DUBIOUS ADVICE OF THE WEEK
Bill on Alphas is thinking about becoming a dad despite the fact he’s no spring chicken, but we’re not sure that book he ordered off the internet is going to be much use. After all, would you trust a book called It’s Never Too Late: Becoming A Father when, looking at the author photo on the back, it appears to have been written by an 18-year-old.

CRITIC OF THE WEEK
Not impressed with the trailer for Hellraiser: Revelations ? Nope, neither is Hellraiser creator Clive Barker: “I want to put on the record that the flick out there using the word Hellraiser IS NO F**KING CHILD OF MINE! I have nothing to do with the f**king thing. If they claim it’s from the mind of Clive Barker it’s a lie. It’s not even from my butt-hole.”

FASHION VICTIMS OF THE WEEK
Now you can be geeky and cool (and penniless if you want the coat) at the same time. Fancy wearing some game-inspired-clothing that’s so subtle in its branding, you’d be hard-pressed to know what game it came from? Then the Deus Ex line is the line for you. It all seems a bit mystifyingly pointless to us.
