    The Pirate Bay Faces U.K. Blockade

    Aw crap. Now people will just have to click on one of the other 50 links the torrent search sites throw up. Ever heard the phrase "fighting a losing battle" Downing Street? Anyone who thinks this is a remotely good thing is obviously an extremely short sighted person that can't see how...

    Why is it that everyone thinks that the vocal minority of Xbox live users and CoD players are...

    All I say is thank god for the Mute option. My policy on Xbox Live now is if you're a dickhead for no reason (no matter how small) or an arrogant loudmouth you just get muted pretty much straight away. Works perfectly.

    Attention European Escapist! Why do you hate your country?

    Most people deep down do love their country. The whining is just something we do. It's just we show our patriotism when we need to. I think people are "more patriotic" (emphasis on quotation marks) in America because they make a far bigger thing of it. Also, it's a bit sweeping to even...

    How can some gamers call Japanese Xenophobic for not accepting western gaming?

    I don't know if the Japanese are Xenophobic, but you definitely get the impression they like to let's say "look after their own" a bit more obviously than other countries. It stretches well beyond gaming (workplaces etc) Not that there's anything wrong with that, just saying before I get...

    Visceral Games shut down *article in topic*

    Feel bad for the people who are gonna lose their jobs, just glad it's not the whole of Visceral. You can say what you like about their games but you can't deny they are at very polished (or at least the 2 Dead Spaces were) and there's a lot more potential there.

    You are going to be killed by the last weapon you used in a game. How are you feeling?

    Is pre-ordering really worth it?

    For a minority of games, maybe. For most games though I'd say no. Most of the stuff you get for a pre-order is worthless. Like I said there are a few decent ones but they are the exceptions rather than the rule in my opinion. Also I don't like the way they push pre-ordering as some sort of...

    More Origin heresy

    You always have to wonder with EA related things how much people would actually care if it wasn't EA. Not much would be my guess.

    What do you reckon could improve modern games?

    I think they need to get some of their craziness back. I do like recent games but they can seem a bit dry. I mean, it's all well and good trying to advance the medium and all that stuff but... If game developers spent less time trying to mimic film and more time just making what they...

    Poll: Do people spelling in Internet slang (or 'Textese') bother you?

    Yes, because every time someone does it, they degrade the English language.

    Does THC deprivation last a life time?

    It all depends on the person. I know plenty of people who have smoked weed. Whilsts smoking, it screwed some of them up. Others were perfectly fine. Same goes for when people quit really. Some people just stop whilst others have a really hard time doing so, regardless of time spent smoking...

    PS Vita is Region Free

    Yeah this is going to be an amazing machine. Once I see how long the inevitable delay is to the European launch I might considering importing if it's going to be ages.

    What was the first game you remember playing?

    The first game I remember playing properly was Duck Hunt on the original NES. Got them for Christmas at my first house. Good times :D

    It's Friday night. How will YOU be enjoying it?

    Well it's 3.38am on Saturday right now. Last night I watched some Stargate Atlantis and played a little bit of NFS Hot Pursuit and Deus Ex HR. At the moment I'm 20 minutes into Limitless and I'm debating whether to watch the rest then sleep, or watch it then go and fire up the 360 again...
