Confession: when I'm not writing about gadgets and games, I'm at least a little obsessed with food: eating it, reading about it and occasionally making it. Needless to say, I'm a huge fan of flippant ex-chef-gone-writer Anthony Bourdain and his excellent travel show No Reservations.

So imagine my surprise when two of the greatest things in the world—food and video games—fused into one during Bourdain's visit to Vancouver and he showed up at the set of infamous filmmaker Uwe Boll. Bourdain actually participated in shooting a short cameo in FarCry that will appear during what I'm betting are the best 4 seconds of the film. So what's it like to work with Boll? Watch the clip.

Oh, and for those interested, Bourdain also visits the illustrious EA Vancouver campus as well in the episode, so it's worth giving it a good DVRing...but I do hope he keeps actually eating food every once in a while for my vicarious salivation.

Are you a PC gamer who's never tried Far Cry, Rayman's Raving Rabbids or Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time? Well today all four games have shown up on FilePlanet, completely free of charge for subscribers to the service. Well, not exactly completely free. They are all now in convenient as supported form, meaning you'll get a healthy dose of marketing along with your free game, but hell, these are some pretty awesome titles to get for the low, low price of watching a few commercials. Not sure if this is a temporary deal or what, as Ghost Recon was up there as well but the link is now not working, so you might need to hop on this ASAP.
