My conscience doesn't affect me in games, cos, you know, the whole escapism issue, but in real life? It's running overtime! I feel guilt for so much as thinking about lying. Probably why I'm so terrible at it. That's only the beginning too. I feel guilt for pretty much everything that I see...

I suppose it's kind of appropriate, isn't it? As a splicer, you're supposed to have been driven insane by the use of plasmids and what's more insane than a little teabagging? And I'd have thought that Big Daddies would be like the Jedi in Star Wars: Battlefront 2, where you just randomly get...

My question is how "interactive" will it actually be? Surely in this day and age there's a limit on programability. You'd need to digitally create a human brain to create a seamless interaction. We don't even entirely understand the human brain. It'd take years, if not decades to create a...

I really, really hope the monthly ones will be good. My childhood memories will NOT be shattered by shoddy game design! (having said that, the last time I played Monkey Island 1 was only a few months ago. I love that game so much) And remaking the original? HELL YES!

If I had, there'd be a few interesting questions in that store, and I imagine somebody might get fired...

HAZE hasn't got a lot of hatred, per se, but people don't really seem to like it. I get that it's generic, and not really an amazing shooter by any means, but I really enjoyed it, (except for the disgustingly-unsubtle plot devices. Seriously, you could spot them a mile away and they more or less...

When I was buying a game (I can't remember what it was, maybe Final Fantasy XII) the clerk was trying to talk me into buying disc insurance, which is $5 AUS. Not much at all. I politely decline, and he retorts with this: "But what if you accidentally drop it in a blender?" I had to give...

Just so we can make this entirely clear, my pet peeve is when people use 'a' when 'an' is appropriate. Obviously there are cases where it's not. In my books, 'an historian' and 'an horrendous' is correct. It sounds more appropriate to me. I don't know if you're American or not because your...

No, you still pronounce the 'h'. The rule is that if there is a vowel after an 'h' at the beginning of a word, 'an' is correct, rather than 'a'. Technically, 'an hole' is also correct, but you're right, that sounds more than a little weird. This is one of those rules with lots of exceptions...

Actually, you're right. I should have thought about it for a little longer before posting. It's good sometimes, kind of terrible other times. Oh, and I don't care if you call me a moron. It's the internet. Who really cares what I'm called here? Meh, nobody's perfect.

Mary Shelley and Audrey Niffenegger. Both good books. I'm going to plug for a little-known trilogy called 'The Great Game', by Dave Duncan. How obscure is this trilogy? I picked all three of them up for 50 cents (AUS) and it was at a bookshop, not even a sale. They're heavily religious (it's...

Yes! Grammar Nazi's unite! I have a bit of a pet peeve for split infinitives too, ever since I found out what they were. Also, using 'a' when 'an' is appropriate, like 'an horrendous mistake' spoken as 'a horrendous mistake'. The first one is correct, the second one is not. It's not that hard...

Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers on PS2. In the last level you have to defeat two trolls before they break down the barricade in front of the last bastion in Helm's Deep. Somehow I managed to beat them at the EXACT same time they broke down the barricade. The game didn't know what to do and...

Aussie, and I won't speak for the whole country for the sake of freedom of opinion, but I reckon Sneaky Sound System is awesome out of NSW. (Yes, I do indeed have a crippling fear of offending anybody on the net)

The only webcomc I have actually bought the book of, and it was a very worthwhile purchase. Only thing I'd add to the review is the sheer amount of nerdy references, going FAR beyond just WoW. Great review of a great webcomic. I applaud you
