For as long as there have been means to capture an image of oneself, there have been people who decided to use those means to immortalise their various bits and bobs. Going with the assumption that all the celebrities involved in this are consenting adults who willingly took pictures/had...

I am pretty unfit, but it's mostly due to my own laziness than anything else. I can run for the bus without having a heart attack so I reckon that's not too bad for being from Scotland. I like walking though. Give me a 5 mile walk through some woods over a run round the block any day.

I can see why they've done it and, in a way, it is a good thing. If a couple of missions are being endlessly replayed just for people to boost cash then they are more than obliged to step in and balance the playing field. The problem with doing it right now is that there is only a finite number...

The weird thing is, there are easily a larger number of Android phone users vs the number of iPhone users. Only releasing your app for that one platform more than halves your potential customer base. Even if they're free apps that's a lot of free marketing you're missing out on.

The second Wheel of Time book: The Great Hunt. Everything after the first two chapters felt like a slog and I ended up giving up not long after. Toss in the fact that the first book felt like it summed up pretty much everything anyway, and it became both dull and pointless.

Because it's been horrendously over-fished due to high consumer demand. The high demand means it will sell for high prices and as a result fishermen wanted to keep catching it to make a lot of money. However, the over-fishing leads to an overall decrease in the quality of stocks. This is why...

I tend be to dull and uninteresting in my postings so for the most part the mods just ignore me.

As far as I can remember, for the most part the vast majority of tennis matches for both men and women are best of three sets. That only changes for the grand slams for reasons that escape me. I'm totally fine with the women's champion getting paid the same as the men's. The level of the...

Evolution is not a belief. It is a scientific theory that has accumulated evidence for and against through empirical testing of hypotheses. To date the evidence in favour outweighs the evidence against and hence it is accepted as the best model for how life has developed. You can't "believe"...

I think some of her blood would have been enough. Regardless of whether it took root in the brain or not, it would be her immune system that's the interesting bit. Presumably, it was capable of keeping the infection in check and would likely have a good starting point. While one could argue the...

I intensely dislike the word "only" being used in arguments like this. While I agree with you that the problems aren't equal in size, it doesn't mean that those in one group as a result deserve less support than the other. Even if it's "only" 160,000 men, that makes the total number of human...

This. Letting her keep the knife made sense. While Joel could easily pummel folk into submission with his fists, Ellie has neither the reach or the strength to do so. With the knife she's got at least a chance of holding her own if needed. I found she did jump on things and go stab happy...

I absolutely loved Last of Us. The only possible niggle I have is entirely due to doing a PhD in medical science-y stuff: Apart from that though, we need more games with the sort of story-telling calibre as Last of Us. Though hopefully it doesn't start a trend of strongly written...

Valve is but one choice out of many. If you want an Xbox One, there's only Microsoft's way. No alternative. Also, Steam offline mode only needs a monthly check-up and they seem to get the fact that digital games should be cheaper than a disc based copy. Good luck hoping for MS to realise that.

Because the elitist handarchy dictated that the left is evil and bad, to move to the right is the one true course. (I refuse to confirm or deny that I may be left handed.) But yeah, I remember hearing about AC10's numerical explanation before. Makes sense that they code it in the most...
