Seconded Original Dawn of War remains the best in my opinion - just large enough to have 'epic' feeling battles, just small enough to feel action packed and manageable, just complex enough to have useful options available to you in most situations, just enough variety to keep you interested...

One thing comes to mind when talking about Microsoft making a big, long term gamble on the move towards touchscreen devices - the Xbox We get the original Xbox in 2001 - first entry into the console race, generally suffered to the more popular PS2, significantly more expensive at retail, and...

Criticizing them for trying one OS for desktop, tablet and phone - come on you'd have to be a fool not to try surely? I can't believe Apple or Google aren't trying... not forgetting the Ubuntu phone. This is blatantly the smart direction for any OS manufacturer - like it or loath it, computing...

Yes, it's a year late but I've just started messing around with Raspberry Pi and XBMC - I would love to see The Escapist videos as a proper add-on for XBMC - ads and all

Just had to pipe up about Extra Credits / Jimquisition I fundamentally like both shows, but I've begun to realise that EC is probably always going to go down the 'properly educational' route whereas J tends to be more free to vent and pour scorn on the really nasty parts of the industry...

Well, hey, if that's the case then why try to make any of your own choices at all? Nice one. Okay, at least you're right here: we all know that a chickens natural environment is a cage the size of a piece of A4 paper. Stop stating the obvious.

'Vegetables/grains are grown on an industrial scale and so this makes them AS damaging to produce as meat' - Well, no. Because what do you need to grow to feed livestock? I mean, duh. 'Vegetarians are themselves unconvinced of their argument so have to convert everyone else' - Well...

As a vegetarian I apologize for any lectures you may have had rammed down your throat by media figures or other overly-zealous people. I think the choice of 'meat or no-meat' doesn't have to be a 'good vs evil' choice- we're at the top of the food chain for a reason. I would totally eat an...

Cheers you guys! Even if it is just a bunch of Futurama quotes laid over a video that a 13 year old could probably do. And yeah, its not cohesive and the overall quality is pants. It was originally just going to be the 'Shepard, but I thought you were..... EGYPTIAN???' one, but then it grew...

Here's something I hope will tickle your collective funny bones I was hesitant to post this here but a recent Futurama thread led me to believe that you guys and gals will appreciate. I've been trying my hand at some comedy video nonsense and this is what came out...

I think I heard somewhere that in France the above joke is rejigged to say 'Guten Tag' ! When Cubert speaks into the machine that allows anyone to sound like the professor: Cubert : 'Good news everyone. I'm a horses' butt.' Farnsworth : 'I am? That's not good news!' Barbados Slim: 'I see...

On balance, some things like 'PC' are worth supporting despite their flaws because it beats the alternative. Health and safety gives a pretty similar example. Sure, some people will abuse the system, but how do you punish the without also removing the right for people who genuinely need it...

Mass Effect: Because it's so lacking in humour! It's one of the most po-faced games ever and hardly ever drops it's mask of serious sci fi. except maybe the dancing.

A job is just as much a portion of your life as any other type of activity. Sometimes I'm happier at work, earning and learning than I am kicking back and scratching my butt. I always thought I'd be some kind of creative superman jumping from project to project under my own steam but it's...

Yes indeedy- I played a US copy of Thrill Kill also in the UK! That was just SILLY! Once something goes so far to be the most crazy extreme thing out there it just becomes ridiculous. I'm sure we're all aware of this argument: 'I don't agree with what you say- but I'll defend to the death...
