Im gonna have to get in some practise with Gears of War online! As many of you know by know Ill be getting my skull smashed between 3 and 5pm on Saturday afternoon! Just add vicbarry to your friends list!

The little oul special is nearly complete for Thursday night and make sure you wait till the very end, as you never know what might happen :) Another marathon session of GOW was put in last night when I crawled home after the show. 5am this morning I decided to turn off the 360 and Im only after making a minor dent into the game.

Lots of tear jerking stuff last night about Suicide. Its a taboo subject for alot of people with many callers last night asking for the topic to be ended. To be honest I was a little shocked with the amount of callers that had personal experience of Suicide! Lots of people out there and when 6% of the health budget goes on Suicide prevention it doesnt add up. Maybe Suicide is the wrong word, considering it has been decriminilised here and theoretically it is impossible. What sounds better, "Oh he done himself in" There is no nice way of saying it. Ill be following up on this later on!

Thats it for now, if your new to the blog have a nose through the archives. You'll never know what you might find!

The Gears have landed

I have to keep this shortish as I have very important work to attend to (ahem). Gears of War arrived at my desk last night and the show seemed to go on forever! Ive been waiting for this game for 2 years and it hasnt let me down! Got home and tore into it for 2 hours and a bit this morning. I wont bore you with stats or graphical engine data but all I can say is

Graphics, Sound, Gameplay, Xbox Live Multiplayer - Fuckin Savage!

The game looks absolutely stunning. You can say the same about many super models. But looking good is only half the deal. The game plays superb, granted it takes a good 10 minutes to get used to the cover option, but once you get it down you'll be cutting locusts in 2 like a pro! Its one of the closet cinematic experiences in a video game that Ive come across. Ive been playing video games since I was 6. From Head over Heels to Commando and everything else in between! Gears of War ranks up at the very, very top. Cliffy B and the crew at Epic must be extremely proud as being one of the first companies to really deliver a true next generation video game!

Anyway Im off back to...work...ahem!

Gears Of War

Just got an hour and halfs worth of play...all I can say so far is.....

F$%K ME

More later on....hopefully!

Emergence Day is coming! Announcement here!!!

A very later than usual update today. Last night I briefly mentioned "Anybody know what Emergence day is?". Many people responded with a few words..GEARS...OF...WAR... I replied to those who knew telling them about what will be happening on Thursday night!

What will be happening is the following! I have just recorded an interview with Cliffy B (the lead designer on Gears of War) and will be packaging up a whole piece which will run just before midnight on Thursday night! The interview with Cliffy was extremely fun! Lets just say many of you will be expanding your vocab to include "Horstashio". All shall be revealed.

I will ALSO have some copies of the most anticipated game of the year, to giveaway.

In other news, I have a brand spanking new copy of Gears of War on my desk! Roll on midnight!

For all you WWE fans

Photos from the Smackdown Vs Raw 2007 launch in Dublin! William Regal and Fit Finlay!

This made me smile!

Why stop the trend of the week so far...on this blog at least. Every other blog has being doing it for years.....

Kevin Federline is on the left, some weasel with a microphone on the right!

I wont ask about this one and neither should you. Some graduation party though!

Cameron Diaz, just doesnt have it anymore..for me anyway. In the above pic she looks like shes gonna read a few fortunes....or sell a few carpets!

Moscow apparently!

Britney Spears has filed for divorce from Weasel Federline. Who ever said this woman was stupid and brain dead was way out of line. Shes just a bit slow. She did divorce him...eventually!
Whats going to happen to K-Fed. I stand to be corrected, but I dont think they have a pre-nup, so he'll get a few million no doubt. Or will he? After all, dont pre nups start the moment you get married. Britney hasnt worked since they got married so maybe he wont get enough! I feel sorry for their kids though. They havent had a real Daddy yet and who knows when a real one will clamber into bed for daddy duties with Britney!

Air Freshners are wonderful, arent they? They disguise the smell of dog piss and shit quite well. They provide headaches for some as an added bonus. But recently enough, a new style of air freshner arrived. Im not sure when, but at least a couple of years anyway! The ones that sit on the wall on a little hook, that cant be removed without tearing down half the plaster board. The ones that take batteries. Yes, the automatic ones that take a canister of "Apple delight with a hint of burning dog" or whatever air freshner you can get into it. I wonder is it possible to get a can of Lynx into one of these yokes. Then the house could smell like "Africa"...hahaha...It wasnt really funny, but original though. Anyway, after a few weeks of these things running (we have 2) they start to sound like their dying. The wheezing and coughing out of them is just comical. It sounds like they've been smoking for 60 years and are on a death bed. Replacing the batteries would be the obivious option, but that just takes the fun out of it!

Thats my lot for today. Theres a puppy downstairs that will eat an entire table if I dont go down and feed him...and the freezer is full of chocolate cocks!
