    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    I remember a game I saw where you start off in a dungeon being chased by an evil knight with an axe or sword and if he catches you, you die.

    Developer Apologizes for Accidentally Threatening Kittens

    The thing is though, even though it is a joke gone awry it seems to have gotten a lot of people to withdraw their support. Because apparently what producers do is now the fault of the dev team. [/sarcasm] Even the escapist seems to think so with their inaccurate title. ('Developer Apologises For...

    Poll: Do you like the (British) royal family?

    This poll is kinda polarising. If there was an option called 'Some of them, but not others' That may have taken more of the vote, because that's the answer that I get from most people I talk to IRL. Most people seem to like the Queen, a fair few like William and Harry and a good percentage find...

    Man Sues BBC Claiming Copyright On Doctor Who's Dalek Leader

    Doctor Who is a massive moneyspinner for the BBC, mostly in DVD sales. If he is the creator of Davros, then he'd probably get some residuals. We're talking thousands, in all probability.

    UK Atheists Hope to Eliminate Jedi Population

    While I don't mind the fact that they're trying to make the census more accurate (which is a good thing), it's for an ulterior motive. Which is not a good thing. That's from their website. How paranoid do you have to be to assume that religious institutions are going to use a joke religion...

    Poll: Is Minecraft a game?

    It's a survival wide-open-sandbox game. Having mobs to fight helps it to be a game.

    Zero Punctuation: iPhone Games

    I don't understand why Yahtzee can say that Sonic Colours is a bad game not worth reviewing just based on the existence of cutscenes; avoiding the question of whether the gameplay is any good. I think he may have been using that as a way to avoid reviewing the game, but that's just me. I think...

    Expert Warns of Possible Catastrophic Effects of California Videogame Law

    So this entire thing is based off a prediction that retailers in the US will become too scared of litigation to stock M rated games? That's a very... flimsy excuse. An appeal to consequences can only be made if the consequences can be proven to be likely. And in this case, they can't.

    Extra Credits: No Redeeming Value

    While I agree with most of this review, the last bit frustrated me. That is, where the writers once again imply that linearity in the storyline of games is bad. I'll admit, maybe I'm just one of those people who is behind the times, but I've never been against a game just because I'm not given...

    The TF2 Spy & Sniper Update, your thoughts

    Since no-one pointed this out, I thought I might. As you see in the latest blog post, the system is actually broken and needs to be fixed. Those people playing for 10 hours without an unlock were the unlucky bug victims. So, hopefully when it's fixed, and the trade system comes out, people...

    Team Fortress 2: Sniper Update! Achivements up and....they went with the pee in the jar?! o_O

    I really like you guys. They seriously don't get the joke/point over there at the official forums, they're all angry. They felt really hyped up for this weapon, but I have a a simple statement for all of those people. "You've got a weapon that sticks people to WALLS, you have no right to...

    Poll: TF2 UPDATE, do you think the Razorback is real?

    You wouldn't believe that some people would be willing to sit down and try to calculate the calibre of the weapon, but calculate it they did. (It's about a .5.) Then they extrapolated it to suggest that it'll take off quite a lot more health than the gun it's replacing. I'm not sure about the...

    Poll: TF2 UPDATE, do you think the Razorback is real?

    I would hazard a guess that if it works, the sniper would be alerted in some way and proceed to gut you like sheep. That's how I'd do it anyway.

    Poll: TF2 UPDATE, do you think the Razorback is real?

    Ahem. http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/58658 I'm sorry if that breaks any sort of linking rules, but it needed to be posted.

    Poll: TF2 UPDATE, do you think the Razorback is real?

    We have no confirmation on what the achievements are for, so we can't really use that as an argument. However, I still consider the Shack News confirmation enough for me. If both classes are being updated, why would they lie to us, then switch to other sniper weapons? It makes little sense.
