I bet you would.

I'm on my way! I think I'll nab this British Airways 737. If I'm going to go out, I may as well do it some class.

I'm thinking some kind of first person Oblivion-like setup with Wiimote based hackery and slashery would be quite good.

£3000 up front for every year of Uni study = soft crying noise coming from my wallet.

I may settle for the GC version of TP - Being a student + recent legislation = minature piles of moolah = possibly sticking with GC for a while. I certainly hope that $170 rumour is true.

Actually, that IS very true. Not for me though, could never handle the heat. Or the temperature.

Can we assume a change of site logo as well?

That statement is just so wrong smoke started comming out of monitor. May I recommend Timesplitters 2 - you may have on another format anyway, but if you haven't there it is. F-Zero is an absolute must-have. Totally wipes the floor with Wipeout. Wario Ware is the ultimate party game, but if you must get Mario Party only get MP5. MArio Sunshine is superb, as is Metroid and the Pikmin games. Skies of Arcadia is also worth a spin, even if you don't like RPGs. Hitman 2 remains the best in the series so far in my opinion, and it's ludicrously high-action brother Freedom Fighter is boundless fun. Phantasy Star Online is a must have if you have a couple of willing mates, even without any actual online mode. I would also like to recommend Metal Arms - Glitch in the System. Definitly worth trawling for on Ebay. Barely anyone bought it, which is a damn shame as it's one of the best shooters on GC. Challenging, fabulous game.

Yup, Congrats and good luck! Are you hoping for a guy or a gal or either?

The magnificent lollypop is an especially nice touch.

Lol to all - Moria matrix especially.

Given the Ninty titles likely to be online, I think I'll survive somehow.

I suspect to hope so would be just a tad optimistic.

I seem to recall they're doing dark-matter experiments in a deep mine shaft in Yorkshire. I wonder how that's going?

This just so, so bad. Just... just no. Someone needs to tell these people when to fucking stop.

QFT. Also that '95 Honda Civic cupe looks tasty. Hondas just run and run.

It's only worth watching once - it's just a little outside the line in order to be "so bad it's funny." Close, but no cigar.

Anything that circumnavigates the ethical barriers to this stuff can only be a good thing.

So why not at least put the effort into making your own "hybridisation" and create something at least vaguely new-ish to watch with it's own merits, instead of remaking an established classic like The Wicker Man, which you have almost no chance of improving or augmenting positively in any concievable way? This is why it's called "creativity". You have to at least attempt to create your own, original, plot, sub-plot, characters, development, atmosphere, drama situations and story structures in order to justify yourself as an artist or film maker. You can't if all you do is "remake" the work of others. Such "remakes" beyond the most basic of translations aren't deemed justifyable in literature, art or alternative music. Why film and popular music?

You can justify remakes anyway you want, but they are creavtively and artistically immoral, unless they're totally different to the original product anyway. With just about all remakes, someone somewhere is earning money from someone elses ideas and work and it really stinks. If I copy someone elses painting I haven't "remade" it, I've stolen it. Just because I did it in watercolours instead of oil, or "modernised" it by adding flashing lights doesn't change that - not my idea, not my work - in fact I'll have probably ruined it - so why do I deserve money for it? Further more, why do people always remake classic films and songs and so on? Classics like Battle Royale, The Wickerman, Les Visiteurs, The Omen and song after song by The Beatles, Queen and The Who always get redone, and are never superior to the original. Why do cartoon makers fell the need to rip off shows like Thundercats or Looney Toons? If you simply HAVE to remake something, why not find something that maybe had a good idea, but was rubbish, like Canadian Bacon, Reign of Fire, Will & Grace and countless "punk fusion" tracks. The odd remake once in awhile is normally fine, but in this current age of an imagination-starved entertainment industry, it's gone way too far beyond a joke. Not even a funny one. I thought people like you were just a myth.

HAve we learned NOTHING from Sonic Underground? Jesus christ, this has to be the most stereotypical POS in history. What in gods name? I've only ever watched a couple of episodes, bit wasn't Snarf the weird small thing? How the hell did they come up with that? They must be either high, or just incredibly stupid.

This could be the greatest cartoon show since Loonatics!
