You've pretty much summed up everything I was going to say word for word, although I never got past the first few hours in FF8 (for no real reason other than I moved onto another game and couldn't be bothered to finish it).

Great article. Nice one Jason.

And now we have whiny hip teens acting out trashy drama that would make a soap opera writer cringe. I don't mind the "youth against the establishment" themes, but the shitty teen drama is just terrible.

I managed to get The Witcher Enhanced Edition, priced at £15, for less than a fiver, which was pretty cool. The problem is that most of their stock is crap (new and used). I've still got £20 on a gift card that I'm desperate to make the most of before they fold, but there's nothing worth spending it on in their…

A 50GB blu-ray is about 2.00, maybe less.

Wow, in the UK a gentleman would give up a seat for woman who is feeling ill even if he was 97. At 79 the man should know better than to start a fight over something so trivial.
