I changed the hold button settings so that the hold button only locks the screen. That way with the device in your pocket you can't accidentally knock the screen with it in your pocket but you can still skip tracks and change the volume with the buttons.

Besides you can just turn the beeping off, I always find that totally annoying anyway :)

"Oh look another multi-directional shooter"

That game just so happens to be a sequel to mutant storm, one of the best XBL titles not just 'another multi-directional shooter'.

Seems a little bit of an odd choice as it hardly fits with the rest of the game (it's pretty crazy, even for a concept car). Then again I suppose the others were considered a little to generic, although I do like that 'VR Street Concept' model.

While that is funny I found this one much more amusing:

I saw a live stage preview preview of this on Gamespot during E3 (it's still on the site if you want to look it up). I hardly saw anything to be impressed with, let alone "Best of" quality. It seemed very average in terms of graphics and gameplay and control, I think the best bit was the horse animation.

It's good to finally see some quality titles for the PSP as it's had something of a rough time of it of late. I too have been thinking that Lemmings on the DS would work well, as some reviews have been stating control issues with the PSP version.

A touch screen DS is crying out for some more titles like this and I'm sure there are plent of other classic PC games that would work great too! If only Lucasarts would bring their point and clicks to the system instead of me having to fiddle about with a flash cart emulation (or however you get it working).

ESeamus, we use fossil fuels for two main reasons:

1) At this time it's cheap to produce electricity using this fuel (renewable energy is costly) and

2) More importantly fossil fuels (and Nuclear) offer steady constant power production on a large scale. No renewable power source we have today can offer that. A wind turbine might seem great but you need 1000's of them to replace the output of a single power station and they only work when the wind blows.

Perhaps the future will bring us a clean energy source that can satisfy our huge demand (Fusion power, anyone?) but till then were stuck burning the fossils

Great post tomato, especially regarding the efficiencies of power generation. I think this is something that should probably be brought to the attention of the public more as I?m sure most people don?t know or care to know about this stuff.

The ?I?m just one person mentality? is tricky to overcome and I think the easiest way to get round this is for manufactures to be more conscious of the way they design their products.

If they can make it so that the consumer doesn?t have to worry about the problem then that?s an easier route than trying to lecture the individual into remembering to switch devices on and off. That?s not to say getting manufactures on board is an easy task!

LMAO @ Branewalker

"we can't eradicate all pollution and waste. It's entropy. Focus our efforts on the stuff that makes a difference, and don't waste our breath."

Another flawed argument along the lines of "ah well other stuff produces more CO2 so I'm not gonna be arsed flicking a switch to save some energy"

Not to mention your crazy remarks about breathing, come on, puh-lease! Thats gotta be the worst comparison I've ever seen! I don't know if you've noticed but it's considerably harder to stop breating (and still live) than it is to switch something off when your finished using it.

Wow Zerocorpse, that?s very small minded of you. It's ok for you to waste energy because it's more convenient for you? You may not worry about it now but you?ll be the first to complain when we start to feel the effects of global warming in the future.

Sure it?s only a small amount but when multiplied millions of times that?s a heck of a lot of electricity being wasted, and at the end of the day every little helps. Oh and using the old ?But he pollutes more than me so I don?t care? excuse/attitude really doesn?t cut it, sorry.
