    Was clearing out some stuff and found this..

    Figured you'd might appreciate things from them olden day, was going through some old clothes and found them (the cards / lanyards were wrapped up with the tees).. It takes me back :D I do, admittedly, miss being abused by Kross.

    You won't believe what will be happening later this year (Escapism UK)

    Those quotes seem like they may have been fabricated.. Except maybe that one about things being on fire, that seem accurate. :)

    Why is backwards compatibility such a major deal now?

    There's also the convenience consideration, If I were to buy a PS4 and XBone, I would still need my PS3 and 360 under my TV to play my catalogue of old games, with two brand new boxes there to play maybe 3 games at launch (making them mostly useless), resulting in a crapload of space being used...

    A Game's Replay Value is Like Chocolate Sauce

    I think the game I personally found had the most replay value in recent years was Portal, even though you finished the game, and it was short, there can be a thousand other ways to finish it, or there was a subtle undertone to the storytelling which could have been missed on the first play...

    L.A. Noire's Gag Reel Bridges the Uncanny Valley

    It's funny, when playing LA Noire, I really didn't think too much of the facial expressions, sure they looked pretty real and impressive, but it kinda felt, I dunno.. scripted? Seeing the realness of unscripted events in the technology really does a much better job of demonstrating it's...

    Community Spotlight : ThyNameIsMud

    In Mud's defence, that was also Kross, I would never have known otherwise.. When those two get together, they're like evil masterminds :P

    IO Changed Hitman: Absolution Following Nun Controversy

    That's the thing though, I couldn't really give a crap whether they were scantly clad or not, the question that came up is simply WHY. Are they a gang which believe women are pure and superior? in which case a nun persona with a dominatrix style under dress wouldn't necessarily be inappropriate...

    IO Changed Hitman: Absolution Following Nun Controversy

    I don't know if it's just me, but I'm actually quite disappointed at this, I watched the trailer, initially was intrigued, saw the nuns and became curious, saw them pulling out guns and removing their robes before coming to the very quick realisation that they were a gang of some description...

    Gabe Newell Thinks Steam Can Help Mainstream Linux

    Linux advocate and realist here, yea.. This isn't going to have the impact Gabe wants it too, I'll give him some credit for having the balls to take a shot at it though. Technical support for Linux is practically impossible, and it's caused by the most important part of Linux distributions...

    Revenge of the Metacritics: Diablo III Getting Review-Bombed

    The problem as I see it with the review bomb though, is that most people aren't reviewing the game, they're reviewing Blizzards network infrastructure. Blizzard did their best to warn people prior to the games release and on the login screens and at least went through the problems of...

    Server Issues Mar Diablo III's Launch

    They should have run an open beta weekend to estimate general performance so they could ensure they were ready at release for the massive influx of players.. oh.. wait...

    Doing what is asked of you is a C?

    Fair enough, I can accept that logic, I'm kinda on the fence about the whole thing myself, if this is uni, then you should generally pick subjects you actually have an interest in and would read up on outside the classroom, and not just coast by on exactly what you are taught, but at the same...

    Doing what is asked of you is a C?

    This is an awesome analogy, so I'm going to use it to argue against you :) I say I want you to bring the groceries in and put them away, but I haven't told you where I want everything to go. If you come in and drop everything in a cupboard, you get a C, because you've done what I've asked...

    IRC Servers Down

    The maintenance is still unfortunately ongoing, I know it's been a couple of days, but there was a network level event that we are still dealing with. If all goes to plan, everything should be online again this evening (GMT). Thanks for your patience.
