I like Radiohead (a lot) but Sheffield Wednesday is just going too far :P Though I bet you are glad they are in the Championship and the Utd aren't.

:D Agent Wilson, mission accomplished. Return to Hillsborough for debriefing...

It's an anagram of handgun crop. "Get off me" = what you use dragon punch for.

Nice work Mikey McHaggarson by the way! You and Joeplus should do a real crossword for the Street Fighter Weekly News (if only), youse are good at it.

I thought about contacting Edge or GamesTM to propose including a crossword, but then I remembered that a) I'm really rusty at solving crosswords, never mind setting them and b) I don't know anywhere near enough about current games to make it relevant.

I think that one needs explaining for us mere mortals.

Yeah, as everyone's said it's an anagram. Basically anagram clues in cryptic crosswords typically have 3 parts: a kind of definition as to what kind of thing the anagram is, a hint word that it's an anagram and the anagram itself. People have covered the definition and anagram itself, and the word 'reload' is the clue that it's an anagram.

It really annoys me that newspaper cryptics don't have the basic rules printed next to them, or at least a link to a page online that explains the basics. It's like they don't want people to get into them.

The guardian did a really nice little series on an intro to cryptic crosswords a while ago, which was excellent. But yeah they're kind of shooting themselves in the foot, there's all these unwritten rules and conventions which it would be incredibly useful to actually know, or else everything just ends up looking like a jumble of confusing words.

Puck is still a total bastard.

Yes to Radiohead, no to football - but I must admit Sheffield Wednesday is quite an excellent name though.

I see a hegg in the thread - you promised me rematches but you stood me up! :(

I already 'have' Rhythm Heaven too, but I stopped playing it once the EU version was announced, so I'll pick that up instead.

Sorry about that, thought I'd be back in plenty of time for revenge matches last night but I ended up ranting at people about Prometheus for much longer than I expected.

Yesterday's brief session was excellent fun. I've been playing this a bit over the weekend, Guile in ranked, like old times.

As I had it described to me yesterday: throw a bunch of videogame fans at a huge warehouse filled with new games and they'll obviously enjoy it. Journalists don't get shit for free these days, either, and it's an awful lot of work.

It does sound like an absolute clusterfuck out there, admittedly, but we only get half the story from our desks. Most of the feedback coming back from the show floor is that Wii U is actually very cool once you get your hands on it, for instance.

I'd go to E3 just so I could get some giant californian burritos. I remember as a teenager being obsessed with it, and thinking it'd be the closest thing to geek heaven, but it actually sounds like hell's humid crotchpit.

Also; have you ever stood near someone in a game shop and listened to them loadly broadcast their opinions all smugly and stuff? Imagine that all around you. Oh man. That's too many people to Annie Hall.

Difference between PR, sales and senior management, I guess. Can you imagine what Reggie Fils-Aime would be like in a meeting? Yeesh. Sure he gets whatever he wants.

Still, it's been a mad couple of days but things are starting to settle down now. I am writing words about a fighting game at the moment, which is as close to normal service as things get these days.
