Final Fantasy XIII does it. As you load the game up you get a nice backdrop (for the last dozen+ hours of the game it's been Gran Pulse for me) with a scrolling bit of text, normally the latest segment from the diary of the datalog. Pokemon also does it, but as it's not got much story it's kinda like "Dean Capture Todadile on Route 42" "Dean defeated Rocket Grunts Tim and Ashley" for a few pages. I do think it's a really neat segment. Oh I think, though not played for a while, that Witcher 2 does it as well.

No home is prepared and waiting just like it will always be difficult to raise a child. My nephew was a surprise baby and his parents weren't yet married. I find it sickening to think this kid whom we all love so much could've been taken away before we ever met him. I'm in no way anxious to have a kid (my wife is another story) but I can't see every just getting rid of it because it's inconveinent. I'm not advocating aborting every unplanned pregnancies, but it's much better to be planned or to know that the child can be supported and loved than to be forcefully brought into a world where that won't be the case because it sounds awesome on some politicians bullet points. p.s "Planned Parenthood" is actually an organisation? I just thought it an american way of saying "family planning". i.e the segment of health that condoms, abortions, morning after pill, The Pill, STI screening, ante/pre-natal etc comes under.

I linked it a few pages back but here's her preview (Seems Gregg didn't understand why I was linking it ). IGN does have a disclaimer of "Chobot will not be involved of our coverage of Mass Effect 3". Not that this seems to count. I'm actually curious on why out of all the actors and professional VA out there Bioware went n picked someone from G4/IGN. Be fun to hear their reasoning. Especially since from what I've being hearing she's pretty cruddy as far as acting goes, and her talents pretty much reside in having tits (and a tongue with which to lick PSPs).

Is Duke legally able to? As far as abortion goes, it's the mothers choice. If they're unable to provide for a child, why should they? I'd think it much better a child be brought into a home that is prepared and wanting, than to have both parents and child struggle for the next two decades or so. It's not fun for either. Never mind the cases where it's a pregnancy the mother most certainly didn't want. I don't think anyone would think less of a woman aborting a rapists child.

From my sisters 21st outing this weekend. Probably one of the least photoshopped images that my cousin put up (half the album looks like it was ran through hipstamatic or something). That'd be Me, my cousin and my mum on the end.

The part where she works/writes/videos for gaming sites IGN and G4. Not that anyone much trusted IGN for reviews anyway, but it'll be mighty suspect this time around.

Seth Green and Martin Sheen are it for VAs in ME that I actually know of in other roles. Oh I guess Freddie Prince Jr in ME3 too. And Claudia Blacks cameo in ME2. My main issue of Chobot being in ME is just the conflict of interest. Bit like Famitsu being in Peace Walker. Don't much care what she looks like, I'll be going with the Quarian again anyway. (Should I end up buying the game, currently undecided on that one)

Ben was over. He decided that we'd listen to this a lot (Especially since it turns out the last person to log into Spotify on my PC was him)

Why does your internet weep? It's out on Blu-Ray.

Yeah we have sweets not candy. Yes it was a reference to that. Robert Burns however is a pretty famous Scotsman.

(sweets) Also it wouldn't be Montgomery Burns but Robert.

Try the other side of the antipodes. Mate.

PXOD has Google Apps cos it's a bought and hosted domain( so it's "google apps for business"). I'm not sure how simple it is to set up sharing on a personal gmail account, but I can have a shot.

You know Jessica Chobot of G4. (I love the smell of conflict of interest in the morning)

I take issue with this viewpoint. I mean yes, it's clear they developed the game planning to have that content, but you don't know what would have happened in a pre-DLC world. Maybe the content would have been in the game, but maybe it just would have been cut altogether, and there would have just been some empty rooms on the Normandy with no mention of Kasumi or Zaeed. Well then that'd be lazy game design. And as I mentioned the other day, we can take a pretty good guess of what it'd be like if DLC wasn't around (for those not on Twitter I gave FFXIII-2 as an example of the post-DLC world, versus the 25 years of FF games where Omega and other super-bosses have popped up. It gives us a good idea that Omega isn't content that is added due to the wonders of DLC, but removed due to the money making opportunities of DLC) As a gamer I know myself when it feels like a game is missing something. If you as a game developer can't assuage that feeling, then you suck. "you're doing it wrong". The response of "well you don't have the balance sheets of the studio, or the minutes from our meeting etc to prove that this content wasn't all planned of a greater game then trimmed out to make DLC" just really kinda sucks. I don't know everything that goes into galaxy chocolate, but I know it tastes nicer than that herheys shit. And hey, maybe if studios and publishers weren't so damn fucking secretive control freaks we'd maybe know what's gone into making the game? I know jack shit of how Mass Effect 3 is being made but I can bloody tell you the name of the damn cameras The Hobbit is using (George, Ringo, Paul n John would be four of them). Maybe studios should walk us through the process of them making the games instead of acting like their the illuminati? edit: I could pirate Portal 2. I still ended up buying the PS3 version despite the fact I'd mainly end up on the Steam copy that came with it (and it cost more to buy than just the PC version too). Skyrim came with a nice map. Witcher 2 with a ton of goodies I showed off if you scout the thread. None of those can be pirated. Still if the studio is like "what can we do to piss off pirates" I repeat: They're doing it wrong. Reward the gamers that buy your stuff, don't attempt to punish those that won't.

So from what I've gathered on a reddit post, US doesn't exactly have the phrase "silver surfer". Well you do but it's: and not (cos of the hair on old folks being silver, and surfing the web)
