I always thought GAME was a store for kids parents to shop. There are specialist video game shops in every city in the UK that undercut GAME not to mention provide the product earlier with superior customer care. I suppose gaming sales are still governed by the children(s parents) though...

Just wondering really. I've put in 86hrs on my main character but have gone from playing every day to once a fortnight. The constant back and forth fetch quests have become tiresome for me (although I am playing on PS3 so the loading times are maybe more extreme-I have Morrowind and Oblivion for...

I've tried to add the links to all aspects of the Notch/Yogscast thing but it's failed twice now so I'm giving up. It all seems to be a misunderstanding anyway. What a surprise......

There's a certain irony about this self-righteousness but fair enough. I would argue though that it is those who come up with arguments against discriminatory language are more likely to know someone who is discriminated against (as in my case). Do you think that those who use discriminatory...

Hmmm, I don't think that's a problem but fair does. Funnily enough, I was thinking about Stephen Fry as I wrote the post. His defence of the art of swearing is fucking brilliant. "Deal with it" doesn't really bring much to the discussion. Also: I'm Scottish.
