I question this, 'cause I had heard at a place I worked recently that the stock allocations were really tight, so at least some retailers have been posting inflated preorder figures to make sure they get their cut of the stock. It still looks like it'll be a success, but if what I'm told was...

I'd paraphrase Red Dwarf: 'Okay, smegger - Justify yourself.' Then I'd prolly hitch a lift down to the hot place. Figure that's where all the interesting people and hot women are at anyway. You know what they say - 'heaven for the weather, hell for the company'

First, I would order a newly hired henchgoon to fetch me a bacon sandwich. Then I would invest heavily and live a modest but comfortable life with me and my other half. Then, I would set up a system which monitors my heart rate, and that or said other half, and about 10 minutes after we're...

I had constant bullying all through school, though it petered off towards the end after I was found stalking through the corridors with a reinforced scaffold bar and a kid 2 years above me running for his life. Oh, and after the kids in my year found me looking up recipes for explosives on the...

I used to administer the banlist for my old school for a while after I finished as a student there. I don't remember there being any great howlers (except for Miniclip being unlocked), but I can tell you, that system was so ridiculously clunky and primitive. If they are all like that one was...

A Gravity/Mass Displacement device that will run comfortably off a car battery. Antigrav, containment fields, pretty much everything you'd need to make proper fusion reactors work and get out into space. And I'd get the most iron clad patent on that ***** I could, 'cause I mean, how much...

Would the non-directors-cut version of Bladerunner count? I personally think it's at least a more coherant film and plays much harder to the Film Noir inspirations, what with the (admittedly phoned in) narration. Also I don't think enough people saw the Hitchhiker's Guide movie, and a lot of...

And what fanservice, and how amazing is her acting, for someone that hadn't really acted before? (that's a rhetorical question before I get shouted at for being off topic) More on topic, did I read somewhere that there were complaints about the atmosphere in the VOY writing room, and...

I... hated Voyager until the introduction of Jeri Ryan. Sure, she seemed to have been cast as nothing but eye candy, but a. what eye candy, and b. it turmed out she was a surprisingly talented actress. (And euphamisms aside, she really does have gorgeous eyes) After that, I pretty much...

Personally I'll remember it as the decade when I started living like an actual human being, not a teenaged hermit. Objectively though, I suppose it will be remembered for being a decade in which location-based social groups and communties became much more fragmented, in which people's lives...

Joining in the chorus of 'I'm British myself, but...' I just want to mention Allo Allo as an utter classic (particularly the first few seasons), and that Spitting Image is a thing dearly missed. Also I've heard much good about our fine line of political satire, with examples such as 'The New...

I've always thought that the Halo story was pretty good (I mean, there's a lot worse out there, and I'm none to picky about my entertainment), and the problem was more in that it wasn't all that well conveyed to the player for one reason or another. Certainly for example in Halo 3, the optional...

Humanoid Cylon, maybe? Or something in some vein of 'elf'. A part of me cares less about the 'what would you be' and more about the 'not human' part.

Still waiting for someone to provide an actual manifesto so I can judge their (professed) policies objectively... then probably vote for the Tories because I hate them (very, VERY slightly) less. Pretty much come to the conclusion myself that if you're not with the average vote for your area...

Though it's quite short, and kinda obscure, I'm very fond ot the closing monologue from the Star Trek Deep Space 9 ep 'In the Pale Moonlight' for something a little dark and sinister - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-YyL7X4CWw&NR=1 For something a little lighter in tone, how about Arthur's...
