    Worst game(s) you've ever completed

    Tricky, because I don't often finish games. I suppose Fable 3. I'd heard about the crappy ending well before I bought the game, but I had to see that badness for myself. And yeah, it sucked.

    Leaving work to train as a teacher

    Ok, the crib sheet: 32 years old, single, no children, no car, no home. Been in the military for 6 (nearly 7) years, doing OK at it but decided it isn't for me. Put in my notice and will be promoted to the rank of 'Mister' by the end of the year. See, it's like we know each other already...

    What is your gamer stereotype breaking hobby?

    Something blue, or a strong cheddar. Stilton and apple is a classic!

    Have you ever had a gay (same sex) experience?

    I prefer your version.

    Potentially beneficial results from the xbone going down in flames.

    Can I get a gaming PC, that will be current for the next 6 years, for under £300? No. No I can't.

    Poll: If You Could Switch Your Sex/Gender...

    I'm not a particularly good man. I'd hate to ruin the opposite gender as well.

    What's the appeal with first-person gameplay?

    It's a tricky one. Some games thrive in 1P, others do not. One game that springs to mind is Killzone; it's a cover-based shooter, but it's 1P. What the fuck is that about? I also thought Bioshock was a pretty poor shooter, once you stripped away the story elements. Actually, yeah, fuck...

    CliffyB Thinks Used Games Are Bad, Sony is "Playing Us"

    Hear hear. More Mojang, anyone?

    What is your gamer stereotype breaking hobby?

    Madness. What sort of stuff do you cook? Also, who is hostile about it?! Are you especially young or something? At my age, it's not unusual to have an hour-long conversation about cheese.

    What is your gamer stereotype breaking hobby?

    I'm an IT Technician in the Royal Air Force (though I am jacking that in very soon). I am looking at becoming a teacher after I leave as well. I also don't particularly like video games. Not to sound big-headed, but one of the reasons I love this site is Yahtzee/Ben, because he refuses to...

    Poll: Mindless hatred for the Xbone?

    Snap. I don't particularly want to buy either of the next-gen consoles at this point (sorry Nintendo, you aren't invited to this party), but it's not a placard-waving hatred or anything. I've just looked at the pros and cons, and I'm not sending my cash to Microsoft just yet. Additionally, my...

    What Do You Usually Make Your RPG Characters Look Like?

    With ME3, I specifically tried to make Shepard as ugly as possible. I just thought it was funny seeing the hero of the universe, chatting up everyone and getting high-fives, look like an ex-boxer. I'm not what you'd call 'conventionally handsome' either, so there was a bit of that in there too...

    Memorable Modern Game Soundtracks

    (sic) Man, the intro to that game is brilliant. There's a cool website called 'Art of the Title' that shows off memorable opening sequences, and DE:HR is on there. It made me remember how cool that game looked. Though it still annoyed the shit out of me...

    Memorable Modern Game Soundtracks

    I actually paid money for the 'Don't Starve' soundtrack. It's barely 10 minutes, but the main theme is ace. There was some buyer's remorse, I'll admit. The Forza Horizon soundtrack is pretty good too. It's not an OST, but there are some good songs on there. I am aware that is a little too...

    Have you ever had a gay (same sex) experience?

    I'll run this one by y'all: So, I'm standing in a gay nightclub, with 3 male colleagues, and one of them is holding my hand and every-so-often touching my face. On the way back in a taxi, I mention to my buddy that the situation was, perhaps, a teensy bit gay. He is outraged by this...
