Oi, I know. The worst though is when it comes out at an awkward angle and catches you unaware, and then you've got to readjust. It's horrifying especially if you're at somebody else's place. Dangerous activity this, innit?

I'd be thankful if I were you, you wouldn't believe the amount strategy and precision that can be required sometimes.

Halo is one of the great masterpieces of our age and will go down in future history as the game that will define gaming itself in the early 21st century. And I'm sticking to my guns on that one. Halo 2? Fantastic multi player, but the campaign wasn't so hot. I'm sticking by that one too.

Wow, that looks pretty awesome. I'm not a Gundam fan (I once watched three episodes back to back on Toonatic, all of which was two guys floating statically in giant robot suits chatting with each other, while the occasional orange blip in the background reminded us of the super-awesome mega battle for Earth that was supposedly happening elsewhere - I can only assume the animation department was on strike) but I love big stompy robots. So this looks like tremendous fun.

It's from a 2nd party dev though anyway. If they're not doing anything, they could be doing worst things then cracking on with an Excitetruck sequel, which, as I've said before but I'll before, is simply screaming for meatier follow up. Throw some 6-player online and some crazier environments on there (more of the nebula course please) and you'd be laughing. Hell, you'd be balling your head off with hysteria.

Can't say I approve of this kind of public ridicule of mental illness.

I'll be at my writing course for at least the next 2-3 years, after that, who the fuck knows. Best guess, I'll end up working part time in various bit-jobs so I have something to eat while I do my writing, before jetting off to mark English homework for polite, smiley children in some obscure Chinese metropolis. Eventually I'll return and take a more regular part time job teaching our own home grown little shit heads how to use punctuation. Later I'll have some minor publishing success and then make inroads into television, earning myself a small obituary in The Times when I finally keel over and die of heart disease. I will be 68 years old and survived by my two daughters and five grandchildren.

Did somebody mention tractor beams?

Are you Batman? Seriously though, you've got yourself a nice little date with what sounds like smashing lass, and there's clearly a spark in the air. So long as you don't start pelting custard or something at her it sounds like you're in with a bloody good shout.

And gripped in the dead, rigid fingers of every bloody body littering the streets of Scotland during the same period.

Bran flakes, organic yoghurt and fresh vegetables. And see a doctor for petes sake.

That's not true. What about that girlfriend you used to have who ran away from you?

Wheee, thanks everyone! Today I took leave of my teenage days and inaugurated the new era by buying a pair of Chino's. They're soooooo comfortable!

Oh my sweet jack jumping Jesus. It's like my brain has been torn from it's skull without the cerebral cortex snapping, allowing me to watch helplessly as it gets sexually molested by a gigantic, blood thirsty bear.

To use counter measures you have to shakes the 'mote, when "deploy flares" starts flashing at you. And personally I prefer air-ground missiles. Bombs I mostly use for stuff like boat clusters. Still trying to get a grasp of torpedoes though.

I wish somebody would throw Martha's character a bone. When asked for her opinion she may as well have just shrugged her shoulders and fallen down the nearest man hole. The lassie's a medical student for petes sake. Otherwise, pretty good stuff again. I'll wait to see how this whole dalek-man story pans out before passing judgement. I'd love to see more of the conflict between the Daleks.

It's grey, blustery and peppered with intermittent drissle where I am. Boo.

He also did Shaolin Soccer (Kung Fu Hustle was his follow up). I've only watch the first 40 minutes of that too, must get back to it sometime. I don't think it's quite as good as Kung Fu Hustle, but definitely worth a look.

Let us however not forget the harsh lessons learned from the global catastrophe that was George Clooney and his rubber nipples. Twas a dark time. An evil time. A time when all our gods had abandoned us and left mankind alone to stare, transfixed, at the unspeakable horror of his own creation. And then the screaming started...

Kung Fu Hustle High class and stylish kung-fu action comedy that will leave you giggling like a school girl. Includes top hats. 8/10

Shame. Get it on DVD anyway, you won't regret it.

Vanilla Sky Tom Cruise is on good form in this odd and sensual sci-fi. A dreamy and sometimes dark romance set to a Sigur Ros soundtrack. 8/10

This is probably worth watching for the most be-muscled 12 year old lad ever.

Be sure to set a variety of hilariously ingenious traps around the house for when the TV license people come knocking.

Ayup, will be catching this. I've seen about the first hour or so, but I have yet to watch all the way full. Cracking film from what I saw of it though.
