I know I was so gutted, even though I would'nt have the money for it (I would love to have a few G&W in my collection, so bad ass) I just couldnt get over how they sell it as a collectors item with a box, but the box is damaged by them.

Couple more articles added, latest one is my quick take on the current Activision situation.

I am also currently doing some tweaks to the template, looking a bit nicer, also got a slightly modified banner going up tomorrow as its on my uni computer.

I completely agree with your stance on the Activision stuff. IMO, they are digging their own grave by destroying all of their own franchises.

Also, I dig the new design. Although its not drastic, it does make things look a bit more professional. :)

Just letting everyone know that JFE2 has joined on and will be writing / reviewing for The Old Bits, anyone who has read his stuff knows he is really talented.

Also in the mix of getting hold of a capture card, we should be posting up video content in the upcoming weeks.

Also started work on a basic site that will go side by side with the blog.

Other than that stuff is pretty slow, but wanted to let people know that JFE2 is on board.
