The new leader of the forces of darkness pictured on Sky today with an interesting choice of tie.

The eejit still has a lot to learn, obviously….

It seems that a new game is being planned (as in they have barely started making it), for the Xbox 360 currently titled Star Wars – Force Unleashed.

Now there is much potential here, and many great star wars games have there been in the past, with all of the Dark Forces games, the later ones called ‘Jedi Knight’, in additiion to the great x-wing /tie fighter games. I myself have high hopes.

Why you may ask? Well check the video below. It is a ‘pre-visualisation’, so its not the finished game engine producing the great stuff, but if the game is anything like what’s in that video, I will definately be paying a visit to the shops. Well, alright, a virtual shop online, but you know what I mean.

our local bars are shite. they haven’t got a lazer bar so quite frankly they can get bent. this interactive surface called ibar (YAWN should be uber lazer-bar) detects touch from either you or your pint and then sends a blazing trail of illuminating blue megacool to make contact with said item. there site can be found HERE

there is a video that you MUST watch HERE however i warn you that you may never be able to use a real bar again

i can barely speak english never mind write it in any readable form however today i noticed a click through to the d bomb from THIS website. upon visiting the site i have no idea what language its in and wont even offend anyone by trying to make a guess. one thing is for sure though its not English, and that my friends means were crossing continents with our unique brand of crap.

update: the link to the d bomb is about half way down the page in a post. i want to know what is being said.

I forgot how good mask was until i spotted its opening song on youtube bask in all its 80s glory. if you didnt watch m.a.s.k then there was something clearly wrong with you, possibly homosexuality. one thing though, im almost sure the words at the very end are something to do with laser aids. only the 80s could mix lasers and aids in such a brilliant way

reserved. simple. effective. understated. all words that are very applicable to noel. the US version however is hosted by this

im not entirely sure what it is, but im almost certain its either

• a) ian thorpe aka the thorpedo
• b) agent 47
• c)a shoe

after that im stumped. the presenter however is NOTHING compared to the overhaul the show has got in other areas. the uk version we have the salt of the earth. together. acting like they’ve known each other all there life cheering and crying for one and another playing for about 20 quid. the us version has deemed the general public of the USA inappropriate for tv viewing and has replaced them with busty models. interesting move nbc. the trailer is below and you have to see it to believe it. nothing has convinced
me the USA is a renegade state more than this video. no level of inept foreign policy on bushs behalf has come close to having the effect this video has had.

oh yeah and they play for 6 million

If you havnt heard of jack Thompson hes basically a loud mouth American politician with extreme views on video gaming and somthing of a cult hate figure on the internet. ack Thompson ramped up his anti-Bully campaigning again this week, telling an interviewer on OUT-LAW that “…America is becoming the land of the free and the home of the utterly depraved”. This of course is great news for SPOnG’s news team, as we clearly love writing these eyes-to-the-ceiling, news-that-writes itself updates on any new bits of hilarious nonsense that emanates from Thompson’s scrambled mind.

The anti-videogaming campaigner’s latest rant relates to last week’s tragic school shooting in North Carolina. Thompson believes Alvaro Castillo, the troubled teenager responsible, was brought up in a ‘culture’ of violent games,
having been a regular player of such games since he was eight years old.

“This youth Alvaro Castillo, you can go on the internet and see portions of his video which is a suicide note,” said Thompson. “He’s killed his father and he goes to his school and shoots up his school and he’s talking
at length about the violent entertainment he’s been obsessed with since he was eight years of age and I now find from speaking with a family friend that some of the entertainment was violent video games.

“It’s yet another example, you can add this to Columbine, Paducah, Jonesboro Arkansas, Wellsboro, I could go on for half an hour giving you the names of schools that sound like battlefields in World War II. We have reality being infected with virtual reality,” Thompson continued, barely concealing his glee.

He told the interviewer that the situation in the US needs to be remedied by copying the laws surrounding the sale of games with adult content in Europe, noting that: “In the UK, you embody in your laws the notion that there is certain adult entertainment that shouldn’t be sold to kids,” he said. “No one is trying to ban it outright, but as it stands now, regardless of the rating that the game may
get, anyone of any age will be able to buy it and that is just very dangerous. America has become the land of the free and the home of the utterly depraved.”

The annoying thing is that i agree with Thompson’s basic objective – in that violent games should clearly not be sold to minors. However, we disagree with his scandal-mongering approach and his tendency to try to make political capital for himself by making use of these types of tragedies to further his campaign.

Going on to comment about the extensive gun ownership in the state of Florida, Thompson also said: “I live in Miami, I’m not giving up my gun because if somebody comes in my house I want to be able to kill him… Unfortunately, when you have a country that is awash in guns, you have got to do something about the stimuli to use those guns.”

Its a fact people. often il sit reading the news and making posts for this site only to realise maybe i have to much free time. i however have been educated in the art of much free timery this day

Ben Heck has gone to great effort to install a xbox360 into a laptop style case replete with 17″ widescreen HD display and quite honestly i dont know if im even that impressed by the unit itself. im just possibly impressed by the effort it must of taken.

The reason hes given for going off on this 360 modding tangent is

A friend of mine asked back in May ‘Can you build an Xbox 360 laptop’ And I responded ‘Sure, can you pay for it?’ He agreed, and thus I set forth on what was surely to be my most complex and insanely ridiculous videogame project yet.

insane yes. ridiculous yes.

Got our 1000th hit last night. not bad for a bunch of idiots.

whay aye!

Blackburn defender Gray then acquired a black eye when Rooney (12 years his
junior) belted him, without getting up from his seat. The SMB (smacked mackem buffoon) was then removed by bouncers, while it’s alleged that Rooney was asked to “calm down”.

Update: The Football Association are studying a waiter’s report
before deciding whether to extend Rooney’s ban. Or knight him.

PS: In a disgraceful piece of tabloid gutter press journalism, The
Sun described Gray as a “Premiership
ace.”
