So yeah I’m exited about Fable 2, and yeah I’m up at 1:20 in the morning, blogging about it. Yes, again, there is no guarantee that it will arrive tomorrow through my letter box. But I hope it will. I really really really want it.

So if any of you care (which is probably few) I’ll be streaming Fable 2 (hopefully) For most of Tomorrow.  Check our stream at www.ustream.tv for more details. I hope to see you all in the chat room, I’ll be answering questions and talking about Fable 2.

While I’m on the subject I’m really hoping that Fable 2 is up to what it needs to be at this stage. I really think releasing it on different days all over the world was a bad idea, with game hyped as much as this was, I really think that a single release date would have been smarter. But now the ’series of tubes’ that is the internet is dotted with people talking about bugs and Co-op issues, graphical glitches and story-length. Although I’ve done my best to avoid this, it all bleeds through. Thankfully I’ve managed to escape spoilers so far. The community at large has a greater respect for spoilers than say, the Spore community did (thank you nameless ass-clown who ruined what was at the centre of the galaxy…you ass), with separate forums for story discussions and people airing on the side of caution.

I suppose it all boils down to the old ‘gamer longing syndrome’, it’s has effected me all week. Every game I’ve played, panes in comparison to what Fable 2 could be, might be or is. Come on postman, for the love of Albion, run to my door.

So yeah My xbox died. Gotta be honest I’m a bit annoyed.  But it had been acting a bit weird for a few days. After it went red ring I went straight out and got a Elite console. I’d been Uming and Ahing about upgrading for a while And finally thought I should take the plunge,  when my old one comes back from it’s repair I’m going to sell it.

No I’m not going to make profit, but It’s an upgraded xbox for about £60 in my view.

The podcast has been in hiatus for a few weeks while we were on holiday, rest assured that tomorrow, your favorite videogame podcast will be back and that I shall be cooking the eggs.

Podcasting revolution revolutionised internet radio, could it do the same to games?

I’ve been podcasting (recording and listening) for a while now, I love the Hotspot, Arrow Pointing Down, BEAT.British (shameless plug), i love the Buzz Out Loud and I love watching video podcasts on my ipod touch.

But I own a Wii, and ofcourse I own a DS, (beautiful in black).

All those lovely rumors that bounced around about the Wii downloading demos for my DS automatically that I might be interested in. This sounds really fantastic, it could quite possibly be new evolution to portable gaming.

I can see it now. *insert drifty daydream music here*

It’s something of a mystery, midnight launches. They do strange things to nerds and gamers (please excuse the word, I know It’s blasphemy). In any other industry (other than grand opening of ikea where three people died from being trampled ), it creates mass panic. Where is the logic? Logic. OK lets use Vulcan logic:
