First Person Shooter fan? Fan of MMOs? Want to have persistence and consequence? Can't believe you didn't mention the upcoming Dust514. If you haven;t heard of it, check it out. Is in the same universe as EVE, FPS, MMO. Ticks all the boxes - I'm definitely looking forward to it.

I disagree. What the victim did in the period leading up to the rape is entirely relevant as it needs to be ascertained if a crime actually took place. Not saying someone walking down an alley in a miniskirt deserves it or we should be blaming someone who is violently attacked. More talking...

Physical appearance can be characterization - being fat indicating gluttony/laziness, scars indicating a predisposition/history to violence, jutting jaw indicating masculinity, hunched shoulders indicating introversion, etc Agreed, if the characters are well written enough they will still be...

Not saying physical appearance is the entirety of characterisation, but it does help. I also quite enjoyed DE:HR, but I can't say the characters really drew me in. I never really cared about any of them. Gameplay was good enough to keep me coming back. And quite a lot of people agree with...

I'm saying that immersion/relation works better when the character represents you/an ideal. most people don't view themselves as unattractive. Ergo, most characters in games are not going to be unattractive. The example I was thinking of was a love interest (maybe should have been...

nail. head. (with the last sentence). This is going to get a lot worse. The chavs and general pond scum have now seen that the police can't (or won't) stop them. This is going to result in more rioting/looting until the residents get fed up and start defending themselves - it's already...

also just to point out to various people on this thread if you don't watch live TV in the UK, you don't need a TV license. watch Iplayer. personally I don't watch TV, its mainly brain rot.

not if you're in the front seat or the only person in the car...

just wait til a f*cktard points one at a plane and blinds a pilot, bringing down a jet airliner.

hi moviebob, just saw your Prince of Persia review (been away for a couple of weeks). thanks for the apology. Now I'm going to have to go and see Splice - if I can find somewhere playing it...

So I guess it was too much to hope for an apology for getting the English flag wrong in last weeks' episode...
