    Jimquisition: Better Does Not Mean Good

    As usual - awesome episode that uses the effective technique of ... erm, simple logic to prove its point that so many people can't seem to understand. Also, the subtle product placement made me genuinely laugh out loud! Thank God for Jim.

    IGN Gives Uncharted 3 a 10 out of 10

    Why does everything have to be conspiracy! If a game gets a good review, why is the first thing that jumps into peoples minds is that the reviewer was bought off? And to people bringing up that every triple A flagship game ends up with good reviews, why on earth is that suspicious? The fact...

    Shit just got real moments in video games.

    Anytime whilst playing Arkham Asylum when you don't get hit during a fight. The standout was probably the final round of that challenge room with the two massive guys - I have no idea how I did that all in one combo. Also whilst I did get hit a few times, the bit where you walk down the...

    Is it worth getting a PS3

    I would recommend it. Great exclusives yes, but in my opinion the killer feature is its a blu ray player as well. And said blu ray player keeps getting updated through patches, meaning - although I can only dream of actually having one :( - if you ever got a 3D TV its also a 3D blu ray player!

    Arkham City... WTF?!

    These are the types of pre-order bonuses that really annoy me. I posted this somewhere else in a thread about pre-order bonuses, and think it applies well here. And to the people who don't see it as a problem, think of it like this, you are a fan of the game - you want all the content available...

    Is My School Allowed to Do This?

    I don't think stuff like that is anything new - they monitored internet access back when I was at secondary school years ago. Also I cant say I see a problem? They are not monitoring your internet access in your free time, they are only making sure you are behaving sensibly and doing your...

    Poll: Family Guy, yay or nay?

    I vote yay! No, its not as good as it once was, but then again not much is. (I mean most stuff usually gets worse over time, I'm not saying early Family Guy was better than most stuff :P) At the end of the day it can still be really funny, and even if the newer ones aren't as good that...

    Poll: Would you kill an infant if it meant saving the lives of a large group of people?

    I'm surprised Torchwood: Children Of The Earth hasn't been brought up. I would definitely recommend it if you haven't seen it. Its very dark for a spin off of Doctor Who, but very well done. SPOILERS If I remember correctly, Captain Jack has to choose between the life of his grandson, or...

    Scariest moment in a non-horror game

    I remember the dream sequences from the first Max Payne. I remember theres a bit where you have to follow a trail of blood thats like a maze, but if you fall off a baby screams. It probably doesn't, but it definitely felt like each time you failed, the scream was louder and went on for longer...

    Censorship - Make Up Your Mind!

    Yeah I'm regretting bringing it up now, I'll just clarify that I said "necessarily". If they were completely unaware of it, I'm trying to point out it would still be 100% wrong, horrible, and completely justifiable to be censored / banned. I'll speak no more on the matter, in fear of getting...

    Censorship - Make Up Your Mind!

    I apologise in advance for another extreme example, but surely "all or nothing" censorship includes extreme cases, otherwise if there were exceptions, it wouldn't be all or nothing. Child pornography. It doesn't necessarily cause any harm to anyone, and some people like it. That doesn't...

    Censorship - Make Up Your Mind!

    To restate the point I was trying to make earlier on in the thread. Isn't the law part of censorship? - Some people decided certain things were wrong and (rightfully) made them illegal. Isn't this similar? Edit: Obviously to a smaller extent but still.

    Censorship - Make Up Your Mind!

    How am I being a hypocrite? I simply believe there is a line, which if crossed by any medium - films / TV/ games / whatever - then censorship is acceptable. If I changed the position of the line depending on whether or not I like the thing in question then I would be, but simply not agreeing...

    Censorship - Make Up Your Mind!

    Erm... no I did not say that? In context I was making an point at how subjectivity and peoples right to like what they want shouldn't override common sense. (admittedly using an extreme example). And no, the games you mentioned (Portal... really?) should not be banned for being too violent...
