    Anyone see it?

    Breaking my illness dotage to inform you.

    Apparently some people are tying fighting games into the London riots... er no.

    They have an interview with some random dude who dresses up as Dan apparently :D

    Damn. That would have been a prime launcher for the community.
    I'm going to email them and see if they'll do some sort of follow up about SF.ie

    Well, after a bit of FB stalking, we have discovered that both the people interviewed in the article are English, and live in England. Hence, why there's no mention of a SF Ireland community - the article was clearly lifted straight from one of the English editions of the Metro. Noice work there >_>

    I gathered that both of those guys were English. They mentioned this weird word 'arcades'.
    But yar, I'm still gonna pester them :pac:

    Pfft, what's with all the positivity and promoting the community?

    What about the negative angle on this that the metro article references?

    That guy from Oasis blames the riots on videogames.

    And Supernanny agrees with him.

    Yeah screw those guys, lets riot!

    Kids in gangs are carrying guns and knives because they feel no threat from our bobbies.

    Bobbies need to start using the naughty step.

    That's an amazingly balanced article considering some of the drivel I've seen spouted in the last couple of weeks.

    Good luck with the Metro. I never got a response when I tried to get in touch with them previously.
