It makes my old homemade pizzas look like someone squatted over a plate.

You have such a way with words.

Thank you! Eloquence is a lost art in today's society, is it not? I like to think I do my part to redress the balance.

Wait, wait, wait. You actually saw copies of Psychobauts AND Alien Hominid? Damn, apart from the week that Psychonauts was released, I have never seen it anywhere. I did once see a copy of Hominid in GAME's pre-owned bin, ofr a tenner. Of course, this was just about the only time in living memory I have been in a games shop and not had any money, or access to any. Needless to say, when I went back in the very next morning, there was no copy to be found.

So, yeah. Regardless of playing them or not, you were absolutely right to buy both those games.

Yeah, I think it was my collector's instinct kicking in. I was idly browsing the pre-owned '4 for £20' rack, and saw Psychonauts, which I considered getting on its own, at £8. But then I figured I'd be getting my £20 Wii deposit back, so I may as well find another 3. Hominid was a bit of a no-brainer, but the other two.. Well, I don't know why I've wanted to play Ninja Gaiden for so long, because I hated PS2 Shinobi, and it appears to be almost exactly the same (It even has an identical revenge story). Broken Sword.. well, I remember enjoying the second one, and this one got decent reviews. I think I did pretty well, in all.

The 3D Broken Swords are shit. Well, they're not that bad, but they didn't hold my attention. The 2D ones are amazing.

NOW you tell me! It doesn't matter, really. I'm probably not going to play it, ever. I've still got Silent Hill 4 and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory to play on the Xbox. And Bully!

Looks pretty.. I've never made pizza before. Mind if I ask what's in/on it?

Re: *sniff sniff* hovis February 13 2007, 07:49:38 UTC

Yes, I mind.

No I don't! Here's what I used: Sainsbury's Pizza base, Napolina tomato Bruschetta, Old El Paso Mexican Style grated cheese, red onions, red peppers, Sainsbury's tikka chicken, and some mixed herbs.

It may look like a pizza lovers dream, but did it taste good? It certainly looks good! I had a Domino's pizza the other night, I had sausage, smoked bacon, onion, green peppers, extra cheese and chilli flakes on it - it was DELICIOUS.

hovis February 13 2007, 21:07:34 UTC

Actually, yes, it tasted great! I was quite surprised. I made one today with cherry tomatoes instead of peppers, which wasn't quite as good, but still nice.

sageoa February 13 2007, 15:29:16 UTC

so all of the ingredients were prepared? does the chicken come like that or do you have to make it yourself?

hovis February 13 2007, 20:47:09 UTC

Most of them were! I got lazy with the cheese, although next time I want to get a few different kinds, and mix them. And no grated crap, either! I'm not good with chicken, though, so I bought it pre-cooked. And I don't trust the frying pans here, so I'll want to get my own before I try my hand at it. But I cut the onions and peppers myself, if that counts for anything! Sorry, my meagre cooking is probably offensive to you, but I rarely do any more than throw something in the oven, so I'm quite proud of it.
