This +1. I don't know about forcing people to watch the trip though. Perhaps making it an option but giving players the option to skip the trip kinda like Red Dead Redemption is the way to go? Developers need to appeal to as many people as possible after all.

HTC Trophy... Windows Phone 7. Not bad, but I'm wishing I'd held out for the HD7.

Pretty sure it was a FIFA game, but it was ages ago so I can't really remember. What I CAN remember is stabbing a wardrobe door repeatedly with a screwdriver.

6 Days, 7 nights. This was back when I first developed tinnitus and I just had no idea how to handle it... by the end of it I was seeing things and INCREDIBLY jumpy. Finally my body just gave out and I collapsed on the kitchen floor, waking up in my bed 2 days later (no idea how I'd gotten there).

Hang on... haven't older CoD games actually featured Nazis? Weren't those Nazis wearing their swastikas? So how is it suddenly offensive that actual players can wear a swastika when computer controlled opponents have been getting away with it for years?

Computer - Punch & Judy on the Commodore 16 Console - Missile Command on the Atari 2600

I picked up the new XBox 360 (Slim, if you want to call it that) pretty much on the night of its release, trading in my old XBox 360 Pro and ponying up $120 AUD. I'm happy with the purchase. I use wireless N at home to get on the network; doesn't make any difference for online gaming since my...

Alright, so basically the biggest stumbling block is that Australia doesn't have an R18+ (Restricted, 18 years and older) classification for games. We do for other media, just not games: the concept being (originally, at any rate) that games are for kids and therefore an R18+ rating is...

Jason: generally accepted as meaning "healer", being the latinised form of the greek Iason (from iasthai, meaning "to heal"). The name also appears in the Hebrew Bible in which it is assumed to be a variant of Joshua meaning "Yahweh/God is salvation".

Do any of your friends already have Assassins Creed? If so, tell your dad you've been left with no choice and you're going to whore yourself out to make the money to buy the game. Two days later, borrow the game and walk home beaming proudly at your new purchase. You just have to promise...

Thank God _someone_ posted about Lexx. I read through the first page of replies and hadn't seen anything... my jaw had dropped in horror and dismay. Lexx was awesome. Aside from Dr. Who its the only sci-fi show I legitimately own (which, of course, means its the only one I own *ahem*).

White Wolf. World of Darkness/Vampire the Masquerade is one of the most well fleshed out vampire stories I've ever read. I also like the Legacy of Kain story, but I'm probably made somewhat biased by what is quite possibly the best voice acting in any game. Ever. 3rd place? Anne Rice's...

Get an ultrasound of them when they still have their vestigial tail; explain to them later in their childhood that they were born with a tail and are different to other kids. Or... Get a room under a stair case, line the walls with foetus-looking babies in jars with water. Tell them they...

6 days. It wasn't related to gaming in any way though, except for the fact that I did play a lot of of games to kill the time. I'd just heard that you go crazy if you stay awake for a fortnight so I wanted to test the theory... judging my the paranoia I was experiencing, and the fact I was...

I'd be inclined to say, no, you shouldn't convert to Islam. Not for any reason relating to Islam itself, but just because you're asking about it on an online forum. Your choice of religion is a personal choice, you'll follow whatever you believe to be true and if a bunch of strangers on a...
