Those of you who have had a read of my Burnout Paradise Cagney update impressions will have noted that I used some scrawled A4 notes to round off the article, namely by printing "THIS IS AWESOME!!" in the sketchy mess I like to call my handwriting.

For an insight into my utterly insane and potentially dangerous mind (and the appropriately-similar handwriting), you can have a wee gander at the notes here. There's not much, pretty much just the features that Cagney threw into...

PARIS, FRANCE - Following the recent protests by Soul Calibur IV's female fighters over the skimpiness of their clothes, Namco have delivered a formal response to the actions taken by the gaming characters: their clothes will now fall off.
