I know, from your posts, that you have knowledge of video games across all platforms and seem to conduct a very full family life ....but my question is, when do you get the time to play them all?

I work full-time during the week, I program in the evenings and at week-ends for clients, you have young children...I have young, working children of 22 and 24 still at home who seem to have lost the use of their arms and legs ... and I get perhaps a once a week session with PC gaming for an hour if I'm lucky.

Please reveal your method:-)

Had one in my spine 5 years ago and since then would never recommend it, even to a friend. Had thirty years of back problems before I saw Dr Watson, yes Holmes don't laugh:-), diagnosis slipped disc - injection of some concoction in an elephantine-sized syringe to lower back. Oh brother did I laugh - 20 minutes of pure, unadulterated 'I don't know what' - it didn't hurt as much, but just felt like an alien life form was growing within my spine.

My life since then has been much improved, the odd 'twinge' but nothing to complain about. What can you expect when you have crushed vertabrae in the lower spine :-)

Thought the Wii version of COD WAW was terrible myself,the control system is useless on it.Would recommend a rent first.Just my opinion but thought I would mention it.

You dont have another platform to get COD World At War on? The Wii version is quite good, but still really a poor cousin to the PC/PS3/360 versions.

Arrrh! How be all me scurvy mates doin'?

ahem. Enough of that. Yes, it's national talk like a pirate day, but I just can't keep it up!

Been busy making my daughter's Thank You cards from her birthday last week. Useful having a load of HP greeting card paper lying around. Still swear by the age old Printmaster Publishing Suite software to create the cards (free with October 1999's PC Format!) I haven't ever found anything better at creating cards since that.
