Coming just a week after his Viewtiful Joe comments (see DeadMetals post), this morning on RI:SE, Iain Lee redeemed himself by saying just how great the Gamecube really is and urged people to go and buy one for just £80 with 4 games. He was saying it was unfairly underrated (not too sure it's underrated, just hasn't sold as expected), and all this was just after they'd had a go on Double Dash...

Although one thing he said was weird. He was talking about Mario and he claimed he 'played the creator of Super Mario brothers at it, and he thrashed him.' Does that mean he played Shigsy (or was it someone else). But anyway, seems a little too erm... exaggerated to be true.

Anyway, it's always nice to see people praise the Gamecube, especially after the VJ comments. And he even urged you to buy it. Those who haven't, listen to the man...

Yeah, but it gave Ricky Gervais his too.
Never mind, it wasn't really their fault...

What could you possibly have against Ricky Gervais, co-creator of one of the most innovative and funny modern-day comedies?

I'd like to have a baseball bat against him. Against his skull...

If only I were a celebrity, I could do celebrity boxing. I heard if you take the padding out of the gloves you can do some real damage :^D

Yeah, you know the 2 player game where they had to turn enemies upside down by knocking the blocks under them, then touching them to get a point? He beat him in that.
