Fuck that noise. Most kids know most of the standard swears by the time they're five or six. Fucking swearing never hurt anybody and isn't likely to. Knowing swear words and seeing them normalised by being posted on websites by paid writers is not the same thing. No it doesn't hurt anyone to see a swearword neither does seeing anything ugly - that doesn't mean I want to see it or be subjected to it every day.

I always thought titbit was correct but that some people (mostly in USA) use tidbit because they are embarrassed to say/write TIT ::snicker:: Dunking biscuits in tea is completely gross - it ruins the tea and the biscuit. If I have a biscuit with tea I have it after I've drunk the tea else the sweetness of the biscuit makes the tea taste more bitter.

I hope I like it. It should be interesting at least.

This article is quite interesting about who get in or is chucked out of metacritic's pool of reviewers it uses.

I watched TimeCrimes quite a while ago so I don't remember exactly how it went but I'm sure I remember thinking it just got a bit ridiculous. Enjoyable nonetheless.

I don't know why you think it is a good thing that the WiiU may force the other console manufacturers to release their consoles sooner - we all know what happened last time MS rushed out a console.

I don't post most of the CDs I buy but I'm posting this one as the cover is awesome plus I'm super glad it actually arrived as I had to use an importer I'd never heard of.

Just got Stacking. I may get around to playing it soon as I am nearly done with watching the first five seasons of Bones.

Stacking is reduced to 600 points from 1200 on xbox.

Thanks, I hope the walkthrough will help me enjoy it more.

@FLD: How did you get on with the online trophies? Some of them seem like you'd have to set them up rather than they occur while playing naturally.

I'm just slightly surprised that the XBLA version would be cheaper than on PC so I thought it may be gimped in a significant way. I guess it seems like a fairly streamlined game so may be OK on gamepad, but I won't make my mind up until they're out anyway.

It'll only be 1200 MS points (about £10) on xbox LIVE. Is it any different on the PC to warrant the extra money?

I'm playing Chrono Trigger for the DS at the moment, but so far am not getting the "best RPG ever" vibe from it. I'm in a factory and have got kind of lost so maybe that it putting a downer on it. I guess I'm quite near the start so I hope it picks up story-wise.

The Last Window on DS for £9.99. That's really cheap and I remember when I bought it it was quite hard to get hold of.

I just pre-ordered Child of Eden for PS3 thanks to WTF's bargain spotting skills. I'll probably forget I've pre-ordered it by September's release date though. As long as they don't charge a higher price (I don't fully trust play.com) it will come as a nice surprise. I wonder if they'll change the box art as surely the guy on the front is doing the kinect gameplay.

I play the clarinet and taught myself the piano. I haven't played either for years though, which makes me sad when I think about it, but I don't often think about it I've no reason not to play the clarinet, but when I came home from university one time to see my piano hacked to bits in the garden by my parents I had that decision made for me! I'd love to get an electric piano, but I never found one that felt enough like a piano to justify the expense. I did try to learn the flute once but I was allergic to the nickel in it, making my nose run and my lips tingly.

I finally got around to watching Brazil all the way through. I can't say I loved it. It seemed like ten minutes of plot swollen with self-indulgence to a full length movie.

I watched the first season box set and enjoyed it, but found Walter a bit annoying. I generally can't enjoy 'eccentric' characters.

Did anyone play Puzzle Agent, and would recommend anyone else play it? I like the looks of it.

admittedly, I've only played Move demos, but I have found the thing a complete nightmare: disappointingly laggy, and not moving the on screen action in the way I expect. I don't find it better than the wiimote at all. What did any of you play that impressed you so I can give it a try
