    Neil Gaiman Joins The Game-Making Biz

    Just a heads up: if anybody is interested in the basic premise of this game, you might want to check out Ghost Master. It's a campy, cartoonish strategy game in which you control a team of various ghosts with different powers, and your "aim" in the missions is usually to scare away the...

    Anybody on Three network? Help a chap out.

    Short version: How on Earth are you meant to access your old voicemail messages?! Tell me your secrets. Long version: Somebody rang me earlier today, but as I was unable to take the call at the time, she left a voicemail message. I've only had my current phone and been with Three for a few...

    The New York Times Criticizes The Last of Us for Having a Male Protagonist

    You missed the point entirely. If a guy is turned off from a product by the mere fact that a woman is on the front cover, that's an issue. They're not judging the game by its genre/story/gameplay/etc., but by something as unimportant as the gender of the protagonist, as though that would somehow...

    Have you been arrested?

    Because clearly, one encounter with one pair of asshole cops means that all the millions of cops across all states and all countries in the world are exactly the same. They don't have individual personalities or shit that normal human beings have; they're just a homogeneous mass waiting to screw...

    movies full of win that noone has seen

    Shit, yes, In Bruges appreciation! This is definitely one of my favourite comedies. Fantastic for all the reasons listed above, as well as it being a really great example of how quickly and smoothly the tone of a film can change from serious and dramatic to funny, and then back again. In other...

    Poll: Do You Like Bad Endings?

    I voted "yes," but only if a bad ending is genuinely fitting. If it's a cheap afterthought in an effort to make the game dark and edgy, then bollocks to it. My favourite is still Silent Hill 2's "In Water" ending, which is an appropriately tragic end to a tragic story, despite also being a...

    Poll: The PS4

    I'm awaiting further announcements, but given that the Xbox One is a definite no-no for me at this point, I'm definitely leaning towards buying a PS4 if I'm looking for a console. I'm going to wait a year or so after the release date before actually buying one, when hopefully there will be more...

    New Vegas: Why Join the Legion?

    Caesar's Legion is definitely one of the biggest weak points in New Vegas. If I remember correctly, there wasn't enough time for Obsidian to flesh them out as much as they would have liked, which is a shame. A few NPCs give you snippets of information about life being generally okay back in the...

    UAE actor evicted from Saudi festival for being too handsome?

    Nobody's posted this yet? Nobody's posted this yet? I'm fighting between the reality of how utterly stupid it was to evict them and acknowledging the possibility that their fear "female visitors could fall for them" was completely legit. Seriously, just look at that guy.

    "This **** will not beat me."

    This is relevant. I just tried playing the original Fallout for the first time, and not even five minutes into the game I was slaughtered by a group of radscorpions on my way to Vault 15. Original reaction of "HOW DO I TURN-BASED COMBAT" quickly switched to "***** is going down." I quit the game...

    Yahtzee Has CRABS!?

    Thank you, I love a good "X IS A DIRTY COMMIE! OMG" thread.

    Yahtzee Has CRABS!?

    The completely random title of this thread literally made me laugh out loud as soon as I saw it. Have you got a link to that? It sounds hilarious and my Google-fu skills have failed me.

    Who's the target audience for bad simulator games?

    I would love an answer to this question. Every time I go and have a gander at PC games, there's always a flood of hilariously bad-looking simulators like Garbage Collector or Road Construction, and I always wonder who the hell buys these things. I'd get one a) just for a laugh, and b) because...

    The worst actor working today

    Orlando Bloom. My love for the first Pirates of the Caribbean film is slightly tarnished by the fact that I can't help but cringe in nearly every scene Will Turner is in. Seriously, it's a Disney film about pirates. Pirates. If that's not a free license to turn the ham up to eleven, I don't know...

    Germany Bans the Xbox 360

    You should have known that this was Goering to be a long thread.
