So, why does everyone hate her again? The way everyone's going on about her you'd think she was a genocidal maniac or something.

Whoo, well done all, and special thanks to Cube. Hope Flinky is watching this.

Good grief, with that kind of bandwidth I could physically crawl up your connection into your house and rob your sorry ass.

Tremors A sweaty Kevin Bacon and a finely haired Earl Bassett take on some bad ass burrowing mother humpers. Great, consumable, monster-comedy action 7/10 "I vote for outer space. No way these are local boys."

Happy Birthday to NEs resident SG-1. Can I call you SG-1? Y'know, because your everyone's number one? No? Well, I'm going to do in any case. Seriously you're awesome.

I think you can pretty much consider canned now.

It's almost certainly an MMO. Eventually everyone's is going to stop playing Warcraft, by which point the Starcraft MMO will be already hovering malevolently, ready to swoop upon it's hapless victims as they stand blinking in the light.

My Wii reads off my Kingston 2GB SD just fine. What specifically is your problem?

Nah, I'd avoid Edinburgh. It's a strange mixture of high art and shortbread. Glasgow is pretty decent though, and I've heard excellent things about the night scene in Dublin.

If you go to London the one thing I would absolutely recommend a trip to the British Museum. The exhibits there are just simply astounding and it has surprisingly relaxed and airy atmosphere to it all. You often art students sitting around sketching the exhibits. I could spend days in there just wondering around. What I would recommend is get a tourist guide and you'll almost certainly find all sorts that would grab your fancy as you go. You should be able to get around quite easily with just a basic grasp of English. Last time I was there all the restaurants seem to have been taken over by Spanish people anyway. Fantastic food. If you want to go somewhere slightly unusual you should definitely consider the city of Varna in Bulgaria. My dad and his girlfriend went there for holiday and apparently it was wonderfully hot with a great beach. The hotels are fantastic, with some amazing local open-air performances and the side streets are filled with cats lounging around the place. Lots and lots of cats. They showed me one picture, the whole side street was basically carpeted with cats.

My mum took a holiday to Rome a while back and said she absolutely loved it. My Dad and his girlfriend also once took a trip to Venice and apparently that was absolutely magical too, so by the sounds of things an Italian city would be a worthwhile consideration. I would also highly recommend London, the whole city is simply bursting with a fantastic energy. I've been there numerous times and I've loved it more and more each time. It's the best place to go if you're in a mood to explore. You should visit all the main attractions, but venturing even slightly into the side streets can reveal untold wonders, including superb art galleries and some fantastic small markets that still survive despite corporate culture.

Well they needn't have bothered, the last episode gave them the best figures of the night with a 37.1% share. Just as long as it keeps as many people away from Vernon Kay as possible.

Nobody can deny that Tennant has brought a certain appeal to the show. If the fashion columns are to be believed their are housewives up and down the country bullying there beloveds into trying on slim fit trench coats and light cotton suits. Tennant's on Parky right now with largely female audience practically drooling all over him. I'm willing to bet that's it actually. There's clearly a time traveller of some kind knocking around, but evidentially not an actual time lord.

How can anyone not know Q*bert? They should be teaching this kind of @!#?@! in schools by now.

I'd say there's definitely an argument. I can see why some may have found him a tad abrasive for the role, but I personally very much enjoyed his northern charm.

I'm pretty sure it's because the FA doesn't allow mixed teams after the age of eleven. As such women's football and other sports has only taken off over the last decade or so along with the woman's rights movements, and there is still very little grass roots support for female talent. And, yes, ideally you really shouldn't go around hitting women. It doesn't give off a good image to other people.

I don't know what your definition of "cheap RAM" is but anyway, get it from Crucial. Only place to go. http://www.crucial.com/uk/

That is wonderfully sweet. Is it a boy? girl? Given it a name yet?

That's the whole bleedin point though surely? Doctor Who isn't Battlestar Galactica or SG1 or Firefly, with planets that all look suspiciously like the LA foothills, futuristic martial arts and fleets of Americans and their make up crews. It's prime time family entertainment, not your average zero-gee wankfest.

This the very nature of the PC market though surely? No matter how much you spend souping up your rig you're only going to be leader of the pack for a couple of months at the very most. C'mon we've all heard the song.

You really should get Excitetruck and SSX. If not, Eledees is out soon, might wan to give that a go. Heatseeker is great too.

Ahhh, that's good idea. Nice call.

I would certainly rate Halo as a masterpiece, quite simply because it does the two things that a masterpiece should do: It shows everyone else not only what to do next, it also shows them how it bloody well should be done. Very, very few works in any medium can claim to achieve this, but I believe Halo can. When Halo came into the world it didn't just make it's presence felt, it blasted whomping great holes in the FPS genre and then belted it over the head. As for Half Life I'm actually quite disappointed given how little it appears to have influenced other games. In fact I'm fucking livid as I think the foundations that were laid first by Half Life, and then by it's sequel could and should form the basis for story telling in games across almost all genres. It's a work of perfect genius, finally devising a methodology of guiding the player down a linear path that doesn't feel at all linear, while incorporating complex story elements that are still now largely alien to video games ("Character" and "plot" and "not shooting everything the face", amongst others). Finally, a true "interactive movie". I think Half Life's problem could very well be that it is still years ahead of it's time. I suspect, hope and prey that in future years gamers and game makers will look back on Half Life as a precious beacon, a holy oracle that foretold of the wonders to come but was was ultimately forced to wait until the slow passage of time finally proved it in the right.

Why, what happened? Was vomit involved? "Ha ha ha ha ha! You think this is the real Quaid? It is!"

Wait... you mean you're not gay? Doh, I'm disappointed now. Anyway, I really hope so. DS seems to becoming a bit of an RPG fest, might be hard to choose between this, FF:RW and DQ. I don't have time for them all!
