I shouldn't have to open with this again but another excellent face of Gamespot has announced their leaving this week. On Febuary 4th Ryan Davis announced that for various reasons, including the firing of Jeff he would be leaving and the 14th will be his final day on the site, it's another sad moment seeing such an excellent man go but that seems to be the way of Gamespot. Good thing Joystiq is reporting this stuff or we might never know, of course I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up reporting the departure of further staff at this point... Not surprisingly I still have no wish to re-activate my subscription.

Now on to me personally. I've completed Undertow and it was good, not great, just good. Still working away at Advance Wars: Dark Conflict and that's really cool but my yearning for Burnout Paradise is steadily growing. I've broken into hard mode in GH3 and I've been playing more Halo 3 but this week my brother has been hogging the Xbox and I don't like playing alongside him because however nice you are to him he's always a jerk.

Anyway DICE '08 has been pretty cool this year, nothing too shocking but still a sweet event. I'd also like to give you the next part of the little story about my friend Mirco whose Xbox broke as I told you in my last blog. Well he got it back and he doubted they'd even actually repaired it, but plugged it in and started playing CoD4, the machine was rattling loudly and in 3-4 hours it broke down, displaying 3 red lights. Microsoft have said that they'll actually exchange it for a working model this time, but that hasn't stopped them from causing problems in the mean time though with truely idiotic tech support staff. Good luck to Mirco with that one.

Thanks for reading once again and to Mars188 and Fishdalf for commenting on my blog. I'd also like to give zxv33 a shoutout for her enlightening "10 things I hate that my customers do". This week I'll also leave you with the humourous 'Day in the Life of a Turret' from Smooth Few Films (WARNING: Contains strong language). Peace out.
