    Party Chat Leaves MW2, Internet Starts Petition. Again.

    I'm sorry, but you lost me there. Unless you have a severe case of schizophrenia or some kind of medical claim that you are indeed two people...you basically voided the whole thing. Saying that you support this and signing the petition once is fine. Signing it twice and admitting that...

    Poll: If you were a superhero would you kill criminals?

    Hmm, tricky. I'd probably use force to end situations, but not take it too far.... One basic warning, then bam, action-fight-sequence (without the Simon-Says QTEs). Always giving the criminal a chance to reprieve their actions and basically give up I think is necessary. After all, if they...

    Job Recruiters Told Not to Hire WoW Players?

    Ah, but if it DOESN'T affect your work then they have no legal right to decline an application if this is the sole excuse for it. Sure WoW addicts can be told to bugger off due to sleep deprivation etc, but people who know their limits can't. Taking the scenario above, it's like a person who...

    Job Recruiters Told Not to Hire WoW Players?

    I'd like to quote a part of the official UK Government Information website, from their article on Job Discrimination Official UK Government Citizens Information Website [http://www.direct.gov.uk] So, unless playing WoW hampers the worker's ability to perform their job as set out in their job...

    New Vulnerability Discovered in Internet Explorer: Updated

    Good for you, as I also view such advertising with these flamboyant methods rather taxing. Rather than use such obtusely and rather scattered methods, making standard adverts usually give better results in the long run. *coughs*

    Job Recruiters Told Not to Hire WoW Players?

    Bingo. It's just discrimination, but of someone's hobbies instead of the usual sex/race/disability discrimination we hear about more frequently for refusing someone a job. And to those who don't know, using a personal-trait to decline someone a job unless that trait is illegal in the...

    New Vulnerability Discovered in Internet Explorer: Updated

    I'm tempted to show this article to a friend of mine who is currently an IE zealot. Hopefully that'll change his mind and reveal the clear truth, that Firefox is considered by quite a few people to be just plain better. *Isn't biased for Firefox in any way* *coughs*

    Which media player do you use?

    I use Windows Media Player for music, as usually I listen to music while playing games and WMP is compatible with my Music-Player buttons in the corner of my Saitek Eclipse II keyboard (in case I want to skip a track / pause it briefly without alt+tabbing out of the game). For everything else...

    Why did you pick your avatar?

    Well I'm a bit of a Fallout fan, and the the Perk picture for More Criticals was just perfect. I usually end up using this for all kinda of forums + Steam etc. Holly-ed it up too along with other random festive bits for now, and I'll feel rather sad when I have to take them down.

    Your first gaming challenge and how you solved it

    Probably Escape from Monkey Island (the 1st one). Some of the puzzles in that went completely by me (I was only roughly 5/6 at the time), so it ended up being... -Scan the screen as much as possible. -If something popped up, try to pick it up. -If it couldn't be picked up, try using stuff...

    Poll: Has a game ever made you cry?

    Well I recall some time ago when I was a young'un, that I cried a bit because I was so insanely frustrated with a level on Little Big Adventure. I couldn't kill the enemies with his Magic Ball and stay out of the freezingly-cold instant-death water. In the end I made my dad do that bit of the...

    Why'd you choose your name?

    Well my real name is Anthony, and at school that usually got shortened to just 'Tony'. While a bit tipsy with some mates we were playing some weird game when we linked peoples names to real items in the room (no idea why but eh.), and I got stuck with 'Toner' (from the nearby printer) and...

    Poll: Are you S.P.E.C.I.A.L.?

    Heh thanks, got through the first 2 years intact and I'm on my placement year right now, which will be followed up by the tough final year. (Separation Processes is a blast though, fractional distillation columns, mass transfer coefficients, filtration mass fluxes, all good stuff so long as I...

    Poll: Guild Wars 2... So why should I buy it again?

    Oooooh yes I'll be getting GW2. Had an absolute blast with the GW campaigns + EotN add-on with friends, and it's probably the most-played game by yours truly. Of course after a time you do get 'burnt out', but I feel that I got my moneys worth by far with the GW games. I'm also really...

    Looks like the GECK is here...

    Hmm, a full-sized car would be quiiiiite tricky to navigate through the wastes, considering a hell of a lot of it is rubble / large rocks. Someone over that the Nexus discussed possibly making a Motorbike that works (basically making an armour-type item, with a Mortorbike animation on their...
