I'd name my first son Raymond, after my late grandfather. If I had a second son, I'd call him Daniel/Danny, because I have a friend called Danny-Ray.

I agree with the commitment thing. I've gone into many clubs and small jobs, and quit them quite soon after, worrying myself about the disappointment of the current members. My long range eyesight is exceptional (to the extent of seeing a bird fly through a tree on the horizon, but I find it...

I only ever use Sheik in SSBM, and I normally win. I love Crysis to an unacceptable level. I have yet to finish a single handheld Zelda game or complete an RPG game. I understood Bomberman 64 (not a mean feat). I never managed to complete Jet Force Gemini, because of what I called a...

I bought a PSP a while back. I played it for a bit, playing it again each time a game worth my attention came out and then stopped. The PSP, for me at least, has nothing worth raving about. If I want to access the internet, I use my computer. If I want to play a console game, I use the PS2...

The Ricky Gervais Podcast is most likely superior in every way.

Vista HP on my desktop (with SP1 RC1), XP on my laptop (If I could afford Vista on it, I would put it on). That being said, I would like to dual-boot on my desktop with Vista and Linux, although It's most likely pointless. Had Windows 98/ME, they both sucked. More crashes than destruction...

All 5. My 'Pinky' is strong from 10-11 years of playing the piano (9" stretch between thumb + little finger), along with 2 years of Guitar. Also, I have a habit of tapping thigs all the time; It really annoys everyone around me. The 'pinky' is very hard to make strong, so I can see why many...

Quake4 on hard with only a the pistol, machine gun and shotgun. Now that's something I'm proud of. Also, killing 7 of my fellow clanmates in a 9v2 game of CS:S on de_dust2.

The likelyhood is that large games (9GB+) will be released either on a double layer DVD or via download. Even then, 2 Dual layer DVDs can contain 20GB, so we'll probably see something similar to what used to be done with CDs.

A classic line from a noble man. No man shall brave battle without first being uttered these words. I agreed with most of what you said, but theres one thing that bugs me about CoD4, and I cant quite put my finger on it. It's probably a combination of a lack of global physics and the fact...

Nice review style, nice and brief, quite good. Perhaps proof-reading or going over the use of the words "your" "you're". Didn't find any difficulty hard, although I did die a couple of times on veteran. You didn't include anything about the cinematics or the theme of the game, something that...

Maybe brevity is the answer. Maybe "paragraphs" is a better one. Good review, although it was daunting being confronted with a wall of text with no breaks.

Always the medium/long range assault rifles or sniper rifles. In most games I find getting headshots easier when you can observe the target's movement closely, without looking right at it's face. The AK-like weapon in Crysis with a sniper scope is definitely one of my favourite examples. It's...

I've never tried using a trackball, as I've never felt it would help me in any way. Some people use them because they feel it requires less wrist movement; My mouse is so sensitive that I only need to move my index/middle fingers in and out or my thumb/forefinger side to side to achieve the most...

Body Harvest Buck Bumble Glover Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon Those were classics. I get all nostalgic thinking about them.
