Am I the only one who hasn't had major fps issues? I don't have a particularly good computer but I've got most settings to maximum with shadows toned down and the only (very occasional) problems I've had have been largely temporary (i.e. performance is dragging but there's nothing major on the...

Got to say I actually felt a little restricted with the PvE content of GW2. There didn't seem to be enough stuff to level appropriately without submitting just a little bit to the grind that they've tried to exorcise. I know that grind is always going to be a part of an MMO experience - and they...

I'm gonna try the Norn thief, I reckon. Gonna roll human necro as my main but I want to see the good ol' Shiverpeaks in their updated splendour and want to try one of the new classes. Already had the chance to play as a guardian at Eurogamer (also there's a miniboss that I owe a good...

Imagine how much it blew the minds of the Christian conquistadores to find fully living, breathing, functioning civilisations in South America that still worshipped a whole host of gods and who, in turn, were very much aware of the legacy left to them by still older, vanished, civilisations...

The only good thing about the prequels was that they spawned decent games. 3D films are pointless and make my eyes hurt. I instead choose to weep at the current state of the film industry! Productive, I know.

Invest in a sturdy scratching post. And squirt him with a water pistol if he starts clawing the furniture. Also do not eat food in the same room until he's learnt to behave. I made that mistake when my family got two kittens. He will not be stopped

Kneejerk, shallow response. Your teacher should at least have given you a fair hearing. I'm not a racist but I find white girls (on the whole) more attractive and black girls hardly ever (although Freda Agyeman is pretty hot). Although come to think of it the way the question was framed...

Huh, the Economist is usually a pretty well-researched magazine. Odd that they'd get something so fundamentally wrong. Anyway, my point was that the focus is apparently on their conduct, which is being cited as grounds for negligence, rather than their ability.

I thought the whole issue surrounded the fact that scientists knew - or should have known - that the odds of a major earthquake had dramatically improved owing to small-scale seismic activity (I don't know how it works) and had failed to even consider emergency measures. Source...

Guild Wars offered excellent value for money without a subscription and could suck you in for hours and hours if you liked that sort of thing. Guild Wars 2 is looking like it could be even better. I think the subscription model will lose out to competition if the GW2 experiment and others...

Drink a cup of tea every time you get the craving. You're kept busy by the preparation and at the end of the day you're saddled with a less harmful addiction that doesn't put everyone around you at risk! Unless they break your teapot. Dark things happen then.

Give the man a medal! Yes, I am. I'm not one of those people who get angry at release dates - I have faith in Valve and I got over the issue a long time ago - but I loved Half-Life 2 so I can admit to being a little fatigued by the lack of any news about Episode 3. Portal 2 reminded me how...

Good grief has the whole world gone ubsabe? Do you not find that the milk last approach leaves the tea tasting comparatively STALE?! Madness, sir, madness! *shakes head sadly*

Another excellent topic, sah! As a matter of interest...where do you stand in that immortal milk/tea first debate? It would disappoint me greatly if your awesome fell at such a crucial hurdle.

You could have picked a more appetising picture to represent the finished product, with proper chips rather than supermarket ones. Other than that (and a personal weakness regarding the ketchup issue), I salute you, sir, for getting the message across!
