He didn't. In case Console was being too elliptical for you.

Don't bother. No actually do bother, see if you can get further into it than me. The short sentences, rubbish narrative and second rate description made me throw it down after 3 chapters - surprised I got that far. (Yes I actually threw a book!)

Sound advice Gav2k30! Take it to heart.

Doesn't the PS3 also have a live-esque thing?


again my bad. yeah the PS3 has a similar live feature to the 360, (its free at the moment, i believe), think this was a mistake, anyone know how to delete your accout off here? Or is it the admin's job to sort that out? :roll:

Why is that necessary? If you don't like it, you can always stop posting, no-one will notice. Or you could roll with it and come back with some of your own....?

well, i took it to heart just like you said to do. I really have no idea how forums work that much, fair enough i should of read the rules a bit more in depth but I did ask you all to take it easy on me, but the only person to be nice to me is yudster.

The rules here are simple, no text speak, correct spelling and grammar help and other than that it's dog eat dog.

Don't feed the.......Console? - Doesn't have the same ring to it.

I'm generally indifferent to people really, it's not me being nasty it's me being indifferent. There's a difference.

In Dan Brown's case, it wasn't even his idea (if we're talking about the Da Vinci code thing), the idea of christ having a child with Mary Magdalene and the catholic church covering it up is nothing new. At the start of the book, Brown sets out the following claim: “All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents and secret rituals in this novel are accurate” which can be shown to be untrue with even the quickest of internet searches :

http://www.forteantimes.com/features/articles/132/da_vinci_decoded.html are just two examples.

As for his writing style, I'm with S4B on this, it's simplistic and his characterisation is laughable : main character has claustrophobia in one book? No problem, magically cure him in the next with barely a mention.

To summarise, he's rubbish.

Now Angels and Demons, that was one of the very best books I've ever read. I simply couldn't put it down and my tube journey seemed too short! I agree with everyone else regarding Da Vinci Code. I tried and tried and tried and in the end could quite happily of set the damn book on fire. Just piss poor, with the film being no better what so ever. Just hope the poor film doesn't stop Angels and Demons making it onto the big screen.

This thread has become so complex. Consoles, Will Smith, Dan Brown, WoW... it's all too much!

We got a PS3 because the processors and hardware are better than in XBox's. We also wanted Blu-Ray, but mostly it was for the processor.
Tom Hanks is almost as annoying to me as Will Smith, which makes me a crank.
Dan Brown writes utter pish, but he's earned the publishing industry loads of money. Thankfully, I never read his books nor do I ever have to come across them.
WoW is terrible because my cousin won't stop playing it and is now in trouble in school. Horde, duh!
