    Stuff you wish you owned.

    I want a rack of Japanese swords. I think they include a katana, a wakizashi, and a knife-like blade, but you know the thing I mean. These: I just really like Japanese swords. They're so elegant and balanced, absolutely beautiful things. I wouldn't go swingin' em round all the time...

    Awkward and Useless Superpowers

    My liver glows blue in the presence of Orcs. There is technically no existing proof that this isn't true... My career as The Puppetmaster, anally-intrusive supervillain extraordinaire, will leave no rectum unsullied.

    "Games are a luxury item." So?

    This sentence is my favourite of all the sentences. I'm not vastly bothered or put off by game prices. If I like a game enough to buy it at (or very near) release, then the ~£40 price tag doesn't do much to deter me. Anything else, I pick up for less than £30 at whatever point in the future...

    I want to get Diablo II

    If you get the Lord of Destruction expansion they bump it up to 800x600 Which... isn't... great but hey, progress is progress. Diablo II is easily among my all-time favourite games. I strongly recommend it, but it really is about what you're into.

    Poll: So... Diablo 3 or Torchlight 2?

    I can't believe there's no 'both' option... But at the moment I only have enough cash for Diablo 3, which very firmly wins it for me. Definitely going to get Torchlight 2 as soon as I can, though.

    Never forget your first...

    You think that's bad? My first game was a 32-in-1 cartridge for the Nintendo Game Boy. That's the 'cheap, infected prostitute your friends bought you as a joke' of game virginities.

    Poll: So Diablo III is two weeks away

    I've been waiting for Diablo 3 for 10 years. Call me a slave to brand loyalty, but I kind of have to. Not that I'm getting it just for that, of course. I'm getting it because I know for certain that I'm going to love it, and even if I wasn't sure I've got it pre-ordered for £23 so hey, may as...

    Poll: Is treating women in Gentlemanly way Sexist?

    I never got this double standard in particular. The implication being that you shouldn't hold doors for guys? Fuck that. Doors are difficult and confusing. Hold them for everyone.

    Games That Are So Good You Bought Then Twice

    Well, I got Left 4 Dead 2 on Xbox when it came out, and then quite recently on PC as well. I got the Orange Box on Xbox, and later built up all the games of which it is comprised on Steam. When Skyrim came out, I got it for my birthday on Xbox and then bought the PC version for myself. I have...

    Actions in Games That Made You Physically Uncomfortable.

    This is on the edge of not counting, but I'm pretty massively arachnophobic and so although I can bear to run right up to Skyrim's spidersAs horrifically grotesque as they are and kill them, walking my character over the corpses makes me squirm. It's ridiculous, but I can genuinely feel them...

    Poll: Diablo III - Plans

    I have been waiting for this since I was seven. That is literally more than half of my life. So naturally it comes out the day before my big-ass important exams start ¬_¬ * Monk first, male. I played them all through the Beta and the Monk was by far my favourite. * I'll play single-player...

    What are you reading? What books have you got lined up?

    We recently read Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner in English Literature and I enjoyed it immensely, so now I'm reading A Thousand Splendid Suns. I'm barely into it, only a few chapters, but it's shaping up well.

    Writing on the wall - A chance to be a part of Escapist history!

    I'd like to be in there as Cheesus333 please. If there's still room, and all. CAPTCHA: Alive and kicking Pretty appropriate, I guess

    Would you purposely name your child with something exotic or from a video game etc?

    If it's a reasonable name I could definitely go with a reference, yeah. But I draw the line at 'Chell' for what I consider reasonable

    The last way you died in a videogame is how you are going to die IRL

    Playing Tribes: Ascend most recently. I remember not what killed me, nor in what manner, but the very nature of that game guarantees one thing beyond absolute certainty: it was fast.
