Remember, remember: video gaming memories that should never be forgotten

Remember, remember, the fifth of November - Image 1


Today is October 5. That means that November 5, Guy Fawkes Night, is one month away.

While we don't celebrate this day in the US (it's not even a public holiday in the United Kingdom - it's only a yearly celebration), many of us know of this day thanks to the DC Comics / Vertigo graphic novel (comic book) series V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and David Lloyd and its movie adaptation (with inimitable performances by Natalie Portman as Evey and Hugo Weaving as V).

V for Vendetta by Moore and Lloyd - Image 1Still, any "holiday" that gives people an excuse to light fireworks and go door-to-door begging for spare change sounds like something worth celebrating. So we at QJ.NET invite you to get into the spirit of things to remember, remember the 5th of November.

On the 5th of November we're going to post an article or two about video games, gadgets, technology, and general geekness - what moves us and affects us and touches us, and all the things about video gaming and technology that ought not be forgotten. Pretty much like the QuickJump QuickList articles in our Opinions & Analysis section at the front page and the other articles in the Opinions & Analysis sections of our many video game, science, and gadget blogs.

We invite you to plan ahead and consider what you want to remember on that day - because our articles obviously can't be the final word - that's what comments and the QJ.NET Forums are for. (Besides, now that we've turned off anonymous comments - and now that comments are smarter, funnier, and more meaningful - you have a good venue to share your reactions.)

We look forward to your thoughts. See you on the 5th of November.

Pity the gunpowder plot was foiled... guy fawkes was truly a great man with good intentions.

While I don't agree with his terroristic plot (and I'm trying to avoid a big debate about religion and politics and whatnot), I do smile when I hear the tongue-in-cheek statement that Guy Fawkes compared to politicians from the past and present was the only person who went into Parliament with good intentions. :P

I even liked the film (though it would have been much better if Natalie Portman wasn't in it) It's a nice idea doing a lookback day, do an article on Bullfrog and find out if EA or Peter Mollenuex are going to bring Syndicate back or not.

# How smart was this..apcarr 2007-10-05 08:11
Here's a little known fact about Guido(Guy)Fawke s and his merry bunch of men you may not know,before trying to kill the king they had to dry out the gun powder as it had got wet,

Q.so what did this little bunch of einstiens do?

A.they dried it in front of an open fire!!!which ended with several of them seriously injured although none of the would be assassins were killed...

Hardly suprising then that they were all caught and executed at The Tower of London...

I loved Syndicate. Survived many a boring lecture by imagining what would happen if I got my hands on a Persuadertron.

Yeah right, supposed to be that way in theory

but I don't see it happening.



Although it'd be nice if it were true, I'd like to

think that the posts here from now on would be

just that "smarter, funnier, and more meaningful".



Anyways, looking forward to some good gadget news.
