    Best videogame soundtrack?

    Perhaps "Favourite" would have been a better title Mal?

    Best videogame soundtrack?

    Grim Fandango! I'm not sure I would have enjoyed the game as much had it not been for the fantabulously atmospheric soundtrack. Sometimes you don't even notice it's there, but it's always just the right piece to set off a scene. Beautifully done, I miss that game *wipes tear* BUT HOORAY...

    Your total nerd moment as a gamer

    When I found a copy of Grim Fandango in my local Gamestation and voiced my elation so loud that people outside the shop gave me funny looks.

    Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine

    This is the game I have been waiting for for YEARS. I adore the 40k universe and Space Marines in particular, but don't play the tabletop game because It's A: Too Expensive, and B: feels too much like maths. For these reasons I will be buying this game, and for those same reasons, I will be...

    Real-world applications of game technologies.

    There's a dog that keeps emptying itself on my front lawn, it makes me with I had a Zerg sunken colony to teach the little bugger a lesson. Has anybody else thought of other uses for in-game equipment or items for the real world?

    Am I simply thick for not liking Eve Online?

    It's all been said really. I downloaded the trial a couple of days ago, and I can understand why you might not like EVE, there does seem to be a lot of little bugs kicking about but I have yet to find one that causes me to stop playing out of disgust. The learning curve IS phenomenally...

    What have you seen lately?

    The man from Earth. Incredible film, find it, see it. It's so refreshing to watch a film that doesn't need impressive, big budget special effects (or indeed any at all) yet can still keep me gripped to the end despite visually being nothing more than several characters in a house. Again...

    If I hear "Just doing my bit for the environment" one more time then I'm going to flip.

    Except that we're not, are we? You and me will be dead when the realy bad stuff hits. When that happens it will kill many of us, but I say let them die! Natural selection has nearly 7 billion of us to play with, the strong the crafty and the lucky ones will survive to form a new civilisation of...

    Who doesn't like football?

    I prefer watching rugby because of the way the players conduct themselves. Somebody wiser than I am once said "Rugby is a c**t's game played by g**tlemen, football is a g**tleman's game played by c**ts" Oh, and to all the Yanks and Aussies crying "That's not football! That's soccer!" I...

    If I hear "Just doing my bit for the environment" one more time then I'm going to flip.

    I don't worry about the environment. The planet does not need saving. No matter what we do to her, Terra will sort herself out. She's been doing it for billions of years. I feel like this whole 'being green' idea is just another example of humanity's collosal arrogance and over-inflated sense...

    Craziest Thing You've Ever Done?

    Craziest thing I've ever done? Get comfortable and I'll tell ye... One october evening a couple of years ago a friend and I took a large amount of magic mushrooms, we had an entertaining evening and toddled off to our separate homes. I went to bed at 3am still tripping. The thought occurred...

    Poll: Free-Running?

    To the layman, Parkour and Free-running are indistinguishable, however the two disciplines have different ideas behind them. Free-running seems to be about showing off, running about doing somersaults and back-flips etc. Parkour on the other hand is a physical discipline more akin to a martial...

    Poll: Free-Running?

    Poll: Free-Running?

    I'm into this kind of thing, more Parkour than Free-running though. I like the whole 'always improve, look after your body, practice in the safest possible way' philosophy of Parkour. Actually, just the fact that Parkour has a philosophy of sorts is what drew me to it over the more 'energetic...
