    We Dare Gets 12+ Rating, Parents Go Nuts

    Oh man, seriously Escapist, stop being so late to the party >.<

    To WoW or not to WoW

    I'd like to throw another 'no' into this. I don't even think it's a particularly good game for a start and I definitely agree with people saying it's repetitive. I think for people with crappy lives it can be a means of escapism because you can take on another life and stick with that for as...

    Buying Rock Band Developer Harmonix Like Catching a Falling Knife, Says EA

    This article is so redundant. Interesting how it ignores the fact he also said that HMX are one of the great developers of all time and that he thinks the music game genre will recover. That falling knife quote was taken out of context. It'd be fine if this had been reported before Kotaku...

    Games for Windows FAIL

    I had the exact same problems trying to install AoE 3. Although possibly even slightly more annoying as after many tries, it happened twice that the download actually completed and THEN it crashed, even taking the effort to get rid of the files it had previously downloaded (I viewed them in a...

    Question of the Day, October 23, 2010

    Talk like a pirate day is really the only sensible option if you want to keep everyone happy. Outside the US people don't celebrate independence day or thanksgiving, Easter is a poor excuse of a holiday & as with xmas it has religious connotations, thus meaning some people wouldn't be feeling...

    You Are Probably Not Using Internet Explorer to Read This

    Chrome ftw. That is all.

    Jonas Brothers win "Worst Band" and "Worst Album" of 2008! EDIT: Oh, shit!

    I agree about the list being sucky. NME really get on my nerves, as do Kerrang! All they do is jump on the bandwagon with the kids, tell them what they want to hear and that's it. I've never seen either display a good piece of journalism. I also don't understand why everyone hates the...

    Poll: Zac Efron as Light in 2011 Death Note Film!?

    My issue isn't with Zac Efron being Light so much, it's more just with them making it at all. They'll slaughter it, fan girls will love it and it could potentially be the next Twilight. Except for the difference of it actually being good in the first place. The whole idea of them doing it...

    Can a guy gamer get a say in this bull?

    Aside from all the other things people have been arguing/talking about in here, the first thing that came to my mind is simply that there are LOADS of games aimed at girls. Pretty much everything Nintendo have to offer these days is aimed at girls - they even have Girls Aloud and Beyonce...

    Poll: Are you a female gammer and do you play the wii?

    I know quite a few female gamers (aside from myself) & none of them play the wii. Or at least, not out of choice - they might play when their younger sibling makes them but that's all. I can believe that statistic though I guess. Thing is, on here you'll get more females saying they play the...

    Sh*t My Dad Says Becoming a Sitcom

    I think it'll be pants. I don't find the twitter feed funny but even if I did, I still can't see this being funny at a sitcom. Not even necessarily awful, just plain not funny. But we'll see, I could be proven wrong. It all just seems like the Simpson's episode where they make the 'Angry...

    Stupidest rule in school...

    Well, when I was at my secondary school it was crap like no coloured hair, no trainers, no jewellery, you had to wear the uniform, no high heels, no short skirts, no make-up, no coloured nail varnish. In the first 4 years they didn't really enforce any of it, but in the last year we got a new...

    The right to bear arms / Do we really need a survey to tell us this?

    Honestly, I've never had to wait to go to the dentist... you automatically get an appointment every 6 months and it really isn't hard to get put in earlier if you're having problems. I think the NHS is a totally wonderful idea and I'd hate to be without it - until you're 18 all treatment is...

    Favorite OBSCURE Movie

    I'm gonna go with 'Disco Pigs' as I currently haven't met anyone else who's seen it other than people I've shown it to. But I know plenty of others must have seen it... anyone? I'm surprised how many films people are considering as 'obscure' that I would say are either just very popular or are...

    Poll: Which image do you like more?

    Number 1 looks a bit messy and so does 3 because of the underlining on the title. You just need it to look neat and have an interesting font, maybe that looks a bit relevant too (you kind of have that with 3). Maybe something like one of these if you want to keep it simple -...
