Torch it! Torch it good!
You're not going to believe this, folks.
Here's some stills from last night's episode of Torchwood, the BBC sci-fi drama series and Doctor Who spin-off.
Here is an ill child hiding in a hospital toilet. Is that a Sony PSP he's playing on?
Now he's skulking through a deserted ward. But wait! The PSP screen is a familiar blue. Surely not...?
ZOMFG!!! as the kids say. It's a bloody POP Station! With the arm-throwing game we all know and fear, 'Street Fighter'.
Is this a little in-joke amongst the BBC props department? Or have things got so bad that their budget won't stretch to a PSP? We will never know.
Many thanks to eagle-eyed viewer Daniel Thomas who sent me the heads-up for this.

An exciting meal has been ruined by the presence of this...
I've already had e-mails from people wanting to buy a clearly fake action figure.
I don't know why the video quality is so low - I used the same settings as always. I'll try a different format next time.
As an added bonus-y thing, here's the Liquid Filth song on it's own in higher quality!
I might sort out an mp3 download for the extras page later.

I am not Lovejoy
Look out, it's me talking into the camera.
Try not to notice how I get the movies 'Rebel Without a Cause' and 'The Wild One' mixed up...

Cartridge Clarification
I've been getting a lot of mail saying I should try to put a Gameboy Advance cartridge into the Vii, as they are the same format. NOT POSSIBLE!
They're not actually the same format. In the video I refer to the Vii VC-1 cartridge as a "Mini GBA cartridge" - this is because it's physically smaller than GBA games.
So, as you can see, I can't plug a GBA cart into the Vii. Or vice versa.

Veni et Vidi Vii
Chintendo Vii review! Woo! I mean, Voo!
Since procuring the dreaded Vii incurred a HARSH FINANCIAL PENALTY, I've used it to the max by putting together a further review of the "VC-1" games cartridge that came with it:
And that's not all! In the unlikely event that you're not thoroughly sick of my voice by now, there's even some unused footage!
These two videos are available at my new 'DVD Extras' style thing, extras.ashens.com.
Now, what to do with the Vii? I usually keep the things I review, but this was just too damned expensive. If you're interested in buying it for some reason - e-mail me. Perhaps I can set up a silent auction, or even a Chinese auction. Or something.

Before I forget
Two quick things whilst the Vii review uploads:
1. I've SOLD OUT of Neo Double Games. I got all of the wholesaler's stock so there will probably not be any more ever. SAD FACE :(
2. I've put a little donation button on the right of the page. I feel a bit funny about taking people's money without providing anything directly, but the bloody Vii was so expensive that I'm willing to overlook that...
