    Is Outlast Any Good?

    ANYTHING but the Tony Abbot Twins. But yeah, good spooky fun. Keeps you on your toes.

    Army men toys

    Army men were amazing. I loved making them ride on our dinosaur toys or creating mock battalions and coming up with strategy games to play with them. The army guys in the first TOY STORY movie were the part I remember most

    What point in any game/movie/show made you go: "Holy shit."

    That would be a factual, not grammatical error, son. The Third Reich probably doesn't have much to do with the correct terminology of sci-fi blockbusters, either.

    "Dude Breaking Bad, Breaking Bad. You've gotta watch Breaking Bad" NOOOOO!!

    Fans are fans are fans are fans. It shouldn't be too hard to tun them down. It can be annoying as all get-out, sure. But can you say that you've never wanted to share a show you're absolutely nuts about with someone else? Probably a lot of hype is going on because it's finishing for good in a...

    What point in any game/movie/show made you go: "Holy shit."

    Keep in mind I'm only up to season 3 here- Hands down when Hank is in a desperate shootout with the Cartel twins in the middle of Breaking Bad SE3. Holy crap I was squirming and screaming in my seat. Or the plane collision at the end of SE2. OR HOW ABOUT WHEN A GODDMAN LIQUIFIED HUMAN BODY...

    Game suggestions for my mom

    My mum is all about Okami, it's mad pretty but it depends on how well your mum adjusts to console controllers. She also likes to get involved with our more retro games like mario cart or Pokemon stadium. Sure she's terrible at the strategy but she still finds it fun. Try and look for something...

    Shocking experience

    Interesting day you've had. I've had a few experiences like this myself. It's more than a good feeling of helping people who have terrible circumstances, it's helping make the world a better place, which is something we all need. Good on you dude. Maybe you'll run into them again sometime?

    Issues with my mum

    Once you're 18 you are no longer legally obliged to your mother. Try to keep things civil for now, and bide your time. But keep your respect. You can hide the fact you're breaking from fasting- don't draw attention to it and don't put down her beliefs even if yours clash. At the moment keeping...

    Wanting to loose weight

    If running is too hard an activity to maintain from the start (especially on colder mornings, brrrrr!) then there's always a good old fashioned walk around the block with a trusty iPod or MP3 player of choice. Walking with music you really enjoy makes the time and distance go by faster than...

    What should I tell my friend?

    First off, 15 year olds doing anything approaching illegal is never going to be cool. Not sure what kind of girl Susan is, but you said she was peer pressured into participating in such shoddy business, so as least it isn't as bad as it could be. Is it a first time offence? The biggest problem...

    Dying Animations, Your Thoughts.

    Depends, make it too realistic and the gravity of the situation starts to come in, like damn I just killed a guy. No hard feelings, bad dude number 703! But I can't say I generally pay them much attention. I can say that the sprint/tackle takedowns on Saints Row: The Third are favourites...

    Poll: Would you be interested in this book?

    Alrighty then, so in that case you'd be researching the events that took place and writing how people banded together to survive/exploit the situations, yes? It's an interesting idea on a conceptual level but I imagine you'd need to be putting a lot of work into it. How are you setting it...

    Poll: Would you be interested in this book?

    So would these stories entail semi or fully fictionalised accounts of player's experience of the game worlds or focus on the stories of the people who play them? The idea is interesting but we need more detail in order to give some feedback. You may need permissions if you're going to reference...

    Matt Smith to leave Doctor Who at end of the year.

    I find with a long running show with so much fan investment and expectation, it's more a case of the writing than casting. Moffat had his fun, and I still think his best work was more his episodes penned during the Davies era instead of having whole seasons dedicated to his 'Dark Fairytale...
