So, with Wardrox being whisked away due to some unknown emergency, nobody is left to host Euro FNF this week. Well, I'll step up, and even though I'm no Euro, I think I can handle it... maybe. There is however, a chance that A) Wardrox will somehow be back or B) Has already got someone to do this shit, in which case, totally ignore this post.
Anyway, I have no idea what we're going to be playing, and I only have CoD4s, Haloz and my shiny new Rainbow Six Vegas 2 to play, so if I'm going to be host, then it's between them. Post what you want in the comments, and majority rules. If anyone wants to play something else, feel free to post in here, with the fact you'd like to host it, and I'll add it into this post.
So, games will start at 10PM GMT (I think that's normal) and run till late. If you want in, post your gamertag here, or send me a message over Xbox Live after 10PM, my gamertag is MaccaHacker.

After reading Alex's latest FNF recap, it became clear alot of people are alienated by the newer Halo 3 maps, who has the and who doesn't. It seems like there are a few people who would like to jump in, but can't due to this factor.
So, for next week, why not have a schedule? I know it sounds all organized and shit, but if it helps the night run better, and more people enjoy themselves, I'm up for it. Would be pretty simple. For instance, play Normal Maps Customs from 4 - 7, DLC Customs from 7 - 8.30, then jump back into normal ranked matchmaking. This way, people who want to play can, and we don't feel as bad when we have to kick them. It also means, with them all getting split up at the same time, they can go and create their own party, which can keep on truckin.
Anyway, just an idea? Thoughts?

It's up on the Xbox Live Marketplace, not so sure about the PSN at the moment.
First impressions:
It's fucking brilliant.
Graphically, the city you're racing in is really really great looking, and the cars look nice to boot. The game is running at 60FPS, so it's so smooth you could uh... (insert smooth metaphor here). The sound is also really good, with the cars sounding as they should and with a DJ guiding you as to what to do. I played a little bit of online, it seemed solid, there was no apparent lag for me. I didn't try a race however, I'll report back when I do.
The one thing that blew me away however, was the amazing sense of speed. This comes through the framerate, and the motion blur that occurs. It's mind boggling as to how fast you are going. Definitely download this and give it a try.
Crashes look pretty damn good, but the crash cam can get annoying... and it's unskippable. One major flaw I found was the inability to restart races. This means you have to spend a minute or two driving back to the start of the race. This is pretty unacceptable.
Weighs in at 800MB or so.

I was just reading 1up's coverage of Street Fighter IV, and noticed this in their sidebar:
15th June 08? That seems like a very specific date, think there's something they're not telling us? The only thing that I could think of as a reason for using this date, is that there's 30 days in a month, so half that is 15, and there's 12 months in a year, half that is 6. But, halfway through the year is around the 30th June/1st July. Interesting huh?

Well, I just got done playing Halo 3 with a bunch of Dtoid guys, and it was really really great. Apart from the odd shitty game type, it was really fun. To any of you lurkers thinking about playing, do it. It's great.
Oh, apart from a little unsporting conduct from a certain editor :D
Haha, few milliseconds earlier and I would've had you CTZ.

Well, this is for the 3 people that still have the thing, might need to clear off the dust. Instead of studying for my exams, I decided to start something much more important. I quickly threw together some icons and a background, and think it looks decent.
I plan on releasing this sometime next week, finishing it up over the weekend. I'll probably convert it for PS3 use before the 30th too. Just wondering, would anyone be interested in a full mod for the PSP, with pretty much all new fonts, colours, icon positions and such? It'd be only for those who use homebrew, but I think I could whip up something quite nice.
EDIT: Oh fuck, just realised I haven't fixed the text positions. My bad, I'll do it tomorrow >_>
