MICROSOFT KINECT LAUNCH MAKES US EVEN MORE ASHAMED TO BE GAMERS
‘HIT BAND’ The Wanted were there!
No, me neither, but Wikipedia says they did a song once, and they probably do other songs that Radio 1 like to play.
Leona Lewis was paid to be there as well:
You remember Leona Lewis?
She’s synonymous with all things games!
She’s so committed to the cause, that she did the theme song for one of the Final Fantasy games, 13 years after the franchise became stale.
After Microsoft stopped trying to be Nintendo, they all went backstage and played together:
Leona didn’t stay very long. Afterwards, the one on the bottom right probably made a sexually-related comment, causing the cheeky one in the middle to guffaw.
Possible new hobbies to pursue now games have gone to shit:
Darts
That’s it!
That’s all we can come up with.
Look what 25+ years gaming have done to our imagination.
We’re all doomed come 2035

Why the ARSE won’t the pictures display in the middle properly despite me telling them to do so?

The pictures being to one side totally ruined this update for me.
Why are they all singing? Shouldn’t they be jiggling around trying to convince people motion sensing games are still fun? I might have been convinced if they’d got Leona jiggling topless. Or at least convinced enough to go and find some tissues.

On the plus side, I definitely feel better about not buying a current gen console, since this is what has become of gaming. What a farce. Every time a Kinect, Wii or PS move advert comes on telly I cringe in shame and pity. Makes being a Sega fan feel positively dignified.

It should be Kinect, not Kinnect. Not that it matters. NOTHING MATTERS ANY MORE… :(
I wrote a heart-breakingly beautiful story about a man setting up his Kinect.

Spelling error noticed and rectified.
It was someone else’s fault.
It’s always someone else’s fault.

I do love playing the latest installment of Halo and Medal of Duty but gosh darn it the music of Leona Lewis really speaks to my heart. It reminds me of that time I had a girlfriend.
Whiny bitch who wears hats.
Hate hats.

Leona Lewis opened the Westfield shopping centre in Shepherd’s Bush. In other words, she’ll do anything if the money is right.
P.s. phorenzik, you’ve managed the impossible of posting updates without anyone wanting you dead, like what happened to poor, dear Swillman.

Ah the Swillman days, those were some top notch news posts.

Ah Swillman. When’s the Swillman retrospective coming? Also, I’d put a shepherd in Leona’s bush or some such thing.

Front row looks like they’d make fun of me if I was somehow in the same location during a social event. The kind of mockery that is not outright insulting but easily gets the point across. This picture made me a bit depressed. Your blog is great by the way.
