    Poll: Would you have preferred this as the face of Tali

    I would prefer it, it actually doesn't look exactly like a human (you'd think someone would have mentioned how similar the races look at some point...). Looks like it has hair, which is good because while Mass Effect has done a good job of making their aliens distinct but human-like just...

    Rumours for the next Fallout...

    A lot of iconic fallout things are very much US only in the back story, or at least likely to be so (with the mutants largely justified by FEV, vaults, power armour, brotherhood of steel) and being based on or parodying american culture and the like being important to it. This leaves a non-US...

    Serious Business: Red Cross offended by videogame War Crimes.

    I guess it would be sensible if when making games where you are supposed to be a soldier of a respectable army and not doing top secret operations that will be denied to have happened the developer considers the rules of war and avoids breaking them in cut-scenes or game mechanics- or draws...

    The protagonist of the last game you played wants too have sex with you.

    ...a snail from a flash game? And before that cold war era German army? Even the best recent would be a sadistic and strong female dwarf from a rouge-like. Thankfully she only cut of limbs from those who deserved it, but even then it's not great. And I'm not sure if she had a beard or not...

    293: Advice for Serial Killers

    While those are reasons there aren't serial killers in games, I don't think they are the main ones. A serial killer can't realistically be a danger to player characters in most games, they tend not to be well equipped, aren't trained and have quirks that work against them. Because of their...

    We Want More Realisim....waaaaait

    Realism is the easy way to create immersion (you can have immersion in something very unrealistic, but it's much harder to do) and can lead to interesting game design and mechanics, but a lot of people/games consider realism itself a feature rather than a means to an end, which I don't agree with.

    Poll: Are you Human?

    Nope, I'm twelve bumblebees in a clown suit. Well there's a dead rat as well, but he's not contributing much. On a more serious note I think this was a bad choice of question, because we're all biologically human.

    Valve Confirms DotA 2 for 2011

    It'll have to be pretty damn good (or free) to tempt me away from League of Legends since I don't really have time for 2 DoTa games. Still a game type/genre I like by a company I like has got good potential.

    Would you throw yourself on a grenade?

    Jump out the window. I'm a coward, and for all I know I may not even like those people, and I'm not even sure if I'd save their lives by jumping on the grenade. If humans are such good protection against explosives why don't tanks use babies for armour?

    Most Inaccurate Lessons You Were Taught in School

    My schools so far and my current college are all pretty good, so I was largely not misinformed. However drugs education... More recently they've been more honest with us but when I was younger it was just full of lies. My primary school was a Church of England school, but wasn't all that...

    Games that you lost.

    I've lost Pokemon Blue, and I don't think anything else. Anyone else find it strange that I'm the 4th person so far to lose Pokemon Blue? Why is it such a losable game?

    Poll: Pluto, is it still a planet?

    It's been a planet for most of my life and the best reasons they gave for it not being one is it's a bit small, and there's some debris. Still a planet to me. Also it messes up my mnemonic as well, but since I've forgotten it, it doesn't matter.

    Poll: Guns, are they good or bad?

    My views? The USA shouldn't ban guns. Americans are too attached to their guns to give them up, and the availability of guns is so high currently that banning them would lead to loads of illegal ones being around. The UK should keep guns banned, because gun accidents and crime would...
