yer its the whole reason I don't have a xbox or a ps...mind u I aint into shitty racing games ect and I like shooting games betta on a pc...don't like using the joypads...

That satement doesn't hold true anymore I'm afraid.
The only thing a console can do better than a PC is multiplayer split screen gaming, absolutely nothing else.

and with multiplayer split screen gaming, it makes those genres so much better than pc. While some games on pc have split screen or multiplayer such as lego platformers, serious sam 3, or sports, unless you plug your tv into your computer, which hardly anyone does, then multiplayer on a little 20" moniter absolutely blows.

It can also be understood in terms of the games. Consoles are better for platforms. That is shown by the fact that there are countless great platform games for console, but maybe 2 or 3 for pc. In that regard, consoles are far superior over pc's if you want to play platform games. Same for racing. There are some good car games on pc, but i don't see any versions of ssx tricky, just shaun whites bollocks, i don't see ay equivelent to mario kart, just lego racers. So for racing, consoles are better. Much like the ps2 vs xbox debate. Xbox was technologically better, as is a pc over a console, but in terms of gaming, ps2 was better simply in that it had the games.

my snes entertained me more then any other thing i have ever owned. i spilled drinks on it, dropped it about ten times stood on it and it never ever broke.
no loading, no crashing and most importantly you didn't have unlimited lives like in all games today, the game pulled you in and kept you hooked based on pure playability.

i have had 4 ps2's and i'm on my 9th ps3 they do not like smoke!!. my xbox on the other hand was built like a tank and never broke after 7+ years of gaming and whatever else i used it for (music films etc), i think they made them especially sturdy as to establish a name in the gaming community.

i look forward to being frustrated by the new ps4.

try some major lst spoony, make them bonsais by tying anything that grows upwards down to the edge of the pot.

also if you transplant into a big pot now that will slow them down as they will spend time making a good root base before they really grow vertically, just make sure the pots aren't tall ones lol

Yeah think I'm gonna try a bit of training as they get a lil bigger only problem is I ain't got loads of room in the flower tent so can't have em getting to wide either lol (0.8x0.8 tent) think I'm gonna buy a bigger tent. Some one mentioned some thing the other week about slowing growth down, do the call it cold boxing or sum thing? Or am I jus chatting shit ha ha.

never heard of cold boxing before, is it like use the minimum amount of light and keep the temp as low as possible to inhibit growth?. what light do you flower with? if a 600 i'd say get a 1.2m tent, they are lovely for a 600.

if you don't top your plants you can just train the main stem around the edge of the pot like a spiral, then all the side branches will grow upwards and not quite as wide, you could then select how many bud sites you want and where you want them and prune what you don't want. it does look a tad low in there.

easy for me to say but go and get a 1.2m tent and a 600 and use the little tent for your clones and veggies and keep under the bed for the prop, that's how you can get 6 crops a year.

 

[Saerimmner]

So lads, been looking at my new grow space an wondering what measures you lot take to combat mold n damp etc? its a plastrboard lined cupboard with wallpaper over thwe top, wallpaper will be removed soon but since im stripping the wallpaper out thought i might as well put some effort into mold n damp prevention while im in there lol

only ask as ive always grown in a tent up til now lol

 

[ghb]

mould proof paint 2 layers of. that is better than black and white plastic so no need for anything else on top. make sure it's glossy lol.

Yeah I think it was something along them lines Nd yeah iv got a 600. Think I mite be moving house early next year and that was my plan to get a 1.2 for flower and use my 0.8 for veg. Yeah low ain't the word, there under the bed and have about 14'' height wise lmao.

your plan sounds like a winner!.

a 600 in a 0.8 must be nice and cosy, i bet you get some big buds.

 

[shawnybizzle]

Yeh before you paint it spray all the wall with dettol mold and mildrew spray and you should be all good

 

[Saerimmner]

mould proof paint 2 layers of. that is better than black and white plastic so no need for anything else on top. make sure it's glossy lol.

any specific brands ya can recommend for going onto plasterboard?

 

[ghb]

no particular brands and i've never tried it on plasterboard but a thick "one coat gloss" will stick to it no problem i imagine.

the second coat will give it a nice smooth surface to wipe etc.

i've used mould proof paint on a wall that had black and green mould on, i bleached it dried it and painted it with one coat, not seen any mould since.

yeah certainly a good idea, especially in a rather confined space like im gna have lol, will chuck pics up as i start overhauling it, any other ideas after mould proof paint?

Still not true.
PC's were doing ALL game genre's including platformer's long before consoles existed.
(Check the back catalog)

And if you're bothered about console exclusives there's an emulator for every console in history barring the PS3, 360 and Wii U.
I can even have a a script so that windows recognises the Wii controller instead of the mouse, job done all round.


Mario Kart a racer? Have a word TT, lol.
I've just finished Grid 2.

 

[imcjayt]
