So the iPhone seems to have it's feet under it as something of a gaming platform, given that Sega's Super Monkeyball alone accounted for $3 million USD in sales. And a survey of parents cites the Grand Theft Auto series of games more troubling than porn or alcohol. Also, Microsoft and Nintendo are going at it over third party sales, though it doesn't really seem like tea reading to say that third party developers are keen to the Wii.






















  • If you don't know someone, let's say a potential brother in law who's a no good stinking Frenchie, just kidding, he's apparently a really nice French guy who's dating my sister-in-law (who I care for pretty dearly) and the only things you know about him are:
    - he moved from France to be with her
    - he quit smoking because she asked him to
    - he wants to get married and have kids
    - he got made redundant in France before he left and got a massive severance package which he is slowly chewing through as he lives in the UK, he's deliberately not working while my sister-in-law finishes her PhD and by the time she's done, he'll have no savings left and then they're planning to leave the UK, get married, etc

    Am I the only person who thinks that the last point is such a majorly fucking WRONG thing to do that it kind of casts shadows over the rest of that shit? I mean, a guy being willing to sit and chew through a very healthy bank account rather than work just because a) he's not very keen on Scotland in general and doesn't want to work with people there and b) because he can, doesn't seem like a great catch to me. Is it wrong to consider this guy totally unethical by his complete lack of effort to try and retain his savings so that he can a) have a decent start for them by having a deposit for a house or something, not to mention buy her a ring etc?

  • I finally picked up my HD cable box today. I had no idea all I had to do was just bring my old box into comcast to exchange it for a new one.

    My GOD this is awesome. Not only are the Red Sox killing (or were killing) Texas but the picture is gorgeous. PLUS... I now seem to have all the movie channels plus the HD ones. Massive B=====D right now. High Def Olympics, Red Sox, Transformers... there's just too much beautiful TV to watch.

    I can't believe I waited so long to go HD.

    Oh yeah, and I just scraped a ton of resin out of a bowl and packed it in to a nice smelly nugget. AMERICA FUCK YEAH!!!
