    Ever just lost interest in a long game?

    I suffer badly from this... start a game I've heard/read is really good. Enjoy it, play most days when I've got time, then one day realise I haven't played in a week and don't feel like playing even though I want to progress in the game. There are some games I've played to death (eg Sid...

    Poll: A question of friendship.

    Pretty much what I have... I have few very close friends, and a large extended group - or groups, rather; sports team-mates, gaming clan-mates, see-you-next-Saturday-when-we're-getting-boozed-again-mates. Not sure if I'd be able to pick between either of the extremes - having been in both...

    I think I'm becoming a resolution snob!

    Noticing a difference will depend on screen size and distance from the screen: http://www.carltonbale.com/2006/11/1080p-does-matter/ PC gaming on a 24" (1920x1200) I notice the details more than 360/PS3 gaming on my mate's 32" (1920x1080) TV simply because of the difference in distance from the...

    Animal Slaughter Blamed on Violent Games

    Any stats on whether the rate of "wildlife attrocities" committed by 15-22 year old males has increased (especially when compared with the availability of guns) over the last few decades, or just someone looking for something to blame.... There's always something to blame.

    The DRM Effect

    File me under "don't care". While I purchase some games (eg TF2, which, coincidentally, I've pirated as well since buying it) most are downloaded, tried, and ditched. If it's a game I will continue playing, I'll pay. Otherwise, I'll have my disk space back tyvm. Bioshock is still hiding...

    Game Design Sketchbook: Police Brutality

    The police did their job. They were told to remove him, he resisted, they warned him they would use a taser on him if he continued resisting, and he didn't stop. I'm sure there is much worse police brutality happening more often. The issue with this particular case: why were the police...

    Poll: Are you a student?

    Pity you didn't separate the graduated and dropped out/other options - would be interesting to see how many graduates are here. Personally, I am halfway through my (first?) degree (a BSc, Organic/Analytical Chem) but have been having a long-term break.
