All of my friendship group got into dub about three years ago, and there are still some tunes that I think are pure genius and up there with other genre-forming music (Mr Postman by Cragga and Dirty Picture by Cookie Monsta are two that spring to mind), but many points brought up here stand...

I think it's just to make online versions of products available, and at a price that reflects the far lower costs of distribution. If I could, say, buy a new release, complete and legit with a speedy download for, say, 70% of the box price, I'd choose that over a slow crappy copy off a torrent...

Here goes... 1. I found FFVII to be undeserving of its many accolades and even painstakingly boring at times. 2. I think Oblivion was far better than Morrowind. 3. World of Warcraft is as much a grind-fest as any FarmVille or similar title. 4. COD is a great series of games, and have...

England (specifically, Southampton) It's home. I'm a manager of a McDonald's A-Levels (equivalent of a diploma) but going to University Video games - obviously! I come to the Escapist because it makes me feel like there are other intelligent people that play video games out there... I...

I used to love Wild Wild West with Will Smith... Come to think of it, I still do... Haters gonna hate.

I'm inclined to agree, XBL is probably the best social/online game platform, so to see that extended to mobile gaming would be amazing. I use an iPad with Game Center but it's not the same, I can imagine mobile/console cross-platform games right down to just being able to collect Gamerscore for...

I always have a shower before work, and I'll tend to have one after I get up on my days off - though I do have days when I can't really be bothered, but I wouldn't leave the house or do anything social if I didn't feel clean and smell good.

I can hardly say I like being hungover, but that feeling when you get up in the morning (or afternoon/evening - depending on just how heavy the previous night was!), your head spins, you still feel a little woozy, then you get those patchy memories come through... It's pretty fun trying to piece...

My advice would be do whatever you normally do, but in a social setting. You're not going to meet anyone by staying in. If you like games, go to some expos. Like reading, join a book circle. If you're not the kind of person who is naturally inclined to go up and talk to people you don't know...

I remember once playing Saints Row on XBL with a friend just for a laugh, and it was just all people like that. I mean, I wasn't expecting much, but it made me never touch the multiplayer again.

Any game can be considered art, whether you take it for it's graphics, storytelling, gameplay mechanics, even it's marketing. Even mainstream games like CoD or Halo, effectively trendsetters of online competition (at least for consoles) could be said to be artistic in their nature of handling...

Forever and always, the best song must be I'll Make A Man Out of You from Mulan. What an epic montage track.

Always fancied the idea of a Halo or Bungie-related tattoo, though I don't think I'd ever get one. Maybe like an S-117 at the base of my neck or something...

There's nothing to stop touch screens employing haptic feedback (I.e. a small vibration under the finger when something is pressed) aside from the cost. Many smartphones have it on their menu buttons, but there would be a huge cost associated with having feedback to make it "feel" like you're...

I agree with what you're saying, the very medium of video games is so different from that of film that the two are practically incongruous. That said, I think the reason that video game movies may never work is more fundamental even than that. A game is generally a three-act piece of drama in...
