Racism in Forza…. Sad lives people lead.

By Gavin Mannion
July 3, 2007 - 19 years ago

  Living in South Africa makes racism something that is impossible to get away from. It is undeniably one of the most disturbing aspects of human culture and one that can easily destory entire communities. Luckily in SA so far we seem to have very few outright racists in the online community and on the few rare occasions where it rears it’s …

July 3, 2007 - 19 years ago

I have just seen one of the most pointless videos ever… But you know you are going to push play anyway… It’s a comparison between the loading times of Rainbow 6: Vegas on the Xbox 360 and PS3… The blurb above where I first saw it thinks the PS3 version actually loads faster even though it takes longer to load… …

July 2, 2007 - 19 years ago

Well today is a big day of learning for me personally….

So the global server Resistance patch finally made it to the market and guess what… It kills the online ability of the game, now everyone is getting “Network Connection Failed” error messages when trying to play online.

There is a new trailer out for PS3 home which goes into a little bit more detail than the previous versions.

Don't plug your 360 into a surge protector

By Gavin Mannion
July 2, 2007 - 19 years ago

Well according to Microsoft’s official Tech Support  one of the countless ways that your Xbox 360 might be killed is by plugging that power brick into a surge protector.
