The Elder Scrolls V, The Elder Scrolls V! FUS-RO-DAAAAAAAAAAAAH! (The Elder Scrolls V) I used to wonder what adventuring could be (The Elder Scrolls V) And then I took an arrow to the knee!

I can actual understand this. Red is like a "failure" colour, it often indicates that something is bad. Video games are a good example of this - negative responses are nearly always highlighted in red (eg. you lost 100 points for shooting the civilian that jumped out of nowhere). So when a...

As much as I agree with you, there's no point in buying a new CoD game if it's going to be more or less the same as the last one. Why not just play MW2 again? Maybe you get some new maps to play on and a couple of tweaks here and there but is it really worth the full price of the game? There are...

OK, it's called "Slavery: The Game". If that didn't make it enough of an obvious joke then the Willhelm scream in the trailer should indicate that it's not serious... At least that's what I hope.

I feel a similar way. I have lots of really great friends that I love so I've got companionship. What else do you get from a relationship? Sex? Well, I can see the appeal but it certainly makes "love" seem a lot less magical. I guess I just have yet to properly experience these things but it...

Sounds like you're the grumpy-pants if you ask me. Complaining that people are so negative is such a negative thing to say. Turn that frown upside down!

Damn, so many good songs to choose from. Just to be different, I'm going to say "Uno". It's one of my favourite lesser known songs. EDIT: I just listened to it again and realised that it's probably one of my favourite Muse songs in general (I say "one of" because there are so many that I like)...

PETA's clearly out of touch. Everyone knows Rule 34. In other news, PETA is crazy. Who knew?

Nintendo does realise that the 3DS is the successor to the DS, right? It seems odd that they would focus on the 2D when the main reason to buy a 3DS over a regular DS was because it was 3D. If I'm not even going to get to use the 3D effect much then I really have no reason to upgrade. I love...

I'm an atheist. I can't say that I've studied every religion so I can't say for sure that I'm right but I also find it ridiculous that a god (or gods) would expect me to spend my whole life researching every possible religious denomination in an adequate amount of depth just so that I could...

I don't think it's right but it sounds like he was pretty drunk. I'd say under those circumstances, I might let it slide if he genuinely felt bad about it too. Still, I totally don't condone any kind of sexual assault and I think he should still tell the girl what he did and apologise to her...

If you have any experience then it will count in your favour. There were a good few people on my course who had more experience than me but there were also plenty of people with very little experience. People also have experience in different things so it's not a direct competition. Obviously...

It's hard to say exactly what counts as "maths" but I'd say roughly 25% of the course is maths focused. I mean, anything involving computers is more or less based on some kind of maths... so, yeah. I can't really say what they liked about my personal statement - I never got any feedback on it...

Hey, I knew there'd be someone! I really enjoyed my course for the first year. I feel that I learned a lot over a range of useful areas - I even got to do a unit on computer games. I chose RH because it's known for good research quality in the subject (among other things) and they didn't let me...

Well I live in the UK where the education system is a little different but I gather that a "college" is the equivalent of a university in the UK. And yes, I do go to a university. More specifically, I study BSc Computer Science at Royal Holloway University of London and am starting my second of...
