Quote:

Oh boy. According to a Gamasutra report, several members of the Crackdown development team - including lead designer Billy Thomson - have formed a new development studio. And "may" be working on Crackdown 2.

The "form a new studio" bit, that's legit. They're called Ruffian Games, and are based in Dundee, Scotland. But the Crackdown bit?

Gamasutra only state that there are "unconfirmed reports" that the studio are working on it at the moment. Though it's certainly possible, what with the composition of this team, the fact they're not at Realtime (who developed Crackdown) working on APB and the fact Microsoft got awful coy the other day about the possibility of a second Crackdown.

Anyone on here late tonight? Well I know its late now but I mean all night pretty much.
Its essay time for me and its in for 3pm tomorrow, which means no sleep for me while I try to stave off procrasination and type out 2500 words by about 8 in the morning before I go to uni where I will stuff my essay full of references in quotes.
But anyway knowing what Im like Ill be on here every 5 minutes and would like company, Ill talk about any old shite or new shite. Or you could help me! how much fun would that be?

Worth a watch just for many cheesy lines and moments that happen in it.

You remind me of me, doing my two final year projects, with about 12 hours left until the deadline.

I got them in. Just.

If you carry on opening all your presents, Shin, there won't be any on Christmas morning.

Shin · **Posted:** Fri Dec 19, 2008 11:13

*Sulks*

It's not a present-Gaz bought it yesterday-AND the cookers just arrived-but I can't play with that yet. CAPPUCINO TIMEH!

I never get presents and I get excited when I do and I opens 'em all! My SISTER evern bought me one this year-a really really cool bag! That may not seem much, but they are poor and can no affords it-so tha made me happy

Ah! I thought you were referring to my post so I went back to see what I'd done wrong with it.

I rebuilt my exact same model laptop on Wednesday - took me 2 and a half hours from scratch, including getting all the apps I use set up. What were you doing that took 3 days?

He was optimising it for GTA4.

All out stuff is delivered by SMS, depending what Teir depends on what applications you can use. So you have to wait for one app to install rebeet, etc, await the next one...etc

One for Duds... There's a Wipeout HD demo coming out soon.

So soon you'll have no excuse not to indulge.

Well, apart from the huge pile of unplayed things anyway.

To be fair, Quote Unquote is a big bag of wank anyway.

I have been given my old videocamera that has been lost for the best part of 3 years! It still has a tape in it that I am watching with me as a teenager, camping, me moving to shropshire, my mum, an ex boyfriend and much more! I am so happy I have got it back and I am going to be going mad and recording everything with it because I've missed so much!

I am really really happy

I don't understand how while sitting down with my iPhone, perfectly still, the signal strength can vary from moment to the next from none to full, while it drops the full wi-fi connection and fails to pick up the GPRS connection. Is the iPhone this shit, connectivity-wise, or are airborn signals just very inconsistent from minute space to space of air?

Something for the Achievement whores:

Jamesoff pointed me at that a few days ago. Took me ages to work out the final colour based achievements.

It was excellent. I bashed every key on the keyboard to get it eventually.

I really should pimp Push Jelly a bit more but this is terribly amusing.

Fallout 3 thread is broken (again) - what is it with these spoiler tags that breaks threads?

Joans · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8648

They always seem to work ok on Bill. No idea if that helps to identify the problem?

Dimrill · **Posted:** Sat Dec 20, 2008 23:58

Some shoddy ape coded them. We need a young lithe foxy stoat with his own gun.

Wanted to wish Mimi belated happy birthday but when I click on thread white-blank page for some reason. :'(

Still, a happy slappy scrappy belated happy birthday Mimi! :luv:

Mimi's thread fixed and bastard spoiler-filled Fallout 3 fixed again.

Last I spoke to Grim... about it, it looked like Apache gives up halfway through serving the page. I think it actually kills the entire child process. That makes no goddamn sense though. Next time I see Grim... on IM I'll ask him for an update.

I didn'tbreak it this time!

Christ my fet hurt-I am gonna be so so sorry on facebook tomorrow man, SO sorry >.< bastards with their bastarding camcorders-bastards

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

I think we'd better stop using spoiler tags, in the meantime.
