When in Rome

Eat and sweat a lot, apparently. It's unbelievably hot here, here being Rome, which is why I haven't posted a thing recently - travelling, sweating, and managg', Italian internet is flaky as anything. Up, down, up down. Down. Up? Up.

Down.

Italy's playing Ukraine. One of the Italians just hurt his own foot kicking a Ukrainian - and is trying to get attention for it. Bloody marvellous stuff.

Top Ten Best Videogame Kills Ever. Includes the superbly grisly chainsaw-to-the-neck which I suffered once in Resi 4. Wrrrr.

GDC's call for papers is open...

The UK's first pr0-gaming coverage is going to go out on the Extreme Sports Channel (starting niche, then): 4.5 hours of live football of some sort, then Project Gotham 3. Not the most thrilling of game choices, I'd wager, but if the players are interesting and have character, then it could be good. If they aren't, it'll be a disaster, of course. I wonder if my Telewest setup carries ESC?

Paul Marino's definitive machinima blog (he organises the Mackies - machinima awards).

Only in Sweden: a pop song about an IRC bot. Apparently it's way up in the charts! (Thanks Moose!)

Brigitta sends in word of this "pretty sweet lo-fi online game": retro-style motorbike racing. Worth checking out not least for the hilarious graphics: giant sushi?? Thoroughly approve.

Over and out. x

Only chainsaw-to-the-head-ed once? Gosh, you got away lucky! That happened many a time to me.

Still found the Garrador claw through the face/claw through the crotch more cringey, though - but nothing beats the wrrrrrrr factor...

Hell, Resi 4 could take all 10 spots.
I saw a video somewhere of the many deaths of Leon Kennedy, Anyone else seen it?

So why go to Rome? Come to Canada. Someone will buy you a beer. (Except you bloody 'Muricans) Don't drink it warm! Sorry, no football (that w'be soccer to you 'Muricans) but we do have hockey. No finesse but plenty of fighting. See you soon ;)
