    Dad uses Facebook to teach daughter a lesson.

    Oh, absolutely. Britain's in chaos because of all those unruly American children. Damn you Hannah, rebelling against your parents?! What new breed of teenager are you?! Without your skewed sense of entitlement we'd never have had the riots!

    Dad uses Facebook to teach daughter a lesson.

    So his daughter's an immature drama queen...I wonder where she got THAT from? He might have been making a fair point, but the way he made it leaves no question as to why his daughter might have turned out less than perfect.

    Poll: Open worlds: Bethesda or Rockstar?

    Bethesda, because of the mods. If Rockstar allowed people to implement graphic upgrades, quests, landscape modifications etc. in the same vain as Bethesda games, it might be close. As it is, default Bethesda vs default Rockstar might be worth consideration, but once you allow people to...

    Rocksteady Unveils Arkham City's Robin

    I certainly wouldn't have pictured the boy-genius with a shaved head. The top picture on Tim Drake's wikipedia page is as good as "Robin" has ever gotten for me. I was unaware of him since becoming the "Red Robin", who's costume just looks pants-on-head retarded, to be honest.

    Bethesda: Consoles to be the lead platform for Skyrim, aim to make it ?really accessible?

    Not that I expect Bethesda to release a crappy port, but... 1: Console hardware is from 2006. A badly ported game may lumber PC users with sub-par graphics due to catering to the weak hardware in consoles. 2: Control method. Keyboard aside, there are mice with more buttons than an Xbox/PS3...

    Bethesda: Consoles to be the lead platform for Skyrim, aim to make it ?really accessible?

    What surprises me is that people got laughed at for buying Oblivion for consoles due to the lack of mods. The mods make the game and the mods require PC, so for Bethesda to focus on the consoles again instead of going back to the PC makes me wonder if they have some way to get mods onto consoles...

    How is the American War for Independance taught in the UK?

    Didn't we basically let America win in favour of pushing back the french? I didn't stay at school long enough to find out if it was taught there, but apparently we felt we had better things to be doing at the time, let alone considering it of much importance over 200 years later.

    "Controversy" over Portal 2 quote (SPOILERS)

    I imagine it was his adopted chinese daughter who got that far. I doubt he could have passed on enough intellect to his biological offspring to make it to the portal gun...

    "Controversy" over Portal 2 quote (SPOILERS)

    Oh no, the antagonist was antagonizing the protagonist?! This is an outrage! How dare they include such a thing in their game! What do they expect? "Pthppppt, you're a stoopid doodie head!"?

    Poll: Emotion in acting - Film or Stage?

    Music/Books Film/theatre have rarely managed to get me to the same places that music and books can.

    Eurovision 2011 - Any Escapists watching?`

    Swap it around like so... "What is the point of the *Insert NFL/NHL/NBA etc. here*? I'm from Europe.. All it really seems to be is some pointless contest between the American teams and some others (like Canada. How do they count?)." Most contests are ultimately pointless. That doesn't...

    Trailers: Star Wars: The Old Republic: Jedi Knight Progression

    Wow. Laughably bad animation unless a lightsabre's being swung around... This is the only game I know where the trailers actually manage to damage the hype rather than add to it.

    Poll: Black Mesa vs. Aperture Science

    Between Half Life, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, HL2, Episode 1 and Episode 2 there's been six games to build up a story around Black Mesa, and yet in the space of 2 games Portal's given more background, character and interaction with Aperture Science. It feels unfair to declare Aperture the...

    China Bans Time Travel (Movies)

    Here's a thought. In the future, time-travelling stories would have been part of chinese history, but by banning them, the chinese government has frivolously changed the future history of china. The very existence of this ban is in direct violation of the reasons this ban was brought into...
