I like the way the 10 Comms refer to bondage on the first line, and yet S&M gear is somehow seen by society as 'unacceptable'.



Me:

Am I still gonna get a board warning?

Not from me. Contrary to some opinions, I am not God.

[dimtimjim]

You missed an 'o'....

[a-moron]

Tim, that was * abysmal.

Could've went with The Bas -
No but you are a goddess.

The Stinton -
Bet you've got an 'almighty' pair of boobs.

The DD -
If you show me your holiness it might help me with my omnipotence.

The Badger -
Jism.

[Boboff]

Business as usual Boys!

[bmstinton93]

So 4OD isn't very good then is it?

[a-moron]

Apparently not.

Any of these would have been acceptable, although 'the Bas' is obviously my favourite.

Yip, 4OD is still shite today...

I was just updating my CMQN page (which is woefully neglected) and realised none of it is available on 4OD :S

Just discovered if you watch ITV player on Chrome with AdBlock running, there aren't any ads. I knew the plug in would stop pop ups and that, but I'm rather chuffed that it blocks those ads too. Now it runs like a dream.

[dimtimjim]

^^

I like this.

Just adding more fuel to the 4od is poop argument. I had to iron my work shirts last night. Estimated timescale 20-25 mins. Perfect to watch an episode of something. Load up beeb iPlayer - seen all I want to watch already. Off to 4od. Brill, here is something I want to watch...

So, after 4 attempts at getting the right page to load, I finally managed to start the programme playing. I start ironing. By the time I finish ironing (took 22 mins so my guess was good) 4od has managed to play the opening credits for my chosen show and about the first 8 seconds, all interupted with much, much buffering.

Now, I have a very fast 16-18Mb tinterweb connection, and to prove a point, once finihsed ironing, I went back to Beeb iPlayer; sure enough, straight in, prog on, no buffering, no waiting, no re-loading the page. Sure, I had to re-watch something I'd already seen, but even knowing what joke is coming up is less irritating than trying to use 4od.

Less than 1 minute of a show in 20+ mins view time. Shocking, truly shocking. Have a word with yourselves 4od.

[chrysostom]

Have you tried the 4OD app on the Xbox? It's quite good.

I tend to do my 4OD watching through Youtube as it's more reliable.

[bmstinton93]

None of those Xbox apps work for me through my Uni connection. I presume it's something to do with the proxy settings in place on our network.

And my Iplayer app on there has never worked even when I went home.

Wash your mouth out, you're talking to a PS3er here...

but...but...I've always thought you were kinda cool

[MK Chris]

You're both a bunch of saddos... Mario Kart is where it's at.

[dimtimjim]

Mario Kart is where it's at.

Yeah, my 10yr old likes that too...!

Boom, boom, pow.

[MK Chris]

Never been hugely into gaming... loved Sonic and now love Mario, I'm aware they're not serious games though. Just not into Call of Duty, Halo type of games.

[chrysostom]

The F1 games are quite good on the 360/PS3, if you've got the patience to become good at them. The graphics are of a ridiculous quality.

[bmstinton93]

I completed Forza 4 on almost the hardest difficulty. Never played any of the recent F1 games so not sure how different they are.

[MK Chris]

I would like to give them a go, but to buy a console for one game is ridiculous.

Well, the console is the start, ideally for what Andy is suggesting you'd really need a wheel & wheel stand too, which adds another £200...

But, the new F1 games, with a 'force feedback' wheel, are ruddy good.

I never leave home without my PS3 and a HD TV*.



* People always assume I'm joking...

I bought my Xbox in 2006 and have only ever consistently played the FIFA series on it. I think I get my money's worth given that the investment of £840 (including a new game every year, and Xbox live subscription and a console upgrade) has provided me (and my friends) with 6 years of entertainment. Works out about £11.70 per month.

But yes, to buy a console to TRY a game would be silly.
