    The most emberassing thing you've done?

    Oh God I was in fits for about 5 minutes for that one. Thank you so much. The best part is I know the intonation of that particular "YEAH?" and how inappropriate it is in a quiet room. Christ, I can actually hear it and I'm off again. Brilliant.

    5 Game Endings that are worse than Mass Effect 3

    Ah, but Gears of War 2's ending had the promise of a real end to the story in the next game. I haven't played ME3 or any ME but I've got to imagine GoW is up there.

    Assassin's Creed 3 trailer revealed.

    Actually I agree with you to some extent. I think a european setting would have been more apt for a series that seems to be dedicated to more of an old-world feel where it can play with history because less is known about the period. However, with the very real possibility of French, British...

    Image of Assassins Creed III's main character leaked

    Actually, I'm English, but we still ended up studying what you've been up to for the past 100 years despite having over a millennium of our own history. Bizarre. And the most important part was the bit I've highlighted in bold: this setting is a good idea, but there were so many other options...

    Image of Assassins Creed III's main character leaked

    Not to focus on the details or anything and I'm sorry for this but that's just not correct. The American Revolution in 1776 and the subsequent war in 1812 actually came just before a period of greatness in the Empire. After Napoleon was defeated in 1815 there was no one else on the world stage...

    Assassin's Creed III Declares Independence from England

    Makes sense. We as a nation do despise being made the antagonists. After all, we did ban The Patriot, Killzone, Star Wars, Pirates of the Carribean, etc. ...oh wait. :D Anyway, I don't believe the British are going to be the sole antagonists or even the main ones. Since George Washington...

    Your ultimate goal in life?

    I'm not really sure that Reykjavik counts. That and you shouldn't give tourist money to plane-stoppers and money-losers. My only ambition is to create/own/poke the hell out of one of these: Cos how amazing would that be?

    The Father of Computer Science is Still a Criminal

    I think Dr Turing was a superbly intelligent man and I am fond of the statue of him that sits in a park no more than 100 yards from where I am now, which is why it is hard to say but the House of Lords is not wrong. Posthumous pardons are for people who are found to be innocent of the crime...

    LoadingReadyRun: Sh*t People Say

    Was I the only one who was expecting the stinger to be "Shit Sam Raimi says"? I know it's the wrong format but still...

    Don't go to college (if you're in college, drop out)

    I don't mean to be a snob or a killjoy but are you really referring to business administration as a "practical scientific field"? Furthermore, there seems to be an implication that those who go into actual practical scientific fields instead of an "art" are "wasting there time and money on a...

    Sobriety sucks

    Not wanting to join in this deep and tolerant conversation but if you're going to start calling people moronic you should probably know what a pound sign is first. Now to my real post. I am frustrated by arguments saying "you don't know anything, you don't have this experience so your...

    Worst marketing line you've ever heard.

    I imagine the worst part is that tactic isn't even original. OT: I seem to only remember good adverts (the point of them I suppose) but I'll try and remember one.

    When does someone deserve death?

    Only when it is certain that their death will cause the further deaths of others to cease. Some vague examples being some sort of mafia king pin who's gang would fall apart with his death (unlikely I know) or a revolutionary/dictator whose death would end a war. But if their arrest or...
