    I've got to be in touch with mainstream somewhere in my life. I'm maverick everywhere else.

    So just re-entered the World of Azeroth for the first time since 2009. They seem to have made quite a few gameplay changes. For example mages now specialise in a single area of magic (Arcane, Fire or Frost) rather than covering them all. Also, I'm not sure how you learn spells now. I think you automatically learn them once you get to a certain level, though I'm also not sure how they go up in damage.... Need to remember how to craft wands so I can go back to handing them out to Newbies in Goldshire.

    Also, does anyone think the fact that on Dancing for Comic Relief you can vote without having to pay any money online is slightly counter-productive to the entire purpose of the show (to raise money for charity)?

    There is free entry requirement for all competitions...you will see this if you look in the small print of any comp. entry form. Obviously you would have to be a mean person to do this in a charity competition.

    has anyone got CS:GO? I missed the 75% off sale the other day, although I'm not sure my PC would even be able to handle it

    Counter Strike?

    Also, I love WoW! Nostalgic and fun at the same time. I also like the fact that the day night cycle in it is linked to the current time of day in real life, neat feature that.

    I've bought it on Steam but never played it. Got it on the Xbox Arcade, was alright but just didn't get into the rhythm of it on console and without custom maps it got a bit dull.

    Most of my childhood went into CS:S.

    Massive crash in a Daytona 500 support race. Car parts, including an engine have been thrown into the crowd. Not sure if there are spectators involved, but there may well be. A tyre is rumoured to have been thrown up to 20 rows up.

    Good thing they have those fences. Motorsport has claimed too many lives.

    The ones in America don't seem to be as good. There is indeed a tyre some 20 rows up.

    The drivers are fine, somehow. All cimbed out unaided I think.

    Christ that was one hell of a crash. Glad no one was seriously hurt.

    I only got CS:S a few years ago but I've been playing Counter Strike since like, 1999. It probably ruined my life tbh. Me and my brother used to fight over the pc just to play that game, back in the days of dial up internet and only getting 6 hours free internet a night. Instead of revising for A Levels I was playing CS.
