Penguins have just made it into my 'funniest creatures' list, they are birds but cannot fly, they don't make a noise, and the smartest thing they can do is swim, so what? I was watching wallace and gromit the other day, no particular reson for this event, i was just bored and switched it on, and watched the silly little penguin wobble around and stare menacingly at Gromit the dog, I also player Silicon valley the other day, I rented it from Block busters to see if it was worth buying, as it's only £10 new and i need another RPG/Platform whatever you want to call it game, they have penguins in the game, and they are my favorite animals, the sheep are boring and bears are too dumb, but when you get the penguins you can slide fly and wobble around the worlds causing chaos.
Let me know if you have fav animals, and why you would like to see them in a game or cartoon, maybe they have already been in one, Chicken Run for example had chickens in it, quite a urprise but trust me on that one.

I saw about the penguins on Have I got news for you?

It showed the explaination The Sun gave for the penguins falling over. It was a five window comic strip, to aid the imagination of the average Sun reader, appartently.

That old post reminds me that Silicon Valley was, and still is, a great game. It's just about what everyone is complaining that most games aren't, original and funny.

I love the way that the bloke in the spaceship holds his head in despair when you lose a level and the cut scenes are hilarious. I've now found that it's got a great replay value and there are some levels that you have to visit more than once to believe what is going on!

Did you see the news a week or two back? The British military at one of our bases are having to keep an eye out for 'grounded' penguins?

Apparently, near one of our more 'polar' bases, when our aircraft fly over, the penguins are watching them travel across the sky and toppling over backwards, unable to get up again! Our ground troops have to help them out!

Only a matter of time before the Penguin chocolate bar adverts catch on, I'm sure.

Oh well, sorry for digressing...

it was about gaming grix, it's my favorite character from some games(e.g. silicon valley), well done for winning that game by the way, i read what you wrote and don't understand why you got it, fantasymeister should have had something, but if there isn't a worthy letter for one day SR should give two games(maybe)if there are two good letters(like a roll over) the next day, or keep it going until someone comes up with something outstanding, maybe anewbie maybe not. does it really matter?
