So, did you all figure out what I was going on about with that “TSA Stig” stuff? Well, it was Jambo and myself trying to go as fast as we dared at Silverstone last week, of course.
Bet you’re kicking yourselves for not figuring that one out, aren’t you?
Last week saw Scion with about a billion pictures of his gaming mouse, whilst this week sees his partner in gaming crime, Wick, getting a chance to show off!
This guy has a pretty snazzy mouse too. I mean, you can’t top a little LCD screen showing a TSA logo can you? Inside that beastly PC of his he has a big ol’ water cooling set up going to keep those parts from AMD and Sapphire nice and cold. Oh, and if you head to the full gallery of pics here, you’ll see that his tower is also imbued with the mystical powers of the TSA sticker!
Finally, a nice picture of his shelves full of games, but he also shows off the crazy amounts of games he has attached to his Steam account in that full gallery.
If you’d like to help me out with some photos of your rig or gaming set up, just drop me a photo using the form at the bottom of this article, or get in touch with me on twitter and ask me for pointers!
Another rather quiet week as we still wait for a few more game releases to come along and sweep us off our digital feet. I’m sure everyone will be zipping around F1 tracks, feeling up Sackboy or girl levels and shooting hit points off the Borderlands inhabitants next week.
In the mean time though we have a few snippets to enjoy. Youles platinumed Cars 2 and Assassin’s Creed 2. One of these games he played with his son… He also busted his way through Dead Space Extraction with McProley as his co-op buddy. Crazy_Del must have fallen off his board many a time on his way to the THPS HD trophy, as he takes this past week quite slowly by his own standards.
Really, though, there’s mainly been a lot of demo playing. I believe quite a few people were enjoying Machinarium, which was part of PS+, a lovely little “point & click” adventure. There was also the FIFA 13 demo and the F1 2012 demo out this last week, so people have been busying themselves trying to get a handle on all the new changes. FIFA in particular seems to be a kind of marmite experience this time around. Maybe PES suits you better?
To round us out, though, we have two changes on the fastest leaderboard. Bambo_19 polished off Lego Batman 2 on PS Vita before anyone else, but this pales in comparison to Samiro05, who hits the milestone of his 50th Platinum with Port Royale 3. Before anyone else.
In. The. World.
Well that’s he’s claiming anyway. If true, then that is totally epic, and big congratulations are in order for that one!
Last week’s poll ended in a tie between Solid Steven finally being funny for once and Awayze’s deep look into the female psyche. Just so that Steven doesn’t get overly confident, I’m handing the deciding vote to Awayze. Although… How he knows so much about 10 year old girls is kind of worrying…
Before we dwell on that thought for too long lets head over to the new new poll. I do have a particular favourite, personally, but even though you’ll be able to guess I’ll not make it too explicit.
Off the back of the inevitable Nintendo-Apple comparison with the Wii U announcements this week, Tanzil puts text speak to good use, whilst Bunimomike shows his true colours, the arrogant bugger!
JesseDeya breaks out the euphemisms whilst talking about Tuffcub’s prowess with his… column…
Colmshan and bmg_123 discuss whether LBP Vita levels might possibly be accepted for A-level art? Lets not get this whole “Games as Art” argument blowing up again, please.
Finally, a particular moustachioed pair of brothers makes a surprise appearance in the Half Life remake mode, Black Mesa… No, not those brothers, the other ones!
Get those votes in, and I’ll see you all next week. I leave you with the usual submission form:

Great looking gaming PC there, and a neat collection of games, but what’s with the grubby fingered Vita. :P
Well done Samiro getting your 50th plat, I had that accolade last month, but to do it in such style being first in the world with a platinum is a great achievement ;)
Had to vote for Nelso……Tuffcubs column!

I have a habit of eating and gaming at the same time. I end up getting grubby finger prints over everything :P

In that case all is forgiven!
I actually thought that it was a PSP at first glance, until I noticed the second analog stick. :P

The F1 2012 demo was a bit of a con, not allowing any car set-up. The wheel could be set up and used to a decent standard with a few setting tweaks, but to get a realistic and more comfortable handling feel I need to be able to set the car up as well to combat some of that bloody understeer.
Still, I am impressed and looking forward to the full game release!

I was surprised to see myself in this!
I swear that gaming PC came straight out of my dreams. Seriously, wow!
