    Rumor: Plot for Star Wars 7 Leaks Out

    I was hoping for something related to the extended universe books. This sounds less than promising. Since this is a leak, I'm hoping that it's some kind of hoax/untruth and that we get something better.

    Poll: Does Steam look better after the Xbox One?

    I've been using steam for a while. I really can't complain; I've had no memorable problems with the service and the sales! My god, the sales. As for the new Xbox, I'm glad I gave up on consoles at the start of the current generation.

    6th Grader Shoots Potential Rapist

    Well, at the end of the day, nobody was killed and the burglar was apprehended. Good outcome. I think the whole "potential rapist" thing was added to the headline to ramp up the sensationalism and drama (though in a clever way, because we don't know and now may never know whether he actually...

    Modding single player Mass Effect 3 bans you from Origin

    If they ban modding and enforce it, PC gaming will come full circle. If this becomes a trend, people will turn to the indie developers, who will become financially powerful and just like the old corporations... and that cycle will repeat itself. Ok, that's unlikely to be true, but I think...

    UK pedo caught by DSi. Confesses to sex (multiple times) with girl (9-11), Gets 3.5 years. Wat.

    The Justice system in the UK is weird. You will find it pretty difficult to get a good job if you have a criminal record, though sentencing is very mild (Potentially as few as 10 years for murder, or something). This means that when a person is released from jail, they have very few options...

    Poll: British Escapists! You need this!

    TV mostly (But not completely) sucks. I watch occasionally for comedy panel shows such as "Would you lie to me?", "Have I got News for You" and, most notably "QI". There's too much "reality TV" nowadays and more than enough soap operas to keep me disinterested. Professional Wrestling probably...

    Looking for a good turn-based strategy game.

    You could wait till X-Com: Enemy Unknown comes out later this year. Will be surprised if that is anything less than amazing. Failing that, you could go for the original game, on steam now for pennies. Fallout Tactics is a decent idea. There are very few building/resource management...

    arguably the greatest musical piece, scene ever.

    That song brings back good memories of watching Gurren Lagann. Also, i bought a Boota plushy today! It is indeed not the best though.

    Poll: How do you feel about interracial marriages?

    Free love man. Free love. I'm all for it. Race is no barrier to love. I'm a hopeless romantic really.

    Poll: Anyone else hate the Skyrim animal races?

    My disdain from them stems from morrowind when they could not wear armour in certain slots because of their body shapes. They did remove this in Oblivion, but my dislike never really went away. It's been a while, but if i recall correctly, khajit in morrowind did have reversed joints in their...

    You have a time capsule, and any games of your choice.

    I would put in: X-Com, because it is such an enduring classic Zelda OoT, because it was the only game in the franchise that truly revolutionised it CoD 4, because it kicked off generation kill streak (for better or for worse) Morrowind, because everyone forgets about that, and i still find...

    What would it take to tople WoW from its throne?

    The answer is quite simple really, failing all other attempts, there is one infallible king-slayer that always "topples" the top dog. I am of course talking about Time. Assuming another MMO doesn't come along and tear down WoW in the interim (SWToR being the contender here), tastes will...

    [UPDATE] Feds Take Down Megaupload

    Just to clarify, the mega upload employees live in New Zealand? Just another example of The American Government's Cultural imperialism; they have to impose their national laws on the rest of the world.
