We mustn’t laugh at ourselves.

This I find depressing. Look at that place! No-one cares. They’ve wasted money they should have put into proper advertising. Proof if proof were needed that the UK cannot – perhaps, should not – dabble in the home console arena. Designed by the guy who designed the Sinclair Spectrum, from when we were on the bleeding edge of home computer technology. Now the world has moved on and the UK has, apparently, failed to do so. Or, you know, we only have two guys – one called Clive – working on our technological frontline.

Oh, okay. Let’s laugh at the Gizmondo. I too tried to be charitable, but it looks like ass (It does! I don’t care that people are being kind, it looks like ass!), it has a stupid fucking name, it has a poor selection of games (usually with rubbish names) and no backup, it’s out of its element. It’s like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie… Look, it’s a nice idea and I wish them well. But I don’t expect them to be around in a year or two. Then again, we all laughed at the N-Gage…

I would link to the Gizmondo site. But right now it appears to be offline…
