Well, I think the thing about Apple(and the over zealous fanboys they attract who, certainly, make a lot of people wary of ALL Mac users)and their lifestyle products is that they have nothing to sell them BUT style over content and people who choose dorm over function and fluff over value have...

Pandas are fine-but I'm with you 100% on the dolphin issue. They are one of the very few other animals actually capable of fucking up another species for a laugh(have you seen them play head tennis with little porpoises for example? They are NOT eating their smaller relatives)yet they get a...

Hell, I'm no fan fiction expert but have written(relatively successfully)pretty much anything else you an imagine from press reports to a novel via poetry and, of course, what anyone says about knowing what you write about is(99% of the time)totally true but, while most people find a structured...

Well, I concur on the acting and dialogue-even agree that some of the writing made great characters 'til it fell apart a little. However, I can't agree that the game part was "alright" because I felt they totally left the "game" out of the package. Platforming was non-existent in terms of ANY...

I'm with you and, oddly for me, JS as well. I've been arguing a TON of the same points he's brought up here while also coming across a billion of the turkeys voting for Xmas that Baresark seems to be on about with hi all-too-true "Stockhom Syndrome" reference. Fact is a shedload of gamers...

I think that wouldn't happen anyway as Sony, not Insomniac, own the IP for R&C so if there's to be new ones they'll either have to be PS exclusives by Insomniac or by another studio for Sony but never on an MS platform but I take your point and feel MS are being babies over this one.

Indeed. I don't think we even had "social" when I was young and I think the only people who had "networks" were terrorists. How did we ever cope without mobile phones, Facebook etc and STILL manage to have teenage pregnancies, bullying and embarrass ourselves on a daily basis? Oh, what's...

Well, I've bought a lot of games that I plain never really liked a lot but the game I regret buying the most is an actually GOOD game. Sure, i BOUGHT Alone in The Dark:Inferno just because I thought it tried to be ambitious(which it did, it just didn't work)which was a waste but L4D 360 is the...

I can''t see it working and will take no part in it whatsoever. In fact, this is the last word I'll say on the matter as it stinks to me.

If you ring for help(assuming you didn't pull him out as you're too weak because if there'd be massive danger of you joining him if you DID help personally then it's no crime not to, or try to, pull him out)then you're swwet and golden but if you KNOW you could save him by calling out or ringing...

I have NEVER heard the TES series(or ANY of the games in it) called "scrolls" by ANYONE, EVER. I have a proper,intense HATRED of Minecraft on a personal level and wouldn't side with an underdog(just as I don't support the continuity IRA just because there aren't very many of them and they have...

I don't mind Burton as long as there@s a point to where his movie's going. I agree that he DOES go down the "look how mental I am!" for entertainment road at times and often when idiosyncratic doesn't suit the story or helps the audience miss the point altogether. I'd also agree that Ed wood...

But that's his point-he,(and I'm TOTALLY with him even though I enjoy co-op, MP and SP equally)doesn't want CAMAIGNS ruined by the fashion for co-op or MP style scoring ranks as it detracts(esp in a tense or survival horror)from the story and the immersion. Look at the way a SP gamer had to put...

It wasn't a GOOD game though. Vanquish is how you do a non MP shooter-a game where the core mechanics are sorted and lend themselves to beating your mates scores whereas B'storm was poor because to do many skill kills you needed the enemy to be in groups and you had no way, barring luck, of...

Well, I'm often bed bond and ALWAYS housebound(virtually always)and my illness means I can't even concentrate well enough to watch TV let alone read any longer. Being bedridden just makes the depths of my manic depression(I'm also Bipolar as well as suffering from Crohns and Colitis)ever worse...
