Is Sienna Pregnant?

by C J Davies

Soap operas are so much better when they’re conducted in real-life. Nobody wants to watch the Prozac-beckoning mundanity of Eastenders when they can read all about the antics of hair-weave heartthrob Jude Law. This week – Jude dumps Sadie! Next week – Jude gets Sienna! The week after – Jude shags nanny! It’s like Days [...]

SLACKERJACK – Cut A Pie Out Of A Man’s Guts

by 586 MEDIA

Last week we featured a game all about knee surgery. As well as being highly informative, it also illustrated just how ‘street’ surgery is with ‘the kids’ these days. Don’t believe us? Those hip Belle And Sebastian cats seem to think so. They’ve released a spiffy compilation album of all their classic old Jeepster single [...]

Mondeo man Richard Madeley and his quivering wife Judy Finnigan have been slated by TV regulatory board Ofcom for plugging products on air. While it has been established that the teatime TV pair accepted no money for such activity – outlawed under motions passed by the European Union, legal fans – the extent of product [...]

Games That Time Forgot – Road Rash

by Stuart Heritage

When you’re young, some things seem so damn cool. Like Americans. And motorbikes. And high speed chainfights. Obviously, once you grow up, these things lose their lustre a little. But for a few golden years last decade, the coolest game you could wish to be seen with was Road Rash, this week’s game that time [...]

Star Trek Scotty In Bizarre Birthplace Row

by Stuart Heritage

Usually, the summer’s a funny time for news. Not a lot actually happens, so any old rubbish gets in the papers. It’s a bit different this year, what with all the explosions and shootings. But some traditionally weird summer news has hearteningly turned up. It concerns James Doohan, the recently-deceased Star Trek actor. There are [...]

Nicole Kidman To Star In Another ‘Invasion Of The Body Snatchers’ Remake

by Stuart Heritage

It’s common practice for Hollywood to remake an old movie, but today’s news must be some kind of record. They’re audaciously planning a remake of a remake of a remake. Nicole Kidman has signed up for Invasion, the fourth version of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers in fifty years. It’s common practice for Hollywood to [...]

SLACKERJACK – Star Chemistry

by 586 MEDIA

The thing we like best about the game Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon is that Kev seems to get really cross whenever it’s mentioned. He can’t understand why it’s him that gets picked on, and not any other actors. He doesn’t understand that "Kevin Bacon" sounds a little bit like "Separation". The Star Chemistry game [...]

Blue Were Filthy Little Mimers

by Chris Laverty

We wept like little girls when this came through on the wire. Blue, the most extraordinary pop band of the last thirty years, used to mime on their records. Lee Ryan, you swine, you’ve killed the dream for all of us. Lee Ryan (CDs) used to be in Blue. He currently sits, trousers round his [...]
