That guy's a Maniac...

Well, after several false starts and some setbacks, hitches, spanners in the works and delays the PS3 finally landed over in Japan. Even the bloody Times had a two page spread on next-gen consoles, hilariously giving the PS3 4/5 for hardware and 3/5 for software where as the poor old 360 received 3/5 for hardware and 3/5 for software. We got our PS3 on the weekend and boy oh boy is it mediocre. After one hour Richie managed to crash it and after three hours we ended up playing Micro Maniacs on the PS2 because the multitap doesn't work on the PS3. MotorStorm is alright but the lack of any real games at the moment makes it the most expensive chunk of stuff in the house. Seriously kids wait until something comes out for it. In other news... I got my Brain Age down to 20!-Flying planes in GTA San Andreas voted "hard" by TGAM blogger Cunzy1 1-Next Resident Evil film to be set on Mars and have genetic mutants instead of zombies-Chuff_72's bid to complete PS version

Hi all! As you may have noticed there are some changes happening to the Thatguys.co.uk website. And since we appreciate the reader, and the reader’s opinions/approval/acceptance of us, as it makes us feel safe/like-the-cool-kids-in-school/horny , we openly are willing to listen (ignore) your suggestions for the site. Please leave a comment in this post, if you don’t then it means you like man-cock. (If the internet reaches everyone, and I don’t get 6.5 billion comments minus the gay population, than that means everyone in the world is gay, It’s a new thatguys record…)

So I recently bought Kingdom hearts 2, and after trying to overcome a few issues I had with abundant cut scenes and lack of fighting, I hit the middle of the game. And therein lies its greatness not only was I presented with some good cutscenes (finally) of par example Cloud and Squall (Leon) back to back fighting thousands of bad guys and having a bit of banter! It also presented me with shit loads of fighting, par example Kill 1000 enemies with out dying (wnak). Admittedly I am now at a bit of a loss as I have to re-visit all of the past worlds, and I fear that the damn game is gonna get annoying again… anyways fingers crossed for some Sephiroth action. Quote from Fanboy#9 Overall I give it 2/10 because I cant get past the Disney characters. P.S. Some Twat didnt like this game...

He woke with a jolt. Boy was that a weird dream; maths, driving in circles, a zombie house. The dreams seemed so vivid, so real. Cunzy1 1 got up from the bed and felt all of his joints click. How long was I asleep? He went downstairs; the TV was showing the highlights of the football match he had seen was on the night before. He turned the TV off and went outside. Immediately, he saw that his mailbox was full. Odd, he thought to himself as 10 letters were wedged in the relatively small letterbox. Whilst examining the envelopes he became slowly aware that something was wrong. As the letters dropped to the floor Cunzy1 1 felt a cold shiver take over his body. Overnight, it seemed the whole town had been struck with autumn. The beautiful greens that had bathed Gaylando only last night had turned brown and orange. No, it was more than that. He walked up to one of the apple trees and touched the bark. Oh god. A sick feeling rose up from his stomach. This fully grown tree was one that he had

Following on from this post because there is fuck all else going on (and we are still waiting for that call from the UK:R ladies) we realise that symbolism in videogames is very important. Many normal (=stupid) people think that playing computer games is geeky, a waste of time and stupid! But they just don't get it. Videogames, through the power of symbolism, teach us important lessons in life and remind us of some of the lessons we could learn from history. Sometimes these lessons go beyond even the unquestionable deepness of the original Matrix film. 1) Sonic 2 and WW2. This is one of the classic symbolic games of our time. Sonic, a japanese game , which features checkpoints with stars (= Jewish ). Thus, Sonic 2 is about the Japanese experience in the second world war. How Japan (Sonic) with the aid of the Jews (Checkpoints) tried to defeat the German's (Dr.Robotnik). 2) Katamari Demitri This is symbolic of the " struggle of cancer ". The little green man and the

Yeah! Thatguys is 6 months old. If only we were a webcomic then we'd have an excuse to post a picture of our lead female dressed like a slut. Of course it may not be cause to celebrate. There was no site for the whole of September and half of the stuff we put up was inane. Some would argue the other half was also inane but what the fick do they know?
