    Why do sci-fi writers do this?

    Usually it is to inspire a sense of wonder. That even as humanity breaks the light barrier and develops massive space ships, they're still little fish in a big sea. And also, in our own history there have been a lot of lost empires that regular people have to make space for. Most of the roman...

    For the older gamers (10+ years of gaming), what is your GOTD (game of the decade)?

    If any gamer of 10+ years of gaming picks something that isn't Timesplitters 2 they are a dirty, dirty liar.

    Dating norms need to change

    Hmm, I'm tasting a lot of bitterness. I met my girlfriend because she overheard me complaining loudly about Spiderman: One More Day and came over to talk about it. Our first day was at my house to watch Star Wars. Love doesn't have to happen the way Hollywood tells you - and rarely does.

    That Moment You Realised You're Old

    When I signed up for my first contract for a mobile phone. It just hit me all in a wave, very suddenly. That I had a contract, it was my responsibility and mind alone to pay it. That they ran a credit check on me before letting me sign up. At the time it was fine. An hour after walking out the...

    Sexsim: have the tables actually turned?

    In the UK two women die every week from domestic abuse. So no. The tables have not turned.

    US Citizenship Exam

    46/50 for California. Boom. Pow. And I have blood relatives there. Why am I still in the UK?

    Is this racist, does my teacher have a right to punish me for this?

    You must develop a stronger sense of self, in order to lambast your teacher when she jumps down your throat. With a carefully constructed ego, it is possible to make teachers opinions revolve around your opinions and not the other way around. You did nothing wrong, your teacher is a fool...

    Poll: Anyone else beginning to lose patience with Valve?

    It took them 5 years to go from Halflife to Half Life 2. It then took 18 months to get Episode 1 out. It then took 18 months to get Episode 2 out. It has been four years since episode 2. So yeah. I think they're taking their sweet time about it. If it was released next year, which seems...

    This is why I think that animals are superior to humans

    Intelligence is realising you have the ability to make other living creatures suffer. Wisdom is knowing when not to do it. Chimpanzees, Dolphins and Orcas have all been shown to have cruel, sadistic qualities. Orcas have killed trainers, intentionally toying with them, giving them just...

    Poll: What the hell is this?

    Personally I thought the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were payback for Pearl Harbour but that's obviously my quaint antiquated thinking at work...

    Microsoft to announce "Rebirth" of popular Xbox title

    I vote rogue squadron. Not an xbox game, but a game that'd sell well and had a big fanbase.

    Could Jesus stop bullets?

    Yes, but it is a complex theological question as to whether he would

    Poll: T-Rex - Predator or Scavenger?

    I think of T-rex as a land shark. The apex predator that won't turn it's nose up when a massive sauropod of hadrosaur dies, prey it would never normally be able to catch, but will rely for most of it's diet on hunting. There are partially healed Triceratops hip bones which suggest T-rex at...

    The moment your childhood died

    My parents say I was never a child. Sure, once I was smaller, but I was never a true child. I was always serious, forthright and knowledgable. I was making up my own jokes by 18 months and had memorised encyclopaedia's by the time I was 5. I guess maybe my childhood died somewhere in between...
