Cheers man, spent half the day thinking it's an elaborate wind-up but it seems real enough, i'm back in work tomorrow so hopefully will find out more then, i'll post on here when i know more.

Just took a call off my boss to say i've won a trip to Canada!

Don't know the exact details but i'll be going to see a new game in progress and apparantly i'll be put in it, just trying to find out which developer it is now, only issue is i'll be on holiday 1st August anyway so hope it doesn't clash.

So, does anyone know any Canadian games developers off the top of their heads?

Red Dead has somthing going with "be in the DLC".

Red Dead has somthing going with "be in the DLC".

I'm going to pretend you didn't say that, i'm really into red dead at the moment and the idea of being in it would be amazing, so to get my hopes up and have it not happen would be crushing!

[charlesr]

Have you been playing online? If you kill one of the devs or someone that has killed one of the devs in the first week, you get entered somehow.

This photo really surprised the hell out of me when I saw it earlier today. It's

->Open Spoiler<-

50 Cent who's lost weight and had tattoos removed

to play a footballer who's diagnosed with cancer.

I've no idea if the film will be any good but you can't fault his enthusiasm for the role and that he's also financed the film as well as writing it.

Wow! Reminds me of Christian Bale in The Machinist, if not quite so extreme. Like you say though, it shows some dedication to the role.

They'll need to move Rockstar San Diego first, surely?

[cutmymilk]

Don't know man, 50 cent was a massive guy. I read the story earlier - apparantly filming is done and he's piling the weight back on.

[JP]

What makes it more shocking for me than Christian Bale is the fact that he's managed to lose what appeared to be pure muscle. I don't know but I would have thought that was lot harder to do.

If it's that close, why can't they see exactly what it is/send a rocket up and fetch it/send a rocket up and see what it is?

Is theregister even a real source of news? In my head they're like The Onion or something, but I don't know where this impression actually came from.

It's a legit (but smart arsed) tech site.

So one minute the article says it's approaching, then towards the end says it's moving away.

Think that says all you need to know about how much credibility you should give to it.

It's almost like it flew past the earth like the diagram they drew suggested!

The Register is a legit site and does do its research but it wears its bias on its sleeve.

Anti-MS, semi anti-apple (generally negative except for when they think a PR guy is watching), skeptical of global warming (they call out hyperbole and BS in the tabloid-esque statements scientists sometimes release)

No haven't touched online yet, still doing the single player.

Still had no new details on this yet, guess i'll wait till i'm back in again on monday and pursue it then. A guy I know won another of these competitions where the prize was some limited edition electric guitar signed by Jack Black, it arrived in the post to him broken, he's gutted!
