    Looking for suggestions for a timesink game.

    This was going to be my answer - I probably put over 500 hours into Terran Conflict in a single playthrough. I remeber how pleased with myself I was the first time I designed a complex that produced microchips and silicon wafers without me having to do ANYTHING to it - apart from an initial...

    Sony Revokes Fallout 4 Season Passes Obtained Through EU Pricing Error

    To me that simply amounts to theft. Make all the grovling apologises you want but if the fuck up is YOURs then you get to have to live with it. This BS that corperate law and legality is somehow retractable after the fact fills me the want to vomit. Try having a go at "I bought your game by...

    J.J. Abrams "Made a Mistake" With Leia in Force Awakens

    Yeah . . . . I mean I don't think anyone's pretending that it's opened up a new paradigm in the movie buisness but cmon . . . I for one (and I really dont give a shit how much of a plebian it makes me) enjoyed the movie and thought it was a return to form for the star wars series after the...

    These Films Should Have Won "Best Picture," Rotten Tomatoes Says

    Boom. So much boom. I so despise the attitude that "because it was considered great then it must be great now". I have no doubt that back in the days when CK was made it was something that could hold an entire audeince in thrall. But now? No. It's the whole "standing on the shoulders of...

    Poll: Would you hit a woman in self defence(If it were Ronda Rousey)

    I'd punch the fuck outta her. And 'fraid to say, if you don't think you should, you're the people that don't get to be the "fittest" in Darwin's survival of the. If anyone makes their intentions clear to physically harm you then I don't give a shit about sex, race, religion or anything else...

    These Films Should Have Won "Best Picture," Rotten Tomatoes Says

    How about we just go with the following: "If you don't like what I like then fuck yourself". So tired of this whole 'I need to be validated in my like/dislike of "whatever the fuck"'. Every awards show these days is just "industry name here" sucking off its own cock and I really dont give...

    Study: Robots Expected to Replace 5 Million Jobs By 2020

    It's much easier to polarise people if you play to the ignorant fallacy of their being no middle ground. A capitalism vs. communism debate never gets very far. Moderation is key. Are we all supposed to pretend that: 1. Western style capitalsim is flawless. 2. The ONLY alternative is live in...

    Interrupting People

    "They assume what they have to say is actually worth ten pence." ----> suggesting that their form of discussion/opinion is worth less than yours -------> ego? And why should you have an "incredibly high opinion (of yourself)" in order to think that what you have to say is worth saying? No...

    Interrupting People

    So it's not *you* that's the problem it's the other guy for trying to articulate their thoughts their own way and not precisely in the way that *you* would say it. Right. Gotcha. It's plainly rude tbh - I mean everyone does it from time to time but don't try to justify it by claiming you're...

    The state of the US prison system.

    So i guess the idea that the justice system should have a proportional response to the crime committed is something you disagree with? Hence 3 counts of petty theft is equal to raping someone or beating them half to death?

    Poll: Civility of discussion with others on the site.

    Yeah - it's one of the reasons I very rarely post anymore. Not that I was a prolific poster even "back in the day" but it just seems either A: nobody gives a damn about what I write - possibly no one even reads it or B: you get caught up in some pointless pseduo-intellectual bs with some...

    Witcher 3's Expansions Will be Almost The Size of Witcher 2

    Putting this in spioler tags since it refers to the above post. Awesome stuff.

    In Witcher 3, Size Matters

    It was (or at least the lore of it) written by a polish man having been born just post WWII and grew up during the Cold War. What are you expecting? I hate the idea that this is even a thing. No - people of different skin colours don't exist in the witcher games. Why is this something that...

    Hulk preparing to leg drop Gawker over Sex-tape

    I suppose the idea being (analagous to the idea that a woman should be able to wear what she wants without being thought of as "culpable" to a rape or assaualt) that what consenting adults do shouldn't have to be censored because of what other scummy shits *might* do with it. It shouldn't be...

    Hulk preparing to leg drop Gawker over Sex-tape

    Yeah - give the man his money. You shouldn't get to steal from someone, profit from their humilaition and/or suffering and then just carry on as normal. Anyone who thinks doing this is ok is the lowest scum of "journalist". Fuck it this isn't even journalism - this is criminal. How about...
