    My resistance to Ponies.

    I watched ten episodes and then quit out of lack of interest. I enjoy a lot of shows made for kids but it never grabbed me. Even if I was interested, I think there's a difference between liking the show and actually taking part in brony 'culture' as it's been formed on the internet. The fake...

    Poll: I dreamt the future.

    This. I've had these so-called future experiences myself numerous times, but I actually went ahead and researched the phenomenon. It's pretty common and is generally caused by your brain misinterpreting new information and believing that it has been experienced before. Because the...

    Doctor Who Series 6.3 'The Curse of the Black Spot' SPOILERS

    I wonder about that - is the pregnancy test that the Doctor is running inconclusive? Or is it that she's carrying a time paradox in her belly and the positive/negative scramble is a result of a Schroedinger's-cat-style ambiguity?

    Doctor Who Series 6.3 'The Curse of the Black Spot' SPOILERS

    Yeah, the Doctor breifly explained in his ramblomatic way that it knew how to stablise them but couldn't fathom human biology totally, and so didn't know how to 'fix' them, only mindlessly copy and sustain that (hence its humanoid form).

    What game makes you rage?

    IWBTG was deliciously infuriating, and while it took an unhealthy amount of time to finish the damn thing, looking back on it you really do get a profound sense of achievement from it. On the other end of the scale, any RPG that uses the typical mechanics can be very frustrating, simply your...

    What do you think rule No. 1 of the Internet should be?

    Rule #1: Don't be a dick. Pretty much every other commonly reiterated rule on the internet (that isn't merely an observation of life, like the /b/ list) is a variation of this, honestly. Edit: Holy crap, I got ninja'd =X

    Preview: Minecraft

    I'm not sure I agree on the point of making the gameplay more focused on objectives, I must say. The minute you start doing that is the minute you start to constrain what sort of buildables are viable towards your success. Minecraft is a blank canvas and a creative tool; putting in arbitrary...

    What's your class?

    I've always preferred classes that can do weird and wonderful things to my friends and enemies, that mess with the expectations of both and generally lead to bizarre and hilarious situations. To that end, I'd say that I'm most likely to be a mage in traditional RPGs (especially tabletop) though...

    Poll: Your best and worst pokemon nicknames?

    'Spikkle' was the name of my very first Nidoking. What...I thought it was good >_> As for worst, I had an Infernape that I called Karra-tay, a Misdreavus called Shemale (it was male, it wore a necklace, cue guffaws) and Kookie the Kingler. (Kookie Kookie) They were more offbeat than outright...

    Nintendo Puzzled Over Other M's Poor Performance

    Bye bye innovation, we don't need you any more! *chucks out of the window* FINALLY, we can just get on and make the same game 200 times for the next 10 years. All this trying to be new and exciting was just getting on my nerves too. In all seriousness, this kind of talk is dangerous. The...

    The Sniper's Handbook

    As a Brit I find this highly amusing. [http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo/] Pot-shots at Anne Robinson, anyone?

    Nintendo Puzzled Over Other M's Poor Performance

    Well at least they've acknowledged that they might just possibly have got something a little bit wrong. Which in an official press release like this is likely all we'll ever get, even if everyone at Team Nintendja secretly thinks that they totally screwed it up...

    The Sniper's Handbook

    It's also sometimes more effective to enter the fray along with the rest of your team-mates (particularly, in TF2, if you're using the Huntsman). Simply hang at the back of the group, and take the occasional potshot at the oncoming mass of roiling body parts that is bearing down on your team...
