Vinyl. Better sound quality and it's more vintage. Stereo or Headphones?

Anyone know the system requirements for this yet? Got a feeling my motherboard will need a complete upgrade just to play this...

Premier Inn by a country mile. Mars or Snickers?

You both need to get to Subway asap. It's a hell of a sandwich you're missing out on.

It's from ages ago and has since expired. It was literally a job opening for the Creative Team itself...which certainly got me excited even though I didn't have the experience.

Right, I've just returned from college in a foul mood. I'll say why here because I REALLY need to get it out of my system: Basically I've been studying IT for two years and I'm now approaching the end of my second and final year. But recently I've been having some doubts about what I've let myself in for and how this is relevant to the future I want...if it's going to get me there anyway. First of all, let's start with my parents. I know I'm partly at fault here for somehow giving them the right to urge a decision I should be making myself...but my college does a course for Computer Aided Design - pretty much a one way ticket to my future ambition, which for the record is to be part of the creative team over at Merlin Magic Making. I know from a job opening I've seen that they're after people with experience in 3D, interior and exhibition design...which is just the sort of experience I would get in a CAD course...if my parents had actually thought wisely and let me take the course, rather than stand there flapping their wrists claiming "Oh no that course revolves around kitchen design! That has nothing to do with ride design!". Yes, they are partly correct here; kitchen design IS part of the course...but it also happens to be the SELLING POINT of it!!! And furthermore I don't care if it has nothing to do with ride design! All I care about is the experience I'd get from it. But no, no matter how much I persuade, they'll always believe in the "mother/father knows best" bullsh*t, and as a result, I've been sold into an awful course I lost interest in ages ago...and as of today, no matter how hard I try I am now travelling down the wrong path at a million miles an hour towards FAILURE. All because my last assignment in one of the units HAS to contain a practical task using a CPU simulation program - which by the way I have absolutely no clue on how to use, yet my tutors, having left me with some crappy handouts, are pretty much shrugging their shoulders saying "Well if you can't do it, that's your problem. Have fun!". Great. Well isn't this a lovely alternative path?!! Instead of doing a course I could've enjoyed, at the same time as going in the right direction towards my career, I am now stuck with a stupidly complicated life consisting of college (assignments AND exams), driving theory prep and a job...at the same time as wondering what the bloody hell I'm going to do next year which will turn me back in the right direction. All because of ONE stupid decision which I am certainly going to regret for the rest of my miserable life!

Bringing a +1, a mate from college, with me to this one, folks!
Furius Baco by a fingernail. Walmart or Costco?
Telekinesis. M&M's or Smarties?
Nah Planet Coaster all the way.
'The Part Where He Kills You' is undoubtedly my favourite chapter in Portal 2. Really does take me to the edge of my seat...partly thanks to the music: ...and totally not forgetting the other reason why I love this chapter...especially if it's your first time playing GLaDOS: "Well, this is the part where he kills us..." Wheatley: "Hello! This is the part where I kill you!" *Chapter 9: 'The Part Where He Kills You'* *Achievement Unlocked: 'The Part Where He Kills You'*
Here's the livestream on the rides. Couldn't be more excited about the rides that are revealed here! Hopefully more will be added in future though; drive wheels (for stations especially) and lowering floors for suspended coasters maybe? Other than that it looks incredible
Thought I'd plug two more in: They say a remake is never better than the original, but as much as I love the main theme for Fallout 4, it is pretty debatable once you've heard the Spinner remix: Also, definitely agree with Equoaster's appreciation for the music in Super Mario Galaxy. I've always known that game to have some incredible orchestra...particularly Gusty Gardens Galaxy. Honestly it makes me so happy to own a copy of both games
Happy birthday Thorpe Park and Martin.C!
Trains look great. However the roar from the original version was what made the ride what it was (really felt like the fury of the Hulk). Not really a fan of the green and black either. Preferred it as green and purple for the trains and the cannon. The green just looks too repetitive nowadays... ...but other than that the ride still looks great and I can't wait to ride it if it's open!
...and a thumpin' dangerous one!
Thanks for the warning. Definitely not reading that article!
