    I havent had broadband for so long now I am beginning to forget all the fun I used to have on the servers with you guys, miss the COH comps with Spunker especially.

    Good news is that my wee island is getting dragged into the 21st century very soon (months after I was initially promised) – hopefully i will be back on line and can help contribute to the cost/ make up the numbers when i get connected.

    Keep the faith guys 😀

    Saw this a while ago. Couldnt really recommend it myself… kind of dissapears up its own arse at times, but the animation is very good.

    Had a quick shot of this on my in-laws computer the other day. Played fine on his – very smooth at max settings.

    Dont see the point of these kind of games myself… i was quickly bored after killing the umpteenth slave trader in a row,

    Had much more fun playing mario cart on their wii 😀

    Which book did you read alzir? I had another match on Sat night – was kicked out the tourney ealry this time (Ace King is a dangerous hand to have in the hole 🙁 ) but won 70 quid at the cash table. Fricken raking it in! 😈

    Well if you get it custom made you can choose what OS you want… indeed you can opt to have it without an OS.

    Agree… very annoying when manufacturers try to get away without giving you the disks… most of the specialist/ good ones dont do so…. most of the high street sellers and big brands… not so good.

    Hmmm maybe this book is useful…. I just came 2nd in the local texas hold em tourney out of 30 people. Made about 80 quid…. not bad for someone who has only played 5 games! My total winnings over those games is now over 200quid on a 65 quid outlay!

    Ave it!

    Hmmm – I churn this out with every laptop query…. but here goes.

    Why buy from Alienware? You pay a huge premium for some dubious aesthetics and a brand name. I have heard a lot of bad things about their customer service also.

    Consider buying from a cheaper name who can probably give you similar specs.

    The US dollar is poor compared to the pound so it makes a lot of sense to buy your laptop from the states like I did… theres no import tax to pay, just VAT. Very high spec laptops custom built your preference.

    Not sure how the economics work out with the euro – but I suspect there will still be savings to be made.

    Lol Old phart… the scary thing is your post could be amusing pastiche… or an actual ‘ day in the life’ you posh git 🙂

    Excellent review SOIA – I will take your advice and avoid. I am about to do an amazon order actually – what book by bukowski did you recommend? Post Office? I just checked some reviews of his stuff and I might give him a go.

    Munkee… Granada is a top place – I went to Spanish school there and had a blast… exploring the albaicin and the alhambra palace. The tapas in the bars is the best in spain I am lead to believe.
