    Have you ever had to do somthing in a game that made you feel "uncomfortable"?

    Whenever I have to hurt an animal in a game, I feel physically sick. Specific examples include Mass Effect 1 and 2... Certain choices involving the Rachni Queen, Zaeed's loyalty mission and picking certain team members during the Omega 4 relay had me pacing around my room, something that...

    Podcasts

    As I was syncing my iPod, I realised that I don't listen to much music anymore, and have found myself addicted to podcasts. Does anyone else listen to a large amount of podcasts? I find myself listening to the radio less and downloading around 10 episodes and listening to them instead. And if...

    Erotism/nudity in video games.

    If nudity and other sexual themes were anywhere near being accepted in the medium, it was sent very far back by the whole bullshit Fox News/Mass Effect thing. Because video games are perceived as being for children, conservative parent groups shit bricks when anything remotely related to...

    Just bought a PS3. What games do I need?

    Definitely get Heavy Rain, it's one of the best PS3 exclusives, the tone and feeling of it's story and the characters are really great, despite the slow start. Also pick up Uncharted 2, that game is awesome. 3D Dot Game Heroes is a lot of fun, and you can't go wrong with Little Big Planet...

    Recommend me some music.

    Yep, those would be the ones. Any good live? Can't really help with the classical but a few good melodic hardcore or similar bands are Strung Out, Polar Bear Club, and pretty much anyone signed to Bridge 9 Records. Also, check out The Kidcrash, they have alll of their stuff for free...

    Not me. I'm a massive Children of Bodom fan, and love all of their stuff, especially their album Are You Dead Yet. Growls and keyboard solos just sound so right together.

    I never want to hear of or see this band again... Really not my cup of tea. And the fans are infuriating, kinda like Escape the Fate's fanbase of screaming 12 year old girls.

    I love Rise Against, they're playing in my city tonight, but due to unemployment I couldn't get a ticket... Feels bad bro. This is fantastic, and that last bit is completely true. Being in a band, we started out doing covers, and I always tried to get us to play them in a different style...

    Great Bands You Saw Live.

    At a festival earlier this year, I saw Deftones, Rammstein and Tool. Probably one of the best ever festival line-ups ever. Rammstein have THE greatest stage show known to man. So much fire and explosive goodness :3 Tool are, well, Tool. They're amazing. Also seen Parkway Drive, they're great...
