The arndale centre surely tops the league in crappy christmas displays, this year a bizarre cone with water cascading down the sides. I think it's supposed to be a tree, but why the plastic mr whippy on the top?There was one of those "360" things in Dixons. I'm far too old to be interested in (Microsoft) consoles of course but I had to look. They had some boring Call of Medal of Brothers of something WWII fps. A young child was joyously shooting his comrades in the head, which in fairness, is probably the most entertaining thing you can do with it.
I'd love to say it will change my life, I mean i hate to let all that hype go to waste, but it was a big letdown really, who cares if you can see the rivets on a stunningly recreated vintage machine gun if the stunningly recreated Nazis still go down after being shot in the knee three times? I mean progress is more than gigaflops and all that yes?
