    Poll: Historical Inaccuracies in Games

    I would normally say most definitely always BUT there's nothing wrong with adding a bit of imagination into the mix. For example, fantasies/science-fictions. The former is -usually- set in something like medieval times but with added dragons and powerful wizards, and then we've got steampunk...

    Your Halloween - How Was It/Waddya Do?

    My mother and auntie got steamin' drunk and decided to play with my mother's ouija board. So, they, my two male friends and their roomie, my father and the dog all sat around said ouija board, which my auntie drew a 'circle' around it in chalk on the living room carpet. They sat asking Elvis if...

    Favorite Webcomic

    Totally. You know what else is really interesting about that comic? Watching how Jeph Jacques's art improves and changes so much from start to present. It's so subtle as you read from start to finish, but you see just how much it's improved over the near decade it's been around which is pretty...

    What do you think happened to Madeleine Mcann

    And for the record I'll just third it, haha. I remember talking about this in class whenever it first emerged too. It's strange to think that it happened five years ago and she'll still get the occasional mention on the news if it's a slow news day. Now for the real reason I commented...

    Yahtzee, Jim Sterling, Moviebob, the guys from Extra Credits, AND your pet tarantula are drowning!

    [Applauds!] Oh man, that was brilliant, dear. But yeah, if those dudes had have been up there as a choice, I would have picked them in a heartbeat. Sorry, MovieBob.

    Poll: Father in rural Germany finds his young son likes to wear dresses; does the same to show solidarity.

    I agree wholeheartedly with you here, actually. And the part that I highlighted in bold there is so, so true. It's ridiculous and downright disgusting how teachers will be ignorant and even rude over many things in general, not looking at the issue at hand specifically. I hope I made sense...

    Poll: Father in rural Germany finds his young son likes to wear dresses; does the same to show solidarity.

    What an awesome da. Makes me think of Richard O'Brien; I absolutely love the man. I certainly think that people should wear whatever they want (within reason, without sounding too hypocritical. You know those short shorts that seem to be in fashion now? I... really don't want to see a...

    Yahtzee, Jim Sterling, Moviebob, the guys from Extra Credits, AND your pet tarantula are drowning!

    MovieBob, unlike Yahtzee, doesn't waffle on and on about things I could easily look up by myself and/or uses lengthy analogies that don't make the slightest bit of sense unless I've experienced their respective mediums. That is to say, if I haven't played the game or watched the film, I'm not...

    Food that everyone dislikes that you like

    I eat kiwi skins. Erm... well, it's more the way I eat kiwis in general. Most people cut them in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon but not me; I just take a bite out of them and eat them like apples. Haha, my aunt would happily eat them like that as well. I tried it out of...

    You get to remove one word from the English language

    But, see, 'lol' isn't a word; it's an abbreviation (which is why I hate it being used as well, actually)! Same with things like 'YOLO' (ugh). Though, funny fact, 'loll' is a word; same phonetics as the abbreviation 'laugh out loud', or 'lots of love'. 'Loll' means 'to lounge'. For example, 'I...

    The Three Kings ('Temptation Game')

    Hey there, guys. Long time, no type, huh? I've been resting up a bit after a couple of hectic weeks (being lazy after a convention weekend followed by a full-time film week, that is) and have been lurking about the Internet. Earlier on in the week, I was on YouTube, watching...

    Favorite voice actors?

    After reading this, I love that woman even more! Tim Curry's great, so's Richard Horvitz, Kath Soucie and the late Paul Lynde. There are plenty more where that came from too. EDIT: How in the hell could I forget Richard O'Brien? I absolutely adore that man. More of a writer and actor than...

    How much revision can you manage a day?

    Haha, oh man; I could never revise. The only thing I really revised for was a Technology and Design GCSE (that was a wee while ago) for three hours in total. When it was coming up to my ICT A2, I kept thinking to myself, 'I should probably flick through my text book'. Eventually, I opened it...

    Oldest game that you played recently.

    Oh my God, someone else who has played it. I remember whenever I first installed that on the Windows XP after years of not playing it since the Windows 95... my God, it goes at lightning speed! Eh, what I've played recently aren't all that old. Last night, though it was on an emulator on the...

    Poll: Do You Really want Games to be art?

    This, for the most part. OT: I am under the impression that many developers feel the need to have their games recognised art so much that they end up ruining it. Sort of like when you feel the need to add more and more to a painting but end up ruining it instead. Hm. Not sure if that was the...
