I don't intend to. But it could happen by accident or medical breakthrough. The person below me wears glasses.

Like the racing. And prostitutes.

Where the hell you hearing that? It's definitely slower than the old one. Especially with loading comments (loading the entire article with the comment doesn't help, though it does push up the hits for that article...) The sitemeter/alexa/whatever results even state it's much slower. It's slower than "94%" of other websites.

Skyrim, Portal 2, Deus Ex, Witcher 2, mult-plat titles, Crysis 2, Dragon Age 2 (for those that care), Call of Duty 8, Battlefield 3, probably a fair few I'm missing. I'll scan GAME in a bit n get back to you. edit: only by a few seconds. Subversion I'm eyeing up, but I'm unsure if t'll ever come. Space Marine I knew of but I thought that's not due til next year? Diablo III I'm embarrassed for missing out. Though not as much as forgetting about that list Guild wars I'm kinda interested in too. Brink n Arkham City I stuck under "Multi-Plats" as I'm unsure whether they're worth getting as PC over console. Though AA was nice looking on PC and tied up with a 360 pad.

Well cars will more than likely naturally progress onto electric equivalent as time goes on. Cigarettes can't be powered by batteries. I do agree it's funny marujina is banned but smoking isn't.

I dunno on technically impressive. Their faces look like plastic, the main guys especially. It's on my radar, but faintly. Might pick it up over summer. Might not. Depends what other games are eating my time, and what reviews n folks say closer to release.

btw the fireworks video (wouldn't full load for me) that's FF music isn't it? Just more of an electro-beat type style.

It's cos he's British. So it's what he'll know it as.

Wow that's one huge advert. Also I notice Kotaku seem to be struggling with the size of images and videos, in many cases making them smaller than the original layout (Luke especially has a habit of using really small youtube videos) Also the T-Shirt add, that's not Meat bun is it. Cos that'd be a huge clash of pr..esomthing or others(brain is warming up, bear with me). Cos McWhertor is a founder.

It's not very clear (I think I'll make an FAQ later on) but the Smoovesonian (he donated, got to name it) is our image gallery, for all users to upload images or use Brains Dropbox link (which if you are do a search for Dropbox on the site and there's a thread with referrals, nets you and the refereee some extra space)

Hg? Also we're deviating off course to something maybe worthy of a different thread

That'd be why it's a cod piece. Salmon is also shit loads more expensive than cod. Also not so good when battered.

Yoke is a wooden structure thing you hang over your shoulders for carrying heavy weight. A yolk is the yellow of an egg. That's not an English-English thing, that's all you lot spelling it wrong. Also I have "FECK: Irish Connection" T-shirt. (as in FCUK). I use Feck n Shite quite a bit too. In fact that'd be mostly on TF2 as well, folks may have heard me use it. Don't use Gombeen though. Never heard of it actually.

Oh well hello. Read the Game News thread.

Actually doing some investigation work, follow up articles. Oh and being funny while doing it. Also worth reading: http://www.rockpaper...om/tag/do-dont/

Zed Pee Emm And only one guy on the show pronounces it right. Also Tea/Tee, same difference. And H has a H in it. It wouldn't be H without it.

So let me first set the tone on my opinion: Fuck Nintendo. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/32855/Nintendos_FilsAime_LowPriced_Mobile_Games_Among_Biggest_Risks_To_Industry.php Now it's not a black and white issue. Some cheap games are shitty, and some games do require the high budgets and are better for it. Cheap games are not bad for the industry, the cheap indie titles are bad for the CEO's end of year bonus, because he can no longer convince people that their games are worth £30 a pop. Back in Ye Olde Days you pretty much had the same prices across consoles. There's probably something a anti-competitive group should of looked into actually. Which this helped maintain a nice healthy margin on games, and people didn't really question why games cost that much. They're all the same price, there probably was a reason for it. But now DD has come out, games are piss easy to make for PC and iPhones n all that jazz, and suddenly people are questioning why one studio for some reason spends millions on a game, charges £40 a pop for it, when some guy in his bedroom is making equally fun games on a shoestring budget and selling it for 59p a pop. All that's bad is people are now actively questioning why console and handheld games are at permanent and relatively high price points. And should they continue down that root all the shitty shovelware titles at the very least are going to get crippled by it (which is probably why it's Nintendo bringing this up) Oh and we're not just talking Phone games either, which are very pick up n play kind of things, but you've got the cheap indie games on PC. Magicka as a console game would probably set you back £30, or wouldn't of even seen the light of day actually. Killing Floor = £15. Console version? £40. The cheap games fill a niche in the market that apparently isn't very niche. Personally I think it's great it makes giants like Nintendo quake in their boots a little. Might make them a bit more competitive n spice up their pricing a bit for once.

Lost: The Game I'd say. Only game I've ever traded in. So that should tell you something. I can't remember too much, it was one of my first PS3 games, it was just really bad. I was a fan of the show so Hurley n locke n all that was kind of cool. But when I ended up going in one end of a cave and then coming out the same end several times I was like "okay fuck this". Only got like £5 for it :/

The school system is so completely different between the two that'd need it's own dedicated post than a casual high school=secondary school, grades=years. thing. I can maybe do it tomorrow. I think I've got it figured out quite well. Also it means fun? I'm aware of the phrase "What's the craic" as in, "what's up". And I use eejit myselfy from time to time. It's much nicer sounding word to use than idiot. Or I'll go the occasional I.D.Ten.Tee. Aa, Bee, see, dee, ee, eff, jee, hach, eye, jay, kay, ell, emm, enn, oo, pee. kew, arr, tee, ess, you, vee, double-you, ecks, why, and zed. (now I know my ABCs, will you come now sing with me)

Ha! We've been discussing DAII in chat

Found the Gately article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1220756/A-strange-lonely-troubling-death--.html Notice how she even reports the coroner report says it was natural. But yeah, dude dies, she spins it off into some drivel with a homophobic, conspiracy theory edge to it.
