Living down here in Australia, my house is currently sitting at a solid 30 degrees C (86F according to google). So it's cooled down from yesterday. God I hate Summer.

1. Gameplay 2. Story 3. Visuals The only reason I put gameplay first is because if I don't enjoy actually playing the game, then there's no immersion from the very beginning. That doesn't mean it has to be good gameplay, I just have to enjoy it (eg. Skyrim). Story is what's really...

I'm an aussie so I know about two-up and all that, but aren't the odds 25-50-25 (heads-odds-tails)?

A completely random thought I had while talking to my friend the other day (completely irrelevant to that conversation as well btw). So the question is this: "What is the largest amount of money you would be willing to bet on the toss of a coin?" As clarification, both the toss and coin...

Oh so many... 1. Correlation proves causation 2. Slippery slope arguments 3. Confusing 'Sarcasm' with 'irony' 4. Horrible, horrible puns 5. Misuse of 'light-years' Of the five, the last is the worst in my book. Light-years are a unit of LENGTH. LENGTH. Get it? Length NOT freakin' TIME...

I was going to put every variation of the word "NO" but I lost my dictionary. Jokes aside, a movie/game's quality is not measured by how much money it makes. Its popular appeal IS, but not how good it was overall.

We've all had them. Hell, there's probably a dozen other thread on them, but I want to know. What were those moments where you figured out a completely obvious puzzle, got so frustrated by a boss you threw the control, or gave up and only later realised you were seconds from victory...

Oh, so many times... Sometimes I take this waaaaay to far tho. I've caught myself reloading after every shot I fired once. It was a semi-auto, but it was still bad.

How on Earth has that not been mentioned?

deus ex machina should be reasonable, acceptable (in setting) and used so sparingly that you can count the uses with one finger. Anything else is poor writing. Amnesia. Enough with freaking amnesia. Amnesia is you being too freaking lazy to create a backstory and reeks of "made it up along...

I gotta agree with you there, but as to individual moments, three come to mind: 1- In the movie "The condemned" when a man is pushed out of helicopter and is (uninentionally) skewered on wreakage in the water. I laughed so hard my dad thought I was having an asthma attack. 2- After a...

Whenever I can see the blindingly obvious ambush/horror scene but have no choice but to walk straight into it.

I agree. I am naturally a very logial and methodical person. I've always been good at maths, but mostly because I try to understand how it works. Pythaagoras was all greek to me (no pun intended) until, like the first poster, I saw a diagram using squares. All that said, I suck at trying to...

Although its most recent release has made me ashamed to admit it, I've loved the Fable series from the beginning. Going back to the ps2 there was the Sly Racoon series (easily some of the greatest platform games in creation), the Ratchet and Clank series, and the Jak and Daxter series (I still...

I bought it for the multiplayer, not because it was going to be particularly good, but because my friends and I always come up with our own game which make CoD games a hundred times more fun than the producer ever could.
