Video Games & More

Can I just say, I am glad there isn't any snow in the ground anymore in Animal Crossing as I was sick of making snowmen after a week. I know I could of just left it, but I'm one of those people who couldn't!

And secondly, I don't want to know where Brewster get's his Pigeon Milk from! (He is a pigeon himself!) Hmmm...

Its for the hardcore PC gamers

Can some please tell me how I progress with this game!

All I seem to be doing everyday is watering plants, talking to the other folks in the village, shopping and writing letters! Also selling shells, old clothes and furniture to make some money. People do come and go and I use my sling shot to collect presents but that's about it!

Any ideas and tips please!

That would be this feller...

And your's?

Can somebody guess the name of this little guy?He is my favourit video game character.

Teach your kids how money is the 'root of all evil' without having to spend a penny of them!

I also heard this is can be addictive for adults.

We just got this, well a few weeks ago and I have to say it's really amusing and sure keeps your arms fit! I have played some other atheletic games on other consoles but somehow they don't match the quality of this one. You get various sports varying from Gymnastics, Shooting, Archery, Rowing, Atheletics and Dream Events. There's probably a few more I missed but I can't remember them!

One of the best things is you can play as your 'Mii' character and it would keep a record of all the events you've played in and scores. You can also compare yourself with other people from Europe (providing you have internet on your Wii).

I've heard you can get this for the Nintendo DS although it would not be quite the same I'd imagine. I don't think I'd get that one as it would make me lazy!

I rate this 4/5.

For Safriz who posted a few days ago, I had the moderators thingy on by mistake. Sorry. Didn't mean to and now you can post without being censored by me. Cheers.

Thanks Kelly for creating this group,and here is the first blog post .

With processing power equivalent to an Intel 3.2 Ghz processor,this graphics card is probably the fastest on the planet.
ATI are using two GPUs on a single board,with some phenomenal increase in graphics performance.
Although this card is much faster than the Nvidia 8800 ultra,but the gaming performance still lacks behind.This may be due to the games specifically made for Nvidia cards.
After the launch of the PS3,the PC gaming is apparently catching up for the first time.The cell processor in the PS3 runs at 1 teraflops,and same is the speed of this card.
Even the best PC with latest hardware cannot beat the gaming and graphics performance of the PS3.The main reason may be the multi tasking capability of a PS3 cell processor.A PC Processor has currently a maximum of 4 cores in the intel quad core or AMD phenome processors,but a PS3 cell processor got 8 cores.
Can a PC match this processing power? Probably yes.
This ATI HD3870 has two graphics cores.If we use a pair of these cards in Crossfire mode(equivilant to Nvidia SLI),we get 4 graphics cores working simultaneously,and if we are using a Quad core CPU,then we are at the same level as a PS3.In the latest ATI CrossfireX,we can use 4 graphics cards simultaneously.If this card is used in full CrossfireX mode,we may get 8 graphics processors working in Parallel.But there is a problem.The games writen for PS3 are designed to used it's each and every resource.All the 8 processor cores are used simultaneously,and take care of different graphics tasks.
In case of PC gaming,there are not many games written for using all 4 cores of a PC processor simultaneously,and i think there are none that can use Quad GPU if this HD3870 X2 is paired.Most PC games use only one processor core at a time,therefore a single fast processor may be better than a multi core one,in terms of gaming performance,due to software limitations.
The PC gaming has something else in store.Its caaled a PPU,or Physx processing unit.It is not too expensive,and costs around 90 pounds.This piece of hardware takes care of all the realism in a game.The fluid effects,smoke and dust particle movements.The trees swaying,and blasts.Still not very famous among gamers,don't know why.The realism performance of this simple looking card is 100 times better than a PC Processor.
Eventually PC will beat console gaming,with it's enormous resources,and continuous innovations.
The PC may never catch up with console gaming in terms of ease of use,cost effectiveness and stability.Consoles rarely crash,but PC regularly faces hardware or software errors.
But then a PS3 costs around 350 pounds.To use this card at it's best,the resulting PC will cost around 1500 pounds.
So better stick to the PS3 at the moment.
