    Silly Brits and their vague timespeak. Quit dropping key words and we'll know what you meant!

    Half to five...

    Half passed five...

    I don't think anyone would ever say half to five in British English. I've certainly never known anybody to. Then again I've never known Americans to do so either.

    "Half five" is clearly 17/2 which is 16,30.

    It is simple math guys.

    Champion's Online problem is a lack of zones and too simplistic of combat. Going between 3 places for the first 30 levels (out of 40) was really lame. And using 2-3 abilities was also really dull. A single target attack, an AOE attack and an escape ability do not make a good MMO game.

    Yeah the intial offering of content in CO made the COH's horribly anemic content look robust by comparison.

    yea thought not. oh well. the ps3 looks GREAT

    I still think the Wii looks good on an HDTV, though. My dad bought a 50" TV, and Metroid Prime 3 looks fantastic. I'm used to a little 12", but coming home for the break and playing on a nice TV is amazing.

    To lots of people the difference between interlaced and progressive footage is bigger than SD vs HD.

    p;us most HDTVs are upconverting a 480 p signal anyway

    huh. well I guess I will fire up smash brothers when I get home and see how it looks.

    *note: i havent even turned the wii on since I got the tv because I have been so in awe of blu-ray and my ps3 games

    you are using the component cables and have it on 480p mode right?

    the wii or the tv?

    or the ps3?

    confused

    also- justin did you try Pony's "play it like an FPS' method for champions? SO MUCH FUN

    wii looks decent with component cables. I haven't played any games that I expected to look great though, I play wii for simplicity.

    but honestly I enjoyed watching my friend play chrono trigger last night. it was massive.

    For some reason it is cheaper to book London -> Amsterdam by travelling "Leisure select" class on Eurostar to Brussels, and first class on Thalys to Amsterdam than it is to book both legs standard class.

    Nah, I don't think anyone would really say that here anyway. They'd just say that was half passed four. We do use quarter to and after, though.

    But really though, it is much more logical to call 16.30 half five and 17.30 half six.

    "Half five" meaning "half past five" is a result of people saying "half past", never saying "half to" and dropping the extraneous word.

    You aren't halving anything. It's one half plus five.
