    Union Jack or Union....Flag?

    "Union Jack" has been in use officially since like the 1800s over "Union Flag", I thought. "Union Flag" sounds stupid, so I'm not too fussed about the pedantics.

    The Steam code giveaway/trade thread

    Got a copy of Portal I've got spare if anyone is interested. A few keys or an unusual hat on TF2 would do. Or not. Whichever.

    Why was Dragon Age 2 so bad?

    Loved the second one, personally. It's much faster-paced whilst retaining the tactical requirements that're necessary to stay alive at harder difficulties. The dialogue was great, imho, and having a protagonist that wasn't silent/whose personality changes depending on how your dialogue choices...

    Poll: The Escapist's Felings on GIF Avatars

    They weren't a problem until you mentioned them, and now I can't stop looking at them. :|

    Civilization V Getting Gods & Kings Expansion Soon

    Never once had to watch the whole of the intro video. Second it gets to "Welcome, my son - I've missed you!" pressing enter skips it to the main menu. No idea why other people are having this problem, I know plenty that skip it just like me with no alteration to the game. :| This expansion looks...

    New computer for Shogun 2?

    When I was looking at getting a custom-built PC I looked around dino-pc for a while and they gave the best deals I could find for what I wanted. If you do what I did (go through their gaming category, pick the lowest spec one and then raise the specs through the customisation) you'll get the...

    Car vs. Computer

    Genuinely haven't got a reason to have a car, personally. I live in a city so if there were any jobs available I'd work within walking distance. The only thing a car would be is a money vacuum. I would've - and did, for my 18th - pick a PC. Although I was going to uni, so mine was a laptop and...

    Ok, the main character of the last game you played attacked you... How screwed are you?

    Total war: Shogun 2. So.. I guess Takeda Shingen is gonna cut me some new holes?

    Karma,is it real??

    Karma - in the Eastern/Buddhist philosophy sense - is very real. 'Karma' means 'action' and refers to cause, effect and intention. You can't deny cause and effect, and that is essentially what Karma is referring to. As someone said above, if you are nice and do good things, people are likely to...

    Dragon Age 2 what makes you the most angry?

    Nothin' makes me rage about it. Sure, I miss customising the armour of companions, I could've done without the same dungeons being recycled and I don't really like how enemy mages get these super-powers and have no similar spells to you, but otherwise it's a great game to be judged on its own...

    Words you've unknowingly mispronounced.

    Router. I Americanise that one a lot, which annoys me just as much as people saying 'alu-minum' rather than 'alu-min-ium'. Really. As Biffy Clyro aptly put it: There's an I next to the U and M. Looks to me like you were pronouncing it correctly in the first place, unless you're speaking in...

    What "Day" is your Birthday?

    National Day of Hatred (Cambodia) :') It's also the feast of Lucifer, the same birthday as Cher and the day the first prisoners arrived at Auschwitz. Lawwwwd.

    You call THIS a final boss!?

    Mass Effect 2's boss wasn't difficult at all and sort of disappointing. On the harder difficulties bog-standard critters are harder than that battle. Shame, I loved the game. Dragon Age: Origin's final boss fight was a bit of a let-down too. There wasn't very much challenge.

    Unforgivable Gaming Sins

    I hate Tetris. I have always hated Tetris and everything about it. I'm.. I'm so sorry.
