i got myself a gamecube

[James]

first off- how bloody small is this thing!?
its dwarfed by my xbox, but has very impressive graphics.
i got it with super monkey ball. its good, but i need something to get my teeth into.
im off shopping on friday to search for a good game to keep me occupied till mario sunshine arrives.
i also get hitman 2 that day, but my mate from far down south is coming up over the weekend, so ill post my review next friday after iv had a good play.

how are you lot (jim, phil :D ) and wot u been doing lately?

[Phil]

I'm getting excited about Xbox LIVE (look at the story on the main page) and I'm re-designing Thunderbolt.

Hey well done. That puts you on 3 state of the art consoles yeah? I'm happy with my trusty PS2, but i am very lazy.

i've been getting into films alot recently (has anyone seen Wild Zero or am i the only Guitar Wolf fan west of Tokyo?) and also am doing the house buying thing (exchanging contracts any minute) , while getting a promotion at work and also kicking off gigging and songwriting with my rock band.

Busy eh?

Games have kind of taken a backseat recently, but rest assured a couple of trademark hyper-critical reviews will be coming you way soon. I'm currently hacked off with Kingdom Hearts and similarly loving Sega Tennis :)

Be good

[James]

yup, all 3 consoles!!!

xbox live is going to be massive, i think that the ps2 one wont go very well, and very few people will actually use it.

version 4 is cool! well done phil.

i got sonic 2 for gc on friday, and am currently busy writing a review for it- il check to see if theres one on the site in a mo.

anyway, hitman 2 and mario sunshine arrive for me on friday, so i wont be online very much for the rest of the year :D ; you can count out 2003 when i get me mitts on pes2 and gta vice city :P

as for work- its getting more enjoyable each day- especially after my recent pay rise.

oh- one more thing- the dvd of billy connolly's tour is availiable on amazon for 19.99- money well spent for me as this arrives in the next few days!!!

perhaps a dvd review section on the site phil? :wink:
