pitch it to EA

http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/april06/learner900402.php Channel 4 has commissioned a new series from the creators of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. The new series, Man to Man with Dean Learner, focuses on Garth’s manager, publisher and publicity agent, as played by Richard Ayoade. Makers Avalon Television said: ‘Nightclub owner, restauranter, publisher, international playboy - Dean Learner is a one-man brand. ‘After his co-funded Channel 4 television hit Garth Marenghi's Darkplace he now invites you into his luxury penthouse flat for an all-new, entertaining and immensely stylish TV talk show. ‘Man to Man with Dean Learner will feature all Dean's remaining celebrity friends, as well as plenty of live music and fine fish-dish cuisine in a show that reeks of class - but not fish!’ Six episodes are to be recorded at Teddington Studios next month (May), and free audience tickets are available from www.tvrecordings.com The show, which also features Matthew Holness, is expected to air later this summer.

The Matador was awesome infact, i really loved that movie, which was totally unexpected as i first saw it on a plane, choosing it from a selection of utter shite.

A classic comeback! I enjoyed it.

so far games played = 0 I got distracted DAMN!

Trying to find them... there was... an accident with the reactor.

Anyone going to this? http://www.developconference.com/ I am sadly away the week of the conference, but I live in Brighton so I can give advice on where to stay, eat, etc for anyone interested. I'll be back the weekend following if anyone wants to hang around to meet up with me, Yufster, Bob, Nick, Dan, Ben etc. Ben will be attending the conference itself I think, I'm not sure about anyone else.

If you don't like sarcasm you may want to prepare yourself, this is a forum of jaded sarcastic individuals what were you googling for when you found that old news piece?!

hmmmm

????? I cant watch it apaprently as MTV regionalise their content, tossers. actually maybe that's good.

*disclaimer* don't blame me if I'm wrong ¬¬ we could test it out though, pre-order something else that arrives sooner and send it back heh.

from past experience they get it to you on or before release... but I havent done it in a while. I think it says that somewhere on their site actually.

it's not too far away, also but it is like a different country heh.

"The house of representatives is filled with insane jackasses"

I've never had that problem really, but maybe I just dont care because I have a better job than they do and could spank them down if need be. T think It's your own paranoia, you clearly have a guilty conscious. I bet they wordlessly sell you the games and say nothing but the voices in your head speak to you.

Whilst pissing about on Steam I discovered this lilttle game: http://shadowgroundsgame.com/new/ it's nothing super special, but it uses new technology to create an old skool kind of top down game in the same vein as Alien Breed or The Chaos Engine. It's also reminiscent of Neo Contra, the best game ever ¬¬. Oh and it has 4 player co-op on one pc too. I was interested enough to get the demo, I've not played that much of it - 5 minutes- but it seems interesting for fans of those kind of games. It's not going to blow anyone's mind but it looks amusing and fun
