WTF!!?

[fuse]

That Guardian article and the satire is great

For my sins though, I did try watching Skins this week and wasn't particularly opposed to it. Quite a lot of ****e, predictable, and yet still unrealistic bits, but at the same time some of the more bleak stuff was quite good. The advert they kept showing in the adverts for the podcast was much more in line with what I'd typically expect from E4 though, trying very hard to be 'cool' and falling very comfortably into the stomach-churning category.

I have just thrown a 180 at darts and there's no-one here to see it. Gutted but right excited at the same time.

Video on You Tube or it didn't happen!

(congrats)

I have a photo, I sent it to my brother who also doubted my skills. This is my first 180.

[Paulos G]

Photo? I could stick the darts in a board and take a photo! It doesn't count if it was on the DS or Wii btw. I'm with your brother.

[Kieran76]

That's it though isn't. The greatest moment of my darts playing life and no-one will ever believe me. I should have just kept my mouth shut

Mind-controlled games:

More revealed at GDC tomorrow I think....

The Emotiv headset uses a set of sensors to tune into electric signals naturally produced by the brain to detect player thoughts, feelings and expression. It connects wirelessly with all game platforms from consoles to PCs. The Emotiv headset now makes it possible for games to be controlled and influenced by the player's mind.

There's a fair bit of stuff that swirls around in my noggin'.
Not sure how comfortable I'd be having it "Expressed" on a 42 inch plasma TV. TBH.

"Oh, I see. So you are a witch dressed as a school girl who has a broomstick thats a boom stick. Cool. Why does the camera keep tilting up?"

[ChrisF]

So then, anyone else off to the, erm, wrestling in Cannock tonight?

[VR46]

Assume you're just watching and not actually taking part ?

[Kieran76]

Just been revising for my Driving Theory Test. What a strange test, some of the questions are stupidly easy, others insult your basic intelligence and some are just bizarre. Why do I do need to know the exact speed of a mobility scooter? (12 m.p.h in case you do need to know that).
