I think Donncha over at GamersEurope.com is looking for someone to help them with their reviews, might be worth sending him an email about it.
donncha at gamers europe . com
Might get some free games out of it.

I should be fine, finished college already so I’ll be free, and I’m sure a few of the demonWare lads will also be there.

I picked up a copy for the Resident Evil story, and hadn’t read the magazine in quite some time now. It has changed, and that is really obvious to see with different writing styles, and their review scores aren’t as critical as they used to be.

Your best bet is to check out the jobs section of the main site and see if anyone is looking for animators, and then contact the relevant companies.

I’ll be popping along for an hour between 8.30 and 9.30 for the awards before going on the tear at my end of exams party, so I’ll have my camera with me, I can mail them across to you over the weekend after.
any other suggestions…?[/quote:dc8f96c88a]
Free booze? Strippers? I don’t know. Maybe a birthday cake if someone who isn’t a student with no money (like me at the moment) can bake >:)

I’ve noticed a few through extended play of Pro Evolution Soccer, especially with the goalkeeper. He sometimes gets what I can only describe as a fit and is unable to pick up the ball. It’s annoying, and there are a few other small glitches here and there but they sometimes add to the whole fun of it.

Cheers for that, I’m doing Marketing myself and it brings up some very interesting points that I found very appropriate given my time as a journalist.
It’s very true, there’s always a lull, the January lull, the Summer lull, and I’ve always found that those little titles (like Ico for example) when released with a tiny bit of publicity at a quieter time of year hit the real gamers, not parents looking for a present for their kids around Christmas or when they aren’t in school.

I’ll be finishing my exams on the 2nd, so I should be able to make it to the year anniversary. See yous there.

What I would really like to do, is be able to use PC LAPTOP and XBOX networked anywhere in the house. (hope I explained that properly)
At the moment my PC and ADSL Modem are in one room and the xbox will be in another. I would like to get the laptop networked as well just to round it all off.
I guess I will need one of these
but what else will I need?
Kevin
That makes sense. Ok, well if you want to get a network with three devices going you need to get a hub set up. If you’re going through a hub then the RJ45 straight cable is what you need. You can pick up an 8 port hub cheap and just check out google for how to network it up, it’s fairly straightforward if you’re using anything above Windows ME.
But if you just want to use the laptop you do exactly the same thing as with the PC, you need the network card though. But if you want to use it anywhere in the house, just check out if any of your mates are electricians and get them to network wire your house so you can just plug in in any room. Just think of your phone sockets, you’ll also have network ones. This may involve getting a cheap PC and using it as a network server though.
Jamie
Right, this I can help you with and it sounds like a pain in the a*** to get hooked up, but once you do it’s fine.
Firstly check out http://www.xbox.com/en-ie/live/start/connect/
It’ll tell you how to do it there. The PC version basically means get a network card, loads of twisted (not straight) network cable, share your DSL connection using Internet Connection sharing in Windows and you’re away. Takes a while to get set up, and you have to connect to Esat via your PC every time you want to go online, but plays perfectly.
Also check out these games:
Project Gotham Racing – Excellent
Counterstrike – OK but nothing new
Links 2004 – It’s golf, I hate golf but I love it
Mechassault – Good but full of American kids.Anything else, reply and I’ll help, anyone else my gamertag is Jamie Duffman if you want to add me as a friend.
