There's an article in this months' EMPIRE about Brave which really got me interested in the movie. I was skeptical before, but I think hearing a bit about the themes and research behind the project was really good. The girl is a teenager rebelling against arranged marriage and from there...

Ah. Didn't know that since I haven't played it. It's a rare thing, though, and as you say, it's far too expensive to do for a small benefit. You could argue that your character feels more "alive", but in games like Mass Effect a pre-scripted character is no more mine than one that doesn't speak...

I'm sorry so many people seem to be having crash issues. I'm not having any, and I've only had to make the one character which has stayed when I've logged out and back in. I've had some lag and latency issues when there's a lot of players around, but otherwise it runs fine on my laptop. I...

Can someone link to the announcements about subfee + microtransactions etc? I'd appreciate that. I'm joining the open beta this weekend to check it out. I'd love for them to succeed (being Norwegian) but it's not looking too promising right now. The open beta will also be very limited, which...

I've bought Mario Kart: Double Dash for Game Cube three times, as it happens... Once as it came out when I was living in Norway. Once when I was living in the US and had a US GC. And once again here in Britain, though used.

I want to get the Silent Hill collection and boyfriend is getting DMC as soon as he's finished his essay stuff :P Anyone that's bought Silent Hill HD (Xbox) and can report on it? I've heard a lot of conflicting things.

Being unemployed and on the dole feeling sorry for myself while applying for job after job after job after job after job after job after.....

I don't understand how some people think this is a nigh on "flawless" game. While playing, I became very frustrated with a number of things: - The cover mechanics (for me on PC anyway), didn't work overly well. I could press the button to go into cover up to three times before Shepard...

Let's rock and roll! Take this quiz [/quizzes/view/198-Which-Classic-Nintendo-Character-Are-You] Don't know much about Fox really. I wanted Samus or Link!

I lol'd. OP: I quite like the name 'Bandit' for your cat, I'd love to hear your suggestions for the bird!

I never said you had to learn a new language. That's what subtitles are for, no? What I was saying (in a slightly muddled way) is that the whole "What, you want me to READ?!" is a a very spoiled brat sort of response and it certainly is the most common one when you suggest to an English speaker...

I'm of the opinion that prefering dubs is mostly something that occurs in countries where the main populace speak English. It's a spoiled brat kind of thing to me (who is from a non-English country); everything should exist in my superior language! Anyway, goes without saying, I prefer subs...

I haven't played ME3 yet and even when/if I do ME1 will always be my favorite. The draw of the series is the scope of it. You're not just saving the world - you're saving the frickin' galaxy. ME1 is great because you can explore different planets in a way that the other game(s) won't let you...

I feel like Navi's annoyance-factor has been blown up a bit on the internetz. I don't remember her bugging me that much when I played it back on the N64. She does occasionally get to me now that I re-play I guess. A far more annoying Zelda character was that fairy wannabe in Majora's Mask...

Yes I have! I love it. I keep trying to imagine which parts are Pratchett's ideas and which are Gaiman's :P
