There is a multitude of stuff that gets written in here which, to say it annoys me, would be an understatement. However, would I compose a response at that moment in time - no - definitely not, purely because my post would be purely just a rant based on my emotion at the time.
I would come back to it, maybe the following day, examine my feelings, and if I still felt as if I needed to say something, then I would, but I would know it would be written in a more composed manner.
So, for me, maybe yes, some things will get to me more than at other times, but my response would usually be the same in almost all written correspondence. I state written, purely because written allows me the time to think about what I want to say, be it a hour, a day, a week, whatever.
For oral communication, then that's a different matter altogether.

25 years :shock: same age as me then
I still remember my 486 with the turbo button on it
Did anyone actually ever have a pc with the turbo button on without having it permanently pressed in?

Now I feel really old - I remember my 286 - the turbo button had not been invented then.
The last time I really laughed that much it hurt was when I watched Shrek at the cinema with my daughters.
When the bird exploded and they had fried eggs for breakfast, I actually fell of the chair I was laughing so much. It was at that point the kids got up and moved to a different section of the cinema

Is it that they are cheat codes for cheating or access codes which are known as cheat codes?
Good point PL, there is certainly a difference between access codes and cheat codes, but all are commonly referred by the general name of cheats.
What I mean by cheat codes is where you enter data to attain an advantage, be it more money, more ammo, better guns etc etc
Quote by PoloLady
but if they get more enjoyment from the game by doing this - what is the harm?
I think PL for me, its all about the acceptance of the cheats and is it actually classed as "cheating".
Maybe a bit deep, but if we see using cheat codes as cheating are we endorsing their use, does it end just with PC games?
Take football for example - we see time and time again people diving - thats cheating. I know of a local football club for kids that actually had a lesson on the best way to take a dive.

i dont know anything about gaming at all , last puter game I played was Mario / Sonic the bloody hedgehog on game boy, the original
and now i have that damn tune in my head
Oi young lady, you can go off people you know.
That tune is now firmly settled in and wont budge in my head.
maybe it needs some encouragment .....
off for a listen to The Birdy Song - that should do it.

It is a shame, but it's not new.
I'm of the generation that grew up with the glorious "Speccie". Cheats (at least in my circle) were considered just that "cheating" - and you got no satisfaction or glory from completing a game using them (they were of course referred to, rather saucily, as "pokes" then...).
I agree with that one, certainly in my circles it was really frowned upon. But that was then, now, we seem to have the opposite.
Quote by SteveClarke
That said, I'm sure game producers have their fingers on the pulse and take that into account when designing the games....
Oh yes, it means with cheats, kids finish the games quicker and move onto the next release.
With the school holidays here and kids playing with PS2, Xbox etc etc it made me ponder the games that they play.
I bought a PC game for my daughter last year and the first thing she did was to go out on the net and look up the cheat codes.
I gather from her peers that this is considered the norm.
Does this not take away the challenge of the game?
Now, some cheats are harder to find for some games than others, but most of the time they exist. In most cases they are not on the software designers’ website, I don’t understand why not – after all they built the cheat codes in the first place.
So who cheats and for those that do – why? Does it contribute to a better gaming experience.
How do feel about out kids using cheats?

Actually I think it's a rather sexy ass that just expresses an opinion
For me, I would say my one grey hair stuck in the middle of my eyebrow

I had onebut lost it :cry:
I drew a picture of the Blue Peter and sent it in. They must've liked it. I was really proud of that badge.
Alleyson x
Oh wow - this is scary!
I got one for exactly the same thing, although no idea where it is now.
20 years or so later, my daughter got one, again a painting a futuristic ship. It shows ownership is still something that kids of today appreciate. She was well chuffed with hers and her mates were quite envious.
Quote by Sassy-Seren
My desktop is very tidy :smug: I have just 2 icons, the rest are all in the taskbar, which is hidden. I hate a cluttered decktop.
The pic I change quite often. At the mo it's a very calming sunrise photo that I took in the Caribbean when on a cruise. Usually though it's Stan & Ollie, something from LOTR or one of my many fave squeezes like Sean Bean :twisted:
My desk itself is another matter
Sassy - just quoting you because yours seem similar to mine!
Is it just me here, or does it appear that everyone who has a tidy desktop has an unruly desk?
I am intrigued now, does anyone here have a cluttered desktop and if so - what does your desk look like?
My wallpaper is a fantasy art pic, has been for years and has my basic number of desktop icons.
Everything has to be the correct folder and all relevant info has to entered for my 6000 odd tracks for media player.
Yep, everything on my PC must be ordered.
Now the problem comes when I check files on my server and associated PC’s and discover the kids have incorrectly labelled a file – or maybe filed an Excel document in the Word folder ……. Grrrrrrrrrrr – Finger wagging time (in a light hearted manner).
Now when I repair friends PC’s and discover a desktop literally crawling with icons, I create them a tool bar and file them all away neatly – how sad is that!
And is my desk a mess?
Absolutely right it is.

dear dear dear,
Trust the ladies to come out with all the nice stuff
As an alternative I heard from the plains of Africa that urine also works - apart from the antiseptic qualities, the smell can be quite distractive to the females, because of course, the males don't bite. :twisted:
So there your go, piss on yourself before bedtime. Never tried it myself, but I am assured it works.
oooh as long as you eat lots of garlic the night before
or was that to prevent scorpian bites

I have had all sorts of people hit my car over the years - one of the best was on a bend when a lady piled into the side of me, both of us ending in a ditch. We were both ok - but her excuse - "I never knew that bend was here - is it new?" :doh:
Then there was the time when I was parked at a supermarket. An old dear scraped her supermarket trolley along the side of my car whilst going to her car. Her excuse - "sorry dear, I didn't see you there". I was stationary for heavens sake!
