My father is Optimus Prime? What... how...?

My parents can try to game, and put a damn good effort in, but they just don't get 'game logic' you know? Unless it's a game grounded in reality, like a racing game or a shooter (and those are only the realm of dearest Dad) or something based around physics or logic puzzles, something doesn't...

I know so many tree, gardener and plant related puns it's unreal. You know the local gardener? He's my best bud. Get out of that tree and leaf it alone. That tree spoke to you? You're barking. Maybe I'll twig and realise tree puns aren't funny. Perhaps I should bough out. I'm...

Dude, Prime was only a fire engine in the anime series Robots in Disguise and the recent US series Transformers Animated. He was... actually, I don't know exactly what kind of truck he was, but it was a cab over engine, I know that much. Personally, I'm looking forward to it, but I'm...

On a very broad scale, hats and jackets/coats. More specifically, a collection of Watchmen-badge-bearing trilbies, a Stetson, an RAF trench coat, a black denim duster coat, a pair of Edwardian-style jackets, and a blazer inspired by 'The Prisoner'. Accessory-wise, a sort of... segmented ring...

Harry Potter, but only if I can bend the rules and have Harry and everyone else who comes from Muggle-land be human. Kermit the Frog as Dumbledore would be freakin' epic. That'd be the best film in the history of film. Would the dialogue be preserved or would it be changed to create a...

I like my starter to be female, because there's only 25% chance of that. It also means I can *cough* whore them out to people seeking to breed moves onto baby starters. Otherwise, I'm not fussy, although I have a preference for balancing the gender ratio on my team.

Optimus Prime, Eeyore, and the Predator are all voiced by the same guy. There are two comic-book characters called Dennis the Menace, one created in the US and the other in the UK. Even more bizzarely, they were both published for the first time within hours of each other.

Not to mention giant robots of any flavour. I hear chicks dig them. Also, we've forgotten the other branches of marine reptiles from the prehistoric age! Plesiosaurs and the extensively badass Pliosaurs (home to the biggest animal that eats other animals ever), all hail!

Just recieved an e-mail from Cryptic, thought it would count as news. Champions Online will become free to play in 2011. Which is good, I guess, because it means I can whet my appetite for DCU Online without breaking the bank. Thoughts on it, y'all?

Bra-fucking-vo, sir. The above statement recieves my seal of approval. And on-topic, stupid and ever-so-slightly damaging to the group he wants to represent and defend man is stupid etc. Perhaps Denby could have kept himself above the lowest common denominator and avoided this farce, but then...

Hm. Well, the second-stage Grass and Water starters are almost certainly real, because they've appeared on an almost certainly (e.g featuring unnanounced character and Pokemon designs revealed officially shortly afterwards) genuine anime character sheet. No idea about the Fire ones though. Nor...

Yep, never miss the bowl... Oh, wait, with GUNS now? Never touched one. I'd assume, however, that I'd be mediocre to good with most, and excellent with a single variety of weapon that I chose to focus on.

I have two problems with this statement - one, games companies have done far worse to each other through advertising in the past. I recall the "Genesis does what Nintendon't" slogan as the most flagrant example. B, Yahtzee is not a professional troll, he is a comedian who uses rage as a source...

I went with 6-7, but I'd say a 7.5. It all depends on what I've done with myself - if I've shaved, worn my glasses, done X with my hair, what I'm wearing and so on.
