GRiD and the Expo and Sparks
Jim Sterling | 4:59 PM on 05.23.2008 11 comments


Oi cunts,

I've had some questioning as to where my skank ho ass has been these past two days. I've actually been up in grim, dirty, Lancashire-hotpot-eating Northern Northland with Mr. Wardrox, to check out the review code for GRiD. Unfortunately I can't talk about it yet because of an embargo, and HEAVEN FUCKING FORBID we make IGN angry. Stay tuned on Monday though for the official Destructoid word on this gorgeous looking racing game.

It's a devastatingly busy week in Sterling Towers. On Wednesday I went to see Sparks performing in Islington. If you don't know Sparks, they're a band that has been going since the sixties and never stopped, evolving from a glam rock band to techno forefathers to abstract musical artists. Amazing group. They're currently performing an entire album a night -- that's over 350 songs for the whole tour. Here's a video of their greatness:



Now THAT is rock n' roll!

Thursday was spent on a five hour coach ride to Manchester to see all the thieves and strays. Wardrox lives with a complete arsehole. Friday was GRiD, which I can't talk about, and tomorrow is the day I'm looking forward to, because even though it's not that good an event, it's still fun. I shall be attending the Expo, so any Dtoiders who are planning to go to the Excel Center tomorrow, be on the lookout for a fat man in a monocle -- I think I will be the only one matching that description.

Let's face it, all the other shitmunchers there will be dressed like fucking Naruto.

ALSO (cocks):

I received confirmation of a very special event which I may or may not be able to talk about right now, so I'll be stealthy: Let's say it involves animals that may or may not be filled with candy on a system that may or may not be held in one's hands. Eep!

Stay tuned to Dtoid for all the offbeat shenanigans that will ensue from all this rubbish.

I never realized I had this involuntary jerk I make when I'm pissed off until last years Comic-con and everytime I saw a Naruto cosplayer I would spaz out. Now whenever somebody even mentions Naruto cosplay I do it.

If I meet up with Dtoiders at the SDComic-con I suggest you keep a look out for that.

Hey Jim, they must have the greatest pot on the planet in the UK, because Northern Lights isn't making that any better...UGH!

As for the end stealth bit...When is Raving Rabbids in Candyland comming to the PSP?

I would also like to add 2 things...

First...Anything that has Oi Cunts as the first 2 words will never, ever fail.

Secondly...Cocks...and Faux Hawks...

You know, I downloaded the GRID demo, but haven’t tried it yet. Perhaps I should do so, so I, too, can break embargo!

The vehicle controls in Grid are bad.

I can't say I'm a GRID fan either...I played the demo a bit...All I know is I want another fucking DiRT! The only bad thing about DiRT was the stupid buggy and truck races. I need me a great rally game...Why no RSC3? (I can't believe I'm going to say this) Why no Need For Speed: V-Rally 2? There are enough 'track' racers out there...Not nearly enough rally games. I really wish they would put a follow up out for RSC2...Thanks Jim, now I'm fucking depressed...But the cunt thing was great...
