Submitted by Phreaky on Sunday, 19 April 20092 Comments
It’s that time of the week once again where we delve into the tuneful tweets floating about the interwebs.
Brodiesan is a fan of BZB, the new chat feature censorship gets… weird and we praise the lord of sensible currency conversion. Confused? So were we for a while…
- [br] I’m pretty sure I’ve played enough of Burn Zombie Burn! to review it. Problem: writing about it means I’ll have to stop playing it!
# - @Nymo [br] Did you drink some fizzy lifting drinks?
Classic film. Wilder at his best. in reply to Nymo # - @djhsecondnature [br] You’re not on your own. *chugs*
in reply to djhsecondnature # - @Capcom_Unity [br] PS3Attiude.Brodiesan.babyCount == 0; I do have a dog though. And she’s more demanding than ANY child. in reply to Capcom_Unity #
- [br] “Why the PSP failed.” “Why OnLive will FAIL.” God, I detest these types of articles. How about: “Why Games Journalism is failing”? #
- [br] You know it’s a good game when you’ve played it a good deal so you can write a comprehensive review … and then you keep on playing it #
- [br] Words you are not allowed use across the new PS3 chat feature. “Fallout” (becomes *****ut) and “engine” (becomes *****e). What the … #
- @colossalblue There’s a list of “bizarre” words being documented. I can understand Jesus and Hitler. But what if you’re a Simon or Peter? in reply to colossalblue #
- @coverton [br] “To the Fallout Engineâ„¢ Comrades! For tonight we drink Capitalist blood!”
Another bizarre banned word: “Connection”. in reply to coverton # - My money’s on the gorilla: http://plinky.com/links/Kf8 #gorillavshyenas #
- @AAron_Molloy Not really, since in the UK we get unlimited broadband for £10/$15 a month… sorry! in reply to AAron_Molloy #
- If you’re one of our US followers, and want 773 free MP3 files from Amazon, follow this link – http://is.gd/saCt – they’re not all crap…! #
- @cc_starr Indeed – in fact, there’s a whole bunch of good stuff there for free. Of course, you could just use Spotify instead… in reply to cc_starr #
- RT @Platform_Nation: [br] Killzone 2 DLC Not Free: The once thought free map pack for Killzone 2 is not free. http://tinyurl.com/d2c7q9 #
- [br] Updated our post that stated the Killzone 2 DLC map-pack will be free. Tweakers got their wires crossed apparently. Sorry folks!
# - @WesPhillips If only the rest of the family would take his lead, we could be rid of them all…
in reply to WesPhillips # - Future publishing are sending out the missing @OPM_UKÂ page via email now. As expected, it contains nothing SE would want to quash. #
- Why aren’t there Sackboys on the shelves of GAME, and even Clinton Cards? It works for Toro… http://twitpic.com/3bj9w #
- [br] G’night Twitterland. Our East Coast team will now be handling the night-shift. This is PS3 Attitude (Europe) signing out. #
- [br] Anyone focusing on the “TBA” part on the PS blog for the KZ2 pack and wishing it might still mean free. Nope. Confirmed. Moving on … #
- @SpellOfPlay [br] Fresh coffee FTW! Just had two large cups of lavazza. About to run through a few walls now. in reply to SpellOfPlay #
- @colossalblue @cc_starr You bet. If we find anything else out about the card, we’ll let you know – keep your eye on the post for updates… in reply to colossalblue #
- [br] Thanks to Jim at Doublesix for such a great response to our proddings. Great when someone responds in detail. http://tinyurl.com/cgkc8h #
- @cc_starr [br] I watched it FOUR times. I couldn’t believe it. I’m still in shock. I’m going to have to sit down. in reply to cc_starr #
- @cc_starr Enjoy that. We hear Suzi Perry likes a good double en tendre. Give her one for us, won’t you? in reply to cc_starr #
- @born4thesurf Except if we all drove electric cars, we’d be in a worse energy position than now. Hydrogen hybrids are the only answer… in reply to born4thesurf #
- @byronicman @Carlybyron That’s no excuse…
We use PlayTV with a ‘powered’ desktop aerial (£10 from Currys) and it is perfect…
in reply to byronicman # - @wolfiezero [br] A quick consensus around PS3A and it looks like every one of us are pumped more for Versus than 13. in reply to wolfiezero #
- @wolfiezero Know what you mean. For me, just the first 53 seconds sells it – nothing else needed! in reply to wolfiezero #
- Now that I fixed the dialog box problem, I’m totally sold on #BumpTop – getting the Pro version in a few… #

- @INFECTEDPB503 If only CNN showed their wife’s backside on their feed, they’d probably pull out a decent lead on him… in reply to INFECTEDPB503 #
- [br] Got an official “no comment” from a studio regarding a game no one knows much about other than the fact it exists. I’ll keep trying … #
- [br] Really need to get my hands on “Close Range”!!! It’s just so open-ended!

# - @nickchester [br] The all important question … which season? in reply to nickchester #
- [br] Wow. The Beatles: Rock Band to cost £179.00 in the UK and €199.00 in Europe. Finally, we’re seeing some sense with £/€ conversions. #
- [br] Red Faction demo initial impressions (as in, literally only 15 minutes in) – this is real good. Can’t wait to get more in to it. #

in reply to Person678 # - @Person678Â [br] No problem. PS3Â Attitude have multiple writers from across the globe so when I, “Brodiesan” twitter, I prefix with [br]
in reply to Person678 # - @BenParfitt [br] Two *is* different but very good. Three and four are sublime. Five is, well, a bit of a let down. Still good though #wire in reply to BenParfitt #
