Poll - Which Twitter Feed Do You Want On QTE Blog?
The new one is flash based and takes longer to load, but it displays more tweets and more options.
The old one is much quicker to load, but has fewer tweets and options.
I'll give people a few days to choose which one they prefer before finally making the decision.
If you have other suggestions, please put them in the comments and i'll look into them and see if they work with blogger.

What Have You Played This Week?
This week wasn't as productive as last week. If i'm honest I haven't really played much this week.
Unreal III – PS3 – I played some on-line Co-op which worked really well. With voice chat, working together was really easy and made some of the more annoying single player levels much more easier.
Space Invaders Extreme – 360 – I loved this game on the PSP and DS so jumped at the chance to play it on the 360 and its still good. I am a little underwhelmed, it feels less graphically intense than the PSP version but still fun and fast.
Football Manager 09 – PC – I made some changes to the data, putting Roy Keane in charge of my favourite team (just like in real Life) and started a new game with FC Bayern. Fast and fun, but the Bayern squad needed some work....and the team needs some money.
Fat Princess – PS3 – Starting to get a little bored with the map in the beta, and on more than one occasion i've just taken my worker, got the princess and won the game with no trouble. I do have a few worries with balance in this game the more I play it but that could also be because i've played it a lot and got good at it. Still one to look for.
So what has everyone been playing, anyone been more productive than I have?
