08.51 – Poxy international friendlies.
Yesterday, I received an entirely unsolicited email from a bloke who wanted to tell me all about a brand new Arsenal football management game (you may have seen it mentioned over here earlier in the month). So, I sent him an email back chancing my arm and asking him for a copy to give away as a prize on this site, and to his eternal credit he agreed. So, as soon as I get the game, I’ll run a competition and one lucky winner will get a copy of Just Football’s Arsenal management game. Actually, I think he’s sending two copies, and as the game works on PC only it means me and my Mac can’t play it. So there’ll be two copies of the game to give away. Hurrah, and thanks to Peter for being such a sport. No doubt they’ll be porting it to the Mac just for me…*cough*…
Having watched Star Wars II – Attack of the Clones the other night, it struck me that the makers of the Oddworld games, Abe’s Oddysee etc, would have quite a successful case against George Lucas and co. for the shameless rip off of their characters. The Viceroy blokes are like the big boss baddies, that scene where they’re on a conveyor belt and have to avoid being crushed is pure Abe, some of the rolling metal baddies are tremendously similar and the flying dude who was the slave trader and Anakin’s boss looks just like the sligs except with wings. Is it just me, or is it a bit of a rip off?
Speaking of hideously scary and disfigured monsters, what the fuck is the the freak up to here?
Finally, here’s something to help pass the time today – the Museum of Hoaxes’, Hoax photo test. Dubya’s upside down book is a classic, although you know it’s a fake coz he’s reading with a 10 year old and that’s just a few years above his level.
Here’s hoping everyone comes back in one piece and ready to spank Southampton on Saturday.
