    Depends on your VCR, but I’d say probably not. You will need a digital input for the signal to the VCR, but it probably won’t have one. You might be able to get around it if the VCR has a SCART in, but it’ll be a bit laborious and might not work.

    SOIA, I’m a little disappointed in you. Clearly this ‘mind games’ tomfoolery is nothing more than a hoax, or a scam to increase some dodgy computer company’s share options.

    How do I know this? Well just try reading the first part of the article again:

    A woman puts on a sensor-studded helmet and, using her brain alone, is able to play a video game, performing actions including opening doors and picking up objects.

    A woman? Using her brain? I thought back in the 1940’s scientists proved beyond reasonable doubt that women only use their minds to think about knitting, kittens, how her husband is always right and knitting little hats for kittens. That’s all.

    The research and article is therefore a sham!

    Okay, just started doing a quick search for Hotels in and around Nottingham and this one popped up:

    The Nottingham Gateway Hotel.

    It’s £49 quid a night for a double room on Friday or Saturday and looks to be pretty nice. Maybe Lensman can let us know what the location is like. I’m not sure if they charge per person, but £25 each for a room sounds like a good deal, that’s providing we can all find somebody to share a room with.

    Duh? WET? That’s a waste of money. Buy one of these:

    You can pick one up these days for about £500. Don’t bother with insurance, road tax or even getting it MOT’d, and then simply hang around outside of nightclubs at 4am saying “You want minicab?” Although your knowledge of London might be a hindrance, so I suggest taking the longest route to any destination or saying “where is this Kings Cross Station?”

    Alzir, when we know who’s going and from where we can start sorting out transport proper. I’m sure there’ll be opportunities to get a lift with someone. Besides, I don’t fancy driving up to Nottingham without anyone to talk to.

    In a worse case scenario WET’ll have to make me a tape of him doing his cabbie routine that I can listen to and occassionally say “you got a point.”

    I wasnt impressed with GITS.. hehe but Talk to me about The Guyver.. not only is he Kick ass.. but he also sounds Like McGuyver! Sweeet!

    Insane never and I mean NEVER compare anyone or anything to Mac McGuyver. The guy is a legend. One week he stopped a chemical armageddon with some chocolate bars the next he escaped from some Serbian terrorists by strapping a couple of cruise missiles to a jeep. There’s NOTHING Mac cGuyver can’t do.

    He also went through a Stargate as well, I think.

    Another series to check out is Last Exile (which crazy ‘ole Jim Cameron has just brought the movie rights too).

    I grew up and stopped watching cartoons.

    Mmmmghey…

    Seen ’em all you crazy Mancurian you.

    Fist of the North Star does indeed kick ass, as does Ninja Scroll. Urotsuki doji I think though is a required taste. I personally prefer the TV shows since they tend to be a little more succinct.

    Cowboy Beebop, Samurai Champloo, Evangelion, Full Metal Alchemist and Ghost in the Shell are some of my faves.

    Isn’t you account with Nildram? I used to have an account with them, but I gave up on them for a similar reason. Also because one of my twatish friends kept doing online competitions that required him to give out other peoples email addresses. The twat.

    Anyway, I think nildram do some kind of premier service where they’ll check your email for spam, although the bloody spammers are now sending out gif’s rather than text emails, so they’re even slipping through Yahoo! accounts.

    Yeah I agree with Insane.

    In fact I calculated that the gaming industry cons ME out of about 3 million quid a year by not implementing and selling a game I thought up, which I’ve not mentioned to them.

    Bastards.

    Too right WET. We have lots of crime in London too, but the rapists, muggers and murderers down here are salt of the earth types. Sure, they might try and mug my wife using a Samurai sword at 1am, but they luv their mums and are never too busy to say ‘hello’.

    Gawd bless ’em says I. Gawd bless ’em indeed.

    LMAO!!!

    There’d better be some more Southerners going otherwise Turks is going to get a right kicking when somebody shouts “Let’s beat the shite out of the Southern fairies!” In situations like that I’ve always thought of myself as a Northerner, although in the interests of fairness I might half-heartedly cheer him on.

    What are the chances of getting the South Coast (and surrounding areas) posse to come along? Plus we’ll need Phartsbury to keep dropping supply crates as we stagger from control point to control point. Sorry, I meant pub to pub.
