    Poll: Should UK police be given guns as standard issue?

    Bloody hell, where exactly did the OP state that he thought using firearms on protestors was a good idea? Seems to be a lot of people making their own inferences here. Anyway, on topic, no - we shouldn't arm the police. We need to ensure that they get the respect they deserve - the lack of...

    Your favorite strategy games I might not have heard of.

    This. A post-apocalyptic RTS where you can design your own tanks and V.T.O.L.s? Was epic back in the day, been playing through it recently and it's still a good game. graphics are a bit dated though. Loved your encounters with the various enemies as well, The New Paradigm were a bit of a...

    What would you do if you won the lottery?

    Depends on how much you win really, if it's the big Euro Millions style lottery win of £25million + then i'd probably splash out a bit, buy myself a nice home and car, then put the rest away and live off the interest. If it was a £100,000 + win like the sort you'd get off a scrathcard it'd...

    Ever lost control?

    I've only ever had one incident where i've completely lost it at another person after they'd been throwing rocks at my sister. Thankfully all that entailed was me giving them a punch in the face and knocking them to the floor. Do kind of regret it though, if only because i could have done a...

    Poll: who will you be at the apocalypse

    The Badass Loner who eventually stumbles on a group of ill prepared survivors and has to decide whether he'll stay and help them defend themselves or leave. That, or Tallahassee from Zombieland, only British - "i'm here to kick zombie ass and drink cups of tea. And i'm all out of tea."

    I just finished fallout New vegas.....wow

    Have gone through all the endings bar working for House, Independant Vegas was the one i felt was the best option. It was a fantastic game, if you wanted the best endings you had to put some effort into getting them. Also I very much recommend...

    Poll: Do You Prank and Grief others online?

    I've held true to my and my friend's mantras of "only be a dick if they're being dicks". Fond memories of having an entire server bar two people of friends, when the two that we didn't know started acting up, they were well and truly destroyed. Truth be told though, unless you're playing...

    Poll: Are console games overpriced?

    £40 is usually the limit for me on games, though having jumped from console to PC in recent months i've felt really silly that i've been paying even that much. Why do console games cost (on average) a good £10-£15 more than the PC counterparts anyway?

    Misrepresentation of Gaming in the Media!

    I think the random button mashing problem stems from the fact that when playing games like FPS's you don't really do much - it illustrates better that the characters are playing something. At least, that's what i'm going to run with. It's also that some TV writers can't be bothered to do the...

    Black Ops Demo

    Unfortunately the demo appears (haven't tried it myself) to contain the only mission i thought was actually enjoyable, though you're bang on the money when you say it's a tad disorenting to be playing two seperate people in the same short sequence. Alas - if only we had been given a demo...

    Child Porn Charges for comedian; edited video makes it appear children were listening to dirty song

    Jeeze, next they'll be charging people playing CodBlops with murder, simply because it looks like they shot someone. Wait, so you're essentially saying that this guy should be jailed because what he did wasn't funny to you?

    Your Personal Best Videogame Opening of All Time?

    How has no-one mentioned the intro from the first Homeworld? My word, that was an opening i'll remember for a long time, the return to Kharak a few missions later also felt pretty emotional. Second would be Mech Warrior 4's intro, loved the mix of CG and live action.

    How would YOU end the world?

    Destroy the world with a huge game of chess. Because Global Thermonuclear war is a strange game, the only winning move is not to play.
