The mother was in a pretty horrible car crash last night and walked away with jus bruised ribs from the seat belt, twas so severe that the second cars engine bay went on fire and the driver ran off,


Fair play to the ambulance an fire crews that helped her and the taxi driver out,.. They both walked away with minor bruises an shock..

The vast majority of mods and even admin are still bit lost for wheres about what's going on atm. Can't really go too much in detail except to say all options are being looking at at present by the top dawgs. So for the time being.. threads will remain as they are until any further developments.

@ Balfie, glad she and the driver are relatively alright man.

Not a Halo fan and never have been. But I find it odd they are introducing perks. Takes away from the game IMHO.

They recently updated the cars to have the same stuff that the english police use, number plate reading cameras in front and back, both are used for reading plates, and speed, if the car was in a fixed position they could have been using a Lazer gun that determines speed, or if they had the car Pointing towards the road they could have jus seen that you were speeding, got behind ya to check the speed on the front camera and figured it from there.

Most garda cars have been upgraded to that new stuff, and automatically read number plates as cars go past them to check for tax, insurance and nct.

Exactly. The Corminator needs his own show too where the lads narrate!

But they are not adding perks (afaik). At least not in the CoD sense. They will probably readapt the concept they used of armour abilities from Reach where one class can sprint while another can use a jet pack.

Not as extreme as CoD Perks but a friend of mine who is a huge Halo fan stated it may be something like this:

The way I see it, these "Gameplay Changes", won't be the likes of:

-Not appearing on Radar Permanently
-50% quicker reloads
-500% more ammo
-2x Shields

I'd like to think that it would be more along the lines of:

-5-10% quicker reloads
-2-3 Extra Ammo Clips for deployed weapons
-5-10% quicker Shield Recharge
-Jump 5-10% Higher/Further
-Sprint 5-10% quicker

I can't hold out like that, speaking of DLC, the new BF3 DLC sounds awesome, during the summer they will be releasing a vehicle orientated map which is the biggest map in Battlefield history.

Do those brain training games do what they say on the tin? ie actually work?

Actually partly worked on research for developing one for kids with learning difficulties. Some of the research would show that its same as any repetitive exercise , if you keep doing it will strengthen certain parts of the brain.i.e. constantly doing math problems will help your decision making capability.
Generally though the games aren't gonna make you any smarter.The idea behind them is fairly basic and doesn't really take the complexities of intelligence or the multiple factors involved with development into account. Read a book a week on different subjects that you know little or nothing about would be better imo.Generally the games are cack and do little to nothing for people with healthy brains.

they are designed to just keep your brain stimulated..

But in terms of it boosting you IQ etc.. no.. Its just gets you to use your head in a more useful way than standard computer games...

by doing say, division etc over and over you may get better at it... I think its more a novelty really but it is more beneficial than playing a standard computer game.
Good for kids as they are learning/getting better coz it keeps their interest longer than doing standard maths on a piece of paper!

Playing some more CS:GO/CSS yesterday, few deagle rounds.

Apparently you'll not beable to play vs PC players on the PS3 on release now.. probably bad news for PS3 because the reason is that they want to be constantly updating the PC version... hopefully it doesn't end up like TF2 did on console.

Might not be the worst thing. If anyone had a go at trying to play it with dual analogues against pc players it would be hilarious.

well, i think you will still beable to plug in your keyboard mouse.. but yeah.. the ps3 players in general will be pretty bad, with or without a mouse.

If you had to use a controller on ps3 there wouldnt be any difference between console and ps3 players tbh

huh ? i guess you mean pc and ps3 players.

Well it depends, the game probably plays a **** load different on a controller.. but considering that CS along with quake have by far the highest skill ceilings out of all the great competitive shooters.. and its been around for 12 years (A lot of the top players have been playing that long)... general gamesense/map positioning/strats/wallbang spots/nade spots and just generally being far more experienced at shooters than the majority of PS3 players, there would be a HUGE difference between PC and PS3 players, even if they were all on an equal playingfield in terms of control and aiming.

it may as well be called Call Of Duty: The Movie, even the title is similar, Act Of Valor. real US Seals play characters but with real weapons (sometimes even live fire rounds). looks like its definitely marketed at the COD playing crowd.

Gettin' bad reviews but the trailer still gives me bit of a chubby...

The bit in the trailer where the guys creeps out of the water with his hands up to catch the falling body gives me the willies it's so good.
