    MTV Executives Worried Skins May Violate Child Pornography Laws

    Meh, the entire series is unnecessary anyway- from what I hear they pretty much copy pasted the script from English Skins season one, but set it in America. I liked English Skins (generation one anyway, before it all got so serious) but I can't see the need to remake something to this extent...

    Is PC gaming really worth it?

    Yes... But the computer I'm using now can do all of those things, save borderlands which I could play on the Xbox if I so desired. It cost me £250, and it's a laptop so I can use it anywhere. As far as I can see, there's no computing task save gaming which would necessitate more power than...

    Is PC gaming really worth it?

    Well yes, but so can a console right? DVD or BLU-RAY capabilities, media streaming (Netflix etc), social networking? Splitting gaming from other computing tasks lets me have an entry level laptop for work, the internet and other computing tasks whilst still being able to enjoy the most...

    Is PC gaming really worth it?

    Meh, you say that but my computer needs to be a laptop (as I'm a student, portability is key)- and to get a laptop that's console gaming spec is for more expensive than a desktop. Anyway, if you're buying a computer to play games at a console's graphics standard don't you remove one of the core...

    Is PC gaming really worth it?

    Halo- A good example in that virtually every player of online Halo uses the user generated content, and it's shared throughout the community. Anybody can pick up a controller and create a map or game variant, which could be played by thousands of people within the week. Bungie endorses and...

    Is PC gaming really worth it?

    Mouse- Yes, I can understand how that gives you greater aiming fidelity in a shooter. Keyboard- Duh-Whuh? In all the times I've tried to play an action game (say a shooter, a hack and slash, a fast paced puzzler) where the keyboard contains more than three of the buttons needed in regular...

    Is PC gaming really worth it?

    Customisability is all well and good, but in console land we still get to see it applied to a lesser extent where console games most benefit from it- the user created content communities of Halo 3/Reach being probably the best example. From another angle I can see how the plethora of free...

    Is PC gaming really worth it?

    This thread seems to be split into two halves: those who say having a mid/high range pc allows you to enjoy a good standard of gaming with moderate graphics capabilities, and those who sing the praises of having a "super rig" that can out-graphic a console or normal pc by miles. Most of both...

    Capcom Accused of Exploding Platformer Plagiarism

    It really would sadden me if nothing came of this- Capcom should have the book shoved right up their tight shitty arse, then detonated in a series of amusing explosions through two and a half dimensions. Like you said though, it's unlikely...

    Zero Punctuation: what games do you want to see reviewed??

    Good call on Command and Conquer 3, but does anybody else think that it's high time for him to destroy Runescape? Just a thought :P

    Zero Punctuation: what games do you want to see reviewed??

    Hmmm... The sequel to XBLA's "The Dishwasher", when it's released?

    World's best suggested paradox

    So it's more an assumption for the sake of convenience, based on maintaining the pattern set by more easily quantifiable numbers? Imprecise by nature but also kind of awesome- and way less of a cop-out than having a remainder floating around like a... Thing that floats... A duck! Thanks...

    World's best suggested paradox

    Hang on... you're saying that there's a hypothetical value which when multiplied by zero is equal to two? As I understood it, zero represents nothing- and however many nothings you have it still equates to nothing, right? As a maths student I find what you're saying, if correct, pretty damn...

    World's best suggested paradox

    Another way of visualising dividing... How many of one thing can you fit into another? Four divided by two is two, because you can fit two twos into four (and do a passable impression of an owl while you're at it). How many zeros can you fit into something? As many as you like; they have...

    Your Favourite British Thing(s).

    I rarely leave the country without my top hat, in its absence airport security is just so mundane...
