  thanks!

• Dibbs Ahoy:Google Maps goes 8-bit fools ya fools Ha ha! I thought you might do something on this one!
• lartens:Grig News – Sainsburys sale, Gootecks, PS4! Is it not bad enough i have to keep the monster of the original xbox for dead or alive beach volleyball, but now i’ll have to keep the ps2 for ff vii and an english grandia, ps3 which i barely use anyway for ni no kuni which isnt even out for another 9 months, plus the new xbox, new ps4/orbis and the wii U, i’m gonna need a rotating shelf unit like wall-e has, but won’t work because all of the cables.

  Don’t get me started on the pre owned shizzle!

• JB91:SFxTekken isn’t done annoying you yet All i can say is fuck capcom ripping people off like this they should have just released the game for the ps3 instead of bullshitting with 360 owners hopefully tekken x street fighter is nothing like this sham of a game.
• lartens:Grig news: Mass Effect 3, SFxTekken, Game if they were to change the end, they should make it that some dlc that gives an extra character extra missions that crossover, which then affects the outcome like the butterfly effect, give it some kind of credibility as to why its there. Though once something is out, then that is how it is suppose to be, i’ve seen extras on dvd’s that have told how the movie originally was until they re wrote it, i’m talking about Aladin and Toy Story here, both of which would be nowhere nears as good had they not had redesign processes on them, but once it was out, then thats how it is. Though if they could rewrite Nights Journey of Dreams then i’d have no qualms, but then in that case its pretty much a rewrite of the entire game that needs to be made lol. I joke, it just needed to get rid of the key and have better/no voice actors.

  Really we just need the Nights into Dreams hd port to happen. Which again, press the button over http://www.nid15.com/.

• lartens:SFxTekken: Capcoms (not so much an) Update + excessive rant part 2! Class action lawsuit, false advertising, apparently the team online thing is in the manual for xbox, and then there’s the definition of downloadable content, if its not additional and downloadable, its just CONTENT you greedy frackheads.
• kristoffer:Minecraft Pocket Edition to get survival mode =)
• kristoffer:pcgamerminecraft cool =)
• Dibbs Ahoy:IGN are gonna live stream some MineCon goodness woo hoo I really need to get into this Minecraft malarky, see what all the fuss is about even if I will be late to the party. Besides, the way Capcoms going I’ll be looking for something else to get into to replace Street Fighter and I’m sure all those millions of gamers can’t be wrong. Except in the case of Angry Birds. And FIFA. And Need for Speed. Grig! What’s wrong with people?! Ho hum!
• lartens:Street Fighter X Tekken Update Ahoy Just when capcom started to renew faith with street fighter iv some years ago, now they’re taking that cred back to become just another lame developer/publisher. Well done capcom.
• Kevin:She call me Mr BomBastic say me fantastic The problem is the same on the iPad so any ideas out there how to resolve it
• Dibbs Ahoy:Could the sf x tekken character teaser be Dan’s secret feminine twin brother? That’s a Dan screen shot from SSFIV, Juri is on a SFxTekken backdrop, etc, etc, etc!
  They just need to stop grigging around and just show us these characters properly so that I can stop being anxious!
• bedgell:Enhance Your Calm, Citizens – The GRiG Fixes iOS 5… Oh man, it made me do that last time I updated my password. Uppercase is such a pain… So was that the problem I was it having the email / username different?
• lartens:Enhance Your Calm, Citizens – The GRiG Fixes iOS 5… i’ve looked in the drafts but i see no spooling of the cassetes, *dissapointed lol

  nice post here Big B. I would like to chime in with the game center issue i had, basically i had a separate email address and apple id that i was using for game center, obviously something i forgot. when researching though i found that some people fixed it by changing their passwords too. I did this and it irritatingly made me conform to uppercase lowercase and numbers. grr. which although is good advice, uppercase is such a pain

• bedgell:ROLLING STAAAART! Yeah I really wAnt scud race – more than DAYTONA if I’m honest. (and no iPhone I DONT want you to put DAYTONA in uppercase every time. I just wanted to do it THAT ONE TIME!!!)

  I’ve kind of DONE DAYTONA so although I want it – DAYTONA 2 and scud race would be something new. Plus I only ever played scud race about twice before it disappeared…

• lartens:ROLLING STAAAART! rolling start ahoy hoy. it brings a smile, i read the comments that someone else also wants daytona 2 and scud race on it. although that would be good, it taken until now for there to be a playable version on a high end computer. This really should of happened sooner. They also need to remake sega rally properly too, the desert on the recent Sega Rally arcade online release was very disappointing.

  We want accurate porting of arcade classics. With a choice of upping the res or not.

• bedgell:Ni No Kuni European Release Soon To Be Announced? i think most UK gamers will think the same – getting a US import is not really a major deal as they aren’t locked down. poor old french, german, and spanish gamers get nothing though… harsh.

  funny thing is, this news about the trademark hasn’t really spread outside of france – where the trademark organisation is based. wouldn’t surprise me if it turns out to be nothing – if you’re releasing a major IP in international markets, you’d be a fool not to protect it in every jurisdiction. doesn’t mean you intend to market your IP in those places… but that would make more sense if they’d registered the trademark application ages ago – it seems odd to leave it to now….

• lartens:Ni No Kuni European Release Soon To Be Announced? Awesome, though amazon usually give’s us one of an item on import, and the ps3 GAMES are supposedly region free unless locked to NTSC which i heard is rare, so either way, its mine, though that does mean upgrading the firmware on the ps3, so no more mario kart on the plus side i might actually use it. its not even plugged in. Though firefly on blu ray came today so it may get a spin, but as my tv is 720p and my laptop is over 1080p, maybe i should get a blu ray BD – rom drive. hmmmmm
• Just some guy:Supermodel3 is the sexiest super model of them all I can´t get my wheel pedals to work here… when configuring inputs,, it says.. “accelerate pedal”. I press enter to select than one.. the program waits for me to press some button… I press my gas pedal and nothing happens… I know it works, but the emulator won´t recognize it. Tried everything without succes so far
• Dibbs Ahoy:Sdatcher Gets Translation – Spelling Not Improved Woo! Finally some Snatcher translational related action! It’ll be cool to find out about Jean-Jack, aka, the bringer of Katrina and her showering shenanigans! Even though we already know what happens to that poor Grigger. Mind your head now dear sir!

  More Snatcher Konami, by the decree of the Grig we demand it!

• bedgell:Going, going, going onLive! Funny, I also ended up trialling dirt 3 – guess it’s a good game for just picking up. Gotta say, was surprisingly impressed with OnLive. Bit blurry resolution, ad I’d be interested to see how the load times compare to an installed version, but there was nothing really frustrating – just found a game and started playing. Now I just need to choose me a game to pick up for a quid – that’s just too good an offer to refuse. Tho I don’t wanna sign up for monthly pass or leave them with my bank details – suspect in gonna have to do one of those…
• bedgell:Dozens of top end games released in a 3 month window, which to get? Nobody messes with Adam We…
• Dibbs Ahoy:Dozens of top end games released in a 3 month window, which to get? Batman. As long as they have an Adam West mode.
• bedgell:Dozens of top end games released in a 3 month window, which to get? so obviously mw3 has my interest – but i can’t pretend i’m as excited about it this time, knowing that most of the team have left. gears 3 defo as it’s already on order thanks to the mizza. you know the surprise though? i’m really excited about sonic generations. i know i’m being a total mupp as it’s a classic case of sega being bound to screw it up. but i just really fancy playing something other than a shooter – actually, specifically a platform game.
• bedgell:Blue Skies Incoming? Woop! Tho typically the point at which I get daytime on a console is the point at which there stops being any other good games for it and I end up putting it in a box and never playing it again.

  At the risk of encouraging them to balls it up, I would quite like to have the tracks from daytona 2.

  I’d also like apple to %*#{ off telling me that daytona should be changed to daytime even tho I’ve told iPhone to stop it 4 bastard times!!

• lartens:Blue Skies Incoming? are u yanking my goat beard. daytona, daytona, that’s awesome. yes possibly dangerous, but atleast its something. no wait. they won’t do it right. and the dreamcast was good but not the classic arcade. even cce had its charm. and although i’d love a perfect conversion to consoles with online leaderboards, lets face it. there’s a saturn emulator that works pretty well, a model 2 emulator that also worked well on my old laptop until vista had a sp. and soon there will be the model 3 emu with sound. so really, i can play all the great from the comfort of my macbook.

  still this is interesting

• Luke:Does Xbox Live On Windows 8 Mean Cross-Platform Gaming? Let hope so. But im sure die hard console gamers will be booty hurt cause the pc n00b will just rape.
• bedgell:Xbox 360 to Get Steam-Powered? word press needs to sort its act out – i’m using the link editor thing rather than doing it manually. you’d think they’d get their own tags sorted!?
• lartens:Xbox 360 to Get Steam-Powered? hehe there were a couple, also there were no alt tags for anybody using a screen reader.

  As for the caption thing you put in, you’ll have to have them on entirely separate lines, they’re not actually html tags, wordpress converts them to a containing div tag with classes and id’s to style them, so writing them inline only invalids the mark up because wordpress doesn’t start or finish the p tags correctly around the text that is inline with the caption, its still displays the same and the text still wraps around, though sometimes the layout completely throws a wobbly and the navigation ends up at the end of the post.

• bedgell:Xbox 360 to Get Steam-Powered? or lartens even. listen, it’s 1.04 now, jeez!
• bedgell:Xbox 360 to Get Steam-Powered? oh oh – post been edited by the larterns. hehehe let me guess – i left those wp refs in on the images again right?! well it IS 1 in the morning!!
• bedgell:I Need A Heroes (Update) This is true – though glad to see there’s a good compromise of old school pixellation and brand spankers hd
• lartens:I Need A Heroes (Update) when video is cut every 300ms, it makes anything look interesting, but really hard to judge properly
• lartens:Ten, Ten, Here We Go Again… Sonic CD! Doth my eyes deceive me, is that widescreen support i see in that trailer, woot woot.

  +nested comments ahoy

• Dibbs Ahoy:Ten, Ten, Here We Go Again… Sonic CD! They better include it or they’ll really grind my Grig! That intro practically sold me my Mega CD! Not that I’m shallow or anything. It’s obviously all about gameplay, etc, etc. Ah screw it – it was grigging awesome!
• bedgell:Ten, Ten, Here We Go Again… Sonic CD! Yeah defo want the Japanese version – I’m expecting the levels will all have the same music though doubt the iOS versions will have the tasty intro and completion vids. Not that I really care as it’d be xbox all the way got this sucka
• Dibbs Ahoy:Ten, Ten, Here We Go Again… Sonic CD! I think that comment about the music coming from the Japanese game is to specify that it’s not the U.S version soundtrack we’ll be getting as that was completely different. It was far worse from what I’ve heard of it – not a toot toot to be seen! Although those crazy folk across the pond still give it props. Each to their own I suppose. But they’re wrong! Luckily the Euro tunage was the same as Japan. Close one!
• Dibbs Ahoy:Ten, Ten, Here We Go Again… Sonic CD! Woo! Better start practicing my Stardust Speedway times again ready to take the top spot on Xbox Live! Y’know, shortly before hackers take over the top 20 and legit players show me how I could’ve done it in half the time of my best efforts. Oh skill, how you forsake me so!
• bedgell:Dodgy Conversion? Bane of Our Lives i think you musta liked avp more than i did – what used to be a scary alien is basically just a gurning computer graphic. what used to be a lone wolf predator became too human. it’s a mess of a film. predators – the updated one – does get the predator right. it’s just a bit of a boring film. same thing with terminator 3 – they just can’t keep their characters consistent. amazingly though, ripley remains pretty consistent throughout – though that’s probably more to do with sigourney weaver.
• bedgell:Hurrah, zelda cd goodness boxed in for early purchasers, Skyward Sword s you can get this sucka in the UK? actually i just re-read the story and realise tat indeed, that is what it says
• bedgell:Oh son of a motherless goat, My Japanese Coach is on IOS i don’t know whether to give that a five star rating cos it’s actually a bit of bitch
• lartens:Dodgy Conversion? Bane of Our Lives yeah but compared to the epitome of awesome T2 was back in the day, and what T3 ended up as, is a bit more drastic than the cheese of original predator and the not so popular recent movies, though the first aliens vs predator i actually liked, haven’t seen the others.
• bedgell:Dodgy Conversion? Bane of Our Lives course terminator counts – there was definitely a lot of messing with that franchise. though if we’re going down the franchise route then surely both alien and predator have to be in there
• lartens:Dodgy Conversion? Bane of Our Lives haha, i totally forgot about this, i couldn’t think of a heinous crime against a childhood hero, unless the Terminator counts, Terminator 3 was appalling, when Arnie says “talk to the hand” and wears them glasses that’s it, game over man, game over. hehe
• bedgell:Hairy Golden Axe Wound and Cheap ChuChu for All! Defo worth another try – but if it’s still as bad as it was before then Sega are getting a very sternly worded letter. Where “letter” means “turd in a bag” and “sternly worded” means “flaming”

  Oh ps original Golden Axe is also cheap. Not Sonic tho. That’s the sucka I’m waiting for.

• lartens:Hairy Golden Axe Wound and Cheap ChuChu for All! Big B you old slutbag, what uuuuuup dawg?

  Chu chu had an update not long ago, i wonder if that multi player action works now?

• lartens:Jobsy resigns as ceo of apple, yeah, that’s what i’m calling him Sega made the right move though staying out of the console wars. That said, they are destroying their old IP’s, Sonic Generations is still possibly a recovery, Binary Domain could be a good newbie, i’m finding it hard to find a list of first party games, what they publish doesn’t really count.
• Dibbs Ahoy:Jobsy resigns as ceo of apple, yeah, that’s what i’m calling him Luckily I didn’t waste my time with any of those other companies and sided firmly with Sega who were better than all of them and that’s why they’re still going so strong until this day.

  Probably.

  *cries*

• Martin:Bethesda’s lawyers go outters on @notch mojang Hi this is Bethesda’s boss’s Doctor
  It seem you have a bad case of being a little b***h, so I’m prescribing a heavy dose of man the f**k up!
• bedgell:Zelda Symphony tickets London Hammersmith Apollo now on sale i can absolutely guarantee that as i’m not going that this will turn out to be completely awesome.

  bah!

  enjoy!
