    co-oincidently, i just finnished it too. i particularly liked how the humour seemed a huge contrast against the horrors that crop up. one of my favorite parts was the scene in italy near the end, it was one of the most vivd imagies ive ever taken from a book. the book made laugh aloud, and brought me close to tears, it seemed at the same time dissjointed and awkward to read, as well as beautifully written. id say thats the major theam i took from the book contrast and obviously contradiction. id give it slightly lower 8/10, simply becasuse i spent so long wandering what was going on. i also recently read Brave new world i loved it, it was so clever, so engrosing, so absorbing. the bleakness of it all, the society thats just the right mix of eutopia and dystopia, the huge sense of lonlyness, it was all so well put together 8/10

    i always wanted to know why they suddenly start singing in kids films. if that happened at random, while im out at the pub with my mates, if we all suddenly burst into song about the next night out we were palnning, wed get barred from the pub. it would be seriosuly freaky.

    utterly loved it. especialy when hes scrabeling away on the floor. reminds me of anouther recent news items http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20091007/tuk-yobs-floored-by-cage-fighters-in-dra-45dbed5.html personaly, i recon we should make chav hunting an olympic sport, its great to watch some thug get his face deservedly smashed.

    Thanks! its more irritating then anything, i mean, some of the group have an excuse, they are in cornwall and probly dont have internets right now, so how'd they know? outhers, well it just goes to show, alot of talks about being friends for life don't necicarily mean you'l get birthday wishes.

    my day has been kinda lame. so its my birthday, but apparently, all the friends i made at uni seem to have forgotton. just one of them has said happy birthday, feel kinda gutted about that. was out with my friends from round here last night, it was nice, had a load of laughs, got loads of drinks bought, danced horrificly and generaly behaved like an idiot. having to go to work on your bday sucks, working with a hang over sucks, working when ill sucks. i did all 3. totaly amazine coincidence, my first call at work was a mother calling for her son, who's birthday it was today, and who was called chris. it was pretty amazine. i was just thinking wouldent it be freaky to get some one who shared birthdays with me to phone in today?

    1. Charlie Brooker is a bit of a cult hero, his programs screenwipe and newswipe are both ammusing, and informative, usualy making some form of commentery on the media and the people it effects. he also did a fairly ammusing celebrity gameshow, you have been watching. 2. The program hadn't been screened before, hence it was new. It is also considered new as it was not screenwipe nor newswipe, his previous programs. 3. the large interest was due to the fact he has a decent fan base, and of course, because it was on the subject of games, a subject that rarely gets a fair hearing on televison. hope that helps

    one of the teaser adverts ive seen was even more amazine. i was litteraly gob smacked.

    i get the same shit, its so annoying, keep trying to convince me halo and l4d are coming to ps3. im not interested in either, hence i dont own an xbox.
  14. Chris the great
    well, seeing as how its the same price as the standard game any way, i'll be getting the collectors edition. its not exactly got alot of great stuff, certainly not as good as naughty dog suggested a few months ago.

    i don't think sf4 is comperable to rock band in that scenario, i mean, its not like you bought it for the titles and icons is it? i did like his point though, in somthing like rock band, locing songs does seem rather crule, but id hate to just start a game and have everything from the start. i mean, metroid, or more recently, batman, worked best by giving you new abilities slowly. it was nice to see games spoken about intelegently.

    it was rude, but really bad? he'd not go to jail over it (despite rez phoning the police)

    dara was good, but it felt like he was in there for the "celebrity" factor. id rather they used more people from the industry itself.

    i enjoyed, more then anything bacuse its made me think back to when i started playing games, how gaming has changed and how i've changed as well. felt like he went on about the new wolfensiten game for a bit to long.

    to be honest, even the best games of all imes have flaws. take OOT, as much as i adore that game, going to the bottom of the well is always some what of a chore, along with a fair bit of the shadow temple itself. im sure amoung thieves will have its flaws, but id wager they are lost in a sea of pure class.

    i agree. as much as id like to de-phalus the guy with a cheese grater, he has freedom of speech so can speak. really though, any one who is, or would consider voting for the BNP isnt going to be watching question time are they? two pints of lager and a paket of crisps will be on!

    Big Bang Theory "s3ep1" pretty damn funny, loved the tach moment "i call it the cloony" "i call it the mario and luigi" that had me in stitches.

    man work was busy! it was like, 40 seconds between calls for the first two hours. i had two of the funniest calls ive ever had. first one, im diagnosing this guys kids. both had stupid names, not in a "thats not english thats stupid" way but in a "you did that to be different way. after the kids were done i get to his wife, i ask him if his wife has markedly reduced urin out put, he says to his wife, "are you going wee wees less?" she was 35. i struggled to not laugh for the rest of the assessment. trying to read out a code while not laughing is a challenege. later on, a rather lovely soudning mother calls. she had a rather lovly accent, was chatty, funny and a real pleasure to talk to. i asked if he daughter was icy cold and wet to touch (i wasnt purving, its a question i have to ask) she says. "well, in her own words, shes "sweating like a fucking lemon"" it was so funny, she was laughing while i laughed which made it worse.

    just seen my friend's facebook photos of his lady friend. shes cute, but looks about 14. hes a nice guy but looks a little older then his 26 years at first glance. the photos kinda look like a dad out with his daughter or an nonce having a blinder of a day.

    day started well, i drove to work and did a pretty nice job, no near misses, no mistakes, only thing was stalling on a him due to not being used to my new car. should pass my test real soon. work itself was ok, had mostly nice people calling, got alot of my book read too (catch 22, if you wanted to know) decided to swing by the shops on my way home, pick up some ribena so that im not drinking water, so elected to walk 40 mins home via the shop rather then hop on the bus. this was, of course a mistake, as apparently, sainsburys needs to be shut after 4 on a sunday. whats he point? id go then, i know alot of people who would, im certainly not bothered that its the sabeth as i dont belive in god. why should i suffer? got home alreadya nnoyed, then get a huge lecture on the state of my room. apparently having possesions not hidden away makes me a bad person. i get to work tidying it, and put a load of stuff in a box then the box goes in my wardrobe. my mam looked at me like id just wiped my arse on the curtains and rants about how i aqt get a lift tommorow as i clearly didnt sort things out, just bundled them away. i use my angry voice and tell her, things are infact sorted, put in the box to keep them out of the way and in order, and that the box itself looks tidy, and even if it dosent its in the bloody wardrobe and no one will see. she left in a strop, maybe its cos i was rude, maybe its cos i was right, either way i was glad she wasnt in my face. god i hate living at home.

    i have dyspraxia, and i needed the extra time, dyspraxia is a co-ordination dissorder, the extra time simply helped me make my hand writting more readable, fair enough i say, as in real life im very rarly hand wrriting large ammounts of text against the clock for some one else to read.
