    Is anyone else sick of the Willhelm scream?

    It always ruins immersion for me. I'm not sure if that's just because it's used at inappropriate times, because I'm aware of it, because I'm a film student or all three. But I do know I'm sick of it.

    So I finally figured out the problem with superhero comics

    While I do think this is a problem with comics I don't think it's the main reason for putting people off superhero comics but rather that their is such a large body of books for each character with no clear starting point. It's easier to find a good starting point now thanks to the Internet...

    Have old games aged well?

    I think it depends on a lot more than just the graphics seen as Goldeneye is still one of my favourite games of all time, but older 3D games do typically age a lot worse than 2D games ever really did.

    Half Life not that great?

    Poll: Lara and the Tomb raider controversy

    I feel the way the development team talk about the game is a kind of sexist and kind of demeaning to the audience.
