    What's your 'Alpha Strike'?

    Edit: Damn, meant to quote someone then. Moment has gone. IRL, I'd let them strike first, overreact to throw them off guard, then throw an elbow/knee.

    Do you recommend FFIX?

    Yeah, 8 and 9 are both really really good if you enjoyed 7. IMO they aren't quite as absorbing, but that's not to say they aren't very absorbing and there's loads of stuff to do as far as sidequests go etc.

    dirty tactics you know you shouldnt use, but still do

    In FIFA, playing counter-attack style is so easy, I wouldn't call it cheap but it's easy wins

    Your take on pre-owned games.

    Presumably you're trolling, but Piracy - facilitating the copying of something to be distributed at no gain for the original source and Used games - something which the original source has already recieved full payment for, and as such has no further concern in Are so, so different

    If a blood sport became legal, would you have anything to do with it?

    This scares me... Is the spirit of competition or the pitting of wits not enough?!?! That said, I'd probably watch. Occasionally hiding behind a pillow. I'm sure some prison inmates would probably take this offer if it meant some sort of benefit; a bigger cell, TV etc. Certainly not a...

    Greatest book/series ever!

    H2G2 and Discworld are good, but... Not one mention of Stephen King - The Dark Tower? It's really really really good.

    Poll: how do you sleep at night?

    Alone - on my side, almost always fall asleep reading so I lose my page. With gf - usually her epically smothering my space. She will ALWAYS leave me with no space. I am almost always falling out of bed/squashed up against the wall, and if I sneakily switch sides, she adjusts. Having been...

    You're Current Gaming Mini-Projects

    Just got a perfectly working PS1 emulator up on my PC, so Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9 doing all the side-quests. Also, another playing of FO1, 2 and 3. Kinda can't wait to get to 3.

    Are most gamers into metal music?

    I love jazz-fusion, hip-hop, drum'n'bass, metal, anything good really, although I do get the feeling there is a large group of gamer/metalheads.

    Advice For Someone Living on Their Own

    Someone said about a sport, that's good. Play a sport, get to know other people with similar interests. Don't try too hard socially though - people will start to avoid you and treat you like a retard. Best way I guess is to immerse yourself in what you do, what makes you YOU - whether this...

    Is Rap art?

    Not quite enough for them not to want to milk it for every penny, mind...

    Is Rap art?

    Speaking as a popular music student and a particular fan of rap (although a player of jazz, funk, rock, metal and fusion) it is indeed art. It is the musical form of a vast cultural phenomenon, that of hip-hop. When "rap" and "art" are mentioned, Run-DMC spring to mind; they achieved things...

    If you went skydiving, and neither one of your parachutes worked...

    First, panic. Then realise that in the grand scheme of things, your death isn't going to make a lot of difference. Then, I'd calm down and think really really fast, about something strange and unusual, and allow myself to get really tangential in my thought processes. So tangential in fact that...

    How many escapists play Guild Wars, and how many would be interested in starting an ecapist guild?

    I played it for 24 hours before they put some kinda awful online gaming ban on my halls of residence. I'll probably fire it up again when I move house in a couple of months, but by then I'll be drooling for Diablo 3.

    Judge wants ban on strange names

    Should be able to name your children whatever you want. Surely their name reflects your feelings for them and your reasons for bringing a child into the world etc, so if you name him/her something funny it's just your comedic take on life shining through. Also, to people who say the child...
