I'm pretty sure Nintendo would come up with a more inventive name then "Ancient castle" anyway.

I've just found it Chris Morris - he did Brass Eye and The Day Today. I thought I saw him somwhere before. "Why is it that now no one can think of the word isles, without the words "British paedoph" in front of it?" Why the hell was that banned?

I agree with that. This whole situation is just a complete mess, and hopefully the whole thing will blow over soon.

How can we have debate unless we disagree with each other?

Can we all at least agree to disagree then?

I disagree. I believe that had the police taken direct action at the scene, it would have very possibly provoked a violent response from the crowd. It would end up all over the news and would only have given the extremists cause more impoteus, leading to young Muslims being further encouraged to join them. If any action really is nescerry, better some low profile arrests or fines later on.

Prehaps, but better that then starting a riot in the middle of London and provoking the extremists. Besides, they've got the whole thing on tape, so the police may yet decide to take action.

There was an article on the BBC discussing this. They reckon that if the police had moved in there and then, they would have only inflamed the situation. I think that seems likely, and I fully trust the police to take any and all nesecerry action as they see fit.

Unbelievably, I find it highly unlikely that the entire Muslim community are going to don C4-lined wastcoats and start charging into the nearest train station come July. Don't ask me why. Just call it instinct.

I think he meant is that there will inevitably be a right-wing BNP style, dumbass, imperialistic response to this (probably in the Daily Mail). I think what he is trying to get at though is the media coverage, which I personally don't find to be totally satisfactory. I just can't help but feel that the media has allowed its self to be hijacked by the Islamic extremist minority, and that the right wing extremist minority are bound to use this to their own political advantage. EDIT: I totally agree with Domo Kun just up there, my point is we shouldn't overreact to the Islamic community just because a few idiots say something crappy. The problem is some people inevitably will.

Look at them though, they are all almost identical. Heck, the card they are mounted on looks like it came from the same cardboard box.

I'm pretty sure he was speaking figuratively. Relax.

Hey, I hadn't noticed that all the signs were written in the same hand. Just goes to show that those signs, although terrible, are clearly the work of a tiny extremist minority. Well spotted and a good point Domo Kun.

Yeah, i saw the IT crowd. I really enjoyed it. Needs a bit of tweaking, but it's a pretty damn good start for a new series. Where have I seen that guy that plays their shouty boss before?

Whoa, chill dude. I know what I said might have been pretty obvious, but sometimes It's worth saying it anyway just so we don't forget, you know? I never even thought you suggested otherwise, I just posted that as sort of a general reminder, and as my own general opinion.

Don't worry. Half the time players just use the voice chat menu (press X, C, and V,) just to add to the effect, with "Move up!" being popular simply because it's a good all purpose thing to shout mid battle. DoD is tough, but you'll soon get used to the in and outs of it. Dying a lot is all part of the game anyway. Dods main difference from CS is the fact half the time you'll get shot, blown up, and cut down by friendly fire all the time, but it is all part of the fun. I recommend you stick the OC clan server in your favourites. It's a nice, friendly, UK based server,. Don't expect me on for at least 6 months though - my college connection suxers. (They also have CS and Goldeneye: Source servers - maybe see you there sometime!)

I think they're just angry, and unfortunetly people say and do stupid things when they are angry. We all do it from time to time, have either done or said something to someone which we regret later. These people are angry, prehaps justly so, so some of them end up doing or saying something stupid, like torching embassys or wishing for more terrorist attacks. It's the fragility of the human condition (at the risk of being overly sentimental.) Still, it's worth keeping in mind that these people are only a tiny minority among the entire, mostly rational non-embassy torching Islamic population, and are not representative of the Islamic faith. To say they are would be like saying George Bush represents all Christians.

One anime that really surprised me was Patlabor. I bought Patlabor 1 & 2 on the basis that I was gettingsome nice stompy-robot action. What I wasn't expecting was the fantastic techno political thriller that the stompy robot action was just a small part of. Patlabor 2 especially is a particulary gripping and philsophical film about the morality of war set amongst a major crisis in Japanese politics as the country slowly spirals towards civil war. Excellent stuff.

I'm not sure, but i think it will probably take at least a couple of hours on 512kb. You can always just pause the update and continue later if need be.

I heard these should be up within a couple of weeks. As for the whole accidental T-killing thing, I kind of like that whole thing of having to double check your targets before opening fire. It makes it sort of more realistic in a way. Although it is annoying accidentally shooting a team mate in the face after meeting him around a shadowy corner.

Ninty have got lots of confrences lined up for the near future, so hopefull they will give us something then.

Hey has anyone seen the new SAS and Leet krew models. I must say I'm reasonably impressed. The Leet model rather nicely dapper - like some kind of evil James Bond. The SAS model just looks damn cool. I'm a big Hunk fan (from Resi) and it's like my wildest fantasy came true.

Wowsers, that's a pretty violent reaction to a pretty stupid point of view (assuming he's not joking). I think my faith in humanity just jumped 20 points.

Let's not pay too much attention to this guy - he is the enemy after all. All the companies will be fuming toxic PR clouds like a volcanic range (with Reggie actually spitting fire), so I think we can all look forward to this kind of cheap, baseless fanboy esque bitch slapping for many months yet.

I just don't understand what your argument is. When you kept pointing the gunmen out I simply, through some crazy cognitation process, assumed you were trying to make some kind of point.
