The Scotland stuff from Boyle each week is amazing - still he was really on fire this week. Another panel show worth looking up is Would I Lie To You. The new series has been consistently brilliant.

So... was that a baroque Nothing Else Matters at the end, or did Metallica steal some Ukrainian melody?

no, she stole Apotaliptica's version of Metallica's nothing else matters.
i wonder how many people in the audience knew the context of this song..more than just a pretty melody.


Wtf?


Beautiful video! Beats that Susan Boyle crap any day.

I watched my brother play this game and my biggest gripe was his voice. He's a bike courier. Why does every modern male game lead have to have the stupid gravelly Wolverine/duke/halo voice?


Sounds more "Wannabe Solid Snake" to me. It's a good game, I actually started off hating it. I couldn't stand his voice, the fact that you could climb EVERY building actually got to me, because most of the time you're climbing something that you know wouldn't be there in real life (Generally places don't have exterior pipes), and you can basically make it up anywhere no matter what by spamming X and hoping for the best.

It's a good enough system, but I dislike it, I prefer Assassins creed more. My other gripe is that I got insanely lucky with the first "Mission" of saving the food and it immidiately set me to Hard difficulty and the game then proceeded to kick my ass.

The Reapers have what look to be AK-47's, but have a 99.9% accuracy rating, essentially meaning if you poke your head out to zap someone and there's more then 3 of them there, you're either dead or graying out.

However, with more power unlocks and a tad more understanding of the game it does get more fun, it's just a shame that it took me 3+ hours to reach that point.

Let's see what your voice sounds like after being forced to drain thousands of human souls, and then getting electrocuted.

I bet you'd drop an octave or two.

Why do I get the feeling this isn't the last time I'll be hearing about her meaningless exploits?

I need someone to design a Boyle-Blocker addon to my browser to detect and remove any text which includes her name in it...

1. I once played in a Jazz band with Bruce Johnstone.
2. I used to be a trance DJ... I still have my decks and a crate of vinyl.
3. My first rave was Hullabaloo.
4. I've never broken a bone or needed a stitch.
5. I have a tatoo. Yes, they hurt.
6. In college, I ran the radio station.
7. I was only ever in two car accidents... they were both on the same day.
8. I got pulled over at 12:15am, January 1st, 2000.

12. I love caving.
13. I love golfing.
14. Little things don't annoy me.

If I hear more about Susan Boyle, I'm gonna puke my balls out of my mouth.

Sorry, this guy does an adequate job at a beautiful song (I also hate the vocal wobble, though I've heard worse). It's a great story about overcoming stage fright to share your talent, but it doesn't quite compare to Susan Boyle, and it's nothing compared to the original breakout singer on Britain's Got Talent, Paul Potts: http://www.videosift.com/video/A-Cell-Phone-Salesman-Sings-Opera-Nessun-Dorma

Your video, Susan Boyle Mania - Charlie Brooker, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

That pixelation effect was a bit lame. You can TOTALLY recognize Susan Boyle.

Can I call bullshit on this? Can we all stop being so fucking patronizing? It's great that the guy has not given up on life, but I think it's fucking lame to ask everyone in the world to buy into the "polite lie" that he actually belongs in a ring with able-bodied fighters.

I would run up and kick him in his fucking face.

This is as offensive to me as everyone making a big deal out of Susan Boyle. Yes, she can sing well. If she was young good looking nobody would make a big fucking deal out of it. This is what I call political correctness run amok.

Definitely big improvement from Paul Potts.
Goddamn I still can't get over the fact that he was considered 'good'.


Whoa there.
