My favourite line is this, and I'm sad it was never expanded on. Quote: At this point I admitted defeat. I had a desultory play of the game on Steam, but my Xbox 360 PC controller was recently destroyed in an unfortunate incident and it was no fun with the arrow keys. And then fate intervened. Maybe he'll reveal all in a separate column! |

You can invariably just download the patch in the background, play the game and then install it once it's finished downloading. It really is a complete non-issue for anyone who hasn't already decided that they want to have an awful time just so they can whinge about it. |

That said, all that stuff about it having to download new runtimes and it not downloading it properly because an old version was there already or whatever he was bleating on about - that's not stuff that any games console owner should need to dick about with. |

I just don't see why games need to install separately anyway? They don't on the Xbox 360. On that console you can download something and play it as soon as it's done. There's no need for a separate install. |

I left the flat with my mother on boxing day and said it was snowing. She said the state radio forecast was rain. We argued about it for a while but then we saw a party official we knew called Rudi at the S bahn stop. Mother asked him as flakes clumped around us. He said it was raining. I began to protest about this blatant bit of state propaganda but she pulled me up short and hissed into my ear "Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear" |

Trying to write a blatant rip-off of Curio's Cottage Quiz New Year's Eve quiz for my friends. Is it actually possible to do a music round without either giving the name of the song away or being far too cryptic for a group of drunken 20-and-30 somethings in the dying hours of a year? |
