I have missed the first 30 minutes. Has Bob been on yet?

Brilliant film.

Not too bad. I was expecting more, but it was watchable. 6/10.

Not telling! Not until I get it, practice with it and someone on here has a guess when I post some pictures with it...! Do you shoot in jpeg or RAW? And which do you prefer?

Impressive pictures MikeyT. I now have my eye on something other than the G3 or Canon. What could it be...?

"How do you get 0.8 of a shot?" - Alan Young Brilliant.

Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum. The pair of them a total disgrace. It's almost getting to the point now where the standard of refereeing is so poor, that I actually expect a result to be influenced by a refereeing decision in every game I go to see. As has been pointed out, the elbow on SSL happened right in front of where I was sat, and the outcome of that was one of a series of appauling errors of judgement. It also happened in front of Tweedle-dum there in the technical area, all 3 foot 2 of him. All he did all night was diddly squat apart from holding up a substitution on his board which read number 8 being subbed for number 8. It's so farcical and comical, you just couldn't make it up. Oh yes, I almost forgot. We had the shenanigans at the start of the second half. The parts played by Tweedle-dee and his partner there wouldn't look out of place on the end credits of a bad excuse for a comedy sketch show. "You tell him to go to the stands...", "Duh, yes boss...". Numpties. After a brief and quite calm conversation between Tweedle-Dum and NP, in a collected and very calm manner, NP took his seat above us. In hindsight having driven home listening to NPs interview, how he found himself to be so calm and collected at that point in time amazes me. But what does Tweedle-Dum do after he leaves the dugout? He stands there and laughs about it. He actually thought it was funny. What a total disgrace. Call yourself professional? Tweedle-Dee, Tweedle-Dum the pair of them - numpties. Of course the irony of it all is while Tweedle-Dee mingles with the backroom staff and players on his stadium tour, we have to sit through yet another "Respect the Ref" campaign shown all over our stadium screens whilst clutching to a hot cup of tea. It's beyond farcical imo.

I thought I'd give this one or two last attempts at collecting the 3 achievements I need - 15 artifacts, 20 shouts, 13 waystones. But..., this game has finally screwed me over. I was after the Become Ethereal shout from the Ironbind Barrow dungeon. Made it through no problem to the end and squared up against what I thought was yet another Deathlord only to find it was the main boss. Never mind, carried it through and just as it was about to land the final blow, the game decides to autosave. It froze for a few seconds and then came back. Only of course I was dead. It reloaded, one hit and I was dead. It did this again. No worries I thought, go into the load-up screen and chose an earlier autosave. Go into that and all 3 autosaves are at the same point. They all load and one hit and dead. Last save before this was over 2 hours back! I can't be arsed with this anymore!

This was decent. Hopefully The Avengers will be as good. Haven't seen Thor yet though...

There you go...! Canon 5D, Panasonic G3 and GF3...

"The image sensor of Four Thirds and MFT is commonly referred to as a 4/3" type or 4/3 type sensor (inch-based sizing system is derived from now obsolete video camera tubes). The sensor measures 18 mm × 13.5 mm (22.5 mm diagonal), with an imaging area of 17.3 mm × 13.0 mm (21.6 mm diagonal), comparable to the frame size of 110 film.[3] Its area, ca. 220 mm², is approximately 40% less than the APS-C sensors used in other manufacturers' DSLRs, yet is around 9 times larger than the 1/2.5" sensors typically used in compact digital cameras. The Four Thirds system used a 4:3 image aspect ratio, in common with other compact digital cameras but unlike APS-C or full-frame DSLRs which usually adhere to the 3:2 aspect ratio of the traditional 35 mm format. Thus "The Four Thirds refers to both the size of the imager and the aspect ratio of the sensor"." The size of a Panasonic GF3 (smallest CSC on the market) compared to a 600D... Now tell me it's 1/3rd bigger! The GF3 doesn't have the same sensor as the G3, neither does it have the EVF or flip out screen. I've done my research! The G3 is bigger, but not by too much. Go into Curry's and take a look!

Impressive quality with the Canon. I'm looking at one of these but the lure of the micro 4/3rds system may pull me the other way. I'm still undecided. Some of the images I've seen posted from a G3 for example on the micro 4/3rds forum have been quite incredible considering (a) its price and (b) its size - even with the kit lens.

Pffft. Not great. The plot: Aliens attack LA. Marines fight aliens. Marines do stupid things until only a handful are left just to save 5 people in a police station in an LA suburb. Marines find a way to kill the aliens. They fight back against the aliens. They find the control centre and blow it up. The aliens run away. The end. Think Independance Day, only worse. Independance Day isn't good either.

Very impressive photos. What camera kit do you use MikeyT to pull off pictures like these?

I'm getting bored of this now. I have one daedric artifact left to find and another 4 shouts to get. Not that I ever use them mind. I'll not bother with the level 50 achievement so I reckon I'll be 3 short by the time I put this down. Which will be shortly. I'm surprised it hasn't had me going back to Dark Souls earlier but there's something about it to keep pulling me back in. However, there's only so many dungeons, quests and the like containing draugrs, deathlords, falmer and bandits that one can take. It's a shame there isn't a greater variety of enemy to keep things fresh. I just mash with the right trigger, as I'm lvl 100 one handed. Tactically, there's nothing to it.

I also agree. What's worrying though is that "delusions of grandeur" have clearly got to some of the fans and they're quite insulted by it. I can't see where they're coming from.

To all the moaners on the moan-in... STOP GOING ON WITH THE FERNANDES EXCUSE!!! Numpties.

Anyone seen Warhorse? I'm not a huge fan of horses, but this looks interesting.

Impressive? Looks good to me...

Just watched this on DVD. Very good film. Done properly. Much better than the others.

I'm having a rethink now. I'm now looking in the £400-£600 price bracket and am considering the CSCs. The one that is particularly attracing my attention is this... The Panasonic G3. From what I have read the quality of these is on a par with the entry level DSLRs and the obvious advantage is it's size and weight. Apart from that it has a really nifty lcd screen which is touchscreen and can rotate through 270. The 14-42mm lens doesn't pull up many trees but a wide variety of decent lenses are available. Maybe not up to a pro's standard but I think it'll do for a step up from the Canon IXUS compact we have. The alternatives to this are the Olympus PEN series, Sony NEX and the recent Nikon 1. All of these are as pricey as a Canon 550d/600d though. Thoughts people?

Thanks for the ideas. I've researched this a little more over the past couple of days and have come to the conclusion that £800 is required to get a camera, associated accessories and a couple of decent lenses. Apart from the 18-55mm supplied, a 55-250mm lens and a 50mm lens would appear to be the norm. Any suggestions as to a wide angle lens? Price? How do the attachment lenses perform compared to the ones which I can't find for under £250!? I've no rush for it as I need it by the time the summer holidays are here so I will pop into Jessops as suggested, try them out and save up over the next 6 months.

You either love it or you hate it. There's no middle ground with this one.

I lost Lydia early on. Funny thing was she died in the Shimmering Cave on a side quest and then mysteriously came back to life on the dragon attack in Windhelm during the main quest before dying again. Aela follows me everywhere. Although today she just disappeared whilst fighting a dwarven metal enemy. Here one second, gone the next. Anyway, have now finished the main quest. All faction quests completed. Daedric artifacts to find. I have 14 achievements still to collect and am looking for the quickest way possible to get all of them. Some of them will require some patience. Problem is the amount of game time needed to pull them off. I still have Dark Souls to finish, AC Revelations to get through and at the end of Jan FFXIII-2 is out followed swiftly by ME3.

Absolute blast. Turn up the volume, don't think too much about it, sit back, relax...
