I'm a Final Fantasy XIV subscriber and it's a fantastic game. I know that MMOs aren't everyone's cup of tea, but if they are, it's one of the best out there. It's stuffed full of content at all levels from casual to hardcore and the localisation is fantastic, full of wit and charm. The...

Danny didn't save the day. Danny is dead. It was a projection of Danny from Clara's unconscious reflecting her own thought processes. All that happened was that Clara was shunted into another dream. Likewise the saccharine ending. Not so saccharine. Didn't everyone notice the tangerine...

Exactly! They were large land-based apex predators. Look at the large land-based apex predators we have now - lions, tigers and bears. They tend to have colouration that blends in with their surroundings, because it helps them to hunt. A feathered t-rex coloured like a grey wolf or a...

This is completely incorrect. The burden of proof would be upon the prosecution, should it be brought. Victims are not the prosecution, they are witnesses. Their accusations are evidence, to be considered with all other evidence, and they don't have to prove anything. I can't say this...

To be fair, lots of them still do. I'm not just talking about Facebook puzzle games, either. Those scorecards that pop up at the end of PVP deathmatches in many online games showing damage / healing / kills / deaths and so on is one example.

I'd adopt Ted from Suikoden. OK, so he's technically hundreds of years old, thanks to the Soul Eater rune, but that just means he'd be really, really good at being an adopted son (having done it so often) and would be really, really grateful for a happy home.

The end credits sequence of Final Fantasy VI, where you see little flashes showing all the characters makes me cry. I mean, literally I cry tears from my eyes. Every single time. It's usually either Shadow or Locke and Celes that sets me off.

Mage pants! Mages wearing trousers instead of satin ballgowns! I'm in!

I think you mean "penes" but yes, I absolutely agree. I think that anyone who thinks that women can't have fun, or that women destroy fun, are saying a lot more about themselves than anything. Some of them it probably comes from having no experience of a mixed workplace, or indeed any...

Point of information: Adria Richards didn't get anyone fired. All she did was comment on what she saw; the behaviour itself was what got those guys fired. Oh, and by the way she lost her job too. You have always, always been able to get fired for making a joke; it's called "bringing the...

I think there's also a fundamental misunderstanding here as to why law suits set the sum requested so high. No-one sues for this kind of thing and expects to get anywhere near what they ask for, even were they to win.

Who are you people, that you don't see how overpowered magic can be in Skyrim when played right? My first complete playthrough was as a mage. Almost all of my damage was done with destruction magic and staves. Dual-cast destruction staggers your opponent. Staggered opponents can't hit you...

What we know about Morrigan is she's a devious git, from a long line of devious gits, who is prepared to do whatever it takes to achieve what she needs to achieve. Wearing a dress in order to fit in to a particular circle - and do what she needs to do - is less extreme than shapeshifting.

I heartily second these recommendations. The Suikoden games are amazing if you like that turn based JRPG style play, there are lots of side quests and things to explore and the stories are really good too. 1 is a classic, 2 is one of my all-time top 10 games, 4 is fairly crap but 3 and 5 are...

"Oh noes, someone likes a thing I don't like!" You know what? People are allowed to have differing tastes and opinions. It doesn't have bugs, exploits or problems in design that make it unplayable. Lots of people do play it and enjoy it. Get over yourself.
