For those wanting to play the TGS exclusive Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker demo then heres a link to it http://uk.psp.ign.com/articles/102/1027904p1.html

Haven't bothered playing it yet though, just need update my firmware.

Currently playing through Saints Row 2, seems pretty decent so far although not as good as GTA4 but still a lot of fun.

Join the Steam group and follow others onto servers! It's the right thing to do!

To be honest, I might actually sort out a dedicated server at some point. Right now, though, I'm lazy.

For those of you who like games, or like Charlie Brooker or just enjoy laughter- 10pm on BBC4 tonight is Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe. It'll be brilliant. (You can look up his Screenwipe shows about TV on Youtube fairly easily.)

Brooker is doing games reviews?? I loved Screenwipe, so this should be good. 8)

OT: Recently picked up Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories after ages of not playing it. Also 358/2 Days is out on the 9th, which is super special awesome.

Well, his first love is Games oddly enough- I think it's a one-off and if it does well, they'll commission a series. Newswipe is back next year and there's a Screenwipe one-off at some point too. :)

Addicted to Dwarf Fortress which is not good.

Haven't touched my 360 in about a month now. Is there anything decent (and cheap) I can get?

Well I watched it and I liked it, I would definately like it to become a long running series, but whether it will or not remains to be seen.

Ditto, I thought it was brilliant.

If you've not watched his stuff before, his "Screenwipe" program can be found on Youtube under the user "xthemusic".
