NumberSix

Are they re-releasing WebTV?

Yeah, MSN TV 2

What a cunt this guy at the desk is.

Yeah, but he gave us the X-Box so he's not all bad.

Heads will fucking roll over this.

I don't see any announcement coming. Just a commentary on where we are now. Anyone else getting that vibe?

Aye, there'll not be any announcement, as such.

It's amazing how unwitty American standups are.

Umm.... Bill Hicks, Richard Prior, Lenny Bruce, Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy....

Anyhow, you don't go to a CES keynote for cutting edge comedy, eh? That said Conan O'Brian can be rahter funny when it suits him. He's clearly just doing this for a sack of cash though.

i will come back later to read all the xbox news

The news is: there is no news.

THis is going to be about the Microsoft Game 'n Watch, basically.

Right, who the fuck is that because he's an embarrassment to mankind.

Grrr, yanks...

Conan O'Brian. He's very good usually.

About fucking time. Sorted.

What a fucking shit website.

THis is very fucking annoying.

Fucking Typical Microsoft. Dunt work.

"Come watch the LIVE broadcast TODAY at

6:30 P.M. PST"

It's now 6.36.PST. Grrr.

I am in Boston next week. Hoping I can pick one up but I have a feeling it will be completely sold out so I am trying not to get too excited.

The game stores will almost certainly have sold out. You should be able to pick one up in Target though, I reckon. They don't push the preorder thing so much, plus they get a shitload of stock, so it's often pretty easy to pick stuff up there that's soldout elsewhere.

Its not the best animated film ever made, thats simply a knee jerk fanboy statement.

No it's not, it's an opinion.

Your problem is the time difference. Anytime after 8.30/9.00 UK time you're going to get shitloads of schookids. I'm on a fair bit much later (like 5am UK time onwards) and although I do encounter the odd shit room, generally folk tend to be fine. If I do happen on one full of cocks I very rarely have trouble finding one without.

the storyline really caught me, on both adult and child levels; I loved all the silly kiddie jokes and same with the adult references. I think i might go back this weekend and get another viewing.

That's exactly how I felt after seeing it. Prob going to go back on saturday night to avoid the hundeds of children.

Heh. Well, I hope you like it in that case

I went knowing only that it was a Pixar film about superheroes. Didn't read a single review. I really did enjoy it an awful lot more than any of their previous movies. Then again I was really into comic books as a kid, so I'm sure that had something to do with it. It made me think of Kavalier and Clay (the Chabon book) more than once. They really nailed that old time comic book feel, imo. That's the point of the cheesy lines: you have to take it for what it is.

I couldn't disagree with you more Despin. You might want to spoiler out some of that, too.

EDIT: rephrase: can you spoiler it out please?

so it's not shit then?

*expectant*

Not at all. Easily the best thing they've done, imo. It captures the feel of the old time comic books in a way that no superhero movie before it has managed, plus they put their own neat spin on things.

They were wrong.

I'm not. It's pure class.

Absolutely brilliant. Just brilliant.

Part Bond, part, umm... every superhero movie to date. Easily the best film of the year: if there's any justice it'll get recognised in the main categories at the Oscars. Fabulous characters, script and story. Edge of the seat stuff: Pixar come up trumps again.

I really can't recommend this movie enough. Go see.

Me too: GT: Choccy

I'm shit and all, mind

How many of you immediately searched for 'Chrissy' with safesearch off after c's post?

Sasha bought himself a top of the range Audi for over a hundred and fifty grand a while back.

Silly bastard can't drive.

But Die Another Day fails on pretty much every level of why people *do* watch Bond.

As far as I'm concerned it did extraordinarily well on at least one of those levels:

the guy starts the big sell for the guide book, which of course the guy didn't want.

I got exactly the same thing in EB here. Relentless.

I've only played it for an hour or so tonight.... first impressions: the soundtrack is excellent. The bikes are fun too.

Doesn't seem all that different from VC so far, but like I said I've only played an hour or so. The city is indeed very big - I like the Hollywood style sign on the mountain

I'm picking mine up in the morning, so I've kept away from reading any reviews and most threads on it. Looking forward to it v much so I couldn't resist a quick peek in here.

As luck would have it I've got fuck all work to do until Monday, too.

Which is nice.
