Guys, this is completely off-topic. On topic, I've actually been incredibly lucky as regards disconnected controllers. I have a play&charge kit for my xbox controller so if it runs out of juice I can grab the charger and ram it into the top if I'm in a hurry. That said, there was one time...

To be honest, it really depends on the circumstances. If I've spent most of the day playing Battlefield 3 and my friends (who are really really cool people, no really, no peer pressure to do anything, you can do what you like and nobody will get at you for it) ask me if I want to come out to the...

XD Oh dear! So dry it's a fine powder! I think the "their/they're" misspelling tipped me over on deciding if you were being serious or not. :P

I have a headache just reading through this thread. One of my favourite Youtubers, Landan2006 (who does mainly Gears of War commentaries) calls these "sweaty" gamertags and I've taken to calling them that too. When I'm trolling Battlefield 3 with one of my friends, we will go faaaar out of...

Sorry, do you even know what you're talking about? Why don't you read the rest of the thread and figure out if these people really are getting ripped off? No worries, man. :) It seems to me that a LOT of people are just jumping on what they see as a bandwagon and saying people who bought...

How is getting a discount on all the DLC we would otherwise buy seperately, 2 weeks early access and a bunch of other, less important goodies being "easily fooled"? I know I'm going to be buying all the DLC because I love the game and I have faith in DICE. Not everyone does, but then...

Thank you for writing this article, anonymous person. It's people like you that give me hope that we really can make a difference by simply talking about and sharing our problems in an honest way. I really can't thank you enough for taking the effort and willpower and writing such an deep and...

May the wind be at your back! Hope it goes well. It's certainly a gutsy thing to do and hey, as other people have said, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Piranha Games. They're developing the new Mechwarrior game (Mechwarrior Online) and are doing a fantastic job of interacting with the community. They hold regular polls on their Facebook page and forums asking what fans want and some developers post in the forums semi-regularly, so we should...

They did not declare pizza a vegetable. They said that due to the vegetables in it it counts as part of the daily recommended amount of vegetables you're supposed to eat. I hate it when people don't reference their facts properly. -.-

Parents aren't introducing reading to their child or reinforcing it early enough. I got into reading so early that I was miles ahead of my classmates in year 2 of school and got to skip a year and go straight to 4. I'm still the youngest person in my class and I get very good grades. I know...

I spilled some of the 7up I was pouring into a glass in the kitchen and picked it up to drink enough that the level would go down a bit, spilling more in the process. It wasn't a lot and only took 3 seconds to clean up with a flannel, but my dad decided to call me a "fucking shithead" for...

I used to be a buttload more cynical before I discovered Buddhism. Granted, I'm still quite cynical now, but I usually direct my cynicism at society or attitudes rather than the people carrying said attitudes. I feel it's important to be quite cynical so you can see life more clearly, without...

I believe an XKCD comic tackled this idea on a small scale. Wanting to watch the world end is indeed just a natural human attraction to spectacle, I feel. Here it is: http://xkcd.com/611/ And to people who can't read; the OP meant that he would find it interesting to watch the world end...

You won't void your warranty by forcing the tray back in, it's just a problem because it might take slightly longer to fix because you might break something else inside. Try and do it with a minimum of force and it'll be fine. Send it in. It's still under warranty and Microsoft service in...
