    Poll: Bicycle Helmets

    I'll tend towards doing it, but then again it's illegal not to wear one in Australia.

    Starcraft II is now free to play.

    From what i've seen it's mostly just an extended demo that lets you play multiplayer. You only get the first 4 campaign missions, access to terrans only in multiplayer and only 4 multiplayer maps.

    Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum

    I did ask to be redwarfed but you seem to have missed me. Unless I missed you redwarfing me, which is probably more likely. But if you did miss me i'd like to be redwarfed as either Bob or Watda, your choice.

    Let's Play: Galactic Civilizations 2

    Well then, a class 18. Thats a nice looking planet, even if it has no tile bonuses. Also, I agree with your suggestion of a starport, I seem to have been founded a fair way from our central territories and a starport will let us expand very fast in that area. Plus, I might end up on the...

    Let's Play: Galactic Civilizations 2

    When you find a planet suited for economy, I'd love to have it named after me. That way I don't need to have it do stuff while still being part of the game :D

    Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum

    I wouldn't mind being re-dorfed. My last life was a touch, how do you say, embarrassing? Damn goblin birds. Anyway I'll take the name Bob, assuming someone else hasn't used it.

    Politician causes outrage over "rape" comments

    Yeah I'm with you on this. I've always found the way many crimes are all pidgeon holed into one senticing structure to be silly and your examples above are good ones. Obviously serious offenses should be dealt with harshly, but the lact of flexibility to those who do relatively minor versions of...

    How easy is it to become a PC gamer?

    without actually specifications for your laptop, we can't really give you an answer. if you can find out what cpu, video card and how much ram you have, then we can answer. that said, laptops are not often made for gaming and if it wasn't bought for gaming originally then your brother is...

    Das Paradox

    This is one of those annoying questions that aren't as simple as they first appear due to probability being evil. The answer is change panels. The reasoning? Each panel has a 33% chance of being right, thus whatever you choose you have a 66% chance of being wrong. Removing one panel...

    Duke Nukem Forever has an interactive glory hole.

    I tried getting the Balls of Steel edition for PC, but apparently it's completely sold out in Australia. Honestly, the one game you'd never expect to make it into this country and I can't even get the best version of it.

    The Best Book/Book Series You've Ever Read?

    Seeing some of the responses in these sorts of threads always makes me sad to realise I've read so many awesome books and series which you guys have listed and yet I barely remember many of them. OT: Geodesica Ascent/Descent. A bit of a weird pair of books but the ending of it just hit me so...

    most annoying thing about steam?

    Its easy to fix, start your game, alt-tab out go into steam, right click the download and pause it then start it again and it'll begin downloading again and you can go back to your game. As to why it does this, I'm not sure. There are a couple of theories out on the interwebs you can look up...

    Poll: Necromorphs vs Flood

    Yeah nids hands down. Nothing can stop them, at least not for long

    Duke ''Vapourware'' Nukem and Australia

    I take great offense at this. I don't know anyone in SA that is like that, and you lot are deluded if you think atkinson had the power to refuse games classification. All he ever did was block reforms of the classification system. Any state could of had an idiot like him and since we're the...
