May as well get a good nights sleep and catch up on everything in the morning. Can't complain.

I suppose that wasn't entirely unexpected. I think I'll just tranquillise myself for 24 hours and catch up on everything when it's up. Night all *clubs self*.

See, now it's at this point that huge interest crashes the entire site for several hours.

I know, but getting excited is fun!

Six years? Bloody hell, me and my mates still play it constantly.

I should most certainly hope that they don't feel pressured to use the Wiimote unless they genuinely feel that it will bring something to the game. Since it's a game that will appeal primarily to an existing fan base regardless of it's control scheme, I'm sure they will only go for what only works perfect and not even bother trying to shoehorn what doesn't.

I don't know really. The last time things were getting genuinely bad was during my school days, and then I just retreated into a sort of mental shell.

Isn't Nintendo holding some kind of press shindig over the next 2-3 days?

I wonder if they'll reveal any other 3rd party characters? I always pick fast, hard hitting characters, so if Sonic makes it in he could well end up being "my guy".

It'll be sometime tomorrow afternoon, probably around 4-ish GMT would be my guess, so don't wait up.

I've yet to savour any of Mario's papery goodness, so I will pray for his coming to VC. I really should play some, I know.

Don't worry, it's just a minor software glitch in his system. Does anyone else feel like it's the day before Christmas or something? Just to get some bleeding' info on the game? By the time they finally release the thing I think I may explode.

Gentlemen, we are now into the last 24 hours. I think it's time for a comic:

Bleh. All these Hollywood sequels aren't doing it for me. Roll on Bollywood and Asian cinema.

Having looked at all these "advanced techniques" I'm glad to see they're nothing like snaking in MKDS, which I believe to be tantamount to setting your golfing opponent on fire.

Waking Life Not so much a film in the tradition of character and plot, more of a series of lectures and moments set against the frame of a time and place where nothing has to fit unless you find relation with it. Watched bolt upright clicking a pen. 7/10

I'm back into my Flaming Lips collection again, which is normally an indication of mild brain dysfunction before finally discovering a new state of mental existence about a week down the line. Good.

Unless he helped conceive 24, I very much doubt it.

It was aright. I liked the pseudo-24 conception. I'm also always glad when somebody figures out that you can't actually hear anything in space.

I'd give it at least a couple of months first actually, just until everyone has unlocked all the characters and had time to experiment and find "their guy". To do otherwise would be sacrilege against the whole process.

I think you mean: "I'm going to live to see you eat that contract, and when you do, I hope you leave enough room for my fist, because I'm going to ram it into your stomach, AND BREAK YOUR GODDAMN SPINE!"

I hope they bring back the ready-made 64-man tournament system. That would absolutely shred in online.

Time for a comic I think:

What's the release date on this again? Or is it currently floating around in the "Not until we say it's ready" file?

Channel 5 probably blew their entire budget for the next few years just on Neighbours, which may explain the quality of most, if not all of the rest of their programming. Been saving up for it clearly.
