One that I've always been told by people in the police and security business is a big ass torch, preferably one of those metal ones that are really bright. This is for lots of reasons but mainly for 'intent' because that makes a big difference in the UK, I.E if you use a knife or something that...

Paxton Fettel from F.E.A.R. I don't know what it is about his name but it's just ridiculous. Whenever I've talked about this topic with my mates we always end up agreeing that Paxton is clearly the worst.

For me it would have to be tackling a cyclist as they are cycling towards me. I've told my friends about this one before, and they've physically stood between me and an oncoming cyclist because I had a 'look' in my eye. I think it's just because I'm interested in seeing if it would hurt as much...

Yeah, like I said you've gone for an ATI card which are generally cheaper for the same performance levels but that's personal preference on my behalf as I burnt one out a long time ago. Also the PSU you've got there is slightly less powerful, which probably accounts for the price difference...

Built this machine not long ago for a flatmate, runs really quietly and is very powerful. I used Nvidia and Intel graphics card and CPU simply because I have burnt out the only ati/amd products I've ever had so that's personal preference. Note that I'm not necessarily saying you should go with a...

I remember playing Doom when I was young, probably around 8 or so with my dad watching, helping me with the controls. Duke Nukem 3d followed shortly after, and I managed to turn the kiddy filter off all on my own. I think it's probably worth noting that these games wouldn't get an M or 18+...

I'd have to say snooker, you have to think ahead in the same way as chess but you also have to actually have the skill to make a shot and leave the ball in a place that benefits you. Then the games go on for a long time, hours at a time so you have to be able to maintain concentration for much...

Playing rugby and I was on the bottom of a ruck, some guy from the other team bit my the back of my thigh (I couldn't see him 'cause there were other players selfishly lying in the way). I was coated in mud so I hope at least I tasted bad.

Playing the PC beta of BC2 multiplayer, there is no prone button so crouch is bound to ctrl. Go into MW2 and all of a sudden I'm lying down instead of crouching. Took me about 20 minutes to get back into the swing of things!

There are a lot of videos on youtube for you to have a look at if you want to get in shape, although many of them are fairly area specific. If you want to do some stuff at home, just buy a set of free weights and a mat (I got all that for >£20) so that you don't get carpet burn from sit-ups and...

I grew up in a town just outside Manchester, and where I lived there were a lot of chavs who would kick off just for the sake of it, or to look hard in front of the equally chavtastic girls that they were knocking about with. If you have long hair they assume that you are a mosher/emo/goth etc...

"Enemy, Shilka, One Thousand." (ArmA, Flashpoint) Because you know that in around 30 seconds, hot anti-aircraft death is going to be raining down upon you and your hideously exposed squad-mates. Actually, pretty much anything from those two that isn't just your average trooper means death...
