How do you figure?

He said graphics won't be the thing that is advanced in the next gen, it will be interfaces (gimmicks like Move, Kinect and the U). Novelties.

He didn't once say the words "Next Gen Hinges on Gimmicks, not graphics"

Those words aren't even expressed in the article, on the page, by the writer, by the website or otherwise. The title of the article is:

Moore: Nintendo’s job is to “build a better mousetrap”


EA COO Peter Moore has dismissed suggestions the Wii U is a half-measure console, pointing to controller innovation as a better generational marker than graphics horsepower.

I know you don't like these new control interfaces and all but that title is quite heavy handed IMHO, no offence meant.

What is the rioting about? I haven't been paying attention. Don't mind me...I don't pay attention to anything that goes on over here anymore, either.

Bugsy you can sit around feeling afraid and flapping your vagina in the wind. Or you can man up, grow a penis and go outside and get yourself some free games and one of those fancy TVs. Get me one of those big TVs please and get some copies of Xenoblade.

This doesn't feel like disaffected youth taking on the police.  This is something much more sinister and organised.  Like some kind of anarchist mastermind taking on London using teenagers (who are happy enough if they get to steal a new phone, trainers, a game console and some booze) as foot soldiers.  

Oh dammit they are on to me

*runs away

Not yet, and get some batteries while you are out ' shopping'

GG and Bugs, stay safe.

Why doesn't the british government put the army out there?Even if they don't use deadly force, the view of squads of soldiers supporting the police could be a more efective deterrent to these groups of idiots.

According to the news the army is mostly overseas in Afganistan and Iraq, we don't have the troops to patrol at home. Also it would look like revolution, like in Arab countries where they put out the army against protestors. These people aren't protestors though, they're just thieves looting high street shops for trainers, rugs, tvs and mobile phones.

Problem is that they are burning many shops and here there are flats above the shops where ordinary people live. It's a miracle no one has been burned alive yet.

Check out this video, it's sick.

Shocking footage of an injured boy being mugged in the North London riots has emerged as conflict continued across the country last night.

The young man was filmed sitting on the floor dazed as he appeared to have an injury to his mouth. Surrounded by a number of youths he is helped to his feet by one, stepping carefully past a pool of his blood.


As he stood upright a man searched into the boy's backpack, snatching items from the bag. Other youths joined the mugging, grabbing anything they could find from the vulnerable victim's pack.

Check out these pics

This woman has to jump from her top flat window because the shop under it has been set on fire

Does the UK have something like the National Guard in the US?

And how come the Home Secretary rules out water cannons to deal with these riots? Bring these fuckers down!

Yeah and the water cannons have the added bonus they they can be used against the fires!

We have the Territorial Army but they are mainly a reserve force that is only called upon when needed and they are already being used in Iraq and Afganistan. What has happened is that the police over the years have become more and more sensitive when dealing with large scale public disruption like the student riots, May day riots etc. If someone gets hurt the police face accusations of brutality or heavy handedness. They developed this kettling technique which breaks up the crowd and contains them with minimal violence.

Personally I want the police to get out there and start cracking heads. They used water cannons against football hooligans and Northern Ireland unrest, use them now, hell throw in some tear gas and pepper spray.

GAF's comment on this one:

"Forget plasmas and watches, she wants crisps. From Poundland"

This is just ridiculous.
