    My daughter is named Tali'Zorah. I suppose I'm crazy : )

    Oh man, that genuinely makes me like it even less.

    My daughter is named Tali'Zorah. I suppose I'm crazy : )

    GO GO GO! Tali'Zorah is a lovely name, if people have a problem with it that's up to them, but when you look at your child's name in 10 years time would you rather she have a name you both loved, or a name that wasn't your favourite but you chose because you were afraid what people might think...

    Movies that will never be bad

    I forgot John Carter. John Carter was AMAZING. Also Prometheus, I liked it. Deal with it.

    Movies that will never be bad

    Everyone's watched that review and they clearly don't give a damn. I don't, I love the prequels, even Attack of the Clones (Yoda fighting sith Christopher Lee? Yes please.). Suckerpunch is one of my favourite all time movies. Tron: Legacy was awesome and fun. The second Matrix movie is my...

    Did ME3 ruin Mass Effect for you?

    I loved Mass Effect 3, the last 20 mins or so can't take away the awesomeness of an entire series. I'm wary of Bioware and their attitude towards awesome RPGs like DA:O and ME1, they seem to have the same attitude towards an RPG sequel as a drag racing team, tear out the innards to make it go...

    Rumor: Survey Spills Details on Dragon Age 3

    The story sounds kinda dumb, and I couldn't stand the combat in DA2, and I have no idea what "Origin" is, but IF THEY LET ME PLAY AS A DWARF OR ELF AGAIN I WILL BUY THIS GAME.

    Mass Effect 3 Disappointment.

    ^ this. Plus I get why (in terms of plot) Grunt couldn't come, I just felt the team was missing a Krogan, any Krogan really, just a big tough buddy to headbutt when times got tough, or laugh about their crazy quad-testicles.

    Mass Effect 3 Disappointment.

    It's not the ending, that was fine. It's not the linear nature of the missions, although I would have liked a bit more freedom ala mass effect 1. It's not even the lacklustre relationship growth, which was vastly inferior to mass effect 2. No my friends, the thing that disappointed me was the...

    Which two gaming series would you like to see in a crossover 'fic?

    I know it's not really a crossover as such, but Morrowind and Skyrim. Dovahkiin is just hanging around, fightin dragons and stuff, when the Nerevarine (who, if you know your lore you'll know, left Tamriel after the events of Morrowind and it's expansions to check out Akavir) shows up looking...

    Bad guys you quickly/later realized weren't actually evil.

    Hells to the yes. In Skyrim the Empire is trying to help keep the dominion out of Skyrim, and Ulfric was imprisoned in the first place for leading a genocidal march against the people who are now the Forsworn. Ulfric Stormcloak was the real bad guy in the Civil War quests. He's a bad...

    How do they get away with releasing games like Skyrim on consoles?

    I Have never had a single problem with Oblivion or Fallout 3 on my 360, Skyrim has only had a few freezes during loading screens, but they sort themselves out after about 30 seconds and I keep playing fine. I'm starting to think that the problems with Bethesda games are only in the pc...

    Game could shut down to avoid more losses

    Hells no we don't want Gamestop in this country. I'd rather deal with the rubbish waiting period that comes with ordering off Amazon than shop at gamestop.

    Does your console want you to play games?

    http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/12/xboxdashrev2011ii.jpg Today I turned on my 360 to play me some Skyrim and I noticed something. On the new Xbox 360 dashboard the button you press to select the game in the disc drive is tiny. It bothers me that my console appears to...

    Most memorable opening line in a game

    "Transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold." or "They let me pick, did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted..." or "It began, as always, with the desire for power..." Soulblade, Halo 3 and Gears 2, some of the best openings...

    what game got you into gaming

    First game I ever played was a little yellow digital poker machine my aunt had that I would play with sometimes. The game that started the passion for gaming? Pokemon Yellow when it came out in europe. I was always a fan of the show and my dad had just bought the family a computer (we had had...
