    Critical Miss: Garrus: Badass Burnout

    In Mass Effect Gaiden, the known universe faces a threat so far beyond the comprehension of hype that the only way they could concieve of beating it is by "merging" Shepard and Garrus into one superbeing Garrushep! Tremble at the thunder of his coming and the lamentation of the enemy's co...

    What does the world have against America?

    I'm actually scared to post my real feelings on this I just hope the various agencies don't mark me down as some subversive (sigh). Aristotle criticised the state he asked for his punishment to be a wage and free dinners for the rest of his life but he got poison, I think that's likely to be my...

    Behold the Skyrim Bacon Helmet!

    I don't agree with a helmet made out of bacon, that's just madness! Maybe if you covered a metal helmet with bacon, then went around looking for the flame strafing dragons, maybe a friendly O-dah ving! they can cook your bacon with you, of course this may also cook your brains *cough, ahem* so...

    What RPG class would you be in the event of a zombie apocalypse?

    Zombies don't kill people, gangsters do, but never fear! Just wear Dragon plate armour on both kneecaps and nothing can touch you....and baskets lots of baskets, put them on the non-existent zombie heads and you will be safe.

    Poll: Which Thu'um would you pick?

    My no. 1 choice would be fully upgraded slow time for the Matrix effect, you can concievably, hit slow time, light up your Hannibal from A-team style cigar , chop/nuke down your foe and say "I love it when a plan comes together!". 2) Oh Da Ving Call Dragon, seriously?! it's the medieval...

    Skyrim. R.I.P. Companions.

    I reloaded everytime Lydia died, now I leave her to munch bread bread in my townhouse in Whiterun. This is partly because I can't bear to let allies die and a kinda holdover from "Fire Emblem" where NPC's can permanently die if you make a bad move. Having said that, Othern died as a...

    Poll: Skyrim; Empire or. Rebels?

    Well, I never played Oblivion, my gut instinct, being anti-establishment is to be a rebel, but to be honest, most civilisations only become benevolent federations after the empire model. So I'm going double contrarian and be Empire. Yeah at the start I was going to be decapitated, but an...

    Your Favorite Game Sucks

    No. 1, Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if they are a reviewer, they have to come clean that it is not their "professional opinion" or that they have not "reviewed the game". Now, most gamers by now, have SOME idea of what they like/don't like, and they must have SOME idea of how...

    Warcraft Romance Ends With Felony Charges

    I heard or read somewhere that men's sexual peak is 13 and women's start around 30, which doesn't mean I condone breaking the law, but essentially I'm not sure a jail custodial sentence for a victimless crime is a sensible judgement. The woman is a mother-who will look after her kids while...

    Terry Pratchett Makes His Own Heavenly Sword

    Terry Pratchett shows his larger than life personality with this quality shiny. It is well known in China, several of the "Magic" state treasure swords were made with meteorite ore, some were thought to be cursed -think Radioactive :p And the concentrations of heavy...

    Neverwinter Attempts To Recreate D&D

    I've lost touch with my RL pen n paper buddies, but I think there are still more players than GMs, I've tried to GM but utter fail. This sounds like a good solution( if it works). I loved NWN1 but hated the interface in NWN2, I will probably check out this one, the cover art looks a...

    Your weapon in the zombie apocalypse. (with a twist)

    The most weapon-worthy item to my immediate left of screen and keyboard is a fluorescent tube angle poise lamp, it's got a small roughly cubular weight at one end, then a rather useless screw clamp, I say useless because very few months the whole lamp gets unclamped and crashes onto my table. It...

    Who is your favorite game character?

    Probably Sabin in Final Fantasy 6, Super Famicom, he has streetfighter like attacks, and is an amusing over-enthusiastic musclehead who tries to take on a giant octopus alone and gets hurled half the game-map away.

    Microsoft refers to core audience as "Sweaty thirty year olds in Metallica t-shirts"

    I don't own a Metallica T-shirt and I'm not sweaty. But since he did it to me I will do it back to him. He's probably some ivy-league-educated condescending jerk who likes George Michael and Genesis and wears an expensive suit, secretly he would have liked to be a politician because he would...

    What RPG class would you be in the event of a zombie apocalypse?

    Obviously the most uber class would be average high school girl, but maybe that doesn't count as a class hmm, ok, nekoromancer then the combined powers of a cat and a necromancer, how can I fail (I can always get featured on lolcats if I fail winwin) my only weakness would be catnip.
