ELSPA: Not all of us are pirates after all

Feb 1st 2008 2:34PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
What complete guff. Allow me to clear this up for everyone. In the UK, when you want to say that the majority of a group does something, you say "90% of that group does this". It's something that is said so often that the 90% figure is meaningless.

This is not to say that no-one should be pulling this idiot up on his statement. It doesn't matter where you are, when you start quoting statistics during a discussion on a subject like this, you'd better get your stats bang on.

I'm pretty sure he was not misquoted. He said exactly what he said and because he was taken quite literally by a lot of people, he's trying to deflect the blame onto the media. It's pathetic. It really is.

X3F review: Bomberman Live

Jul 25th 2007 11:34AM (Joystiq Xbox)
This is the only game I was ever able to play with my dad. We've just been sat for hours trying to blow each other to pieces again. It's really simple, universal and addictive as heroin. The only essential XBLA game other than Geometry Wars in my honest opinion.

Share your 360 Laws

Americans: Thou shalt not attempt to imitate my accent, no matter how well meaning you are. Just because I'm English doesn't mean you should do your Cheeky Cockney Chimneysweep, Dick Van Dyke impression. I'm not a cockney. I hate London.

Mel Gibson: Perspectives from a Jewish Fan

Aug 2nd 2006 8:21AM (Cinematical)
Mel Gibson is a fool. After The Passion, I'm not surprised to hear that he has a problem with Jews. And to the "Oh but we all say silly things when we're drunk" apologists I'm happy to inform that I have been exceptionally drunk in my time but I have never transformed into a bigot. These kinds of views are either there or they're not. All alcohol does is make sure you don't care whether these views are expressed in public.

He's a pig, plain and simple. In a civilised society, comments like this are at best pathetic, and at worst dangerous.

But I won't be boycotting his films because of this just like I won't be boycotting Roald Dahl or Wagner. I'll be boycotting Mel Gibson films until he releases a decent one...I mean come on. Signs?

Nintendo DS Lite cracks on hinge

Jul 17th 2006 2:12PM (Joystiq)
Arrrgh! After seeing this article, I just checked my DS Lite and it has a crack almost identical to that one. I just don't see how I've done it. I, like most people, treat my DS like royalty. Either it's had a bump I don't remember or it has a design flaw. This article and the comments from everyone else suggests it's a design flaw.
