I'm on the second to last chapter, and yeah its taken 2 and a half solid days of reading to get this far! There's a suprising amount of detail in some of the panels, little bits of newspaper text and stuff that helps unravel it all. Its fairly obvious stuff to anyone who knows the slightest thing about the Ripper murders and its not too much of a hair brained theory in all honesty. Some of the stuff thats in there though has taken me by suprise, the sheer graphic nature of what they've done, not just with the murders themselves but with the people connected to it all, however loosely, was a little shocking. I think my favourite section so far was Gull taking his coachman on a tour of London and teaching him about all the religious symbology within the churches and chapels and how it wasn't really Christian symbology but Druidism and Pagan, with a big fat dollop of Freemasonry thrown in for good measure.

Charly and Rach got me From Hell, Arkham Asylum, Marvel Secret War and Marvel Secret Invasion for Christmas. Reading From Hell at the moment and really enjoying it, I must of been in the minority of people who enjoyed the film, althogh I currently remember very little but I knew before reading this that the film has very little do with the book with which it shares its name (other than the subject material obviously). It's bloody heavy going though, not helped by the black and white artwork, which admittedly fits in with the tale and setting, which probably also make it harder work than a normal "comic book" would otherwise be, but thats understandable as this is more of a novel and theory rather than some fantasy story about men and women with special powers and spandex. It's also bloody massive, about the same length as an individual volume of Akira actually. Really happy with it as a gift, looking forward to reading the others too, especially Arkham Asylum. Read that that was actually painted by Dave McKean, which makes you wonder just how much an individual original page or panel would probably fetch at auction.

I thought of that, but ran around the external wall, had the map overlayed on the screen and couldn't find anything.

Unless you accidentally sold it you should have the Enemy Skill materia in your inventory, if you have more than one they may not all have Matra Magic so you'd have to check. It is a good attack for a fair amount of Disc 1 though!

I'm in the ruins after you've reached the Overlords Library, I've got the 3 keys from the portals and gone through the "Final" portal, cleared out all the enemies in that area and come to a big square dead end, am I missing something?

Sounds like Matra Magic on the Enemy Skill materia to me. Which I believe is named after this

Also, look for the normal anti-videogames bullshit from the Beeb

I wonder if that person has looked at the "careers" of other XFactor winners...

This is where any other forums resident GT fanboy (can't believe MFGamers doesn't have one) states "get a wheel". Which is where everyone who is a driving fan states, "Get a grip and try Forza, because it's sex". Well duh

This is really sad but I ended up smiling over the stupidest thing whilst playing it the other day. I was facing the wrong way on the tracks, so I had to reverse all the way back to a junction just to turn around. I have no idea why that made me smile as its a rather odd thing to enjoy, but it just gave me this really odd heartwarming feeling inside.

They certainly seem to have paid attention to criticsm aimed at Phantom Hourglass.

Diid they make up an award for each of the major games released this year or something?

Just had a brief play of the demo and reqlly quite like it. I'd recently tried to play Neverwinter Nights but that felt like it was taking itself far too seriously, this feels so much lighter in tone (whether thats down to the graphics or not I can't decide) but I now want the full game. I've read that its an introduction to the Torchlight world, hence why its a single player game, and they hope to release a free-to-play MMO in a year or so.
