A study in the UK found that victims of bullying hid or gave up on their talents because they were targeted for them: http://djsresearch.co.uk/EducationMarketResearchInsightsAndFindings/article/Children-Hiding-Talents-At-School-To-Avoid-Bullies-01000 It's all very well saying that people...

You're making big assumptions here, dude, and they really don't help the whole debate. Violent media is vetted by society as a whole, meaning that actual, real violence can never be filmed, distributed and marketed legally, creating a very clear line between fictional violence and real life...

It speaks volumes that they were literally so greedy and lazy that they couldn't be bothered to remove these characters from the disc before shipping to stores. Had they done so, and kept quiet about it, they could have released them as DLC a month or two down the line and no-one would have been...

What about other sites like MySpace? Hell, what about messageboards like this one? Do they need to know if I've ever entered the Photoshop contests at Something Awful or B3ta? This smacks of hoary old farts deciding that this here FaceSpace doohicky is clearly a worry, and as upright citizens...

I'll add something else to what I said: what makes LARP fun isn't how many people you killed, it's the 'little moments'. You know the stories you try to tell down the pub or at the bar, that are blindingly hilarious to those who were there, but just don't have the same magic when you re-tell...

Oh God, where do I start... What you're describing isn't LARP, it's just fighting in fancy dress. You spend a lot more time walking, talking, trading, swapping rumours and the like, and if it's a decent system you'll be sorting out political dealings, long-running feuds and various ancient...

I'll just leave this here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.323434-Skyrim-elves-look-AWFUL#13249425

I notice that everyone is quoting Steven Moffat episodes as their favourites (The Empty Child, Blink, Silence in the Library). Given that he is taking over as executive producer, it's fair to say that the next series is going to be really very good indeed. The trailer showed a different style of...

The PSP Go will still play the same games, but it will require either online purchase and download, or a converter to upload UMDs (so I've heard). Either way, it will play the exact same games, but deliver them in a different way depending on how you like to get your games. It is NOT a separate...

The PSP has shifted 50 million units, almost as many as the Wii and as many as the PS3 and 360 put together. The wave of terrible PS2 ports has given way to some great exclusives including Metal Gear Portable Ops, Monster Hunter Freedom, Loco Roco, Patapon, Prinny, Crisis Core, God of War...

The question is horribly black and white; that said, I highly value graphics because I adore games with life, colour and personality. I just played through Crash 2 and it's full of excellent animations, bright, detailed levels and cute and distinctive enemies. As far as I'm concerned it will...

And if we've survived that long then, given the explosion of technology we've produced in just 100-150 years, I'd say that we'll be a long, long way from the sun and failing to give a shit.

Oh, and Metroid Prime: Hunters. Could not find the last key no matter what I did. I swear I searched every level, found both boss rooms in every single on, and simply could not work out which key I was missing. If the menu actually told you which ones were missing instead of just using symbols...

Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? Sir Sweet's second form. Where every other boss takes a reasonable amount of damage and can be knocked out to let you take out a sizeable chunk of their health bar, Sir Sweet can't be knocked out and takes next to no damage. And while you're savaging the...

Very true, but it was the N64 that prompted them to make the dual shock at the time. w/e, my point still stands. Ripping off is what made this nation great.
