    The best experience you've ever had in a movie theater?

    Probably "watching" a bond movie after a gig. Having travelled to London for a NIN gig, my friend and I had about 9 hours and nowhere to go. We paid a stupid price (at least £12 a ticket), but got huge comfy seats, heating and sedative (re:Bond), all of which gave us a couple hours kip before...

    Pwning noobs?

    as far as noobs and pros go... Noobs you hunt for quantity and pros for quality. By the third harvest of a noob player, I tend to feel like a bully and leave them alone...

    Poll: What has video games made you do?

    I buy shopping for my elderly neighbours, patiently listen to any wandering preachers that come calling, and generally avoid causing any anger or irritation in other people. If I haven't had the chance to pull the spine out of some american kid's avatar or long shooted a smug sniper, I tend to...

    Should The Simpsons be Cancelled?

    Whilst it isn't at its best, its still; a)better than a lot of crap sitcoms b)still got a chance to become a stronger and more relevant show And whatever you make of its quality, its more consistent than a certain other knockoff...

    Ragequitting to deny someone a victory

    On occasion, but never with the active purpose of denying the opposite team. If I'm not enjoying myself or the challenge, I'm not gonna continue being a masochist to please other people. That said, I won't stay in games with heavy lag and glitching players, nor people using cheats. Thats not...

    Aliens Vs Predator Studio Complains About 3 Bad Reviews

    Sounds like a man focused on his next pay check rather than the studios credibility, but as his comments mean he's read those bad reviews, can't blame him for bringing them up. I've played a fair bit on the demo and the game, and I can honestly say that there are parts of the design that are...

    Poll: Woman Calls Tech Guy About Stolen Wi-Fi Network

    Now and again. Its not like I need to usually, and I've found the rare occasion I've logged onto someone elses wi-fi the speeds make it pointless. If I'm gonna steal it I'm going to McDonalds. Well... next door to McD's... I'm not gonna buy food to use theirs...

    I now officiallly HATE gamertags.

    Honestly, I don't mind the framing (XXX whatever XXX), the tally numbers (bert902) or even swapping those letters for numbers. I've been lucky, and didn't have to do any of that nonsense for my gamertag, but the point at which your name is illegible at a glance it gets annoying. Fair enough...

    Poll: Do you wear a seatbelt?

    Constantly. I've been in enough car accidents (inside and outside the car) that I'll never risk it without. I don't drive, and resent all the people who don't have the skills to, but still have the cars. I just wish the pavement came with them too...

    "Console gaming is better because it just works"... still a valid argument?

    I would've said it was a valid argument for some people. Not everyone can spend the time or possibly actually grasp some of the mechanics necessary for upkeeping their computers. Then I remembered my 2 year old laptop works fine and my Xbox broke after 8 months...

    Calm down...its just a game...

    I change tactics/class. The more you kill me, the more I know how you're working the match. Doesn't always work, but having a stress release class on MW2 certainly helps ("sod this, I'm gonna run round with a shield for the last five mins")

    Your stupid gaming habits that get you killed...

    Reloading. Even when I'm carrying a light machine gun and haven't used a quarter of the ammo "I might need to unload it all in a helicopter..." And being too patient. Waiting silently in the grass can reap many rewards... or just leave you lonely when everyone runs to the opposite side of the...

    J. Allen Brack and Samwise Talk Five Years of Warcraft

    I don't take screen shots of my character (digital narcissism?) but I do really wish one of my character's pvp armour wasn't SO ugly. Not that I get any choice in the matter as every piece of pvp armour for him looks the same, like a hundred gray turtles died for it...

    ITT you post the most obscure band you can think of and see if anyone recognizes it.

    It was defensive, but the target audience comment seemed irrelevant. Bands that are obscure are generally isolated from their "target audience" due to a lack of media coverage/promotion, but I think my problem is obscure is a little undefined. AFX is obscure by many techno heads standards, but...

    ITT you post the most obscure band you can think of and see if anyone recognizes it.

    Could also be because theres a lot of musicians that have never applied the phrase "target audience" to their working practices. And can't really help you with the MTV thing as I've NEVER watched it. I look for music, not wait for it to come to me.
