NGC is a very, very reliable magazine, and I am more then willing to take this as the truth. My only hang up is that I won't be able to read it for myself until I can get back to my college in-box in January. Bah! EDIT: Now the news has been allowed to sink, and after having a quick brush over the scans, I am now positively wetting mysef with excitment. Seriously, I am drowing in my own piss. Great stuff.

How about Dumb and Dumber? Seminal American comedy.

Check it OUT! . Reggie and Iwata have been talking to CNN, and have a few things to say. Reggie apparently claims that WoW style MMORPGs would be something he would like to see on Revo. Meanwhile Iwata was busy confirming the Revo as the natural home for FPS. Also, Reggie said that they had even more Revo info which they would be letting slip piece by piece in the run-up to next years E3. Tantalising.

Obviously mike-zim is well entitled to what is perfectly justified opinion. I just think he seems to be a tad down in the mouth about the whole thing. No, it is true, some marriages do fail, but some marriages also succeed. Vows do ineviatably get broken, it's not a perfect world. People still make vows to each other anyway though, because they actually would like to try and do their best to keep them, and that is a beuatiful thing.

I disagree completely. If a child is being bullied or being made to feel different from other kids due to the fact that he/she has same-sex parents, the fault is clearly with societies attitude to same sex couples, and not with the couple themselves. I see no reason why two men or two women cannot be responsible parents to a child.

Really? *Looks it up* Dang, you're right. Sorry about that. I always get those two get confused. Anyway, you get my point. Note for later: Michelangelo was the tortured genius. Leonardo was the tortured genius who invented the robot.

The Christian right has yet to give any kind of reason with any kind of significant backing from the Bible or any other source as to why homosexuality and gay marriage is wrong. One idiot on another forum once claimed that homosexuality was a mental disease. I wonder if right-wing Christians would be so against homosexuals if more of them knew Leonardo Da' Vinci, painter of the ceiling of the Cistine (is that spelt right?) chapel, was gay? (Also, how can you call people like Elton John and Ian McKellen "mentally unstable"? Yeeesssh.) I think you're mssing the point of the traditional wedding ceremony. You can form a civil partenership just to get the legal stuff out of the way without having to do it in a church or large garden gazebo or whatever simply by popping to your local registery office and each of you signing on the dotted line. The reason most people want to get married is rarely for simple legal purposes. They want to get married to express their love and commitment to each other, their family and friends, the state and to their god (if they happen to be religous, at least). That's where the giant cake, wedding dress, church/gazebo, big family party and giant piss-up afterwards come from. It's sort of like, at the risk of sounding overly sentimental, a big of celebration of love, primarly the love between the couple gettin' hitched. What's so big about gays being allowed to form "civil partnerships" is that now they are allowed to do all this stuff too in a manner which is recognised by the state and without fear of persecution from some psycho-religious maniac from Christian Voice. Besides, why waste a good excuse for a party? Edit by Fierce_LiNk: Watch the double post.

This ON-thing has got to die eventually, surely.

Zach Braff has the lead role doesn't he? Or am I just making that up?

Apocalypse Now. Best war film ever (apart from maybe Patton or The Dambusters).

Wallace and Gromit. All of them. Buy them, rent them, steal them. Feathers McGraw = Most sinister anything, ever.

Three great Studio Ghibli films: Spirited Away - sheer genius Princess Mononoke - Both highly entertaining and thought provoking Grave of the Fire Flies - About a guy and his little sister trying to survive in Japan near the end of WW2. A powerful, emotional, highly distressing film. Have the tissues ready.

The Magnificent Seven & The Seven Samurai! (western remake/japanese original) Both the original Samurai (the latter) and cowboy western (the former) versions are very, very good.

The general majority attitude to female gamers around here is both disturbing and depressing in equal measure. I feel ashamed of my gender. In fact, I think I'll just mosey on into a quiet corner over here and cut my balls off...

Truman Show Remember: It has Jim Carrey, but it's not a comedy, and you really need to watch it twice to fully understand it all. It's brilliant - very powerful and highly satirical. Also: Gattaca. Also brilliant. Which I think I will watch right...... now.

People usually get depressed during winter 'cause it's dark, and people don't get enough exercise because it is cold out. I would recommend you go for walk. That always makes me feel better somehow. I'm one of these types who enjoys padding the pavement at night. Nice moon out tonight actually... As for you Kurt, I would just chill man. You're still young, and it's difficult to know what to do sometimes. Are you still at school? I know I felt exactly the same when I was in school, especially towards the end. It just sucks all the life out of you. I found that I couldn't get my head together at all until I left. Now I have these weird things like "ambitions" and "ideas". Remember:School is evil

I still don't get what's so exciting about it's la-de-da new interface design. I just want the 64-bit functionality for my desktop.

The Black Stallion. Barely anyone's seen it. EVRYONE SHOULD SEE IT. It's about this kid who ends up becoming friends with this wild horse (trust me it's much better then it sounds). It's extaraordinarly well wrought. There's a single line of dialogue in the whole 2 hour film. Amazingly shot, great acting. Brilliant story. Fantastic. That, or Hercules in New York, starring Arnold "Strong" (geuss who) in his movie debut. It's hilariously funny, but for all the wrong reasons. Definitly recommended.

UFC: Throwdown anyone?

Either a Pokemon, or a brand new MMORPG would be great. What I don't like about most MMORPGs is that they're so damn complicated, constantly having to keep track of stats, items and about a billion important keyboard shortcuts. I hope Nintendo do what they do best and make a sweet, simple, immersive, fun MMORPG.

I think the software library will be key to attracting girls. All the violent, male dominated, overly complex games around aren't great for encouraging most girls, or indeed anyone who doesn't already regulary play video games into the industry. With the Revos brand controller, Nintendo can clear the way for new simplier control schemes which should go well with Nintendos own brand of fun, accessable family entertainment.

Swish! Hopefully they'll drag Alan Cumming in to the voice for Nightcrawler. He's a brilliant actor, and often seems to turn just about any role he touches into pure gold. It would be great to start seeing more of his calibre of acting talent in video games in the future.

Why is Kirstin Dunst starring in a a highly inaccurate re-telling of the life of a French pre-revolutionary aristocratic monarch?

Damn their hides!

Wow, it's really going epic on our arses. Dang, I really need to the X-men movies on DVD. I'm just hoping that we get another good dose of *BAMF* Nightcrawler *BAMF*. Although I've got a funny feeling he died at the end of X-men 2. I honestly can't remember, I havent seen it since it was in the cinema. I certainly remember some kind of tense situation involving a nuclear reactor or something. Screw Wolverine, why isn't Nightcrawler the star?
