Statistically they are guaranteed to exist in some form, whether intelligent or just bacteria. By our current knowledge of physics, interstellar travel is completely impossible unless we perfect some form of perserving life for thousands of years, and even then by the time we get to another...

As a Touhou and anime fan I'm sadly going to agree with you on that one, just google image the name of a Touhou character even with safe search on and prepare the mind bleach. And while I love anime I really hate people who say its unique and get all fanboyish about specific shows/characters...

Personally, I would move, even though it seems over what would be a minor issue to some people, its one of my favourite forms of entertainment, and we all know banning one thing tends to be a slippery slope in politics anyway.

First day of year 8 music, new teacher has a set of keys with a Simpsons keychain. I ask her if she likes the Simpsons, I proceed to get kicked out of class and given detention. Fun times.

While I'll agree with you if you are talking about Dawn of War 2 (It was mediocre at best), may I ask; if you are talking about Dawn of War 1, is the reason you dislike it is because it is slow? Because its probably one of the fastest RTS's out there. Myself, I'm going with Dragon Age; WoW...

I payed approximately $1200 AUS (Custom Built) for my desktop one and a half years ago, and $1000 AUS (Retail) for my laptop 6 months ago, as long as your not doing anything absolutely stupid witth it its basically never going to overheat enough for it to be damaged, and when it does the laptop...

Hey now, they arn't as good as desktops, but going so far as to call them crap? My desktops slightly beefier than my laptop, but guess which I use more since they can both run almost any game on full quality anyway?

Good review, two problems though. Firstly you say the goal of the game is to rule the country, and while you can do that if you want, the game has absolutely no goals whatsoever, its like minecraft in the sense that its as much fun as you make it. Secondly, you say "as it's in first...

Yep, same here, complemented the chinese stealth suit a bit too well though, having a <level 5 character killing almost anything in the game kinda ruined Fallout 3 for me. :P

It does seem to be more prevalent in FPS's and consoles, although more because consoles and FPS's have higher proportion of people who wouldn't consider gaming as hobby. Personally I think losing non-stop can be fun as long as you still have some possible action, things like group spawn camping...

I built a scale model (each cube is 1 metre cubed) of Belvoir Fortress http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/d1749405-cb33-4b8a-83e1-90c74fb98050/uploadedartwork/650X650/a7fc9e75-ff63-4642-b087-40b69a99d970.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Dan76/Belvoir-Castle/Belvoir/belvoir_1.jpg...

Pan's Labyrinth, along with having one of the most creepy monsters in anything I have seen.

No, just no, PC gaming has been going from strength to strength over the last few years, particularly thanks to cheaper parts and digital distribution, alongside higher public internet speeds. The only people who say that are console elitists, people who believe the PIRACY IS RUINING THE...

Spore. Waited over 5 agonizing years after seeing an early preview in a magazine, and when it was realeased I basically gave up on buying games before "demoing" them.
