Hmm... no mention of pwning the hazmeister in Voodoo's blog Going by the half a screenshot I can see from the pics, looks to be fairly good in the graphics department if absolutely nothing else. Get that preview put together!

Only if "Pot Noodle horn" is the most geeky/fubar/???/drunken slur for "erection" ever. If not, do tell.

Just a question about the game : in some of the vids when you run etc you see a gun in your hand, and in others you do not. In all the other Ghost Recon games you dont see the gun... so the question i pose is : do you you see your gun in this version, or not?

Hmm just a quick question... how did the paintballing go?? Considering that there is not a word on how that went... did you get your behind kicked by the dolls in real life as well

Sorry to our American cousins - that probably doesn't translate too well! I don't know if you have Pot Noodle in the States, so I'll start from the beginning:

Pot Noodle is a pretty horrid instant snack involving artificially flavoured dried noodles in a pot. You add hot water and you have a barely edible 'meal' of hot gloopy soupy kind of stuff.

They have an advertising campaign where some guy stands up in a restaurant or similar with a massive horn (of the musical variety) in his trousers, made out to look like an oh so hilarious erection, looking embarrassed. His dinner friends look horrified and one asks "Derek, have you got.... the Pot Noodle horn?!"

Hence the phrase.

Ramen isn't bad at all Of course, that advertising campaign doesn't quite compare to the nonexistant one of Ramen.

So, yes, I guess it does translate, in some bizarre sense, to "erection".

Ooo was chris there? (Ubirazzz)

Hope he played better at GRAW than he did against me on GR2!

I beat him at it and won a copy of it for the xbox at the last pre-release event
