    Poll: WOW on console

    Personally dont think wow and consoles are a nice fit, but in responce to those saying a console controller wouldnt be viable, i'm not so sure. Cant speak for every class, but as an active, raiding hunter (+ feral tank) i feel i could get by easily enough; main rotation could be mapped to the...

    Fable Rant, Defending Fable 2

    No it certainly wasnt the worst 360 release, but it was certainly one of the 360 purchases i've regretted the most - unlike most of the examples you give it had a complete reversal of expectations, which meant i couldnt dismiss it with a simple 'bad, meh, next' and instead felt lied to, used...

    269: The Pasty White Person Is King

    The whole argument is so race-centric, this is not the way to approach the issue. If the game is of the sort where it benefits from racial diversity and whereapon it makes sence, that's great, fine, if its not imposing race for race's race is just a waste of time making an issue where there...

    looks like Runescape changed... again.

    Does it bother anyone else that on the page linked to you couldn't fire a damn arrow like that archer is about to attempt?

    269: The Pasty White Person Is King

    The examples you give mentioning games in which you can change race but end up looking like a 'dirty-cheeked white person' is not racism of any sort, its prioritising, marketing, these guys only have so much time and budget and modeling other races means building a new character model which most...

    Has Blizzard ever done something visually unique?

    Visually unique - Well thats an odd one and something that made me think quite a bit more than the snap reaction of 'yes, duh'. Depends what we're talking about here, does composition count for instance? I can see where you're coming from for the majority of the time, but as a player it sure...

    What really scares you? (A Survival Horror Genre discussion)

    The feeling of not being the biggest fish in the chain is a VERY important one for not only survival horror, but just about any game that wants to deliver scares and a sense of danger, anyone who's played action horrors of the new resident evil, dead space, hell; singularity etc etc knows that...

    Poll: "X game doesn't last longer than Y And no online? I'm not buying this game!"

    The assumption of opening question is that neither game is going to be great, and 1) if its was great there would be no such discussion, and 2) that short great games have replayability, increasing their length. As such if i'm looking for a decent time sink of course i'm going to try and get my...

    Anime Review: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Part One

    What an odd point in the series to start a review from. Ah well, i'd agree throughout the series there was some major issues in pace, the episodes the first iteration covered were rushed together while there was a lengthy space between the climax and previous set of events where nothing much...

    I Hit It With My Axe: Episode One: Meet the Party

    Just looks to me like an elaborate way for a dude to get a bunch of pornstars over. Failing that? Jeez.. Nout entertaining here.

    Poll: How Good Is Fable II?

    Fix the capitalisation please. Anyway, fable 2 is great fun untill about halfway, or maybe 3/4 of the way through, then it gets very dissappointing very quickly. Not one to look out for.

    Teacher writes "loser" on student's assignment..

    Personally i think that its certainly not something a teacher should do, and there should probably be some action taken the uproar around this is a bit unjustified. To those supporting the hard ass way of school, fair enough, but "loser", really?
