    Open Relationships

    I know I think one person who's been able to pull an open relationship off, but that's about it. I think it requires a certain personality that not many people have to be able to make it work, and both people must be honestly ok with it for it to work. I know I wouldn't be able to. I'm far...

    Trailers: Star Wars: The Old Republic Fate of the Galaxy Trailer

    You're just jealous because your one-liners aren't as good as HK's.

    Trailers: Star Wars: The Old Republic Fate of the Galaxy Trailer

    I would have gay robot sex with HK-47. He's just that awesome.

    Remake an old game with this gen's technology. What do you go for?

    Deus Ex System Shock Half Life (Come on Black Mesa, release already!) Freelancer (Ok, not really THAT old, and still looks fairly decent) KOTOR Fallout 1 and 2 And probably a bunch more that I can't think of off the top of my head.

    Poll: Internet Censorship in Australia

    A) Where is my poll? I demand a poll! B) There is no way in hell this is going to get through... well ANY House of Parliament. The Liberals, Greens and pretty much all the independents have said they're going to block any plans for a nation-wide filter. I'll believe it when I see a...

    Why you MUST not use an ad blocker - unless you want to pay for content

    I stopped using AdBlocker a while ago, because it kept messing up forum and webpage layouts, plus it was annoying to set up. But this is something I've seen brought up by a few webcomic artists I read and some software developers I know, who rely on ads to pay for their hosts and keep their...

    Girls Would Love Heavy Rain, Says CliffyB

    Yeah, the attention span of an Xbox player! *hides* Hey, that's only when it's a game that isn't out on PC yet (or is a really shitty port)! PS: Please don't hurt me.

    Linux escapist users

    I've got an EeePC 1008HA that pretty much exclusively runs Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix (although I'll probably be dual-booting with Win7 next semester), and a 15" laptop that dual-boots Kubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7. For the netbook, UNR was a no-brainer. Much faster than Win7, the Clutter...

    UPDATE: Microsoft Announces Left 4 Dead 2

    Man, some people are way too touchy about this. Stop thinking "OMG I have to pay for a new game. How dare Valve make me pay for their hard work?!" and start thinking "Yay new, more awesome co-op zombie game!". All the stuff I've see and read of this so far points to it winding up to being even...

    STALKER: Call of Pripyat Features New Locales

    Mmm S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I must admit, for all their bugs (and there are a LOT of bugs) and unoptimised engines (and the engines were very unoptimised), the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games hold a special place in my heart. New content and a less buggy game engine could make this game something worthy. Eller

    BioShock Novel Coming This Year

    2K Games, who are owned by Take-Two. I have a bad feeling that this'll read like bad fan-fiction. Books based on games might sound great initially, but they rarely work. Eller

    Warner Bros. Whispers to the PC, "No"

    Am I one of the few people who actually LIKED The End is Nigh? Sure, it wasn't an epic masterpiece, but it looked very smooth, played fairly nicely, and was a good bit of fun. Maybe not US$30 fun, but steam had a couple of 25-50% discounts that made it a decent buy. It was like all the good...

    Poll: What browser do you use?

    Chrome. I <3 the minimal UI, it's fast, handles the Uni's Java-based proxy quite well (which causes FF to freeze when I have multiple tabs open), faster than FF when you use a lot of tabs, handles badly coded Javascript and Flash quite well, separate threads for each tab means that one shitty...
