    Woz I d onli 1 who ad 2 ask wot 'tbh' ment

    I genuinely don't mind abbreviations. However I DO mind the mis-spellings (woz, d, onli, ad, ment... 'wot' I can live with if used with comedic "pronounciation"). I actually thought that it would be in more common usage, with the majority of people at least aware of the more frequently (ab)used...

    I Hit It With My Axe: Episode 17: A Dire Situation

    Ratcheting up the tension like that is such a decidedly harsh thing to do, I'm actually proud of you Zak, you magnificent bastard. :D

    Halo... Or How To Gain A False Idea Of Milking A Franchise...

    Tell me about it... I now have to hunt for my cheap and nasty cherryade with added colours, sugars and sweetners. When I was a kid, it was the only option. I want my nice-tasting smarties back too! But getting back to the topic, is Halo a demonstration of how to milk a franchise? Arguably...

    Halo... Or How To Gain A False Idea Of Milking A Franchise...

    I can assure you that I have a foot in the same camp as you. If I could go to the shops and buy a game with the single-player experience of something like Discworld, but on par with Final Fantasy VII's timeframe, for $60, then I would be an exceptionally happy man. Unfortunately the games...

    Halo... Or How To Gain A False Idea Of Milking A Franchise...

    I shall apologise now, what follows is quite a wall of text. Those weak of heart may wish to just use the scrollbar to the right. If by saying "Halo 2 is the reason that Xbox Live and PSN exist in their current form." You mean "Halo is the reason one of the current generation consoles has...

    Poll: World of Tanks Closed Beta Sign Up

    'Massively Multiplayer Online'. Seems to fit the game pretty well, so no marketing hype there... Well, except "massively" but it's only in closed beta, so it can be excused that :P Also, whee! Tanks!

    Halo... Or How To Gain A False Idea Of Milking A Franchise...

    Personally, I dislike Halo because it has done nothing original and not progressed the genre, yet is hailed as a masterpiece. I feel the same way with CoD4 and especially MW2. At least HL2 brought in a new graphics engine and physics gameplay, Bad Company 2 updated Red Faction's destructable...

    Poll: The New Spiderman Is... Some English Bloke.

    Am I the only person who immediately thought of this when they saw his hair? Also, rebooting already? With a generally unknown cast? This is going to end well...

    I Hit It With My Axe: Episode 16: "Now & Then A Player Will Die"

    Goes without saying to be honest, as you all are. [ /charm :P] Of course, the real question is: Do you all get angry, violent goblin payback? And as for Frankie's dice-luck, it may be my own superstition, but I've always rolled better with my own dice and do particularly well if I don't...

    Mass Effect 2...seriously, wtf?

    I liked the Mako. Yeah, you heard me. I LIKED THE GODDAM MAKO. I want bouncy cars back. :(

    You want to kick someone... but a simple kick is not enough! :O

    Straighten the leg, kick forcefully upwards just under the kneecap, severing the lower tendons and pushing the kneecap up into the thigh, then swiftly tap my toes forward, pushing the knee joint backwards the wrong way. While technically a 'simple kick' I feel that it would suffice.

    Dating question

    Personally, I try to not date a lass who is over a foot shorter than me. Mainly because I found it irritating trying to do the cuddly stuff like hold hands, etc. I had to either stoop so she didn't have to shrug one shoulder up to her ear, or walk along about two feet away from her side to even...

    Mass Effect 3, what can we expect?

    What do I expect? a) Shepard saves the day. Possibly using duct tape and a big gun, riding on the prow of Normandy III in a spacesuit, leading the masses of the 'good' races in a violent counter-attack from the bowels of the citadel, after clearing the streets in a series of vicious...
