe if I dont go on a rampage and smash up the telephone exchange in widnes
  14. game is the main games company in the UK, the likes of hmv and blockbuster are probably the only other ones tbh. the supermarkets are really the only real competitors to game. We generally have a big 4 of supermarkets theres asda(owned by walmart), tesco, morrisons and sainsburys
  15. Seeing as you don't seem to live in the UK that might be why you've never heard of it. Tbh, its pretty shit, we're only suddenly interested in them because everything has been slashed considerably
  16. When they actually go into admin then the prices will drop more but most of the games are at half the price they were before. Its all about choosing the right games, for example two games for £3.96 (and yes, that IS the steel case endwar for £1.98)
  17. we actually had one of them spit roast pigs in our chest freezer once. my dad thought it'd be a great barbecue idea but then the great british weather shit all over iy and it resided in the freezer for months. Great thing was I didnt know about its location and was only about 10 at the time, I got the biggest shock in the known fucking world when I wanted to get an ice cream one day. shit a fucking brick. He told you it was a pig. That was your real mum. WOW Didn't mean for that to sound horrible lol. Sorry mate. you do sound like a twat there tbh
  18. A drawer in the kitchen? we have a general shit drawer that everything get thrown into, reciepts, junk mail, pens, pencils
  19. looks like you wont have much of a choice in a few weeks if no one buys game
  20. I'd spend them asap, if they go into admin then they might not accept vouchers. I believe someone got dj hero with the decks for £13 according to a few posts on twitter. ZOMG! Do I detect some sarcasm here? when you consider that the game was atleast 70 quid when it came out I'd like to think thats great value
  21. We've got an 8 year old desktop that manages to perform basic tasks very well with 1gb of RAM. it just depends what you need it for tbh. if you're going to sit there with 20 windows open then it struggles but as long as your not a cunt (trying to get this message through to my brother) then its fine. is slow as fuck though even compared to my old acer laptop

  23. I believe this is in the correct section, mods feel free to move it if you wish. So then, it looks like game group are in trouble So basically anyone in the UK needs to get their arse down to gamestation (game doesn't have much of a preowned section) and buy themselves some games for a good price. Managed to get myself a few games for relatively cheap before, more trophies for me!!

  25. Why is it that people always throw RAM at an average spec PC expecting a extra fuckton of performance? for gaming the ram would be sound but the rest of the spec doesn't really shout out HD gaming tbh. And personally, solid state has the potential to be fantastic but its still finding its feet. some people still think its the must have in hard drive tech but its not really necessary.
