Eurogamer.net Podcast #11
BAFTAs! ModNation Racers! FarmVille! Cheryl Cole.
The Eiffel Tower took two years. Humans take nine months. Rustlers take 90 seconds. It's amazing how little time it can take to achieve such amazing feats.
Conversely, it's amazing that it takes seven days to come up with stuff like Eurogamer.net Podcast #11, a questionable feast of gaming current affairs and potentially litigious comments about well-known pop singers.

As ever, the Eurogamer.net Podcast is hosted by Tom Champion, who is joined this week by Tom Bramwell, Ellie Gibson and Eurogamer biz dev man David Lilley.
The gang quickly get down to business, exchanging all sorts of unresearched second-tier nonsense around about Sony's PS3-exclusive build-'em-up ModNation Racers, and Zynga's money-printing Facebook sensation FarmVille.
Elsewhere we discuss the merits of Codemasters' new Formula One game, talk about last Friday's controversial BAFTA results, and contemplate the problem of rubbish voice acting in videogames.
Thanks to your contributions, we also talk about downloadable content, and get to witness a beautiful example of the forum saving someone's life.
Contrary to popular demand, we also read out more redeemable codes, this time for the mighty Perfect Dark on Xbox Live Arcade. Thanks to Rare for those. Hyphen!
