    Zero Punctuation: Webcomics

    Given Tim's record, that last comment of his surprised me. I've gone off CAD, now the only thing that makes me genuinely laugh webcomic-wise is the fantastic xkcd.

    The Army (Specifically the Canadian Forces)

    [This may turn into a general discourse on the military, be warned!] [Second warning: before I am flamed by pacifists, while I am pro-military, I am anti-war. There is a difference.] The military changes you, for better or for worse. I was only a cadet, but after my five years there I was...

    The first game you played

    The original C&C or Total Annihilation (which I still play). Happy Days.

    Games That Deserve Sequels

    A sucessor to Freelancer would be nice - they set it up at the end for a sequel that never came

    What's Your Geeky Ringtone?

    I've got the noise the Book makes from The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy Radio Series. It's a great way to connect with similarly minded geeks in a crowd and your phone goes off... My dad has the ASDIC (sonar) ping which is fairly geeky as well, but also cool.

    Games That Deserve Sequels

    Poll: Laptop or PC

    I only use a laptop because I have no space for a desktop. Thankfully it has an independent graphics card, not an integrated one, so gaming is possible and an absolutely sublime screen which is the only thing I've found so far (and can afford) that can do justice to Blu-ray movies.

    Worst Computer Problem Ever

    Right: In my time I have had all sorts of strange, often not fully explained and expensive PC problems: 1. Dodgy HD gave up every few weeks and meant I had to reinstall windows every time 2. Bad RAM catching fire ("Is it supposed to smell like that?") 3. CoolWebSearch spyware. Took a good...

    Games you wonder if anyone else has played...

    Uplink? One of the most atmospheric, nail-biting games I've played, despite (perhaps even because) being essentially a text adventure written by one bloke in his bedroom.

    TES V, New Ideas

    I've been playing since it was released and still haven't finished it! I am a massive Elder Scrolls fan, but to be honest I wouldn't be sad if Bethesda called it a day now. The games, particularly Morrowind are now in the hands of the community, which is doing things with the game that I...
