  1. How about Pokemon? Team Rocket, the Cops, trainers, centre attendants, shop keepers, Gym masters, all the usual suspects.
  2. Sign me up. I'm tempted to suggest something like a WH40k theme, (Space marines, daemons, Inquisition, Orks ect.) but I that could be hard to organise unless you're up on the source material. Following on from the F1 scandals, how about some kind of sports themed game. Football or horse racing or something, where mysterious figures with vested interests in some of the local teams (a.k.a. Money) are out and about amongst the players/jockeys/drivers/curlers muderising their enemies. Failing that, Pirates V Ninjas. Lets settle this bitch once and for all.
  3. Tip to anyone playing Forza - for the love of god, never, ever turbo charge a FWD without genuinely massive handling upgrades. Otherwise it's like trying to control a raging elephant with dental floss.
  4. Bah, yet another defeat away. At least it wasn't another 6-goal drubbing. I'd better have better luck at home, or things won't be looking good. Unless I score a couple of big victories that nasty goal difference is going haunt me later.
  5. Take my advice and invest in a Twister set instead. You'll never look back. Anyway, I felt oddly tired today, and I desperately need to take a stroll to the recycling dump. All these Guardian news papers all over the place are starting to resemble David Camerons worst nightmare. What can I say, I adore Charlie Brooker.
  6. I agree with Aimless up thar. Why not just save themselves the time, money and effort and just air the originals in the mainstream, and be happy with it? Simon Pegg is a rising brand name in the states, what the hell do they have to loose? The original deserves to be seen by as many people as possible.
  7. Yes, but now she'll be able to show up all those bastard Yankee white bread 50 Cent wanabes by serving them while playing Halo.
  8. If you haven't, I definitely recommend the original Longest Journey. Some of the graphics haven't aged very well, but it's so brilliantly magical you just won't give a damn. You can get it on Steam for about a fiver.
  9. Howls Moving Castle. Also, Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
  10. I wouldn't mind being immortal. I'd be just to damn curious to see where the world might go.
  11. Been watching the Mass effect vids again. I think I may have to deny myself it's glories until at least the New Year though. Money isn't tight as per say, but I'd still like to suckle most of what I can out of my recently acquired selection first.
  12. There's loads of fireworks being launched from peoples back yards around here tonight. They've been going off almost constantly for the last couple of hours. Popped down to the shops, it was like walking through south central Baghdad.
  13. Dear god, I simply loathe this level where you're crawling around inside the Flood/Gravemind/Covenant Ship thing. Everything looks the same so you have no idea where you're going, and the wall hangers keep blowing me away from a distance while I'm too busy defending myself against the ground troops. There doesn't seem to be any sort of difficulty curve. The previous couple of levels I could have done in my sleep (unhelpful allies not withstanding), while the first three levels or so kicked my ass up and down the room until my cheeks had polished the floor to a mirror shine.
  14. Actually, the majority rarely do. Hollywood is just run by phenomenal idiots. Titanic very nearly never got made because producers felt that audiences didn't want to "see a film set on water." Apparently worldwide revenue for Hollywood productions are down 27% this year. Some have blamed the "Halo 3" effect attracting audiences elsewhere. Just about everyone else blames the complete drek they keep shovelling out.
  15. Good lord, I didn't know there was an Astro Boy movie coming. I assume it's a Japanese production, I daren't wonder who Hollywood would hire Jeff Goldblum to play.
  16. I always felt sorry for Square Block. Always bravely sacrificing half of himself for the cause, but does he get any credit? Does he heck.
  17. For once I agree with Jezzer, cars without doors are brilliant things. I'd love it if all cars were all like that - purely utilitarian steel shells with wheels and an engine. It's one of the reasons I sometimes wish for the apocalypse. None of this chrome and leather air-con metallic paint nonsense. See how many people "need" a car then.
  18. So far I have to say the Halo 3 campaign is better then I thought it would be, better then Halo 2 at any rate. Not that that would be a hard thing mind. There's a couple of nice set pieces which helps mix things up, but the whole thing still feels a bit constricted and skittish compared to the epic simplicity of the original. Cortana's really starting to piss me off too. In fact there's a lot of story, seemingly in a bid to emulate Half Life 2, but neither the script or the voice acting is good enough to justify itself. Also, why can't the earth forces be as intelligent as the Covenant? Being completely and utterly inebriated while at the wheel seems to have become mandatory military procedure in the 26th century.
  19. Yeah I was getting those too when I tried to join you. Sometimes there's a little pop up yo remind me. You have to get into your router settings and I think you have to disable IP filtering on your security settings. I think it did the trick.
  20. Just generally very sexy then?
  21. Now, I'm actually in the mood for a little softly surreal Sigur Ros, but I'm tired, and when I'm tired I tend to weep very softly while listening to Sigur Ros, so I'm saving that until I'm done with Xbox for the night and I've moved on to the whisky and cornflakes. For manly-men activities like playing Halo 3, I'll be sticking with the strictly heterosexual sounds of Queen and the Bee Gees. Yes. Incidentally, I've discovered that my entire life philosophy, which I developed during my night classes at the school of Hard Knocks and trimming the Buddha's toenails, is summed up in it's entirety by the song "Staying Alive." This is both an elation and an annoyance.
  22. Nice one Fierce, looks like you finally came through on top of things all right. Good to have you with us again.
  23. Been up since 5am. Spent the day paint balling with a couple of Uni mates. Fantastic fun. Only tagged a few guys, but did well enough to be a nuisance. Our student and family team lost every match, though we seemed to be pitted against a larger team of paint ball and military enthusiasts who's numbers were considerably bulked up by dragging their girlfriends along. I made at least two people swear. Might go see the city fireworks display tonight, though there seem to be plenty of people in the more immediate area willing to blow their own faces off for my entertainment.
  24. It's being the only new team to loose their opening match that makes this bitter, though my team seem to be working well together. Better adjust my strategy me thinks.
  25. At least you'll have something better then childish insults about racial minorities and your penis to fall back on when you do.
