    Poll: Which game that is NOT OUT are you NOT GOING to get.

    I voted SW:TOR. Definately will not get: - SWToR (I just don't do MMORPGs) - Modern Warfare 3 (if I wanted an on-line manshooter I would buy BF3) - Assassin's Creed Revelations (because of UbiSoft's DRM stupidity) On the fence: - Mass Effect 3 (if it comes without the need for Origin...

    Witcher 2: Complaint

    I also have had some weirdness happening in this game. In the opening sections at Foltest's camp and also in Flotsam I am getting between 22 and 30 fps. My quad core is not being thrashed and my GPU (GTX 460) is only working at 50-60%, this is with the High settings that were recommended and...

    Has anyone else here actually migrated from console gaming to PC gaming?

    Yes, it's gone like this: N64, a variety of PCs (mostly for work), nothing(aaaarrrgghhh!), XBox, XBox 360 (3 of the buggers) and lastly PC. My last PC I got for about £400 a couple of years ago and have made several improvements. It was already a quad core so I added some extra storage, a better...

    Tea anyone?

    I used to drink Long Island Iced Tea but kept falling over. Now I will settle for a cup of Earl Grey (no milk but plenty of brown sugar). Much prefer coffee though - real not instant. Max. of 3 cups of coffee per day in the morning, and tea for the rest of the day.

    where did you get your escapist username from?

    Funny you should say that. I've just come back in from therapy, where a whole team of therapists have been poking into my mental 'crevices' all day. What's really odd is that they maintain that I am actually a human. Crazy fuckers.

    where did you get your escapist username from?

    Thank you, does that mean I get a prize? fruit or insects would be nice. Also very partial to Galaxy milk chocolate for some reason.

    where did you get your escapist username from?

    I am a small primate of the genus Callithrix but I am not very good at being one and sometimes act in a worryingly human manner.

    Signed. Not sure what good it will do but it seemed like the right thing to do.

    Review: Dead Space 2

    Yeah, you've got to love that Force gun, I had some great fun with that thing especially with some of the smaller Necros. However, I am trying a different combination of weapons this time around (3rd) and I am having to change my tactics slightly.

    Review: Dead Space 2

    Good review, thanks Susan. As you say, DS2 wasn't exactly scary but I was certainly uncomfortable and there was always a high measure of tension as you try to figure just how to bring down the Necros as efficiently as possible. As far as the jump scares, cheap as they might be, I found them...

    What is your catch phrase?

    When somebody is being dull: "How interesting and marvelous..." When somebody has told me something and I don't know what to say: "Fair enough" When surprised: "Well, fuck me!" When in a tricky social situation: "Ya bim de bim thwackerty ph'tang stirkel boo bum ni bing bockerty " followed by...

    Poll: Upper-class English accents... your views, please

    By upper-class do you mean like the aristocracy or like, say, a BBC presenter (otherwise known as RP)? I am English and I am more towards the BBC end of that scale even though I was raised in the North East. I find the way the aristos speak rather affected and annoying. Stephen Fry on the...

    Poll: Poll:Deus Ex:Human Revolution or Dragon Age 2

    I find that I have lost a fair bit of confidence in Bioware but still have to say that DA 2 is a 'definite' and Deus Ex is a 'wait for reviews'.

    You can have any super power you want...but there is a catch

    Dammit went with flight! I suppose I would have to do all my flying in remote places. And at low altitude, wouldn't want anything important falling off with the cold.
