So I finally caved in and bought a new game, Guild Wars 2. It's a MMORPG - Massively Multi Player Online Roll Playing Game.

I played GW1 years back and really enjoyed it. The great thing about this one is that there is no subscription fee, you pay once and play for free. I've only played it a few hours but I think I am going to really like it. It has a nice feel to it and it's great to figure out the details in a new game like this.

The graphics are pretty cool, as good as anything about at the moment I think - I'll grab some screen shots later and post them.

Of course my first character had to be a hot female ranger, I like ranged (bow and arrow) characters a lot and she looks pretty cute

Here's a rather long video I found, after the cut scene just skip to the action...

SO I was kept awake by what is currently my suspected hernia last night - seeing docs soon..

For some reason I was thinking about how in the US people say the word DATA. Now recently I have heard Dave call this site da-ta-hop-a.... da and ta as the a in cat; and hop as in what goes in beer.

Whereas I say day-ta-hope-a

Yes I told you it was pretty random.

But then I thought, why on Star Trek generations do all the US crew call Mr Data - "Mr Day-ta" - like how us Limeys say it ?

Is this word data pronounced differently in some parts of the US ?

I have heard posh people in the UK say Dar-Tar too btw.

Oh well enough of my rambling.

Found this while browsing youtube and thought it pretty interesting:

Note sure how this one got funding, but this is what I call scienific research

A little info on the NASA Juno Jupiter mission (And how it wouldn't get there with out a British engine )

Just came here from Zabaware, Also just got a webcam. Creative, with the latest and greatest features, whih means I probably paid to much. It has audio and video that means I don't have to type. Wanted to mention it here and ask is it feasable to have webcam chat at this site? My feelings are webcams are reasonably priced and it makes communicating very simple and easy.
