Apparently the Launch party will be hosted by Andy Akinwolere (former Blue Peter presenter - one of the annoying team) and some woman from the US called Jessica Chobot...(who?)

Where's Dara? If we're going to have a balanced panel why not include the lovely Violet Berlin as well?

If I can't hear them properly there will be hell to pay.....

Dara is on tour and gigging in Ireland that night: http://www.daraobriain.com/dates/

I didn't know Jessica was still in the games 'biz' - she was quite the centre point on the US IGN site a few years back, I believe she left to do more rewarding things (like having children) - I quite liked her breezy style.

She is well known in the US, so a good call there I think.

Andy, no idea.

TJ's right tho - all we need is David (and Michael - if he's not too busy that day, for some reason or another)

That pic of her and her being called 'breezy' just confirms all my misgivings

I would have liked the guys with the funny Dutch and Austrian (?) accents who welcome you to the dokking bey to host the event.

Jessica worked or works for IGN ,dunno if thats a good thing or not, as for Andy he's an x blue peter presenter and I have no idea why they picked him.

At my age I quite like boring.

I know (not actually know) Andy Akinwolere from his swimming exploits as the previous poster points out.

Looked up Jessica Chobot on internet/youtube, she seems very shouty and loud.

She's my brother's other half's cousin. For a couple of pints, I'll see what I can do.

I'm sure getting Helen Skelton there would deserve a badge of some sort!

Unfortunately she can't make it. Something about paddling up The Nile on a crocodile for Children in Need. Pathetic excuse.

Not Dara Ó Briain please no... I find his <AHEM> weak le tattle humor elevates him to the epitome of mediocrity.

Ey, they don't make them like they used to.
