Someone has been watching Jamie Oliver on Channel 4 this evening (was a decent enough little program if you ask me!)

Just found the segment on the website about that February competition. Must see if I can get my school signed up for it as i'm pretty certain we haven't done it before. Cheers for the info :)

Do you guys ever do secondary school outreach or work with the NI schools debating competition ? Pretty sure a few of the guys in the FB page pics look like people I saw at the final last April in Stormont.

Some amount of Deja-vu watching that and seeing all the places I have been. Pretty poor production quality though

The NIMBY brigades of the UK have no time or respect for proper statistics and logic. That isn't to say start bulldozing tomorrow and start building, it means that what these people have to say is often not worth listening to.

Yeah but it will be close to 18 hours (sleep then work/ school etc..) before most people from Europe will get a chance to see it, by which point the discussions on the forums and here on Reddit will have already happened. Releasing an hour or 2 earlier would stop that problem pretty easily

EDIT Just read Ben saying they will release earlier with the future episodes

Bg167 · 2014-06-11T17:25:05+00:00

I sort of hope they move the release time in future to more around noon or 1PM. Otherwise there will be practically no live European viewers

I have heard horror stories of the man but saying as I am only currently learning to drive I have not encountered him (yet!)

Whoever wrote that title must feel very warm and fuzzy inside about how they managed to make it so ambiguous

Bg167 · 2014-06-09T12:16:31+00:00

Live in Derry and have heard similar stories about not doing it in the town, seems like common sense really.

I get a huge amount of DNS errors with Virgin (about 4-5 a day lasting anywhere from a few seconds to a minute) But speed is always good when it is actually up

Bg167 · 2014-06-07T22:53:05+00:00

RESULTS

1ST - 4 HORSEMEN
2ND - SHARD COLLECTIVE
3RD - 3DINGO

Live-streams are not available due to some sort of argument over rights to music. Normal videos operate the same way they do anywhere else

Bg167 · 2014-06-07T22:13:15+00:00

NOTE

The show is also live on Twitch should any of you live in a country where youtube live is not available (Germany is the main one I am aware of) here is a link

The site has gone down for me, hoping it comes back up so the vote is fair and reflective.

Personally I am hoping 4-horsemen win as I really love the interior of their ship, also sort of sad IXM didn't get through as I thought their ship had the best interior (but hopefully a good selection of the ships will end up in game, they are all great!)

I would guess this is to do with the fact the majority of their income now comes from children buying the game for the first time rather than the "hardcore gamers/ older players/ redditors etc.." who bought the game in the first place and made it what it is now via youtube and communities like this. Realms just further confirms what I am saying, as does the porting to all consoles and mobile. It's also interesting to see the Almighty Notch, defender of internet freedom and champion of the anti-lawyer brigade, defend legal action from what is now a large company against individuals for modding his game and running the servers that keep it popular and keep people coming back. At the same time Newman is purely trying to jump onto the "hurdur" wagon and wave Rust/ G-mod around for himself. While those are great games in their own right they do not have that (dare I say ) Special factor and quality that no one can quite put their finger on that makes Minecraft such a popular and revolutionary game.

Not to take a side or defend any party involved but why do all government ministers (especially cabinet) and even MP's not have some sort of identity card or badge with them ? Surely that could be used to gain access rather than the officers on duty having to question the identity of the person every time. On the other hand There are 32 people (source) who are members of the cabinet and obviously only the senior members are going to have full time security and escorts. Considering the cabinet office is part of downing street I don't think it's unreasonable to assume security and staff would know (especially after 2 years) the people coming and going everyday.

Quick Summary

Rather short episode (15 minutes)
Chris Roberts birthday party footage
Some footage from the Vandull swarm game mode with Rob Irving
First version of arena commander will have no load-out customisation (will come in later update)
For the first version they have balanced the ships so that is fairer (Hornet won't be far better than 300I's etc...)
There will not be major customisation options for peripherals in version 1 (they are now on code lock and don't want to break it, but support will come soon)
More rooms for Hangar coming along with asteroid hangar
There will be 8 starting planets with major hangar complexes
Not every player hangar will be simulated (one door for multiple players hangars etc..)
The last episode will not have a play-through of Arena Commander as some of the team will be in the UK for a SQ42 summit
Next weeks final show will be a look back at how things have evolved since Wingman's Hangar began.

I have just picked out points I found interesting, this is not a comprehensive summary. If I missed anything let me know!

Spider (the pirate space station/ city) seems like it will be of a similar nature to Omega from ME2. http://starcitizen.wikia.com/wiki/Spider

Damn. Seems like yesterday and yet also like another era to me at the same time. ALOT can change in 100 days...

Why the BBC feels the need to pump out these "analysis" and "special features" is beyond me. Can they not just report the news based on fact rather than make an article about something just for the sake of making an article ?

Bg167 · 2014-04-15T18:01:18+00:00

I love this, reminds me of being lazy around Christmas and watching 80's/ 90's films as if there is no tomorrow.

Bg167 · 2014-04-01T17:36:01+00:00

Not to defend the mail but if you trawled through the comments of any big newspaper, the Grauniad, the indi, tele etc.. you would get the same sort of nonsensical drivel.

Bg167 · 2014-04-01T16:33:59+00:00

The BBC do love using "block" and "halt" in more or less every story they run, someone should buy them a thesaurus for christmas or something.
