I'm running XP on a 10-year old laptop right now. It works like a charm! I rode out Vista and 7. I'll ride out 8 like a boss!

Personally, I don't give a fuck about the Olympics. I'm generally not fond of something that costs millions, brings the attention of the world upon us and we didn't actually ask for. The 24/7 media coverage doesn't exactly help, either.

Heya, Escapist. Many a year ago, I played a game. It was a hand-drawn point & click adventure game. Think of Machinarium. T'was on PC and would have been in the early 2000's. It was a side-scroller, too. Very atmospheric, almost gothic and disturbing. All I really remember of it is your...

I would post a link, but it's to some guy's Facebook profile, who just happens to have the same name as me.

I've got a helix piercing, thinking of getting another piercing somewhere. Also wanna get a tattoo. Plus, got a few scars on my back that were... slightly more than unintentional.

What we used to do at school, especially in the library, was to wrap a small rock in paper and casually toss it onto the next table along. Of course, this would create a huge THUMP! as it hit the table and they would get told off for it. We were rather sadistic, like that.

I try to break up face-to-face. She at least deserves that much for putting up with me and my eccentrics. It's common courtesy. Last time, however, did not go well... I punched her. Not a good move.

I'm a British citizen by birth and I scored 7/24. Makes me proud. (I'm also half-Ukrainian, so maybe that has something to do with it.)

Klaus! Bring ze flammenwerfer! Oh yes. Bunker full of foes? No problem. Forest in the way? No problem. Fancy a hogroast? No problem. It might be cruel, but it works.

Would you kindly give me that case?

I rather enjoyed both Portal games, but I must confess that I've never played a Legend of Zelda game. There's just something about them...

Call of Duty 4 through 7. OT: I would say the Pokemon games. There's just something I don't "get" with them. It was never a large part of my childhood, and I don't understand how people can give essentially the same game outstanding reviews. Also, Dead Rising. Between awful camera...

OT: I'd ignore Mr Lucas. Partly because he's probably a lot bigger and stronger than myself... ...and partly because I like all 6 films.

I am unemployed, so... Doctor? (I kid, I kid.) I had a job at a gun range once and I know how to handle firearms, but I'm far from an expert. If the worst comes to the worst, I can shoot something.

I've got one piercing in my ear and some 'effin deep scars on my back from my ex-girlfriend. ...plus, the usual scars from kitchen knives (and one from a water tank!), but nothing out of the ordinary. Apart from that, I'd like a tattoo of a Celtic Knot somewhere on my body, but I dunno where.
