Happened to me today actually. I was walking home and a little, white-bearded black man passed me the other way, smiled and said: 'Cheer up, sister!' Never met the man before in my life, probably never will again, and I hadn't even realised I was in a bad mood, but it worked! It's nice to know...

I quit WoW because the players there seem to think it's a capital crime to be new at the game. I didn't know anyone personally who played so I couldn't ask them, but when I'd ask what a specific term or abbreviation meant during my first raids I'd be treated like absolute crap. It didn't take...

And to be fair in terms of pre-orders, at least they also released a demo with content that was actually in the damn game, unlike the current shitstorm. But paying in advance when we barely even know what we'll be getting? For extra skins? That's not going to happen.

Oh, awesome! I'd be very happy about a new game like that... provided it actually gets finished this time.

First trilogy? Just how many games are they planning to release? Still, those comments seem pretty sensible: Shepard's story is done, for better or worse. I'll be curious to see what they do with this, and hopefully they'll do something decent with what they've got. I mean, with a world like...

And they have one in the Southern Hemisphere too, it's called most of New Zealand. But yeah, this guy seems to be a bit too high up on the Asshole-O-Meter for me to hold out much hope.

Not a chance in hell either way. I mean, yes it's sexist and immature and I'm rolling my eyes at the bikini (could any woman feasibly wear that? Seriously?), but can you imagine trying to explain that thing to your average person? I'm not offended, I just don't see people believing I'm sane...

I prefer Western RPG's and sometimes platformers over other games, though I will go for something else if it looks interesting. I next to never play FPS games though. 1. Gameplay mechanics 2. Replay-ability 3. Graphics 4. Multiplayer However, the most important thing for me above all...

I'm the same usually. Granted, I don't talk to people here that much, but even when I do I feel like I'm bothering them. Then again, there are exceptions... [sends friend request] You turned us into cheeseburgers. Anyone who turns us into cheeseburgers can't be bad.

Oh boy, here we go... Anonymous was on the warpath within fifteen minutes. They're systematically shutting down government and record company websites in revenge. The RIAA and the MPAA sites are already down. I see this ending well.

What a complete and utter load of rubbish. If EA would just tell the truth: that they don't want to share their DLC profits and want more people using Origin, maybe I might understand. Instead they force my hand by wailing that if Steam won't let them have their way, they'll take their game...

Cumberbatch has said several times that he doesn't want to play the Doctor, which I'm not sure is a good thing or a bad thing. On the one hand, he's already the lead in one of Moffat's shows, so things might get confusing... but on the other hand, I'd love to see his take on the Doctor. OT...

Wait... it's about creating jobs? And there's no First Amendment concern? Good lord, the reading on my bullshit-o-meter is off the charts. Still, I get a feeling that it's less about 'protecting American consumers' and more about this:

Now THIS is what I like to hear! It's epic, exciting, and captures the feeling of the game wonderfully. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play it again. Top form, Gav.

Um... no. No they are not. Pretty much this. Their goal is to wipe out sentient life every 50,000 years whether they like it or not. They steal all the resources and assimilate all life in order to reproduce, and then bugger off to wait for the next round. The only reason they leave their...
