    Keyboard, Mouse and Gamepad Combine to Form World's Most Awkward Controller

    Who let the intern design the contorller? And the official site has the audacity to call it ergonomic?!

    Watching It's a Wonderful Life this year will have a slightly different feel. How's Clarenece going to get his wings now?

    Poll: This is why I don't like World of Warcraft:

    Levelling new characters became a chore too as the vast majority of everything other than the endgame is empty. For someone who was there on day 1 it felt sparse and that I might as well be playing a single player game. I think some of the earlier instances are much more entertaining but...

    Lets talk about: Stephen Fry!

    Never, never forget Jeeves and Wooster. Written by one of the best wordsmiths ever, brilliant tv show and there are some other great adaptations - check out the radio plays with Richard Briers, they must be 40 years old now but are still as good as ever. Anyway OT: Yeah he's great! I...

    More on Halo: Reach

    I agree completely with yahtzee that games should stand on their single player, as it's a true test of a developers ability to design the environment and AI. To rely on the multi-player side of things is to rely on players finding the right balance between themselves and disown any need for the...

    Unskippable: Let's Play: Legaia 2: Part 1

    And that was the only reason I was thinking of getting a membership!! Ah well I'll probably bite and take the plunge as I think the LRR guys are worth supporting - and those damned Social Network adverts are getting on my nerves - just when I thought I couldn't hate Facebook anymore...

    Unskippable: Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War

    Spot on vid. Got the game and love the strikingly bad voice acting. Whilst I expect 'english accent = Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins' the Barkeep accent is comically bad. Somewhere between the English Policeman in Allo-Allo and John Cleese's Frenchman in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. If...

    Horrible games as punishment

    Without a doubt - Desert Bus. Don't foget to check out desert bus for hope (http://desertbus.org/) when the ENN/LRR guys and gals play it for charity for days on end.

    Halo 2600 Brings Seriously Old-School Action

    Loved the attempt at the theme tune.

    Poll: Rickrolling

    Like most internet fads, started off as a bit fun and offbeat but got done to death. My usual response was to just sigh and hit the baxck button, but LOL'd once or twice when a mate has set me up.

    LoadingReadyRun: Videogame Fighting Tournament

    Don't fancy the Ninja's chances, all you have to do is duck and he's done. - even ends up hitting the wrong guy in the end.

    1st video game

    On arcade - Rally X, I was 3 or 4 and could barely reach the controls. On a home computer/console I think it was River Raid either on C64 or Atari 2600. 2 rather dull games to have truned me onto gaming!

    Poll: The Escapist video intro: Love it or hate it?

    Bit bored of it as it trails every video. Kind of like when you get ads at the beginning, just gets in the way of the vid that you want to watch. Understand the need for them but still wish they weren't there.

    Question of the Day, August 1, 2010

    Would give it a try but can't really see it being anything more than a bad gimmick going the same way as the power glove.

    What is your favorite sad song?

    Für Elise by Beethoven - granted it's a composition not a song. Was also going to mention the triumphant by Royskopp but this is a composition too. Maybe I can't get into sad songs?!
