I’d just like to point out I *HATE* Franchise X. Really, really it’s the Pits. It’s the epitome of unthinking franchises, designed to eke yet more money out of us, without risking anything, appealing to our basest instincts, sex and conservatism (it’s been around for a long time). The games companies do *so* well with

Do *not* open your bunker door, not even if

Xbox 360 Movie Player I interviewed the llama-crazed visualisation genius Jeff Minter a few months ago; the first half of the interview was on our first cover-disc, the second half is available here on our website. Tis a pity they cut out him shouting ‘Vindaloo’ at the camera and a lot of what he says

F.U.Q.(Frequently Used Profanities.) Mine are “Piss N’ Blood”, “Arsebandit”, “Fucktarts” and “Kant”. What are yours? (This is actually a dead clever way of increasing my hits by using obscene language; I get enough of the “sexy gril” hits anyway…)

‘My Lobotomy’: Howard Dully’s Journey Another fantastic link from Jonty, about the psychiatrist Walter Freeman and his rapid ice-pick lobotomies. Curiously, I think my grand-uncle was given a lobotomy many years ago, but it’s one of those topics that my family refuses to talk about.
