    Photobox Canvas

    ^^ Suits canvas beautifully, we're touring South West USA for 3 weeks this Summer so it will be nice to get some non-NYC shots for other rooms.

    Photobox Canvas

    Arrived about 6 days after we ordered, pretty good going considering they state they may be slower during special offer periods. We considered acrylic but it wouldn't really go with our living room, the F1 pic might have looked cool but it would have been very expensive. You can see the texture...

    'Alien Green' R8 V10

    Stunning, shame there aren't more in 'interesting' colours, as that looks superb. R8 GT in Liquid Yellow with Carbon contrasting would be preeedy.

    Photobox Canvas

    We've been thinking about which pic to use for our main wall feature for a while now, after 6 months or so of never being sure, we actually ended up going back to our original favourite and decided to go for it two weeks ago. A few weeks ago the size we wanted was £101 (42" x 18"), but we...

    Split second

    Bought Split/Second last night, it's an absolute riot. Not sure how long it's going to last but it's stunningly well balanced, this review sums it up for me, near perfect arcade-handling model with surprising depth to it. I completed Season One, the Elite Race should convert anyone who...

    Cracked Windscreen

    How quick are Autoglass usually? I filled out the online form on Monday and chose a slot next Tuesday, got called back at 9pm last night and was told they couldn't come out until June 8th. Only problem is, my MOT is due June 7th and the crack is in Zone A, so insta-failure even though it's tiny...

    Super Mario Galaxy 2

    Check out this Youtube channel... http://www.youtube.com/user/MahitoYokota#p/c/4/37MbZFWunE8 Good to see they've not lost the ability to create insanely good soundtracks. Odd thing is, despite all the 10/10s and 'one of the best game ever' type comments, very few 'real', *cough*, 'gamers'...

    Railworks [PC]

    I think I can beat that, I enquired about a game I spotted in GAME a while back on a gaming forum, the editor sent me a copy for amusement value (oddly he had no intention of reviewing it) It's weirdly therapeutic, but by far the best bit is the manoeuvring when you reach the depots etc, bit...

    Forza 3 100% complete at last

    Sure is, especially considering (assuming you have LIVE) that multiplayer races against 7 identical AI are infinitely more enjoyable/challenging than the races in the Event List.

    D300 + cheap lenses? or 350D + expensive lenses?

    I agree with this, although my D90 is a lot nicer to use than my D50, if I had the choice of my D50 and some nice fast glass, or my D90 and a fairly standard lens...I would go with the D50 and decent glass every single time with a seconds hesitation. The body is realistically going to make...

    Sneaky natural pics

    One small but important thing that I struggle with...look confident. If you're actually sneaking around trying to grab pics unknowingly, people pick up on that and immediately stop acting naturally. If you stand there in plain view and snap away confidently you will be surprised by how few...

    Lens Recommendations.

    Sigma 50-150 2.8? It's the best walk-around lens I've owned and I'm saving my ass off to buy another before I go away for the Summer. It's basically a 70-200 for the digital age, extremely compact but takes a beautiful photo. A few shots from mine...

    FAO Lee... F1 Championship

    The weather thing is interesting given that the tracks were not scanned for the game. Surely the F1 teams could have pipped in a few quid to have every track properly built? ;) Then with the stunning weather/water engine in the game they could have had an extremely realistic view of how...

    EA - ARE YOU HAVING A LAUGH?

    But the consumers affected by this aren't giving EA a single penny, it's all profit for the retailer. Buy it new and life goes on as normal, enter your code and never think about it again. Only pre-owned buyers are affected, they cost EA money if anything, as they will be the stragglers using...

    EA - ARE YOU HAVING A LAUGH?

    It's not EAs problem either, the second-hand sale doesn't make them a penny, but does potentially lose them a new purchase because GAME etc push pre-owned stock so agressively (often only at a few pounds under the new price). It's a unique situation as no other media shares 50%+ of its floor...

    EA - ARE YOU HAVING A LAUGH?

    GAME etc are to blame for this for taking the piss with their second-hand prices (although to be fair, "we" are to blame for paying these prices) and pushing second-hand stock over new. The second-hand market used to be fairly easy-going, but now GAME devote more than half of their floor space...

    Funny how we're discussing one of the best handling 'everyman' cars ever designed, and yet 99% of the ones posted here look pretty much undriveable ;)

    Forza 3

    I sooooooo want a Morgan Aero Supersport in the game. I'm guessing a small British manufacturer isn't going to be high on their radar though. Would be surprised if they somehow manage to squeeze the Caparo in, considering the game apparently can't manage exposed suspension (hence the complete...

    GT5

    If they tweaked the current engine, so the graphics remained pretty much the same but found more room for 'proper' advancements, I'm sure it would be worthwhile. I hate the perceived necessity of having to make it look nicer (which eats a ton of resources whilst they could be working on physics...

    GT5

    Would be funny if T10 could get Forza 4 out before GT5. Assuming they start work on it soon, they could do it.

    GT5

    Staggering... http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/about-90-percent-of-gran-turismo-5-is-done If this doesn't turn out to be the defining racing game of all time, and at least 50% better than Forza 3 in every possible way, then frankly they've wasted at least the past couple of years.

    F2 crash

    Quote from the driver... "At first all I was thinking was angry at him, then I realised I was up in the air and turning - when I looked down and thought 'I can see all the cars down there!'

    Forza 3 Solid Gold Achievement

    Nope, Event List is fine for the achievement, but imo it's best to play via Season Play up to Level 50 first. It would take hundreds of hours to complete it all through Season Play as you would be repeating the big Championships every time.

    Forza 3 Solid Gold Achievement

    Once you've reached Level 50 there is no point in Season Play, you may as well start attacking the Event List if you ever want to 'finish', otherwise you will be repeating quite a few Championships. I stopped bothering after the logical conclusion of Season Play, mainly because it's a massive...

    Will this lense work with a D50 ???

    Pretty much every Nikon lens ever made will work on a D50, it had the same mount as the Pro Nikons of that time. Therefore, you don't actually need a lens with an internal motor to get auto-focus. As vibrio has mentioned above, 'AF-S' (Nikon), 'HSM' (Sigma), and iirc, 'IF' for Tamron denote...

    What stage of photography are you in?

    My knowledge has been fairly consistently along the bottom the whole time, the technical aspect of photography is white noise to me, can't stand it. Quality of my photos hasn't really changed for several years now, the only thing that changes is how bothered I am to go out and actually take some...

    When is the next XBOX/PS3 etc due?

    Agree, new gen of consoles = the same games with updated graphics. I like the longer time scales we've settled into, means we get a bit more creativity coming through as the consoles become established.
