    Zero Punctuation: Epic Mickey

    I can't see anyone else mentioning it in the above comments (though i may have missed it) but in Ireland, "Mickey" is slang for male genetalia. Suddenly the child molestation jokes don't seem so out of place, do they?

    well for the really challenging stuff, D.E.P. something like Sugar Coated Sour or The Running Board. or maybe 43% burnt since its probably the one everyone knows.

    Poll: Is Music Art?

    It's hard to give a definite answer on this topic. Some bands and artists are definitely trying to create something worthy of the title, while a lot more are just trying to make money. from an artistic standpoint insofar as trying something new or different, something to engage the listener...

    Stupidest rule in school...

    Over here in ireland, in Primary school (essentially junior high) you weren't allowed go to the toilet unless you asked in Irish. Considering only 4% of our population can speak the bloody language properly, this led to some hilarious moments as kids tried to remember how to pronounce the magic...

    Poll: Best Game Of '08

    Dead Space hands down. Amazing detail, perfect atmosphere and the script was awesome. The in game story, the one you piece together as you play from logs and whatnot, was such the perfect tool to immerse you in the experience. Difficulty is perfectly scaled, and the game was completley...

    Poll: What Did You Think Of Watchmen?

    To be honest i found it a great compliment to the book. i noticed among my friends that those that were fans of the book thought it was good, not amazing, but good. those who didnt read the book hated it. i can understand this to an extent, as its such a complicated story that and if your...

    Street Fighter 4

    from a damage point of view, rose is very close. Vega does about the same. gouken, chun li and cammy are close behind. i havent sat down and compared the damage, but it doesnt seem that much more powerful from the ones that are miles easier than his to land. i aint gonna stop usin him, unless...

    Street Fighter 4

    I dunno, Rose's one is fairly easy to get off, about as powerful, but much easier to land (ive tried jumping out multiple times only to have it clip my toe and suddenly cut to it wrapping around my wrist -.-). akuma's one on the other hand is trivialised. i mean ive done it as people were in the...

    How important is game music and sound design to you? - CHAT WITH THE STAFF!

    music is everything. i try and play every game i have with proper stereo headphones (usually a pair of Sennheiser HD205's) for the full imersive quality. some people claim surround sound is better, but i dont need to hear cars driving by outside my apartment while im stealthing along in Thief or...

    Street Fighter 4

    I love it and hate it. I love the character design, except I hate the Blanka design. I love the selection of characters but hate that they left DeeJay out. (also Garuda woulda been awesome to bring back) I still love Akuma, but now hate that they've made his ultra one of the easiest to...

    So Video Game movies, would you go see a decent one?

    Maybe for the dialog yeah, personally for visuals i'd prefer Ruairi Robinson. If you ain't familiar with his work, theres 2 short movies knocking around on the net you have to see. one is called 'Fifty Percent Grey' and the other is called 'The Silent City'. He's also doin the live action...
