New AG racing game - looks like the child of fzero and wipeout - wiiware though. No vids yet but screenshots look interesting.

[Albino Ace]

Hmm...a reason to not sell my Wii just yet, perhaps.

[Z°ⁿε]

ugh another copy cat. Just make a new WipEout lol..

I remind you that the title of this thread is:
General conversation thread: Chat about anything that's not WipEout.
Discussion of WipEout belongs elsewhere.

If discussion of other videogames is going to lead to WipEout as well, it may be best to discuss those in threads of their own instead of in General Conversation.

looking at the paris motor show gubbins
new focus http://www.cardealermagazine.co.uk/p...w-launch/42582

whats the new design obsession to have MASSIVE front grills?(Audi, Citroen, Ford, Volkswagen etc)

the bonnet lines and lighting design make it look ever so slightly like the current models of aston martin. but with a massive gaping hole at the front. like a shocked/surprised smiley :O

A surprised smiley thats also frowning slightly

perhaps its afraid of what all the chavs will do to it when they somehow get hold (steal) one "argggghhhhh there gonna put horrible spoiler kits on me!!!!!"

[mic-dk]

Hopefully it'll eat the spoilerkits and possibly take a few of the chavs fingers if he gets too close!

Audi/VW hopefully stops with the gaping mouths where they are now. I like them. Ford should realise that there's a fine line between a stylish, quite big grille and that whalemouth on the ST. But I bet it's a fun little car and from behind the wheel, you can't see that you're driving Moby Dick!

Ah well, I may just be jealous because I only can afford a 5 year old model...

[Harvai]

Oh god what is that! I think Ford tried to make it look slightly angry but buggered it up somewhere down the line.

If you want a car with a loveable, goofy smile go take a look at the current generation Mazda 3. my mum's got one, it's the happiest looking car I've ever seen.

[Nutcase:259]

atleast they put some effort into making there car look like a gobsmacked whale

unlike audi that seem to just photocopy

You expect lecturers to turn up or something? That'll teach you for going to lectures in the first place, chump! When I was at uni I swear the lecturers were lazier than the students. So many cancelled lectures. Was pretty bad sometimes, especially when it was revision lectures. I remember one time when our lecture was moved to some random room on the top floor of the humanities building (fascinating place for an engineering student - girls everywhere). It took us ages to find it, and when we eventually did, the lecturer hadn't even bothered to turn up. Some people don't like that students these days are acting more like consumers, but I'm glad they are starting to hold lazy and crappy lecturers to account. I wish people had in my year, as some lecturers were completely unprepared, even when they did turn up.

[yeldar2097]

I don't mind them not turning up just so long as I get some form of notification beforehand so I don't waste my time walking places.

Also just found out that as I'm doing Electronic Engineering with Nanotechnology I have to write a 5000 word essay on ethics. Where the hell did they get that from?!

[SaturnReturn]

Probably because everyone thinks nano-robots are going to destroy the world. Is that ethical? In some ways I guess not.

As part of Mechanical Engineering I did business studies, accounting and Mandarin. I think they throw random stuff in to make it seem more interesting, but for me it just made it more boring. The business side helps a bit later on for project management, but really, once you know how to work out the different types of profit and cash flow, the rest tends to be left to people who give a crap.

[mic-dk]

Well nano-robots could destroy the world, just like a virus with a slightly faulty design or a hydrogen bomb with a bad trigger can.

I'm not saying that they exist yet, but given time we could have selfreplicating nano robots that'll eat your liver if you speak german. It may have started as the ultimate Repair Your Oktoberfest pill, but somewhere, something went wrong.

Besides, we really don't need Yeldar turning into a mad nano-scientist, so write your ethics essay, I say!

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Ragarding the nano-bots as a virus,that is possible. A doctor who is treating someone he hates may make nanobots not to treat the patient,but instead kill the patient(In this case,vendetta can kill).I think that is where ethics goes,as far as I know(I think).

[SaturnReturn]

A fart from a giant space creature could destroy the world too, but they still make baked beans.
