There's tension in the podcast air this week, as Jon Jordan and Peter Willington lock horns over customisable avatars (of all things).

But, it wasn't all sly comments on the side.

This week, we talked about Crytek's new gaming service GFace and how it would let me force Keith to 'drop bombs'; I delivered a - frankly - brilliant impression of a cast member from '90s UK children's show Knightmare; and we discussed why the big patent war between manufacturers is essentially meaningless.

Meanwhile, over in the What We've Been Playing Coliseum (formerly 'Fields'), I've been engrossed in Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, which you should all download right now; Peter's been combing hair in Hello Kitty Beauty Salon! (in a non-ironic way); and Keith's been getting beaten at Scramble With Friends.

Let's hope everyone's calmed down by next week's episode...

Will's obsession with gaming started off with sketching Laser Squad levels on pads of paper, but recently grew into violently shouting "Tango Down!" at random strangers on the street. He now directs that positive energy into his writing (due in no small part to a binding court order).
