h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Gears 2 arrived today, so played that for a bit. No Retro Lancer (they didn't arrive 'til 3) and no 'strange gun' (no idea what it was called) that you could have 780 bullets for either. Need to find new best friend (after the Lancer, natch ).

DA Boyz came tonight.

One of them has got a Final Fantasy VII emulator on his laptop. Claims he can finish it in 25 gameplay hours.

Well, he probably could if he accesses all the cheats - which can fully upgrade all his characters without having to 'grind', not bother trying to get all the items to make the summon materia or even try an find some of the best summons and 'reset' Sephiroth to virtually no hit points (possibly).

Gah!

How did it come to this?

I played the game on the Playstation for 150 hours. That very same son 'overwrote' it with his own, 30 min game save, so I had to start again. I decided to get *everything* all Summons, all playable Characters - Yufi and Vincent were ones that you you could 'miss'. I think when Sephiroth drew his last breathe and everyone who had died was able to 'return to the planet', I'd spent the best part of 250 gameplay hours on it.

The youth of today, no staying power.

In other news, you've gotta feel sorry for Norwich. Poor buggars. Their bums were thoroughly chewed yesterday by the boys in blue. 7-nil.

Gonna play some Worms today. I hope the one we're playing has the 'Inflatable Scouser' in it

Poor Canaries...

Nice piece of insensitivity BMT

I have a soft spot for Norwich, especially the unforgettable Delia roaring 'Let's be 'avin you' at the game against Man City. Proper football fan that, although I think the pictures at the time photoshopped out the pie in one hand and the beer in the other.

And what that woman could do with eggs, deliacious.

Mention of 'Worms' reminds me I have a megadrive version I must hook out sometime now the nights are drawing in.

You've gotta feel sorry for the bloke that place a bet (at 125-1) that City would win 7 - 0 and that Sergio Aguero would score the first goal (it was deemed an 'own goal' by Bradley Johnson instead)

What is this Gears game about?

[Amy P]

I will attempt to get my translation of this thread later..inflatable scouser..that Ricky Tomlinson? lol

Gears?

The world has been invaded by aliens, humans kill 'em. Several times. Not much else happens. But it is *fun*.

Not as *fun* as the 'inflatable scouser' http://worms.wikia.com/wiki/Inflatable_Scouser but a fairly close second

Thanks for the enlightenment. I've learned so much today!
