Guff About Video Games – Special “Let’s Ignore E3″ Edition

by Ian Dransfield

It’s E3 this week in LA, and we have our intrepid reporter Dave over there covering everything in his periodic updates. What this means is there’s little else going on in the gaming world and it’s hard for us to think of much else to cover. So why not just go read Dave’s E3 columns [...]

Megan Fox Shocks on the Box With Her New Locks

by Ian Dransfield

Granted, this isn’t the biggest or best celebrity story you’re ever going to see, but who cares when it features Megan Fox and has that headline? It can’t come as any major surprise to the ‘star’ of such ‘entertainment’ ‘classics’ as Transformers that she’s been slagged off by some in the media once more – [...]

Bruno Lands in Eminem’s Lap: People Are Shocked It’s Staged

by Ian Dransfield

The MTV Movie Awards are fertile ground for hecklerspray-baiting tosh to do the rounds, though sometimes it is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel. From extreme close range. With a bazooka. Nevertheless, the tween ceremony which has produced an average of one genuine laugh per every three years – not a bad statistic [...]

Guff About Videogames: Heather Mills Is Bionic Commando

by Ian Dransfield

It’s happened before and it will happen again – stories that are simply too good, that write themselves and just don’t need any additional comment to make them funny. Obviously that won’t stop us from commenting on them, as we’re nice like that. This week came the particularly special news that ex-Beatle-ex and hecklerspray mainstay [...]

by Ian Dransfield

It’s getting to summertime now, so there really isn’t much going on in the world of gaming – some previews here, some other things there and a lot of press gumph everywhere else.

That won’t stop us from finding fault in the few news nuggets that are plopped out, though.

Guff About Videogames: Pointless Rumour Edition

by Ian Dransfield

What would videogames be without rumours? Probably pretty much the same as always, to be honest. Except we would miss out on about 78% of the news reported on gaming, discussion would decrease by around 39% and overall excitement levels would generally dissipate to around 13.645% of their original level. Frankly, rumours are what make [...]

Guff About Videogames: Six Days In Fallujah

by Ian Dransfield

Owing to spectacular speculative reactions from reactionary types in a typical fashion, Konami have decided to pull their support for the upcoming Six Days in Fallujah, currently being developed by Atomic Games. One more tally mark for the column entitled ‘things that we expected to happen, but kind of hoped wouldn’t as it’s a bit [...]

Guff About Videogames: GTA Fail? Pirates?

by Ian Dransfield

We all know the PC and Nintendo DS are viable gaming formats full to the brim of fantastic, must-play titles and owned by the hardest of the hardcore. What’s also true is the fact that these formats are blighted by their owners, who all seem to be pirates or idiots that don’t actually play real [...]

Guff About Videogames: Relentless Stupidity Edition

by Ian Dransfield

It’s difficult to think of awards to give for the dumbest gaming stories to come out of the news in a week, seeing as there are so damn many. While we think we managed to get through a week without any stories on how gaming is going to destroy us all, there are still the [...]
