PSP's

WOW PSP's are cool!

This is by far the sexiest and sleekest handheld gaming console on the market. Although not yet available in the UK ( Current Release Date 01/09/2005 ), I would suggest getting a pre-order in now or getting one sent from america.

While your at it HOT games for the PSP are

Lumines - thoroughly addictive
Archer Macleans Mercury - Gorgeous graphics, simple yet addictive gameplay
Wipeout Pure - classic wipeout in the palm of your hands

The only downside to PSP's - the fantastic screen, it shows finger prints very easily, but the screen is fantastic and easily beats the DS or GameBoy Advance SP.

This is a MUST buy for any gamer.

Worlds Shortest Personality Test

You are elegant, withdrawn, and brilliant. Your mind is a weapon, able to solve any puzzle. You are also great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs. For you, comfort and calm are very important. You tend to thrive on your own and shrug off most affection. You prefer to protect your emotions and stay strong.

Unreal Map Ideas

Onslaught needs maps for fewer players! Speaking as someone who can play regularly but with a limit of 4 players the maps can be a bit large and with vehicles like the leviathon pretty much a forgone conclusion if one side gets it first and can use it fairly well.

Ideas for small maps

small maps - simple link setups

N3 N1 --------------- BPC


Various vehicle setups can be used on these.
Restricting the types of vehicles for smaller maps make them more interesting.

For example:
No leviathon - TOO big and pretty industructible
No SPMA - just plain boring sat there launching rockets via sattelite

Manta - always good fast and responsive
Scorpion - nice little buggy good for maps like tricky - especially for getting the redeemer. :)

Goliath - nice heavy artillery slow moving but powerful.

Circada - basically when used correctly a flying goliath :D
Raptor - nice little flying vehicle - fast and with a decent selection of weaponary

Hellbender - great for throwing yourself off hills in a fantastic way. Weapons are good and reasonable speed.

Idea for mutator

Vampire for vehicles? not sure if this has been done or not

GT4!!!

What a fantastic game, i am only just over 50% of the way through it. But it is absolutely breathtaking. The details put into the cars is fantastic!

This game is well worth the full price, as the amount of game time needed to complete it is HUGE. Not like most games where you can complete the entire thing in just over 48hrs. This game has at least 3 24hr races, of course these are made easier with the new B-Spec mode.

A very definite 10/10.

First Thought

yup thats right, 25 and i have just had my first thought.... except i've forgotten it!!
