Of course, what if Bungie had carried their original conception through to the end and made Halo the RTS it was originally designed to be? Now there's a scary thought.

You make it sound like the game is being developed by their press department. The actual dev team went to Disney land.

I think I might still have couple of scars on my head from those times I had stitches when I was kid. Hold on until the hereditary baldness starts kicking in and I'll get back to you.

Hmmm, according to this thread so far, I'm the most balanced person on the forum and my best friend's with the most unbalanced person on the forum. Me & martinist must be like Ying & Yang, two opposites co-existing as one beautiful whole, maintaining the life balance across the universe. According to this dodgy on line questionnaire anyway.

Morderate for "Schizoid" and "Schizotypal", low on everything else. Apparently. Not entirely convinced.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind "Daddy, after this can we throw dirt in my window?" 9/10

I have a problem with the idea of "playing" CoD games. Don't get me wrong they're great games, but when they are at their best you almost may as well staple the "W" key down and enjoy the ride.

I know you're fed up with it, but you've just planned my next holiday for me with that picture. Anyway, around here it's really quite pleasant. Not to crowded, lake district within reach, nice shops. Could do without the racism and homophobia though. It's not overly blatant, but there are some people wandering around simmering with it. BNP like to set up a stall every now and again. God I hate those bastards. Otherwise, nice.

Fantastic. Hurrah for Aimless! Nicest bloke and best avatar on the whole damn forum!

I'll knock out my own front teeth if they didn't specifically do this to garner negative press.

Good to see Captain Fisher's son has successfully inherited his father's fine moustache. Precisely when is it set though? It seems to suggest levels ranging from Korea to modern day Iraq and Afghanistan. In style at least.

They really should make Mushroom Kingdom Hearts one day though. I know I don't have to say this, but I'm going to anyway: it would sell shitloads.

Well, that wasn't great but it was OK. I don't mind them bringing the daleks back all the time, but do they always have to escape? Next episode looks corking though. I now await Rokheds enraged banter.

Just martinist. We've been best mates since about 2nd or 3rd year I think ( though we've known each other even longer), so about six years or so now. Time in his company is always time well spent.

Amongst other things: Late night Scrubs Things with "chibi" in the title The film version of Asterix in Britain That gigantic 2nd hand book shop down the road Francesco da Mosto Formula One Spiders Baileys Irish Cream Hills and mountains Ice cream Satirical panel shows Benjamin Zephaniah's poetry Black and white Hollywood films The song "Reasons to be Cheerful" Long walks The Flaming Lips The fantasy of space Clouds Orangina

God, I hope not. I've got nothing against EA but as a British gamer I don't want to see one of the UKs last major publishing houses get bought into the American juggernaut. Besides, every acquisition by the rival facistic empires of EA or Ubisoft brings us another step closer to an apocalyptic future of 3rd party support consisting almost entirely of sequels, movie and comic adaptations being inexpertly shoehorned from one console onto the rest. Brrrrr.

Not intentional, but reading it back I totally see where you're coming from. Sometimes when I'm surfing around here and an idea grabs me I just like to type it and post it straight off. It's a bit annoying in a way though, some of my best stuff is probably on here, and I still have a college portfolio to fill!

It's a bright April morning, warm with perfect puffy clouds chasing each other playfully across the azure sky. I'm sitting alone on a wall under the shade of a large oak tree. Behind me lies an ancient and remarkably well kept graveyard filled with the peaceful dead. To my left a path winds over the hill, while to my right the farm track leads back through the cattle fields. Both end in exactly the same place. A crow caws overhead, returning with food for it's mate and chicks. In front of me lies a vast expanse of luxuriant green that seems to stretch forever over the hills, but I know it doesn't. Eventually I would be caught in the trap of the lay, and forced to either brave rapids of the river or the thundering mechanical nightmare of the road. I doubt I have the spine to do either. There's a part of me that just wants to go home, go home and skulk like a dog where it's safe, and quiet and nothing happens. That I must resist, the promise of an empty life, comfortable and ultimately hollow. Still, it's early and it's pleasant here, so I will sit and ponder it some more. Perhaps if I'm lucky some passer by will come and help me decide what to do.

Bought a couple of things, so I decided to amalgamate them:

Nintendo must have tremendous faith in them to grab such a huge share in them.

An 80% share? Awesome. Good acquisition I say, wanna see some more stuff besides Baten Kaitos though please.

Kudos to Raining Again, who has one of the tidiest and most pleasant looking PC innards ever. Also Bogbas, can I assume that your graphics card heat sink sounds like F-16 taking off too?

I am incredibly hot for this game. I love stuff like a changing your gear actually making a goddamn visual difference to your character for once. This is turning into my dream RPG, I must have it! Is there a projected release date for this puppy?

I honestly had never heard of Guilty Gear until this thread. But I'm going to assume this is a good thing.

Doh, now you lot are just showing off. So anyway please enjoy your free tour of hot, dusty, HSF on CPU action!!!
