Fi was so much worse. The hints were useful, but telling me every time I was low on health or my shield needed repairing was annoying. I also hated being told something more than once. The game seemed to think I forgot how to select where to land EVERY time I went skydiving.

<--I think my friend Von Karma has a few thoughts on this accusation.

Some sort of rail gun. Giant buildup, followed by ridiculous noise and unrivaled stopping power. Seriously though, my bookshelf actually rattled last time I sneezed.

Nothing short of a headshot should instant kill (I'm looking at you, snipers and melee). Melee shouldn't even be effective, or at least should take the Reach assassination route, where an instant kill melee takes a few seconds. You should be able to carry lots of guns, but only one of each type...

I teared up during the dog scene in I Am Legend.

Man, what does my government have against video games? I'm going right up to Gillard and demanding, as a fellow redhead, that this problem be fixed!

I just made a Facebook Page dedicated to my ego. What's the weirdest thing you've done on the internet?

Being one of the proud bearers of flaming locks, I wondered how many others there were lurking around Escapist, and what people think of the greatest hair colour in the world.

So whenever I put on my iPod, I just set it to shuffle, then spend 5 minutes skipping songs until I find one I really want to listen to. But I never, EVER skip "What I Like About You" by the Romantics. So, general public: What is your "never skip" song?
