Kevin, we're not being contrary when we say Eminem is shit. You need to listen to better rap music.

I wonder which one we'd rather have... fuck's sake, you make us sound like we ENJOY being a soap opera. Christ.

here we fucking go

How do you mean excellent? Acting. I personally think he has turned into a good actor. Catch me if you can, Shutter Island, Inception etc etc. Think he's actually starting to not look twelve now too. I've always thought he was a good actor though going back to the Basketball Diaries. He was already 18+ in This Boy's Life. That's just ridiculous. Definitely a decent actor, anyway, though you know some people will never forgive him for Titanic. I quite like him in The Departed. Granted, he's not as good as Marc Wahlberg's rampant swearing and insulting but nobody is.

One of my favourites of the year (and one of my favourite bands). What Would My Lover Say? and Cave-o-Sapien are both class. The synths in Ghost Pressure are incredibly catchy as well.

Pretty sure it's only this and Mortal Kombat that are major remakes this year. The ratio of new IPs to remakes is staggeringly high in video games and the industry coped better than many others with the recession.

Yawn.

Currently watching The Assassination of Jesse James. I'm enjoying it but it's slower than a white man in slippers.

I'll be there as well. Now all I need is Wolf Parade to come up our way and I'm sound.

New Of Montreal album. Bit of a shit attempt at RnB-ized indie pop. Bad quality rip mind so it might sound better higher quality and in headphones.

Toy Story 3. Absolutely fantastic. If you've seen and adore the first two, this one will be perfect for you. Hilarious and touching all in one swoop.

Burnout Paradise is just about the best multiplayer game on the console. Just roll up, join a race and have fun smashing each other into oncoming traffic at 185mph. You can get hours upon hours out of the single player too with lots of free DLC. Well recommended.

This is for everyone.

As it happens, I'm staying in Birtley. I'm on me way into town later I except to see sh*t loads of tw*ts wearing yellow striped shirts speaking Scottish. Funny people the gerodies, me bird saw shit loads of them running out of Moats house with his shitty boxers. By the way Alex (above) you thick cu*t Paul Maccartney played a gig at Anfield last year I'm sure you are Name another place in Gateshead it's next to then. And last I checked, The Beatles finished in 1970. 2009 is not 1970. Nor is Paul McCartney in The Beatles now. The Beatles' best stuff was written and recorded nowhere near Liverpool too.

Oasis

I love how he's continually repeating his "liverpool have" thing as if it's a slogan down there.

I'd put money on him being used in central midfield when he arrives here. It's a bit concerning reading that post but it's a signing for the long term (or it should be) so he could develop nicely. I'm being cautiously optimistic with it.

Why did they paint a face on that building?

Biffy are fucking shite now IMO. I like Mumford and Sons' album but I prefer Laura Marling's more. The XX is very good but I can't see it winning the Mercury Prize. I'm going for Mumford along with Happy. An outside bet of Weller.

Very good in my experience. They're certainly experts at fixing the RRoD since I got mine back in 9 days once (anywhere between that and 2 weeks, they say) and it came with a new disk tray to boot.

While you pay more for Live, the accessibility and features of the service are much better. If you're bothered about achievements/trophies, it's much easier to access and compare with your friends (which, tbf, the only reason having them is to have more than your mates), it has basic stuff like party chat, private chat without having to be in the same game, a better spotlight on their marketplace offers and new releases (indie games aside) and is just an easier service to get around. It's not as easy to look at as the XMB on the PS3 but it functions a lot better. As for games, well, it's basically down to "Do you prefer Mass Effect or Killzone? Do you prefer Forza or Gran Turismo" since those are really the only exclusives either console has so it's a similar choice. The PS3 is definitely better made but the slim 360 supposedly addresses the main problems so, I don't know, maybe that'll have a better rate of not exploding.

Cannibal Corpse to JLS

I quite like it. It's a bit poncy like, but it's not really flavoured with tequila, it's flavoured with some citrus concoction making it a bit like lager and lime. The tequila just strengthens it a bit (it's 6% iirc) but you can't taste it imo. Bit too sweet for my liking, I've got to say. Is very similar to larger and lime now that you mention it like but I could barely polish it off. When I was drinking it, I couldn't help thinking that the two should never be combined. Following on from the earlier talk about Carling, we were in some god awful pub last night that had nowt going for it so had to get that on draught. It's like drinking contaminated rain water.

That was my first thought as well

Had some Desperados last night which is a tequila flavoured lager. Basically, the stupidest fucking idea for a drink I've ever seen.
