May I just say that it is never a good idea to watch Mock The Week when the rest of your family is asleep. Anything and everything concerning Frankie's future role as PM made me laugh so much. "Citizens of New Atlantis, we must self-destruct."

On the note of the top game characters, did Norro ever tell us who the final placing people were? For some reason I was intently curious about whether Liquid Snake placed higher than Solid Snake. I can't remember now.

Zsasz?

It was auctioned off...and bought by Amazon. Really, they were never not going to release it.

You know how awesome Morgan Freeman is? Someone cast him to play god. Shows how much of an awesome person he seems like. Hope he's okay and all.

That's just the British thing. If I record myself speaking normally I end up sounding similar to them. We all have British accents, it's just not as obvious until you hear it after hearing Americans.

I think the best part about Yahtzee is the sheer britishness of the chap. It's kind of a nice alternative to the usually more brash and less whitty sort such as the Angry Video Game Nerd who seem to become less and less funny every time they do a 'review'. Yes, I do check every Wednesday in preparation for Yahtzee's next awesome review.

Oh, by the way, anyone up for some Crackdown? One of few online capable games I've got. You won't be able to add me due to technical nonsense (damn you something or other for being almost down I think (does https://live.xbox.com/en-US/accounts/Family...aspx?Check=true come up unavailable for everyone else)), but my tag is AmitaiW. Wouldn't mind playing someone online.

I've already got a PS3 and those sorts of games. I'm really looking at exclusives and online masterpieces.

So, it seems to just be trying to change the Windows Live ID associated with the Account? That's the only time Xbox Live isn't working. Yet, this works fine on my PC. This the same for anyone else? EDIT: So, got Live again. Can't actually add friends, seeing as the parent Passport account used to set up this Xbox Live (I was maybe 14 at the time) has upped and disappeared. Gamertag is AmitaiW. Very few games, got Crackdown and Pro Evo 6. Any recommendations of stuff to get? I'm considering Halo, but I don't really like the story.

Is Live down for anyone else? Just upgraded my account to Gold for 3 months, and I was curious as to why whenever I try and associate my account with a new Windows Live ID, it says Live is down?

On the note of my Xbox probably dying soon... We have another 360 which I can probably get temporary lease of as no one really uses it. If I were to buy something on there (using my current Hard Drive), and then log in using my XBL Account on my one when it's sent back, would I be allowed to use the things I bought?

The real question is whether this is the fabled RROD or just it telling me it's overheating?

Okay, so I'm confused. 360 broke, 3 rings when viewed vertically, with the top one on the right hand side not lighting up. Assuming this was red ring of death, I was sad, and therefore cast it aside for a short while, before calling Microsoft. On calling them, the first test resulted in...the 360 turning on perfectly. After playing for an hour and moving it, three rings again. Leaving it for a while to cool down, it works fine for 3 hours, then again 3 hours later for two. Then red rings again, and within an hour, works fine. Is it Red Ring of Death? Or simply overheating, which I suggest due to it working again after a few hours rest. There are no errors when playing games at all. I ask because I'm loathe to buy a 12-Month Gaming Card and MS Points with Birthday money if this thing isn't going to last. And I love having it in my room too (just moved today), which makes me hope it's just overheating.

I think the thing that has me so unbelievably psyched for this one is the fact I've already psuedo-played it. Metal Gear Online is probably the most fun I've had in an online game ever, and if something which was slightly laggy can run that well and be that impressive, the real thing is gonna be that much better.

I've seen the opening ten minutes of gameplay at different times (mainly because it was part of an earlier hype video), and despite it really being the opening ten minutes of video, they have a couple of sections where you can control Snake. The change between cut scene and actual gameplay is incredibly seamless. I've never seen a game look that good in both sections.

MGS4 is never gonna be as big a opening as GTA IV, but it looks pretty good so far. I'm pretty much avoiding gaming forums from here on to avoid spoilers. On a slightly different note, put me down for Metal Gear Online. Shall we get a EWB clan going?

Apparently GAME only hire people over 16 who are school leavers which is a bit of a pain as I was looking for a summer job, but you know, you can't all work where you want all the time

Another question Dragsy...from what age do video game shops hire? I've heard 16 to 18 (because I wouldn't be allowed to sell 18 games?) Any answer is helpful.

I'll tell you what though, I marked for the mention of the greatest city in England - Leeds. That actually made everyone in the cinema turn to each other and laugh. I very much liked the ants, and it also showed the power of the Crystal Skull pretty successfully.

I don't personally get why people are so off about the aliens. Whereas the original Indy films are homages to Serials of the 1930s, this is an homage to the alien movies of the 1950s, hence the aliens. In terms of what I thought about the movie, having only seen the original 3 Indy movies about 2 weeks ago for the first time, I assume I don't have the nostalgia hang-ups everyone else does, and therefore I really liked this one.

I was just coming in here to make that joke >_> Seriously though, I reckon we should boycott Russia, and hold our own Eurovision.

Fuck Russia.

Greece seriously deserved to win. Is there anyway they could potentially do some sort of 'anti-Eastern block' rule? It's not fair
