Cartridges cost SIGNIFICANTLY more to produce, and have a lower capacity.

I thought this debate was settled in like, the mid 90s.

Wait how did I get +2?

I don't think I've even been on my PS3 this week.

Watched The Snapper and The 13th Warrior.

The 13 Warrior was okay. It's about this band of Vikings fighting Neanderthals, although this isn't made clear in the film, and you'd just think they were men if you hadn't read the book. All in all, it's another disappointing Michael Crichton book-to-film. Still decent, but not as good as it should have been.

The Snapper is the second part in Roddy Doyle's very loose Barrytown Trilogy, coming in between The Commitments and The Van. It's not as good as the other two, but Jimmy Rabbitte Sr (renamed "Dessie Curly" in this for copyright reasons) is such an amazing character, that it's still great.

Didn't have any yet, but whatever, I can't really afford it anyway, and I have a shit ton of stuff unfinished too.

Yeah, don't see The Master showing up in The Waters of Mars, think they'll save him for the final episode.

I fucking told you! GOTY, no doubt.

EU Video store 18th Nov.

Took long enough.

No Batman: TAS, don't care.

Nicholas Courtney reported he's recorded a commentary for The Ambassadors of Death, so expect a DVD of it some time in the future.

Also if you drink tap water, the government can read your thoughts.

Fuck you all. Jurassic: The Hunted is going to be my GOTY, easy.

Seriously though guys, does this honestly look like a bad game to you?

I'm wondering if dinosaurs warp my perception of things or something. I LOVED Turok, and that was panned, and this looks even more awesome.

Just finished The Dark Tower series and several other Stephen King books which took a TON of time to read. Preferably, dark books but if you know of any other books worth me taking a look into, just mention it.

I just bought this book about an opium addicted time traveller from 1903 who travels forwards in time to an alternate 1973 and finds that the British Empire is still going strong, and rules the world with a fleet of giant Zeppelins. It's called "The War Lord of the Air".

You just know this shit is going to be awesome.

Helicopters are boring. They're in nearly everything.

Raptors can open doors.

Oh that game sucked. I got to play it in GameStop yesterday and it was alright for 5 minutes..Lots of raptors.

Modern Warfare 2 doesn't even have ANY raptors in it.

Although, according to Charlie Brooker, there is a bit where a monkey drives a car.

Even my hardcore Xbro brother who basically only plays Halo 3, COD4 and GTA 4 isn't buying MW2.

Enjoy ruining gaming faggots.

I get a good 8 hours every night, and you couldn't force me to associate with my flatmates. They're animals, woke up on Friday morning, and there was bits of bread from one end of the corridor to the other. How the fuck does that even happen?

Stylisticly he's pretty eloquent.

I'm not arguing that, I like his stuff, but I couldn't sit and read loads of his short stories one after the other, they're all pretty similar.

Either Roddy Doyle or Irvine Welsh. Favourite book is Doyle's A Star Called Henry, but I think Welsh is more consistently good.

Lovecraft might just be my favourite author at the moment - his brand of horror is rather intense and celestial; any other reader of Lovecraft will know that he has an amazing way with his words. Although his earlier works do contain subtle racist remarks, it all contributes to the amazing atmosphere the man can set.

Really? I find his stuff very samey. Read one, read them all.

My favourite novella by the guy might be Dagon, although I have yet to read the rest of his works (I've read The Cats Of Ulthar, The Statement Of Randolph Carter and The Doom That Came To Sarnath: currently reading Call Of Cthulhu - halfway through it).

How can you be halfway through Call of Cthulhu? It's like, 20 pages long.

A lot of his stories actually sound genuinely intriquing just from their titles, and trust me, when you start reading them you won't stop.

Some of them are a chore, particularly the longer ones. Like in At The Mountains of Madness, nothing happens for like the first 2/3s of it. Literally nothing, they don't even know they're in danger until then, it's just stuff about drilling in the Arctic.

His stuff is still pretty good though.

Will probably get Nirvana pack, might get Best of You.

The best album ever is actually Rum, Sodomy and the Lash. I have proved it with science.

MSN now also offering streaming classic Who. Just "The Web Planet" at the minute, but the title says "Doctor Who featuring Tom Baker, William Hartnell and Jon Pertwee", so that might hint at what episodes they're planning to put up next.

Also David Tennant is going to be hosting a Doctor Who themed Never Mind The Buzzcocks, with Catherine Tate on one team, and Bernard Cribbins on the other.

Doesn't matter. Auntie is an air hostess, has a trip to America in a fortnight. I'll have her get it.

"Life Finds a Way"

"These are not the Hammer"

"Six Foot Turkey"

9v9 max players for PC. Are they trying to see how many people buy it even if you buttfuck the customer? P2P severs for PC too.

Seriously this is getting out of fucking order.

Did you see the "features" they listed to show the PC version isn't just a shitty console port?

Mouse control, graphical options and text chat.
