Congrats on getting that, I’m sure you’ll be able to find some talented (Irish) people when you kick off development.

I got SOCOM in, and the voice recognition works very well in it, even when you switch players, but mind you all it consists of is you holding down square and saying a sequence of words ie.. TEAM DEPLOY FRAG, or TEAM AMBUSH TO CROSSHAIRS, but it’s interesting, and the game isn’t too bad either. Cant wait to give the online version a try.

Cheers for all of them, I’m going to hit Amazon and check out what I can pick up there, as I went to Easons and they’ll charge a fortune to get them and it’ll take weeks.
Jamie
Yep, I’m interested as I’ll be bored on trains for quite a bit this summer and I’ll be looking for things to do.
How do I sign up?
Jamie
Well when i get back from destroying Europe I’m going to be picking up a rake of books, so I’ll let you know if I come across anything interesting.

I’ll take the fact that it was made before I was born into consideration, but if anyone else tries it…
Well i’m a wee bit younger than most of you guys on this board, but it all kicked off when I played Monty on the Run and Dizzy on the C64 back in the day (for me). Then Duck Hunt which I still get out every now and again, I honestly swear that that gun is the most accurate ever made!
Best Moments:
Taking out 2 tanks with a pistol in multiplayer Halo
Playing Mechwarrior 2 & Warcraft over Kali
Discovering Brighton & Hove in Ultimate Soccer Manager for the first time
Seeing Kano’s fatality in the arcade Mortal Kombat for the first time
Playing Quake online before all the broadband heads took it over with their superfast pings
Playing the 1st Resident Evil in the dark and having those bloody dogs jump through the window.
Worst Moments:
Having to review Jimmy White’s 2: Cueball for the PSOne. We got two copies in and used them as frisbees out the back, and also on that note having utter shyte coming in that I had to spend a couple of hours playing and then work out how to put my hatred into words
The morning after Havok’s party in London last year and having to wake up on a bus in the middle of London, clueless and hungover as to where we were.
Having to deal with Nintendo UK’s PR people who pretty much don’t consider Ireland a part of their ‘pan-european campaigns’ or even recognising our existance

Eggman, don’t worry about it >:)
Anyway, stranger things have happened than creating new genres, and it will probably happen in a stereotypical way anyway, on the back of a beermat in a drunken haze down at the local, which is never a bad thing because plenty of my own good ideas for other things have turned up in my wallet with no recollection of how they got there except that I could just about read my own scrawl.
Pete, cheers for letting us know, i’ve checked out the site and it’s looking good. Maybe they’ll be looking for some marketing people up in Muff next year around when my placement is due.
Well that now has two companies working on pc development that I know of, Kapooki and Torc, and I saw one of Torc’s older (I think their 3rd) engines in action and it was pretty funky.

Came across another broadband supplier, Netsource formerly ClubI
They’ve similar prices as the other two, but they don’t have a download limit, and seem to be aiming for SOHO’s and SME’s. Might be worth a look

Sounds good >:)
I did get a text today from O2 about this N-Gage challenge they are running, so they’re letting everyone on their network have a go.
