It's the amount of times you say what comes before it.  IE; I came to get down (x2) means
I came to get down, I came to get down.

Saves time writing the word 'jump' 32 times for the chorus.

I reckon it's the robot double doing the killing - it hijacked the urban myth of the House of Pain to do so, and that explains why, even though he's got a robot double doing all his public appearances, Krush still always seem to be late for stuff, or no-one seems to know where he is.  As long as this doesn't build up to a Robo-Guthrie/Evil Robot Krush showdown where Robo-Krush tells Guthrie they're the same, I'll be happy enough.
Possible twists in the tail might be that the robot double started out by killing the real Krush, or putting him in the House of Pain, and he's taken Krush's place and no-one's noticed yet.  Perhaps it thought that the rich bloke should serve the public interest in some way, or it's just looking for a purpose, since its only function is to be Krush's stand-in.
As you can plainly tell, I read too many comics, and listen to too many rubbish pseudo-Irish rap-rock bands.

Pack it up, pack it in
Let me begin
I came to win
Battle me that's a sin
I won't tear the sack up
Punk you'd better back up
Try and play the role and the whole crew will act up
Get up, stand up, come on!
Come on, throw your hands up
If you've got the feeling jump across the ceiling
Muggs is a funk fest, someone's talking junk
Yo, I'll bust em in the eye
And then I'll take the punks home
Feel it, funk it
Amps it are junking
And I got more rhymes than there's cops that are dunking Donuts shop
Sure 'nuff I got props from the kids on the Hill
Plus my mom and my pops


[Chorus]


I came to get down [2x]
So get out your seats and jump around
Jump around [3x]
Jump up Jump up and get down.
Jump [17x]
I'll serve your ass like John MacEnroe
If your girl steps up, I'm smacking the ho
Word to your moms I came to drop bombs
I got more rhymes than the bible's got psalms
And just like the Prodigal Son I've returned
Anyone stepping to me you'll get burned
Cause I got lyrics and you ain't got none
So if you come to battle bring a shotgun
But if you do you're a fool, cause I duel to the death
Try and step to me you'll take your last breath
I gots the skill, come get your fill
Cause when I shoot ta give, I shoot to kill

[Chorus]

I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
I never eat a pig cause a pig is a cop
Or better yet a terminator
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger
Try'n to play me out like as if my name was Sega
But I ain't going out like no punk bitch
Get used to one style and you know I might switch
It up up and around, then buck buck you down
Put out your head then you wake up in the Dawn of the Dead
I'm coming to get ya, coming to get ya
Spitting out lyrics homie I'll wet ya

[Chorus]

I intend to track you all down and shoot you dead, like Jay and Fat Bob did in that movie.  A nice wee world tour will do me the world of good.
The rest of you - not so much.



/shakes fist

Giant atomic bunny is actually a strip called Wildcards that appears in the pages of MangaQuake and isn't a stand-alone publication.  Mind you, it's a couple of pages longer than an American-format comicbook, so it could have been.
Wild West Wendy is wholesome christian-approved fun for boys and girls, and comes reccommended by me, as I had to letter it and got to read it as I went.
Omnivistascope, if it's presented as well as the first issue, will probably be the purchase of choice, though.

A battlecry for the ages, that.

When I was younger, my parents and brothers all smoked, and would always tear off little strips of paper from newspapers or comics to poke into the fireplace so they could light up a ciggy.

"ALIEN EDITOR GAVE MY CHILDREN THRILL-CANCER"

I considered myself a slow artist by only being able to get a single page drawn over two or three days, until I heard some of the small press horror stories.  Artists, being creative types (ie; too lazy to get a job laying bricks), need the whip of a good deadline to get them fired up, in my opinion.

As for Matt being the only editor on both titles, it's not like there's a lot of choice for editors with experience of mature readers' comics titles in the UK at the moment.
A transitory phase, no more.





And it's half full.  And a nice glass.

It's all very well to say that, but it doesn't change the fact that some of these people take it very, very seriously indeed.  My brother trolled the GamesRadar forums as a sock puppet called Flash Gordon, pretending to be an Xbox fanboy, and he actually got threats of physical harm through the private message system.  When he was finally kicked off the forum, he was glad he didn't have to deal with the rabid Sony fanboys anymore.
You might not give a monkeys what they think, but that won't stop them spamming your forums to absolute buggery if you slag off their baby.

Simultaneous release on PS3 and Xbox 360 for GTA4.

It's good that Halo 3 is finally coming out, but I don't fancy being on any gaming forums until it does.
"Halo3 for teh win" this, and "roxxors" that - it'll be unbearable.  And if it gets less than a perfect score *everywhere*, the fanboys will melt the internet around our ears.  You daren't even suggest that having these games as launch titles might have been an idea...

Ouendan's looney Jpop was what made the game so damnably playable.  I'm not enthused by the idea of a Girls Aloud version - if I'm going to have game music stuck in my head most of the day, repeating and repeating  until my brain grabs a metaphorical shotgun and makes for the local schoolyard, I'd rather not know what the lyrics mean, as it helps me think of it as maeningless noise, rather than incredibly poor songwriting.  Having said that, I've watched so much anime by now that a lot of Japanese words are starting to appear in my brain in english.  Those Japanese  sure do sing about eyes a lot.

I love my first person shooters, but I've avoided Black because much the same criticism is levelled at it - about not being able to skip cut-scenes.  There's a seven minute wait between turning on the PS2 and getting to play the game, apparantly.  I also gave up on Far Cry for the Xbox because of the ridiculous wait for the damn thing to finish it's attract demo (which you couldn't skip).
Sort of erodes the ground gained by the whole 'turn on and play' element of consoles that dragged gaming into the mainstream in the first place, really.

Ah, the whole core pack thingy.  Supposedly, I can't really complain as I paid for the full package (a bit disappointed that Oblivion didn't take full advantage of the HD, too), but it's a scummy thing to do on gamers, reducing the simple and straightforward world of casual 'turn it on and it's ready to play' console gaming into some half-arsed pc knock-off that fucks up once you update the internal o.s. - not that I'm bitter.  Just because some other company does it, that doesn't lessen the shittyness.

"seeing all the bile spewed at owners of the 360 or fans of Wii by Sony fanboys over the past 6 months"

Agree that the Wii criticism is a bit odd (except about the name, which is rubbish) since the console won't be out for a while yet, but the 360 criticism is a bit of a myth - if you've been reading gaming forums for the last few months, you'll notice that some of the more vocal 360 fanboys accuse anything that looks like criticism of their console as Sony fanboy conspiracy in action, even when the criticism is nothing more than justifiable disappointment at poor game construction and a rushed product.  I don't have a problem with the 360 per se (or I wouldn't have bought one), just the vocal - and possibly deluded - fanboyism that surrounds what is nothing more than a lump of plastic that can be fiddled with if I don't fancy staring at the wall for an hour.  The 'bile' isn't aimed at the machine - it's aimed at the fanboys.
Tip for avoiding getting dragged into 360 fanboy arguements on gaming forums - say you have a Gamecube and *nothing else*.  Say you don't like football, racing or first-person shooting games and only play Pikmin and Super Monkey Ball.
And if you don't have a Gamecube, why not?  They only cost about a fiver these days - I got mine free with a copy of Pokemon Colliseum.  Which was shit and went in the bin, but Pikmin is as close to doing drugs as you need to get without actually doing drugs.

I wasn't impressed by the 360 in general, but the wireless function is very well realised, and you can point the controller away from the machine and it'll still work perfectly.  I imagine Sony will have figured out how to make their version work just as well.
I liked the rumble function on the Dualshock controller, so that'll be missed.

'Alternative, screwed-up, freaky version of 2000ad'

Didn't Mark Millar and Grant Morrison already try that?
