poke50uk commented on Just Spend £50 And Sing On A USB Mic

Mon, 26 May 2008 19:21:53 MDT

me.. preordered and got day before release with Asda..
£109 for drums + game + free DHL delivery (360 edition)!
i didnt think it was too bad considering I did get GH2 for only £5 (only cost £2 to fix the CD, and got the controller too!) and GH3 for £50 (staff discount and a week early + that controller) - so my saving in the other 2 means i can spend a little more on drums.. but the USB mic.. i'll get one at some point.. my USB plantronics one doesnt work with the 360 and the xbox wired headset is good enough for now with me and my carp singing :P

Im in, as a grad designer..

I got the jist- that they dont particually like grads from straight games design courses (limits creativity - you pick up your lecturers ways).. same for appling for coders and Art

I did Physics & Space Research (has c++ course in it) and did the Art in my spare time.. as well as working for gamestation.. course the passion is there too :P

I like it, shocking, hunkey man <3, memorable, and trying to get the the point that the ps3 is well formed (though the mans gentials are awfully designed.. cancers, issues with some mens shapes, the ball sack, riding bikes)
I think its a tasteful photo unlike most "erotica"

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 08:38:43 MDT

Gauntlet's always great, even single player is good for just level munching (similar people enjoy level crunching too :P ), don't normally like classic incarnations, but this one sounds excellent :D

rofl..
and this is why I imported my Jap copy (£32.95).. and got a Jap wii (£80) with a mod chip
as well as my PAL wii
tbo.. the "story line" is text/voice less anyways, theres nothing to translate in it par from menus.. so I probably wont get my PAL version now..

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 07:20:33 MST

Me = Phsyics grad.. going into the industry.
wadge = 16K for junior designer.. even though I do art and code.. and its in an expensive area!
People wonder why the Physics people don't go into the games industry ¬_¬ I could start on 24K working for Aldi!! 26K for BAE systems or working at NASA. Its onlt cause its my dream job that Im taking it... but its a riduculas squeese considering that theres my partner that will have to find a new job too in the area and we both have to relocate.. and the student loan hits hard after 15K. Lucky my parents, though arn't rich.. really want to help out with the first months rent and deposit.. where on earth will I find 1.5K when Im already 1.4K into my overdraft ¬_¬

ads been on for a while now.. but guiding a missile with the wiimote is more than a little risky if you move at all - like if a bomb went off near you.. or you had to evac.. or sneeze :P

This game is import worthy.. I got it on realease and havent put it down.. Ive had to translate one word... the rest I can guess from years of experiance of playing Zelda.. or just being smart. I don't know a word of japanease either and I think Im most of the way through the game..
