Has Microsoft responded to my insult regarding Root Beer Tapper?

Current rumors suggest that Microsoft will release a Rare game on Xbox Live Arcade. By Rare I mean the developer Rare. So what is this game that will show people they don't just release old retro crap........none other that JetPac!

This might not become a reality but can you imagine those spectrum graphics in high definition.....if that happens I will take back everything I said about Xbox Live Arcade and Microsoft's strategy(and yes I'm being sarcastic!)

Lost Update

Well I've watched episode 7 of Lost Season 3 and I can confirm it was.....(drum roll please).....OK.
So what do I mean by "OK", well it was much better than the recent episodes of Lost and it carried the story arch well from the cliff hanger. Sawyer steals the show once again with his unique sense of humor. I'm not going to say anything to spoil the episode for those that haven't seen it yet, instead just stating that it is a typical Lost episode that reveal a little bit more back story but also poses more questions.

Lost And Found

Well Lost Season 3 returned to American TV last night after what seems like a year long break between episodes (the series took a break after episode 6 back on 11th August 2006), however we are promised that the remainder of the series will be shown without any further breaks. Over here in the UK things are picked up fairly quickly as Sky One is showing the remainder of the series starting on 11th of Feb.

So the question is "Does anybody still care?". My answer so far is yes, however I am starting to lose my patients with Lost as the show is dragging out the answers we all want to know. That said I looking forward to episode 7 and my continued watching of the show will remain on how good the rest of season 3 really is.

I will provide an update when I have watched the episode.

Beer Anyone?

Normally the response to the above question would be along the lines of Stone Cold saying "Hell Yeah", however the question in Microsoft's case is "WTF!" Let me explain, Microsoft's newest Xbox Live Arcade title is "Root Beer Tapper".




So while the entire Xbox community is waiting for Worms to be released we get this. I can almost hear commentator Jim Ross screaming "WHY MICROSOFT WHY!". I'm sorry I am into retro gaming but I do feel Microsoft needs to take a leaf out of Nintendo's strategy and release some more recent classic games to really push Xbox Live Arcade to it's full potential.

Obviously Xbox Live Arcade caters for numerous tastes in gaming and there may be many of you that welcome Root Beer Tapper with open arms.....however personally myself if I wanted to play the game I would use MAME on my PC and save myself buying Microsoft points....hell I could even get a real beer for cheaper and have more fun!

Ladies & Gentlemen.....

Wrestlemania is on its way and the main events have been announced. However there is only 1 wrestling event that I'm focused on at the minute and that is WWE Fantasy. Now ignore the first thing that enters your mind when you read WWE Fantasy - this is actually a fantasy league.
I currently have a personal league setup and yes folks I'm currently number 1 (no surprises there then!) although I do have some close competition from a new entry. However just a quick tip if your currently taking part in the event - it helps if you buy more than just Batista!
I will provide updates of the current progress and if anyone is interested in joining let me know.

This Blog Is Brought To You Via The Wii!

It's sunday and I am bored. So I wondered if I could post a blog using my nintendo wii - and guess what? You can! This took 6 minutes to complete!

Super Mario Reloaded

I just had to post this up. I seen this quite a while back and not only did it make me laugh but I was incredibly impressed with the effort this guy had gone to. Anway Below is the re-enactment of the best bit from "The Matrix Reloaded" using Mario etc......enjoy.

The Following Takes Place Between 3pm and 4pm

As some of you no doubt know the TV show "24" is currently showing it's sixth season (Day 6). With a seventh season (Day 7) no doubt in the making Jack Bauer will finally be able to quote "this was the worst week of my life!" - which true 24 fans will know is not quite true as each day does not carry on exactly where the last ended. Personally I always wondered if jack knows it's going to be a bad day when his alarm clock wakes him up by saying "The following takes place between 7am and 8am".

Unlike another American TV show I won't mention, 24 continues to deliver the goods and does not disappoint. This is definitely not a show you want to get Lost.....shit I said I wasn't going to mention that other show!

24 runs in real time and many people have claimed the show is unrealistic as it does not show Jack going to the toilet - well first of all I would just like to say "How many times do you want him to go to the toilet in one day?" and two that I think Jack is the master of choosing his moments and most likely takes his whizz in the 5 minute advert breaks - like we all do in real life (so how is this not true to life?).

Finally upon closing it has been announced that a 24 movie is in the pipeline, however breaking news suggests that Peter Jackson of Lord of The Ring fame is interested in directing the movie.
Apparently Mr Jackson feels this movie would enable him to beat his current 3hr+ movies record by being the first movie to last a full 24 hours. When also asked if the film would be broken up into parts like Kill Bill - Jackson laughed and said "Why would I kill Bill Buchanan?"

More news as this develops.

I'm Back!

That's right I'm back - like the family member you can't stop from visiting. Well it has been a hectic time that has stopped me posting for around 10 days - but never fear those times have past and the site lives on.

Hey just be glad this site isn't the TV show "Lost" as any true fan of the show will tell you if they only had to wait 10 days for the next update it would be a blessing!
