Too much info on a Friday morning pete : p
I have finished downloading the BETA, installed it this morning and just drove about the "main area" for a minute, will give it a full look this morning.
Was out for a couple of beers last night and played some Vandal Hearts before, really like it. The whole system seems to work well, plenty of characters it appears and generally a nice SRPG (graphics are good for Arcade aswell!)
So have we all got big plans for the weekend??

I've done 2 mortgages myself (1st house fell through days before completion) after I found out how much money supposedly independent advisors take out of the deal.I used the forum on Money Saving Expert for help and advice.Some really clued up guys on there,if there's anything you want to know post a question on there.There's loads of 'I'm a first time buyer with a xx% deposit and an income of xxxx what are the best deals around' type of questions.We only bought our house in October last year and decided to go for 5 year fixed rate deal (interest rates can hardly go down can they ?) as I worked out what would happen to the repayments when the rates go back up (which they must do really ?).Had to pay a bit up front for this deal but at least I know we can afford the repayments for the next few years.Also would advise avoiding endowments and the like been stung with one of those a few years ago,due to an advisor who steered us onto it (obviously due to his commission).Would only be looking at repayment plans TBH.Another good site to have a look at is Money Supermarket can compare deals with different lenders on there.I wouldn't be afraid of doing the mortgage yourself,there's really very little to it.Most lenders have helpdesks where someone will actually talk you through filling in the forms if required.It's honestly pretty easy,after all these companies will help if they want your business.Would seriously recommend the MSE forum though,there's some really clued up guys over on there.
Hope this helps mate and good luck.

Morning.
Modnation Racers still not finished downloading last night, that's the problem with a slow internet connection. (I personally think BT should sort out some sort of boosting station for the exchanges nearer to houses that are further away, I'm sure there is something they can do there).

Sounds a bit like a virus.

Home from work! Yay!
Really manic - didn't even know I'd won until I got back as every computer in our place seems to have gone weird. We have one that displays a pop-up box with nothing but the word "fAIL" and an OK box. IThat one also lost the internet. Our main scanner won't connect to 2 of the networked machines it is meant to, but it connects to everything else. Our image PC takes about 2 minutes to load up google (running on a 1GPS cable). One of the other office PCs keeps displaying a message that the Chassis has been open, but it hasn't and we (nor IT support) can clear the fault and our other scanner keeps displaying a pop up from the HP printer asking for us to update. There is nowhere to find a place to switch of these requests. Also it now won't let us burn our Archive discs... £150 a year tech support PER COMPUTER and they've all gone on the blink.
Still, gotta love the nhs!
Plus planning on making a "yardlong" subway tomorrow with a voucher for 3 footlongs for £10.99. That's if I make it - seem to have come down with a bug...hopefully not the nasty Noro one :(

I downloaded the trial game of vandal hearts and loved it. Had some points left over so got the full game. Well worth a look

Yes, when the places are gone it will disappear from the store.
It was in the top row of "Latest" for me, downloading now which I assume means that it's still available as of now. Thanks for the heads up otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it.
