Greetings Fellow Gadders



Dont FALLOUT of the vault

/// If you just happen to find yourself on the Planet of Dreams anytime soon feel free to look up my latest LBP doodling. It's an epilogue to what happened on Helghan after the whole 'splody deal mixed in with a large slice of radioactive wasteland pie from the bestest game on the PS3 EVER! Now, i have to admit to not making any preliminary sketches before hand and just created the whole thing on the fly, but i think it works pretty well, those that have played previous levels of mine know i luuuurve to make little tiny detailed models of things, and this level is no exception. IF you survive to the end you will be rewarded with a super EDEN computer complete with an awesome Hypnotron (tm)(c) display.

Combat gear is optional. The level is also copyable, grab it today.

And while i'm here:-

Size: M speed increase - 2Mb to 10Mb

Thanks for requesting your upgrade. You'll be able to enjoy your new superfast up to 10Mb service in the next few days.

We'll also drop you an email to let you know when your service has been upgraded.

/// Well, i figured seeing as they were already charging me for the upgrade (checked your V bill lately?) i'd go to their website and request it. Anyone else upgrading? Apparently after i'd finished ranting on the phone to the Indian call center woman she told me that they were phasing out the 2Meg cable and everyone would have to have 10Meg, and that if i didn't want to upgrade i would eventually LOSE my cable, how fucked is that!? TBH 2Meg d/l is fine for me, as a gamer i think i'd appreciate a faster upstream.

FUEL : delayed


BASTARDS! According to VG247, the console versions of Codemaster's upcoming post-apocalyptic racing game Fuel has been delayed one week, with its release moved from May 29 to June 5... why? WHY!? i'm looking at you inFAMOUS!! what am i going to do with my week off now?

But on a Happier note:- The award for largest playable area in a console game was awarded to Fuel developer Asobo Studios. Guinness World Records presented the developer with a certificate to commemorate the achievement, which will be included in the next printing of the Guinness World Records Gamers Edition.

"Largest playable area in a console game: The largest playable environment in a console game is 5,560 square miles (14,400 km²), and is featured in FUEL (Codemasters, 2009). The area features rivers, deserts, forests and mountains and was demonstrated at the offices of Guinness World Records, London, UK, on 20 May 2009."

Hey man, things are going down yeah

Listen, I know you're busy trying to get a handle on those freak-show powers and all that hoo-ha, but your ole buddy Zeke's been busy cookin' up ways to make things a little easier on you. Not sayin' you need to pull on some tights or anythin' like that (although I still have the designs), but the Reapers are like giant multiplying roaches. With guns. They're everywhere, man.

So, being the resident expert on these things, I thought I'd lend a hand to make sure your shaven lil' head stays attached to your shoulders. And I'll be right by your side... as soon as I find a replacement for the gun you accidently blew up with your electric ju-ju.

Worms on PSN - teeny bit better please

ello peeps, Grand Moff mobiletone has kindly invited me to join in here, so here's me starter for 10:

Between KZ2 and the like, I'm really enjoying Worms on PSN, I've bought maybe 6-7 versions of this over the years and this one sticks to the formula with a good hi-res look. It's ideal for a quick online blast - don't need anyone else round drinking my coffee just so I can Holy Handgrenade em...

BUT the online lobby SUCKS! Why doesn't it list the game types, why does join game jump to host game, why does it keep resetting the options you select? The Team 17 forum does talk about bug fixes for low bandwidth users - but come on, lets have a nice simple list of games please, then an option to host one.

ALSO the scrollings broken, really bad. Come on guys, justify the millionth time I've bought the thing please.

Right rant over, that feels better.

FUEL - PS3 gameplay footage!


all i can say is THANK FUCKERY it's nothing like that mobile abortion of a free roaming buggies and trucks offroad PS2, sorry PS3! game Baja: Edge of Control, i bought that because in my foolishness i thought that just maybe the previews of it were maybe a little harsh.. ok, IF it was released on the PS2 i could have forgiven it, who buys those games and keep them? i bet it's the same spotty little shits that keep those horrible horrible ATV vs gaming sensibility games titles turning up every year. since the wonderful PURE and now FUEL they are seriously going to have to rethink what they do, or not and we'll still keep on getting the ATV series hiding on the shops shelving fooling gullible children and clueless parents into buying them because it looked like a good game on the box! someone give THQ a slap with a wet fish for me will you.. please..

thanks [racermako] for posting this footage up for us.

and Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw for this weeks midweek review Zero Punctuation: Velvet Assassin
