    So apparently Edge magazine gave The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings 06/10

    I completely understand what you're saying - but sometimes I don't have time to read a long in-depth review and prefer a summing-up statement and a number out of 10. I usually have expectations regarding games, so when a game recieves a) a score I'm not expecting or b) a very high score...

    And the best in-game music is in...

    Ditto! I started listening to the sound-track last night, I really enjoyed it!

    try to imagine a new colour

    I know, ain't it cool? Even cooler is that if you fire a single particle of light at a target that's obscured by a sheet of metal/plastic/whatever with two holes in it, you'll find the single particle manages to GO THROUGH BOTH HOLES and hit the target as one particle. Now that's magic...

    try to imagine a new colour

    Your revelations are like the colour Micro-Yellow-BG=201-Gamma-X-Chromosone-super-shine striking mine eyes yes! But are they half-particle, half-wave? Or half-wave, half-particle? Or are they, heeheehee, one and the same and neither at the same time?? Quantum physics = fucks your shit right up

    Most random thing you've seen on TV

    TV could never compare to the Net, simply because anyone can post anything on it. But sometimes you think, what the hell possessed you to show this on a paid-for TV channel?

    And the best in-game music is in...

    That's a really good shout, I hadn't remembered that. I wonder how much the Fallout universe was inspired by Dr. Strangelove... Actually, going back to my criteria in my OP, I would argue that Tetris would fit the bill. There's no player-character as such, the music in it could only ever be...

    most overrated games

    So, so true. In fact, Nintendo as a whole is over-rated I'd reckon. Sure, their tech has become innovative, but they are the worst peddlers of IP. How many times have they released the original Mario now? I mean, more than half of the games for the 3DS are the same bloody games that already...

    What is a tactic/strategy in a video game that is you often use?

    When I play Risk, I like to start off in Australia or south America, take the continent in the first turn, then fortify the choke-points. That way I get +" units per turn straight away. Then move into Africa and defend it. Gives me a good solid base for world domination. Or do board games not...

    try to imagine a new colour

    You see, I always thought ultra-violet and infra-red would look like funky shades of red and violet. The real mind-fuck is when you try to imagine what gamma looks like. I imagine it looks like a set of particles that can also travel as waves AT THE SAME TIME! :-O and they're green, coz...

    Most random thing you've seen on TV

    What's the most bizarre show/thing you've seen on TV? Anything goes here (except maybe porn, although I did find the Naked Detective a blast! sic) There've been a few zany cartoons in the past (Animanics, Emperor's New School, Freakazoid), but nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to Ultimate...

    Most blatant plagiarism you have ever seen.

    Yeah, but they make their living from making rubbish B-Movies. Plagarism? Rage. Rage, rage, rage, rage, rage, fucking rage. That game doesn't have an original bone in its body, and its not afraid to just lift elements from other games wholesales. Game design wise, they're a bunch of thieves

    And the best in-game music is in...

    Actually, my favourite track for a game has to be Suteki da Ne from FFX. Though I've always enjoyed the music from the Final Fantasy games, this really grabbed my attention when I first started the game, and I find it so mournful and soulful, expressing the emotions in the game really well.
