    It's nice to see a trailer that shows actual game footage... and the music.... ooh. Definitely one to watch.

    Jimquisition: SimShitty

    I see the odd person here and on reddit is still trying to drive the "Not enough servers was a plan to hide the game errors" conspiracy. If they had stopped to think for a minute they would have realized that having fence sitters put off from buying by server issues (mentioned in major news...

    EA Offers Free Game to Early SimCity Adopters

    So you're not allowed to get your money back on a "service" that you never received (something which should be illegal since most countries have consumer protection on physical goods already). But they will give you a game you never wanted instead... probably. Well, doesn't that seem like a...

    A question for the Brits and Aussies.

    If 6th grade is 11-14 then thats actually perfectly normal for humans to be having sex because thats when the hormones kick in. In fact 1 in 10 seems kinda low. Our civilisation has moved away from that so now it's frowned on if people don't wait till at least 16 or whatever... but no one told...

    You are proclaimed "Evil Overlord of Earth", what do you do first?

    I would have serious words with my spin doctor. You never "admit" to being an evil overlord.

    Bethesda Doesn't Enjoy Being "Forced" into Mojang Lawsuit

    If you can't tell the difference between two completely different games because one word happens to match only one of the words in the other, then you shouldn't be playing technically challenging games, or handling sharp objects. This says more about what the law thinks of the average citizen...

    A question for you Britons here.......

    Frankly you soon forget about them, I also doubt a lot of them work. We just aren't that efficient. Wait a minute, doesn't the major religion of the US have as a feature a sex obsessed, all powerful deity constantly watching you at all times?

    Man arrested for trolling on Facebook

    It's not really a free speech issue. Free speech comes with consequences related to other laws. It doesn't mean you can say what you want without any pushback. Also this guy was technically vandalising other peoples work, defamation of character etc... I don't really see the point of jail...

    Heavy Rain Dev Says Pre-Owned Sales Cost it Millions

    Funny how this wasn't a problem 10, 15 or 20 years ago. If you can't turn a nice profit on 2 million units sold, you need to have a good hard think about your business model. Also why should i pay full price, when full price is so bloody expensive. Have these people checked the state of the...

    Paying parents rent.

    100 is nothing. It will be much more to rent elsewhere. Also somehow i don't think that 700 quid she owes you covers your food, rent, gas, electricity, water, toys etc... for 18 years!!!

    Movies saying that Atheism is true.

    Not a film, but in Dexter he mentions how religion is comforting, but he couldn't believe it because of what he knows.

    Poll: Should UK police be given guns as standard issue?

    No. Not as standard. Also, you are mixing two different things. Riot police and normal police. Using one incident to demand guns for a different set of circumstances is naive at best. Guns should be used sparingly, if at all. The role of a police officer is not to shoot bad guys. This...

    Why is Glenn Beck so widley hated?

    The guy says cringeworthy, embarrassing and provably wrong things then bursts into tears. All calculated to pander to his audience... it's not hate, it's crushing embarrassment that he could get on tv and be popular.

    So, you are now an Evil Genius!

    I would consolidate my power base. Death stars don't get built with 3 technicians and a tea boy.

    Anyone else hate British cuteness?

    I thought the point of the word muggle was basically that the wizards didn't think much to normal humans but didn't want to insult them directly. Their clueless solution is therefore to use a word that's cute enough to NOT be thought insulting by themselves.
