I would never enter a competition with the intention to sell the price, what kinda mentality is that?

For the Xbox itself, two cheap looking stickers mashed on top some horrible shiny paint? :laugh: piece of history ...

Yeah, maybe it's best if you didn't enter then. Whether you like it or not, owning something that only four other people in the whole world have is pretty special, particularly for something like GTA.

Only 12 days left I seriously cant wait for this game, shame my exams start a couple of days later, means that I wont be able to play it properly till 5 weeks down the line.

As to the whole 10/10, perfect thing. I just think that giving a game a score out of 10 is way to narrow, it only gives the the reviewer 11 choices (0-10), that they can score a game on, in my personal opinion a score based on the percentage scale would be more suffice (is that proper English), like Gamesmaster magazine in the UK or the system that GameSpot use.

Maybe the reviewer actually thought the game was a 97% of 9.7 but because they had to choose between 9 or 10, I think that everyone would agree that 10 is more of a realistic score than a 9.

Ahh who cares about who give it a 10? The only review that ever really matters anymore is that of the legend himself "Ben "Yahtzee" Corshaw"

Seriously though he is the only guy that I can expect to give a review that I really want to listen to. He truly attempts to destroy the game and when he can't its a sign that the game stood its ground pretty well :D

He is extremely tough but he is also fair, Yahtzee for president :p

Think very carefully about where he is in the world.....

(Edit: that's not to say it won't be a fair review of the game he plays)

BioShock received at least a dozen of 10's. It was an awesome game, but far from perfect.

And that's a nice prize, acxz. How did you manage to get your hands on that?! :shiftyninja:

We got an email from Nelson Rodriguez (Community Manager for Xbox) asking us if we wanted to hold a competition with it as the prize. We were all a bit shocked lol.

Dunno if this has been posted. Some great news but warning it is a spoiler if you click the link. Well not really story spoilers but just someone you can expect to do a voice (and mo-cap) in the game :)

Office funny man Ricky Gervais is in GTA IV, as part of Liberty City's stand-up comedy club, and somewhere else he's not saying...

His voice is distinctive so should be easily spotted

I wouldn't be surprised if he was the voice for one of the adverts... his voice would be just as annoying as the advert :p

Stand-up comedy club though? We can go and watch Ricky Gervais do a set in GTA? I wonder if the bouncers on the door will stop you just walking in though :p

But, again, 10 doesn't necessarily have to mean "perfect". 10 could mean "awesome game", which it was.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
