By the way L11, I am glad you didn't really retire.

Yeah I have found since PS3 sales have picked up that the amount of trolling in the Microsoft forum has gone up with it. I was going to leave but decided to stay and at first fight. I was planning on basically posting in every Playstation thread with a negative spin on whatever the topic was. To annoy them like in the old cartoons where a flea on a dog annoys it and makes it miserable. But then I realized I was just becoming a Microsoft version of Nintendo's Gballzack and eventually I would be banned so I stopped. I realize that the console wars, etc, are just fun and games so I have no idea why I was taking it so seriously. Now I'm just going to enjoy the games with the free time I have left before I go back to classes.

I am very happy to hear that.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Are people afraid of Firefox? This is like the fifteenth time that we've had this thread, and each time the holy grail of browsers is revealed. And yet there are still people who refuse to upgrade....for free.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've been using Firefox for a long time now but didn't have these installed. It helps a bit with stuff like this : http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=18024

The worst one is the stupid mosquito buzzing. Where can I download adblock plus?

Edit: Downloaded and blocked I now have a nice quiet Barratt Homes ad instead.

The 'hello' thing is extremely annoying.. nothing is worse than talking web ads. There is an ad blocker for Firefox that will remove it. After you download Firefox from the Mozilla site, it will give you options to personalize your software and you can put AdBlocker Plus on. It... works!
