Out of the blue the monitor that I ordered a few hours ago turned up, I wasn’t really expecting it for another 4-5 days.

First impressions is that it is MASSIVE!!! The lady at the reception had trouble carrying it so I had to go around the side door to get it.

Now to pictures

The little red mark on the bottom right is my blood. I was wondering what it was cause I was so excited I didn’t even notice that I was bleeding.

Comes with a very nice and useful remote as you can see in the picture

1080p

Screen size comparison, much better colors on the screen than laptop

Only played the first 2 mission of the Soviet guys but its been good fun so far. Alot of new vehicles and units to play with. Favourite so far are the flying mechas but I haven’t seen them all yet.

With my laptop specs (T8100 Core 2 Duo, 4GB Ram, 8600M GT) I can only manage Low at 1280×800 with good speed. Although I haven’t changed anything else yet. I may do that later on and report back.

Some pictures of the game itself on my laptop.

Update - I can run it at medium with pretty decent speed.

Just got back from the cinema with Ricky. Went to the new one in Cabot Circus, abit over the price but the service was good with way to many people plotted around the cinema pointing you in the right direction.

Before anything else Pictures of me & Ricky at Cabot Circus

Back to the subject, a ticket will set you back £5.50 for students. My hotdog and Tango Ice blast was about £6. This was for a regular hotdog and large iceblast.

The reclining seats that everyone says is “soooo cool” is soooo not. They may look cool to you at first but if you are a tall person and sits with a curved back then it is not so cool. Whilst watching Quantum of Solace I was forced to change position every 10 or so minutes.

All in all, good if your short, or sit with your back straight. Bad if you are like me.

Enough about the cinema itself. The film was so so. The effects were pretty cool but the story didn’t really leave a “wow, this is a great film” feeling. I personal prefer Casino Royale, but hey that just my opinion.

Anyways after that we left the cinema and went to to “Nandos”

Front cover of menu.

Ricky and his wussy veggy burger and spicy rice.

1/4 chicken, spicy rice reg, garlic bread reg, bottomless drink - about £7. By bottomless I mean that you can refill as many times as you can before you die due to bladder failure.

The the “flag” says “hot”. The Nando’s X extra extra hot sauce is not so hot as it proclaims.
