There was a fireworks dispay last night - I wasn't at the site itself, but I could see the display clearly from a couple of miles away. I'll stick my head out the door to see if i can see anything tonight. I'm at college now, and I sure do miss going to the bonfire night with my friends at this village a few miles from my house.

Don't be ashamed! Both Primes are rock hard. I'm currently stuck on Echos myself - can't seemt to kill off the underwater boss you face after getting the under-water mobility suit. I gues I'll just have to keep trying.

I'm mostly listen to the radio and read Stanislavski or play Golden Sun when I'm not here or doing college stuff.

I'd say the replacement of our nuclear weapons arsenal is an improtant issue (I'm opposed).

At least there's a new series of the Peep Show coming on. That series is comedy class.

Sarka? I like it - sounds like the name of a cool Sci-fi RPG character. Probably someone with big hair and a small but kick-arse spaceship. 8/10

Episodes 4 and 5 were fantastic. Episode 6 was cool, but we could've done without the Ewoks. Episodes 1-3 are all rubbish (except for the pod racing scene).

Starwing! I don't think anything I will ever play will replace that fuzzy, warm and excited inside my belly then the words "SCRAMBLE! SCRAMBLE!" flashing across the screen. All your ladee-da flashy FF cutscenes can go to hell - show me a big red take-off alert and I'll be blasting hordes of enemies out of the skies over Corneria and throughout the surrounding system with a 100% hit-rate for each and every level. PS. Starwing remains the only game I've ever actually been appaling good at. Even up to the point of pwnage.

This patent has been doing the rounds recently. It idoes appear to be genuine, but seems unlikely to actually become anything solid. Although... This rather oddly comes after Shigsy let slip that he would "like games to fill the entire living room", before immediatly clamming up as soon as he said it. Who knows what Nintendo are up to...

Gosh dudes, I like, totally wanted to see Ep3 man, but then on the way to the cinema I like, noticed a giant pile of crushed glass at the side of the road, which this guy said I could roll around on for the same price as a cinema ticket, so I'm like "Wow! Totally Dude!" and I like, spent the next 3 months rubbing razor shards into my eyeballs instead. Man.

I hope it's something new - Killer7 was great, but somehow would be spoilt by a sequel. It would destroy it's uniquness you know.

Yeah, that sounds harsh. I've yet to get a girlfriend either - I just haven't found a girl I really like yet. I don't really see the point in spending time with someone I don't like. The again, maybe I shouldn't be so picky - being a college student, I'm lucky if I don't find a girl who isn't so drunk she's threatening to throw-up over me, all the while completely unaware of how loud she's shouting in my ear. Ahh, just ignore me.

There are a couple of good US shows around at the moment like Family Guy and Simpsons. Scrubs is OK. Friends, Cheers and Fraiser were all great too. Will & Grace is complete crap though. I think UK humour is much better overall, simply because it's so much more intresting and varied. Love Potion is one of my current favourites, I always look forward to Have I Got News for You and I simply can't wait for the next series of Bremner, Bird and Fortune. I also hope they make another series of Monkey Dust or The Peep Show, one of the finest sitcoms ever made. Those great satirical skits they do on Radio 4 rock too. Did anyone hear the show about the PR gurus trying to help improve the image of a local superstore? Currently living in a small town with a frankly oversized Tesco's, I hadn't laughed so hard in ages. When was the last time an American comedy show made light of large American corperations? Show me a US satire on the Coca-Cola Company, and I'll hush up.

The Gamecube's finest hour is yet to come - the new Zelda will be a final, glorious swan song for the Cube. With games like Metroid, Wind Waker, SSBM, Resi4 and F-Zero, plus many more, it's served me well these past few years.

I'm doing my best to resist watching any more videos. I really want to save myself for whenI get the actual game - we all know it's going to roxxer everyone's boxxers.

Without reading most of the thread, I'm sure that Nintendo will bare all by the end of this year - they said they would anyway. It would be nice to see some game footage like.

in Ocarina of Time. The final cutscene in Starwing The last twist in Links Awakening. The opening 5 mins of Goldeneye. The final boss battle in The Wind Waker. Winning the Poke-league in Pokemon Red/Blue. The Halo level title: The Matrix level in Conker's BFD. in Skies of Arcadia. in Resi4. And many more. Many, many more. PS. I may have been slightly zealous with the spoiler tags, but I'd complete all the games mentioned before checking the spoiler if I were you. It's best that you experience them fresh.

Yes, but why would you pass up the opertunity? Besides, Nintendo don't go for that kind of trickery.

I honestly don't think those shots (from E3) are in any way pre-rendered. They look very similar to the GC Metroid games, and there's no reason why Nintendo would fake this. It's probably looking loads better at at Retro Studios by now with the extra power of the Revo. I would say it's almost certainly an early shot of MP3 - the idea of a big planet made entirely out of phazon would make sense.

I think it's unlikely that Revo games will cost more then £40 - this is the sort of thing that put Nintendo off expensive HD-support and going for an uber-powerful console. Costs are much lower for developers, lower for customers. They've always maintained that they wanna keep costs down, and I think they will.

I've got nothing against stopping minors from playing Resi4 or anything, but jack Thompson is one day going to have to accept that video games don't bloody kill people. Ignorance, poverty, corruption and fear kill people. And here's Jack, doing everything he can to add to the whole American fear culture. I actually wonder if he honestly believes what he says - it's probably just to sell stuff like all the other ass-hole scaremongers out there. "Hi, I'm Jack Thompson. Video games are turning people into mindless killers. BUY MY BOOK!" Seriously people who spread this kind of crap around (Bush administartion included) should get run over by a crazed Italian-american in a loud hawaian shirt driving a fictional and similiar to but legally distinct Ferrari-Porsche style car with poor handling though the streets of a city similiar but legally distinct to Miami. Seriously dudes, make a date and do us all a favour.

OK, here goes - Baten Kaitos Tales of Symphonia Batallion Wars Fifa 2004 NHL 2006 NBA street V3 SSX 3 (or the new one if it's better) Conflict Desert Storm 2 Second Sight POP - Sands of Time MGS Twin Snakes Paper Mario - The Thousand Year Door Wave Race Blue Storm Luigis Manshion Donky Konga DK - Jungle Beat Beyond Good and Evil Killer 7 Worms 3D Super Mario Tennis Super Mario Golf Billy hatcher and the Giant Egg Resident Evils, 2, Nemisis, Veronica and the original remake Serious Sam Spider-Man 2 Mario Party 5 Ikaruga Fire Emblem and Zelda obviously. NOTE - obviously, unless I become super rich or something, I'll only be getting a slection of the above. But I would get them if I could. I'll probably be waiting at least a year before joining the next Gen.

I think it's purely palyer preference most of the time. I always go Captain Falcon. Fast, powerful, all the reach of the Canadian government though.

Ha, ha, LOL. Seriously though, multi-layerd DVDs seem likely - even the largest PC games don't need more then a single DVD to hold everything. Though a Beta-video add-on could really add extra lifespan to a console.

Lets wait until we start seeing some demos or something or that one, shall we? We have some claasy first-party titles coming and It's probable that there will be at last handful of third-party games for Revo we simply don't know about yet. There's still quite a lot we don't know about the revo after all.
