Everyone's jumping on the good old Tron bandwagon...

I think because it is a harsh environment with the hospital/safe at the very centre of it is just representative of the information they were trying to obtain being very well guarded/locked away in the mind. An impenetrable fortress type scenario.

Lets just say I've lost ALOT of lives! Yeah I easily got to the mid save, but it's the crazy barrel section after that!... Especially the part a bit further on where the barrels rotate fast, move up&down/diagonally, AND there's fast moving wasps... plus the white blizzard makes it more difficult to judge the barrel edge! Cruel indeed!! Ahh I have found that barrel shortcut I think, but the last couple of barrels spin really fast and the few times I tried to get all the way across I mistimed it!

that is all!

OK the first snow level is seriously pissing me off!!

Yeah I know! Just started reading IGN's article on the Capt. America teaser... but then stopped cos I'd rather see it for myself... but it sounds AWESOME!! IGN also report Marvel are looking into a Hawkeye movie for after The Avengers!

Damn, can't wait to see it!

I'm sending my keyboard bill to Blake Lively!

All I can really say is I think halfway through the season is too early to back a driver. To mention races as early back as Australia & China... they might aswell just back him from the start of a season! Ferrari adopted a driver equality programe with Massa and Raikkonen and it won them 1 WDC, 2 WCC and they missed out on a 2nd WDC by 1 point! You couldn't ask for much more!

With 9 race results & 225 points still available (as it was on Sunday), wouldn't most teams (and shouldn't Ferrari) just be happy with the 1-2 finish, and not which driver got just 7 additional points! This is the most important thing! The worst part for me was Ferrari's lies, and taking us for absolute idiots!

Eddie Jordan had a fair enough point though in that... it wasn't in the rule book when he did it in the past, and being a rule now, it should be adhered to, just like the number of tyres a team can use, the rules for wing development etc... But then yeah it's always been a rule that all teams have 'broken' when they've needed to! Anyone else think Smedley could be getting an ABSOLUTE rollicking over all this?! Basically if it hadn't been for him phrasing the message in the obvious way he did... (drawing attention to it and letting Felipe and the world know exactly what the true meaning was) most people would have probably just let it go! Though he shouldn't really have been put in that position, or at least used the excuse of fuel saving... or just said Fernando is much faster on this tyre set and you're holding him up.

I'd say Fernando's mistakes have far outweighed any bad luck he's had this season. Hmm... Yes Alonso is Ferrari's best chance at the title... at the moment and has looked the better driver all season! But to write Massa off just over halfway through the season is extremelely harsh IMO! Ferrari might aswell just go back to a one driver policy and write Felipe off from the start of each season! No driver has really pulled away in the championship all year, everyones having trouble and sharing the wins. Massa is only two race wins behind being back up there. Kimi was effecively two race behind with two races remaining and he won the title! Massa has 7 races left! - Possibly, though both Fernando & Kimi managed to get over their tyre problems by mid '07. - And no one can deny team orders exist... but at this stage of a championship? If the ban is lifted we'll just see race orders being decided from the pit wall a lot more often, and personally as someone who's ALOT more interested in watching the drivers race, than the teams (as I think is the case with the majority of fans), I'd be pretty dissapointed.

If Alonso knew he was consistantly quicker than Massa ALL wekend be could have either opted to stay out longer and overtaken Massa in the pits, or he could have made damn sure he took his chances when Massa was struggling to heat the tyres up, because he had them and blew them... thus cried help. - Well yeah, it was either 'understand this order' or risk loosing your seat! - Yes he's been the stronger of the two. But there are still hundreds of points up for grabs, and if this weekend tells us anything it's that Massa has gone a long way to getting over his tyre problems and is ready to start fighting back. - Same as above. - True, but it only largely tends to happen towards the end of the season when the teams have to make a choice for their 1 chance to win. - To quote Nick Fry: - It's different doing it mid way during the season. At the later stage of a championship I think the fans appreciate team mates helping one another out for a shot at the title... and I'd say team mate are happy to do so! - True.

Yeah I actually quite like Hungary aswell, despite it's tendency to be processional. --- Anyone watch Top Gear tonight, they did a really nice 20min feature on Ayrton Senna! I'm really looking forward to the movie that's coming out next year (that they also mentioned on the GP today). Though I'm not quite sure why it was on Top Gear, because it took up 20 minutes and would have made a perfectly decent 30 minute show all of its own!

Yeah and unfortunately Hungary's rubbish aswell!... though at least it looks quite nice! Though after the 3 weeks break we have the epicness of Spa and Monza!!

Looks like Dannyboys just found his next wallpaper! ... And not just for his PC!

haha, yeah they kept mentioning on the F1 forum, what about the people who put a bet on Massa to win today!

OK major confusion has ensued!... I now have a horrible feeling I've been spelling it wrong my entire life!

Thankyou!

But if Alonso was consistantly faster, then why didn't he choose to get past Felipe at the pit stops? And sorry to put on my Raikkonen fanboy hat... but Ferrari developed the car away from Kimi in '08 (Ferrari & Schumi have admitted to that). But I don't dissagree that he Felipe also developed massively as a driver. Ferrari have massively fucked up here, they've alienated Smedley... he's been forced to out right lie to the press and go against his driver, and Massa now pretty much knows he's basically not gonna win a World Championship at Ferrari with Alonso there and has effectively just signed a new contract to be a no.2 driver. I think we can safely say the words Alonso and trouble go hand in hand!

What is it with the cartoons of today... they all look aweful!

Natalie Portman (Jane Foster) and Kat Dennings (Darcy) @ Comic Con... LOVELY!! And great to finally see all these cast members coming together for everything!!

Awesome!! So is Hawkeye the only main cast addition?... If so great! I'm sure there will be some other cameo appearances, but keeping the main cast down is a good choice IMO!
