    Need help putting together a portfolio

    I'm a programmer, not a designer, so I'm afraid I can't offer any particularly specific advice, but I've got to say that this: is an excellent suggestion :)

    Poll: Apartments and Noise

    You'd hate me and my drum kit :) Although I do make a point of not practicing after about 9pm. Also, I'm not exactly in an apartment - I just share a wall with the house next door - but if they asked me to keep the noise down earlier than that, I would. Mind you, I do sometimes wonder if...

    How do you game?

    I don't really have any particular rituals I do tend to sit in the same seat most of the time, but I'm not sure you'd call it a favourite chair - it's just the best placed for the surround sound :) I'll also often have a drink while I'm playing - generally coffee if it's earlier in the...

    Great games with one fatal flaw...

    It's not a matter of it being difficult to program - it's a deliberate choice by the design team (not saying I necessarily agree with it, just trying to explain) OT: Hmm... I can't really think of any one flaw that has ruined a game for me - I'm generally quite forgiving of flaws so long as...

    Stupidest reason you've ever been insulted

    I remember back in school being insulted by some of the other kids for actually knowing the answer to a question the teacher asked. That was pretty weird... More recently, I used to work with a guy who was something of a hippie. He would constantly have a go at me (admittedly in a fairly...

    Boxsets you've rewatched / you rewatch again and again

    The main ones I tend to re-watch are: Red Dwarf Blackadder Futurama I also recently got the Firefly box set - I've only had time to watch it once so far, but I'll definitely be watching it again :)

    Educating Annoying Ignorances

    Please tell me that was a joke, because it's exactly what I was about to put as the thing that annoys me :)

    whats the last thing you finished?

    I've just finished drinking a cup of tea - does that count? It was pretty good ;) Other than that, I recently finished reading Game of Thrones. I really enjoyed it - must get round to buying the next book in the series soon

    multiplatform titles, which console?

    Let me put it like this... I have 5 games for my PS3, and 60 games (I actually went and counted them) for my Xbox 360 :) I guess the main reason is that I much prefer the Xbox's controller, but also more of my friends own Xboxes than PS3s, so if I'm wanting to play a game multiplayer, I'm...

    Are old games still playable?

    1) Deus Ex I haven't tried, so I can't help you with that 2) Morrowind runs just fine on my gaming rig. I seem to remember needing to download a mod to get it to display properly in widescreen 3) KoTOR I have never been able to get to run properly on a 64-bit PC. There are various guides...

    Plans For Your Next Birthday?

    For my birthday this year, I expect to do the same thing as I did last year - spend all day at work, and then not really do much of anything in the evening Of course, there's still about nine months until my next birthday, so there's plenty of time for plans to change :)

    Poll: Which enemy/enemy type in Skyrim do you hate the most?

    I'm going to have to go with mages. I would previously have said bears and/or trolls, but I'm currently playing through with a heavy-armour-wearing, greatsword-wielding warrior, and she's now at the point where I can quite happily go toe-to-toe with bears or trolls without breaking a sweat...

    Your childhood game!

    Congratulations on making me feel old :( For me, it would be Chuckie Egg on our BBC Micro from when I was very young, or the first two Monkey Island games on our Amiga a few years later
