    My guess at the owners of those cars :BMW Z4 : Boss

    Lotus Elise : Producer

    Black sports car to the left : Boss and producers weekend ride

    Minivan : shared by modelers, graphical artists, level designers, sound engineers, programmers, QA, office cleaner, tech guy, concept artists etc.

    :wink:

    Hahaha.

    Sounds like you just need more friends.

    Phones haven't just been phones (in the UK) for years. I can't even remember the last time I heard a ringtone that wasn't a song/mp3/etc, and I use the train twice a day and hear them all the time. Hardly anyone uses non-song ringtones, so not being able to tick that feature off is going to make the iPhone a laughing stock in this market to a lot of people.

    No video recording or picture messaging is also completely laughable, with the sending of them between friends being a foundation of having a social life these days. Plus it's just downright handy being able to catch something on film spontaneously, like when an office fight erupts. :cool:

    Considering the iPhone is largely being coveted by image-conscious young people, it seems insane that these rudimentary features aren't included. It's not going to do well in this market if it remains that way, with it being an incredibly competitive market in the UK.

    I'd probably have a similar opinion if I couldn't get an extremely high-end phone for at the very most a third of what the iPhone is liable to cost.

    I especially like Apple fanboy comment #5485723583:

    No songs as ringtones is a feature, not a bug. Apple correctly understood how annoying they are for everyone else.

    But of course there's plenty more gold in the comments!

    I am putting forth no opinion other than this, and am merely passing on information so buyers may make an educated purchase decision.

    If just Microsoft could automate a system where the 360 automatically calls 360 support and they sort it all out, then I wouldn't be that pissed

    Really?

  • New GTA IV trailer!

    Looks good, but I hope the gameplay has been given some love. I was massively bored long before I finished San Andreas, realising a lot of the gameplay in the three GTA3 games is the same shit.

    Well, I suppose it depends on your taste. I've personally not seen any compelling titles released for the Wii since the launch, and that was Twilight Princess which was more a GameCube game than not. The party/casual games wear thin way too quickly for me, and I'm sure a lot of Nintendo enthusiasts are slightly ashamed to admit they think the party/stuff is a bit shit too even though on paper they love the idea.

    Granted, some excellent-looking titles are on their way such as Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros Brawl, and inevitably Mario Kart (the first-party games are mostly why I buy Nintendo consoles, much like one might buy a Mac ). The superb games that will come are almost guaranteed to make the purchase worthwhile, but as usual I'm feeling the grind as an early adopter.

    Even back on the N64 we had GoldenEye after a few months (I think) and various decent titles like Turok to pass the time with.

    It's kind of insane just how widespread 360 breakdown reports are. I mean, just how does it manage to piss up so frequently? Did they skip QA or something?

    Pretty much every console has a drought of titles upon launch, resulting in console dust -- it's the price early adopters pay. Surely we haven't all forgotten how everybody was lambasting the 360 for its huge lack of compelling titles during its earlier days?

    That said, the Wii does seem to be experiencing a slightly longer drought than normal, which I suspect is a combination of a lot of publishers initially being quite sceptical about the whole Wii concept and the hardware not being up to scratch for 360/PS3 multi-platform releases without a lot of effort.

    I think any serious gamer who doesn't prefer PC games will end up getting a 360 or PS3 simply for the greater game variety and visually rich experience. I know I will, and I do prefer PC games and have a Wii.

    Yeah, sometimes the emails don't go out for no apparent reason. Mojo might want to add something to the "Thanks for registering" page that says "Email me if it fails plz. :D".

    When I see a guy with a shaved head on the train to work I always have secret thoughts in my head that he's a neo Nazi. For some reason my brain has those connotations and I can't get rid of them!!

    The Hitman film is nothing to do with Uwe Boll, just to clarify that.

    Sony has pretty much always been a follower when it comes to technology and ideas. Didn't you notice?
