I have only discovered this in the last few days but it drives me up the bloody wall!
Its the word leisure and the way some people pronounce it! this american woman was talking in very fluent english and then said "Lee sure" i was like wtf and it escaped my memory... a few days later i was watching a documentary and another woman said the same thing!! "Lee sure"

Well as if my PS3 being busted wasn't bad enough, my old laptop is refusing to start up on me. It just goes to a blue screen as soon as it tries to start up window. Uff! I freakin' hate how technology just arbitrarily decides to stop working.

EDIT: OK, so I think it's sorted. For some reason it had reset all the BIOS settings and was in SATA mode when needed to be in IDE mode. Weirdness.

[MegaGeeza22]

Yesterday I wanted to load my self painted piranha on my psp. It didn't work and I didn't understand why. I tried it again and again, with no success. Flint tried it also at his PC, with the same result. Finally we had a suspicion and Flint gave me his memory card and tadaa... So there must be something wrong with my own one.

Now I have to buy a new memory card (the same Flint has) and all my records, I had collected on my old one, are for the waste!

[MrSmadSmartAlex]

@Rennfisch
Ah, a broken memory stick... had that happen to me before, and I lost a Wipeout Pure save, right after I did 300 laps and set a new record on Odessa Keys, and had to do it all over again.
But if you want to keep your Pulse records (you were talking about Pulse, right?), can you not just copy your Pulse profile from your old memory stick to your new one?
To get to the Pulse profile, plug your PSP into a PC with a USB cable, then go into the PSP folder, then the SAVEDATA folder, and your Pulse profile should be in there, named UCES00465P0000. Copy this folder onto the PC, then just copy it back to the same location on your new memory stick (/PSP/SAVEDATA).
There's probably some easier method using a PS3, but I don't have one, so I don't know.

@MrSmadSmartAlex:

happy, happy, joy, joy

My records are all on the new menory card! Merci, danke, thank you!!

McAfee internet 'security'!!!

seems more interested in selling your crap than actually doing anything. and unless you install its updates it just stops working without telling you,

shouldn't complain really as it was thrown in for free but still, trade descriptions act 'n all!


also the launch of the new ipad. i dont understand it it cost 500 effing quid?!?!? they say they've created a new market? what the overly large expensive phone market or the overly expensive underpowered laptop market

[MetaKraken]

I don't like how my friends send me messages on that they're saying that they're "giving away free PSN redeem codes". It does NOT work, I've tried it before. That kinda irked me on how they send me any kind of message like this.

[Aeroracer]

delete them off your friend list.sound like douchebags to me..better to have no mates than those type of mates

[MetaKraken]

True, except one of the players from my friends list is my cousin (and I can't delete him, even though he made a mistake). D:

[Aeroracer]

ok for your cousin just accidiently spill your coke over his nice white t shirt by accident when you see him..

[MetaKraken]

Haha I'll see what I can do.

EDIT: OK, so I think it's sorted. For some reason it had reset all the BIOS settings and was in SATA mode when needed to be in IDE mode. Weirdness.

I don't know what is causing it but my computers are doing the total reverse of yours, mine are going to IDE instead of SATA.
BIOS wont hold settings.
Then when I get them back working one storage drive decides to start beeping [Dying].

I think I must be suffering some serious problems with power surges during the early morning hours when I'm asleep, loads of those long life light bulbs are crapping out on me and I'm having heaps of PC problems like never before.
I can't take a trick ATM.

Last week I went to build a new PC and bought a new i7-2500k chip, 2 X WD 2TB HD's, a veciloraptor HD for the OS, 8gig of 1333 ram, new case, Win 7 pro 64 and then disaster.
I find out Intel had recalled all 1155 MB's because of a controller chip problem that stuffs up the SATA 3g ports.
So I can't build a new PC till the replacements come back on the market in late March/ April.
I might as well wait until May/June when the Z68 chipped boards come out.
Then I can overclock and have the Intel on board graphics without needing a video card, can't do both ATM with the current H67 or P67 chips, it's one or the other.
It might be a blessing in disguise, I've just got to find a way to fix [keep running] the ones I have till then.

...When you don't die from chain mail. I was told that I was gonna die if I didn't send it on, why wasn't this promise fulfilled?

[Aeroracer]

you dont want to die mdhay..well maybe you do..but try not too cos its wrong..you got lots of stuff you gotta do.we all die in the end so we gotta do as much stuff as possible till our unavoidable death arrives..

chainmails are really annoying..especialy the death threat ones..

my cough is annoying me today it just wont go..its noisy and really bugging me now.

[MegaGeeza22]

Infoxicated closing the football thread...
Football is all about disagreeing, if every football fan agreed then there would be no football. but realistically its all give and take and in the end its just friendly banter.
iv been watching the active members list drop and drop, i wonder why.... if you disagree with somebody here you become an outcast and become ignored.
I feel like its me that causes problems here lol and im sorry if iv ever offended somebody.
I think i will leave the forum now, so if im on your psn friends list feel free to remove me lol.
But good luck to the remaining cup participants. Wipeout is ace

[OBH]

Oh my god, if you have a problem with the way things are done, there's no need to put it in here and get all melodramatic. Can't you just do what I did and send a friendly message to the man himself??
It's no wonder things get closed with all this bs.

edit:
I've just had a browse through other threads and there's a lot of bickering going on in WZ once more...... that time of the year is it?

[KGB]

I feel like its me that causes problems here lol and im sorry if iv ever offended somebody.

Don't worry about it Geeza, we all contributed to it's downfall. Let it go, it's in the past. It was probably doomed from the start anyway .
