Hope you're doing all right now, Spaff. Minus a body part, of course. Pity the rest of us who have to watch Christmas specials while sober. Well, more or less sober. While watching a marathon with the family last night, my mother's boyfriend and I split a mickey of rum across two glasses of nog each. It really helps that stupid John Goodman Frosty thing go down better. Hoping morphine does even more for you.

Like last week, tentative in, with the knowledge that I'll probably end up having to work that day. If not, GTA is definitely go.

Awww... He's such a trooper. Happy Christmas, Yuf. I'd say something encouraging, but that shit always sounds so phony. You have a point though, shit has to get better sometime. Hope you get some super shiny stuff under the tree this year to cheer you up.

Dammit. Stupid work. Do we have a New Year's game scheduled yet?

I tried Blood Money. Really I did. I appreciated what it did, but man did I ever get sick of the game kicking my ass so frequently. In the end, I quite in frustration. You're making me want to go back and give it another go now. I dedicate the undoubted weeks of cursing at my xbox that will follow to your podcast.

Grats. I was actually really interested in this game for reasons which are still unclear even to me. Is it actually any good?

We need to get people who don't know how to use yo-yos to review it.

Can you? I figured as it was in a flashback (or whatever) it was a one-time thing. Ok then, cool. You're good.

You missed a bobblehead, but otherwise no. It's in your 16 year old phase, sitting on your dad's desk. Permanent boost to two skills, but I forget which two at this point.

Yeah, it's a really solid little game. I ended up getting stuck real bad at one point, as for all its cuteness it actually has a really brutal learning curve, but it's definitely one to check out. Excited for the sequel as well. Also, nice to hear from you again, Joanna.

Do you mean Dead Rising? I didn't catch much of that at all in the time I spent with Dead Space. I may need to pump more into it if that's the case, as I like it when a game does something like that.

Damn. Working Tuesday. Looks like I'll need to opt out of this round. Sorry, gents.

I'd be game for a Thumb session sometime.

Idle Thumbs: Where it takes us only 3 pages to seg from sexy costumes to lost cities of Peru.

Oh man, I can't look away...

Haven't got my work schedule yet. Tentative in, but we'll have to see.

That song was fantastic. My god. Well done, guys. I've written an entry for goty.cx now as well.

Yeah, not even all Wii games give you points. I don't exactly get the logic. Zelda: Twilight Princess, a launch game, gives you 50 points. Battalion Wars 2, a game from about a year ago, gives you nothing. If I'd gotten points for every first party Wii game, I'd have been fine, but two or three didn't count. Couple of DS games as well. Hell, if any one of those had worked I'd be fine. Unfortunately, imported games are out as well. I've got Daigasso: Band Brothers, Osu Tatake Ouendan, Picross DS, and a couple of others, but the serial numbers for Japanese Club Nintendo are one character longer. Boo.

Oh man. So rad. I love that series. Must get. First half of 2009 here we come!

Sorry. Love Danny Boyle, (actually kind of liked The Beach) but Millions bored me...

Made it all the way through, but by the end I'd gotten distracted and was surfing other things in another tab. Not the best show, really.

Told you I could fly that bloody thing. Yeah, that was awesome. More people = more better, but today we did have a chance to try out some of the 4-player co-op that we wouldn't have had a chance to otherwise, which turned out to actually be really good. I particularly enjoyed that run of Bomb Da Base that that screenshot was from. Toblix, next time I'll be the one winning by a single kill. Also, that rocket duel we had with each other from a block away was epic. And when the police helicopter fell on and blew up two cop cars at once. Hell, the whole thing was badass. Thumbs, get in on this.

I don't know. Did you see Millions? That movie was pretty bad, as I recall. And yeah, Wrestle, as a guy who works in DVD retail, watching the latest Mummy movie fly off the shelves yesterday was signal enough that plenty of people really don't think, just buy.

Oh god, I thought we'd taken care of this crap...

Apparently I don't have something called "Assembly.System Core 3.5.0.0", which means that Plain Sight won't install. Tips?
