In case you haven't already noticed Gamescom has been going in Germany where Codemasters having showing off a near-finished build of the game and there is handy-cam footage of it up the wazoo, the best of which is being posted in a single handy thread on the community forums. Also, here's game play footage of the Korea GP circuit. That's THE KOREA GP CIRCUIT, real-life F1 fans.

UK viewers can watch the last weeks worth of episodes of Jon Stewart Daily Show on Channel4OD. He jumps straight into the subject (quite brilliantly, as always) in the episode broadcast today - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart/4od#3111606

It's also not actually a mosque, but a Muslim cultural centre to reach out to people of all faiths, an idea modeled on similar Jewish cultural centers in the area (incidentally, it has also received vocal support from the local Jewish community.) The bottom line is some people are dumb and some politicians are soulless enough to exploit that fact and don't particularly care who they hurt in the process.

Congratulations, you just made The List.

Working in the Co-op, that stuff is the bane of my very existence. I'm fairly certain I've never sold it to anyone much over the age of 20 who also still lived in a building of some description.

I say, what's the Battlefield BC2 online situation right now? Decent games are starting to get just a little harder to find in 1943 and I'm contemplating an upgrade of sorts to my Battlefield fix.

A love bite from what? An octopus?

A nice, fat, HD version of the F1.com trailer is now on Youtube, direct from the source. For your pleasure & convenience:

In case you weren't already aware, there's a brand new and vereh, vereh tasty exclusive preview trailer of what appears to be the near-finished product on the official F1 website. Also, screen shots! Most drool worthy I must say.

I hate raw, whole tomatoes. I'm not sure why, the whole thing just seems wrong, particularly textually. It's like a little liquid balloon with a taut, thin skin with hard little seeds floating around an inconsistent jelly inside. It's just odd. I also dislike Mel Gibson. Somewhat strongly.

Life? I feel like I haven't even been born yet. There's an entire universe for me still to conquer. What "me" is is still yet to be decided. Though growing up and living and studying in parts of the country which double as national-scale retirement communities probably hasn't helped prevent that frame of mind. Also, am I detecting a lot of latent frustrations in this thread?

Experts agree, jets, helicopters and shit blowing up are necessary parts of your daily diet! (Pregnant women should consult a doctor for supplementary advice.) Coming next year for PS3 & Xbox360. From Kotaku: Plenty o' screen shots via the link above. Personally, I'm excited.

The Simpsons, Season 9, the episode where Principle Skinner is revealed to be a fraud, having never served in Vietnam and somehow managing to fool the real Skinner's own mother for so many years. In one fell swoop the writers successfully and permanently destroyed an entire and meticulously constructed character universe and retroactively neutered every humorous and surreal Vietnam cutaway we had ever had from Skinner, and all in exchange for an episode of near zero laughs. They do reference the fact occasionally in later episodes, unfortunately self awareness is not the same as good writing (that applies to you too, Family Guy).

Well I'm a dyed in the wool Hamilton fan, so obviously I'd be delighted to see him take his second though I wouldn't mind to much if Button took the double for Britain. I think I'd also quite like to see Webber take the crown, for the novelty of a new Australian F1 champ after thirty years and I can't imagine he'll have many more chances left to do so.

You guys do realize there is an entire board for this sort of nonsense.

The five webcomics which I check most frequently and I ORDER YOU to visit. Girls With Slingshots - Honestly the best written webcomic I've yet found. Encompasses diverse and complex plots on relationships, jobs, alcohol, cats and talking cacti. Questionable Content - Sort of like Friends, except everyone is generally badly dressed and pays rent with low level jobs - basically like real life. Also, Anthro PCs. Menage a 3 - Sort of like Friends, except stacked to the ceiling with gay and lesbian sex. Hark A Vagrant - Usually history-themed comics for smart people by professional smart person Kate Beaton. Also, Wonder Woman comics occasionally. Wasted Talent - The weekly webcomic-diary-blog of 20-something professional Canadian engineer Jam, aka Angelia Melick. No really, it's awesome. I would also like to recommend DAR by Erika Moen, which isn't updating anymore but is still utter brilliance from start to finish.

Put me down as a "C". I mean, I'm not NOT excited by it, but I do feel like I've got all the FPS's I need right now. I'm kinda FPS'd out.

I'm really looking forward to see how it comes off, it's a really interesting attempt at making the season/career mode more then just a series of races. Wouldn't be surprised to see something like it start cropping up in other sports franchises.

The manageress and most of the supervisors, indeed most of the people I work with at the shop are a group of the most charming people you'll ever meet, except for one. He's 26, overweight, balding, has a bad back and his mother still tucks him in on cold nights. He's arrogant, lazy and goes about pushing around anyone he can get away with. He also loves lecturing me about not doing my job quick enough especially when I spend some it doing part of his job, reducing dated produce while still trying to serve customers and stock shelves while he spends 45 minutes doing about 10 minutes of admin in the office. I learned elsewhere that he used to get bullied horribly as a kid. Joined a few dots for me. He's not especially popular with the other supervisors either. I'd hate him more if I didn't pity him quite so much.

Here's the fifth and final dev diary, complete with 2010-spec cars running about. I hope this is as awesome as it looks, I so desperately want it to be.

Gonna be another late round up guys, work is a killer at the mo. It'll be up sooner or later tho.

My thoughts in a series of nutshells: 1. Bad luck Hamilton, bad luck combined with slight carelessness Vettel. 2. Well done Webber, well done especially Red Bull. 3. What Schumacher did was wrong, but it's not a new thing. He's always been like that. 4. Bravo Kobayashi, from 23rd to 9th. 5. 'Tis a vintage age for F1 and I'll fight anyone who disagrees, bare-chested in the street. I'll see you all again come 'Spa at the end of the month. Looking forward to it.

So... is this a perception of me that really exists or did you just think of that because Star Trek is on?

Red Bull are impossibly good form this weekend. How are Ferrari or McLaren supposed to beat a car that can shift up round corners everyone else is shifting down on? Alonso is more then a second away in third! It's Red Bull's to loose (again.)

I don't think I've ever enjoyed/suffered being so attracted to someone I just happened to meet in the way a lot of the people here describe. I have found other people very attractive but not to the point I would describe it as falling in "in love" with them. I have grown emotionally attached with others over time but I've not yet experienced the whole "at first sight" thing some of you seem to be describing.
