    Rise of the Tomb Writer

    Is there something about Pratchett's writing that is problematic? I haven't played the latest Tomb Raider, but I remember finding Overlord hilarious, and I think she wrote that.

    Robert Rath's "Critical Intel" column leaves The Escapist

    Welp, that's probably it for me. I loved reading his columns every Friday morning before lectures. At this point, I'll only be coming for Shamus and Critical Miss, and less than one piece of content every second day definitely isn't worth a PubClub membership. To those that haven't read his...

    Question for the British Escapists.

    And for an example of the pronunciation of "jumper", I'll leave this here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxmZZBJQAKM

    Can you play any videogame music?

    I can play "Dearly Beloved" from Kingdom Hearts on piano and the original Super Mario theme as a fingerstyle guitar arrangement. I found sheet music of "Positive Force" from VVVVVV a few years back, but it was in E flat minor, and had a crazyass rhythm that was way beyond my capabilities.

    8 Defunct Developers We Wish Were Still Around

    A few of these were publishers, not developers, if memory serves. Hitman, for example, was (and is) developed by io Interactive, and Batman: Arkham Asylum by Rocksteady. All Eidos did was publish them.

    What does everyone have against Duncan?

    I didn't like Duncan simply because I thought his voice acting was terrible. I realised early on that I'd probably fall asleep if he had a monologue, his voice as so flat and lifeless. Then again, I pretty much hated DA:O, so my reasons should be taken with that caveat.

    Things you love so much you don't want to analyze them

    The album "Boys and Girls in America" by The Hold Steady. I have never been blown away by any piece of media like I was when I first listened to this album. It just sounded so... big, as if it was being played by an orchestra in a stadium. I've purposefully avoided learning any of the lyrics...

    Jak and Daxter Collection or Sly Cooper Collection?

    Well, I've played them all except Sly 1, and my vote would go to Jak and Daxter. With regards to the first Jak game, I'm somewhat blinded by nostalgia, The Precursor Legacy being the game I got with my PS2 on that Christmas morning 12 (12! - makes me feel a bit queasy thinking about it...

    Poll: Would You Rather? - 2

    Be a Dragon. But only if it's a Golden Dragon from the Witcher games. And since I forget how to do spoiler tags every time I need them, I'll leave it at that.

    Scientists Capture First Photo of Photosynthesis Occuring

    Should that be two Hydrogen molecules (H20) or have I just misread something? Otherwise, this is awesome.

    Far Cry 4: See the First Five Minutes - Update Gameplay!

    Whoa, this looks awesome. The only way to top Vaas it seems, is to make a Vaas who understands style. And pink.

    Celebrate Two Years of Diablo III With Undiscovered Easter Eggs

    Thanks, I never knew there was an enter at the end. And oh, how it it worth it.

    Celebrate Two Years of Diablo III With Undiscovered Easter Eggs

    So... I'll take the bait. Is the Konami code easter egg actually working on the site? I've tried it in at least five different pages and no red button. Or is it just a joke at random idiots' (i.e. me) expense?

    how many students do we have here?

    Studying for 1st year exams and working towards a BSc in Physics and Maths. At least, I'm meant to be studying now, rather than reading random threads and Cracked articles.

    NBC Cancels Community

    Well, I stopped watching after the end of Season 3, so I didn't help its ratings in any way. Not having seen Season 4, I can't say what effect Dan Harmon's removal had on the show, but with the way the third season went, I don't know if all the blame should be put on the studio who removed him...
