Also, fellow escapist reviewer REbecca Mayes with her weird musical reviews can be as scathing in its own way

You'll just have to watch it when you get home Mr Cat ;)

yeah yeah, people can't beat me at Mr aaah! so resort to watching FFXIII-bashing videos ;-)


It is a funny review and essentially not wrong - apart from the combat - which is the best in any JRPG ever and reaches DMC/Bayonetta levels of complexity. I'm having more fun trundling through these beautiful corridors than I have for a while

No mention of QuakeLive here at all, somethings wrong...Or are you all scared of being pwned by real men (as opposed to pwning 13 year old yanks on Xbox live) ?


Warning, its brutal, most of the console fps players Ive got to try it have come away gibbering and in shock at the level of Gauntlet induced carnage they suffered...


Humiliation by Gauntlet ftw!

I cut my online teeth on Quake 2. Done most since then, especially team

fortress and the unreal tournaments.

Problem was they're all so prone to cheating that in the end I descided I couldn't be bothered. PC became a place I did strategy games and MMORPGs.

Console for immediate kicks and currently MW2 doing that very well.


If you want to get proverbial cocks on to the table I think I may have been on consoles before IBM PCs even existed and almost certainly before you were born.


Noobie. Funny, no really.

sooo, Red Dead Redemption coming next week


The all too obvious "GTA in the wild west" comments aside, anyone looking forward to this? As a Deadwood fan, it looks like Rock* have really nailed the atmos, plus it's very interesting period in history as the wild west gave way to the technology changes


I need to finish FF XIII first tho - all linearity aside, some of the battles are becoming epic


And despite lukewarm reception I?m loving it.


The first steps on Gran Pulse (about Chapter 11) had an even bigger ?holy F***? effect on me than the scientists in Jurassic Park catching first glimpse of the dinosaurs.

Very very good.

I got Far Cry 2 in sainsbury's for 8 quid the other day. It's sort of Fallout 3 in the jungle, and a bit odd, like Fallout it has yet to hook me, mainly for most of the pitfalls so perfectly (as ever) described by ZP in the linked review.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
