I'd be interested in a game or so. I've not played it *at all* online.

after the football?

Of course, lots of people work on Star Wars films. And the Phantom Menace was appalling. Six people worked on Galleon for the majority of its development period. 36 man years wouldn't get you a... <insert game of choice>

Not that I know of. It'll be in the same vein (perhaps) as PC Gamer speculating on release dates for PC Halo 2.

"This was the first E3 in a while which really had some console die-hards admitting their jealousy." Hardly "world-wide despair". ( Or even dispair ). And it was mimiced fairly closely by similar phrasing in Edge: "It's a sign of the current-gen consoles' age that Sam Fisher's third appearance ... is scheduled initially for PC. Seeing the game in action, it is obvious why..." --- Same journalist? --- But hey - hunting down silly things in magazines is what we live for? Right? { eg. Games TM's article on industry finances this month, which merrily confused revenue and income every second sentence, or their repeated mentions of Forza without any actual *details* of what makes the game interesting; this being what I've noticed whilst travelling home on the tube over the last half hour or so - true videogames experts would obviously mark in red } {

ditto. I'll happily play if I'm about.

Games TM. Custom Robo review. "Is this a Mecha Game?" "Who Cares? Is It Worth The Money?" Never were truer words written. You'd almost think they'd been able to predict a thread just like this one...

one plus one is one - badly drawn boy

can't make it early on - shakespeare in t'park. might manage later. (oops).

God - move even slower than he *already* does? Halo 2: Planet of the Treacle Monsters.

So Transformers, eh? Who came on here and dared say they liked it as a third person shooting game with added nostalgia bonuses? I like Halo. *baa*.

There's two bits, until Jumble does the other graphics bit., www.sociometry.co.uk/singstar has a enter name bit on the left hand side. You'll then get a page into which you can write scores. www.sociometry.co.uk/singstar_alt has a prettier interface, and shows all the scores for all difficulties at once.

The irony is *killing* me.

Consider your audience.

PS2 - Frequency, Singstar, Eyetoy. XBox - Halo, KoToR, PGR2 GC - *shrugs* Metroid Prime, Super Monkey Ball PC - Planescape Torment, Grim Fandango, An FPS of some kind (Half Life if you're wanting CS, Far Cry if you're wanting graphics...)

I suggest you have a look at Cacky's back-catalogue of posts on the subject. And then consider the nature of the Internet.

It'll have been deleted. But I remember reading it.

It's fine for Cacky to share stuff in *threads explicitly about Mecha*. This wasn't. Incidentally, the "I'm sure if you were to meet Cacophanus in real life you wouldn't say half the shite that you're coming out with here." is astonishingly close to something an argumentative tosser said in a thread about 3 months ago...

Comrade - the cartoon was great. But Cacky's probably emailing PA as we type.

i robot looks like the most misleading use of a licence ever.

I'm sure Ollie is perfectly fine in real life. But the *constant* derailment of threads (about Edge, Games TM, or perfectly innocent threads about games) into insults about how we're all a rllmuk hivemind coupled with the unbridled arrogance and mecha-worship grates.

Yeah - it deserved at least 28.

Ethos / Narrative Conventions are all well and good. But we don't tend to talk about this kind of thing in Cacky's Mech Threads . We end up shouting about why games which are entirely different in mechanics and in play (but which may feature some of the same ethos - look there's a robot!) should be directly compared because, well, Cacky says they should. (As opposed to comparing their ethos, narrative or implementation of same - because that would involve real thought - see Ed's thread on storytelling in Discussion somewhere...). Anyhow - Comrade's got it about right. Q: If everyone thinks you're a tosser, but you... (i) Are the bunch of strangers ganging up on you because they're scared of disagreeing with one another? (ii) Or are you a tosser? Given every other thread on the forum contains disagreement, I think Cacky has to fall into category (ii).
