Advantages: An excellent all round board that develops with the Rider Disadvantages: I should have researched boards the first time round
When I first decided to take up Snowboarding as a hobby I rushed in a bit when it came to buying my first board. Rather than thinking about it too much and researching which board was best for me, something I really would advise everyone do, I jumped in with both feet and bought a board that really wasn't what I was looking for. I ended up with a tricks board and from the moment I started using it I really didn't feel comfortable on it. So this time last year, with an impending trip to Canada I headed out to buy myself a new Snowboard.
This time though I spent weeks researching different boards and visiting all sorts of shops to ensure I got a board that matched my requirements.

Advantages: Excellent strategy game Disadvantages: Not for those without time on their hands.
This is the game who's engine was used recently on one of the bbc's programs, it featured historical battles being fought by teams of people, and the public wanted to try it themselves. Thus, Rome:Total War was born and many people, including me, were and are hooked onto it.
As i hurried home with the game in my hand, and a few points on my game card, i couldnt wait to play it. The cellophane was ripped off, and the cd placed in the drive, i couldnt contain my excitement. The installation was relatively simple, no hiccups, just changing cd's every now and again. And then suddenly, the question was popped " Would you like to run Rome:Total War now". I ticked the box, and pressed ok, the red loading screen opened up before me. The small red bar at the bottom of the screen filled up and i had started my journey into the past.
