I forgot to mention this when he told me, but cousin Iain is finally going to be working for a living. After several hard years training he qualified as a nurse a month or so ago, and has just accepted a job offer with West Mid hospital down in south west London.
Yay for Iain! – I’m dead pleased for him… especially if he buys my spare PS2 off of me with his first pay cheque… I could do with the cash after going a little crazy at CostCo the other day.
Fuck Acclaim!
Screw them into the ground and all the way to hell.
Ahhh. That feels a little better. Having just bought Headhunter and re-discovering the foul taste left in my mouth by their piss poor port of Crazy Taxi for the PS2, I cannot believe they get away with this sort of shit time and again. Is anyone at Sega even remotely interested in saving this once proud brand?
Ten years ago, seeing the Sega logo on an arcade machine meant it was probably going to be well worth your coinage for a play. Now, seeing Sega on a PS2 title just means it will be another absolutely piss port by the talentless wankers over at Acclaim.
I make no apology for coming across strongly here – I have been stung twice now – three times if you count the rush job that was Burnout. So I’m wondering what Acclaim are all about.
Are they single handedly trying to destroy the name of Sega? Are they just intent on producing shoddy product for a quick buck?
Well, I hope I never find out. To follow the promise I made never, ever to buy another EA F1 game, I will never, ever buy another game written or ported by the talentless gits at Acclaim who have already had far, far too much of my money.
This is the kind of thing that reminds me that the internet is unlike any other communications medium we’ve ever known. Confusing a shock rock band with a knitting and crochet guild is the kind of thing that can only happen where nobody knows you’re a dog.
What I find even more cool about the above linked story, is that it shows that the BBC news team don’t necessarily take themselves too seriously – a very good thing.
