That would be such a brilliant idea. And it would fit with Nintendo's business move to attempt to make the whole family play video games.

Marmite's my binge food. Along with peanut butter/philidephia on toast. I suppose that makes toast my binge food.

"How does it feel to be making the first announced game for the Nintendo Revolution?: It’s just like being on a date with a very pretty virgin! It is a great feeling of course, but it does bring many challenges with it, we can’t fail all our fans for example." I'm no longer looking forward to this game if this is who's developing it. Edit: Oh wait, is he making an analogy between a virgin and the Revolution in regard to the fact that he's making 'the first anounced game' for the console? That's actually quite clever.

http://www.mydeathspace.com/ This could be an elaborate joke, but I'm not sure... The website is a list of links to now dead peoples' myspaces. It's a bit spooky. I thought it was a joke at first, but after browseing I'm not too sure. Either way, it's freaky to think that after you die, anything you have on the internet like this (myspace/livejournal/faceparty) will still be there.

'The Marmite connoisseur Lesley Dusart suggests that marmite can be used as part of a gravy and also suggests a recipe for the perfect marmite on toast: Toasted bread Lots of butter Thin layer of marmite (This can also be applied to cheese and marmite sandwiches) ' I WANT TO BE A MARMITE CONNOISSEUR!

Am I the only person who hasn't planned which games they're getting on launch then? I suppose I'd better make a list. I have the feeling I'll buy anything 1st party regardless of if it's actually any good or not. Red Steel looks great, but I could imagine it would be somewhat of a standard setter for Revolution FPSs. Perhaps it would be better waiting for the next big shooter? I could imagine as the first game of its kind, Red Steel would have a couple of niggles which would be patched up in another developer's Revoltion FPS. Hmm... I think I'm jumping the gun a bit, seeing as I've only seen 10 odd screens. As for Sadness, I'm attracted to the romanticised simplicity of the title. I'm hopeing what seems to be some sort of emotional and artistic awareness will be reflected in the game. Again I'm jumping the gun, but I could imagine some sort of gloomy, very aware modernist video game. Although, as it's made by a Polish design company, perhaps its just a bit of dodgey cultural/language translation? Also, what's Polish cinema/literature like? This game could be a big stinking lump of cheese when translated into English.

I hate my life.

It's iconic, it's more British than roast beef, and you ALL know the slogan. I eat Marmite on toast at least once every other day. However, I have to admit, I don't actually like the taste of it, in fact, the only reason I like eating it is because it makes me feel a small amount of elevation. Is that being addicted? Does anyone else get Marmite craveings? Oh and on another note, is it healthy?

Is that a shot from Sadness? It sounds like an amazing game if they do it properly. I could imagine it would end up like Eternal Darkness though, with a load of overblown references to Poe, Danté, Blake etc which just ended up feeling a bit cheesy.

Oh, crap. Well I think I'll delete this post and bow my head in shame...

Don't be so hard on yourself. The important thing is that you tried.

That's the important bit of the quote. Below is what the guy posted in full. It's from the Computer and Videogames forums, I can't guaratee that it's true. "SAN JOSE, Calif., March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Nintendo President Satoru Iwata today challenged a crowd of game developers to think differently and take a fresh approach to the creation of video games. During his keynote address at the Game Developers Conference in San Jose, Calif., Iwata said Nintendo will provide developers with the tools they need to disrupt the traditional methods of game creation, much as the company already has. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050915/LATH122-b) (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050516/NINTENDOLOGO) These tools include the controller for Nintendo's next home console (code-named Revolution), which lets users control the action on their television screens through the motion of the controller itself. The controller lets game developers create new kinds of gaming experiences, ones that enhance the experience for hard-core gamers while making video games more accessible and less intimidating to novices. The new forms of innovative software that can be created by any size developer will be made available for download via Revolution's Virtual Console service. "This new approach is like stepping onto an unexplored continent for the first time, with all the potential for discovery that suggests," Iwata said. "No one else can match the environment we're creating for expanding the game experience to everyone. Our path is not linear, but dynamic." Iwata also announced partnerships with Sega and Hudson to offer downloadable access to their classic games via Revolution's Virtual Console. Revolution owners will be able to relive their past gaming glories from the Sega Genesis console by playing a "best of" selection from more than 1,000 Genesis titles, as well as games sold for the TurboGrafx console (a system jointly developed by NEC and Hudson). These games join Revolution's access to 20 years of fan-favorite Nintendo games from the NES®, Super NES® and Nintendo® 64 eras. Iwata also revealed for the first time that a new game called The Legend of Zelda®: Phantom Hourglass would be released for Nintendo DS later this year. Iwata, a game developer himself, revealed behind-the-scenes stories about the development of three key initiatives. For the industry leading Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, internal engineers and developers overcame a series of hurdles to make the system seamless and flexible enough to allow players to choose to play wirelessly either with friends or against unknown opponents. The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection reached 1 million unique users in just 18 weeks -- nearly five times the adoption rate of the leading online game console network. He described a pivotal meeting in coming to agreement on development of the incredibly popular "brain games" in Japan. A leading Japanese scientist attached a sci-fi-looking wired helmet to a Nintendo staffer and then visually demonstrated stimulation of brain activity as the staffer played prototype software. Finally, he described the hundreds of sketches, dozens of prototypes and company-wide collaboration that led to the final form of the unique Revolution controller system, which resembles a traditional TV remote control. He called the related research and manufacturing costs of the new control system, "...our method to disrupt the market...realizing a new way to connect a player to his game."

I want some sort of prize for finding that.

LOOK! http://boards.ign.com/revolution_general_board/b8263/p1 The first post on the IGN Revolution boards! Now is anyone an Insider!? ackk...

Try and solve what's getting you down.

IQ tests are biased towards people who think logically. I don't posess any ability to think logically, and numbers scare me. I got a result of something like 90 when I did one once, and, I'm predicted two A's and a B at A level, in English Literature, Politics, and Art. I think that's good evidence that it's biased. If I was doing Maths, Physics and Chemistry, I'd be predicted FFF, no doubt. However it is a good way of compareing the intelligence of two or more local people, right?

They were the best bit. Then I turned into a vegitarian hippie socialist and stopped going to McDonalds.

Gehrkins have 4 calories in each. Thus, as you'd probably use up over five calories chewing and digesting them, eating them makes you lose weight. Right?

I love pickles more than my mum and dad put together.

I was there

It's the French spelling. Sorry.

I have no idea about the context of it, but it's a stunning photograph. Look at the girl's eyes! Amazing.

That one I do remember. I remember this one guy so enthusiastically jumping on top of the statue and hitting it with his shoe.

I wish I was older when this happened so I could have actually understood it. I don't know of any famous images from the Rwandan Genocide, but that's what's left from it. 1 million people died I think. That's 1/6th of the hollocaust. ... it almost worked

Ice cream sucks. It's not about fatty food. It's ALL about vegetables. Mmm...
