    Xbox One Designed "With Advertising in Mind"

    I'm half-expecting Microsoft's next step will be to announce that the Xbox One requires you to select and watch an advert before you can launch your game, or even that it will interrupt you every hour of playtime with another ad. The Kinect camera would then be used to make sure you really do...

    Diablo III, wait for it... delayed again.

    Much as I want this game, I'm happy to wait for them to consider it ready. I wish the rest of the industry would adopt the "It'll be ready when it's ready" line instead of caving to shareholders, financial forecasts, retail dates and expectations. I'd much rather see a finished and polished...

    Dear Origin, You Stink

    I didn't like it when Valve forced Steam for Half Life 2, but over time I've grown to like and accept Steam. I have most of my games there, can mod freely as it's easy to just reinstall, as well as a friends list which makes multiplayer easy, and while I don't often buy new games (Amazon is...

    Stolen Pixels #226: Chime Chime Chime

    This strip sums up how I feel about Chime. Since playing I've been mentally placing blocks in every space I see, with the music in my head all day too.. argh!

    Poll: Are "Gamer Girls" shooting themselves in the foot?

    This is usually the reason I point out that I'm female.. I hate being referred to as male. If I'm using voice then it's obvious right away, but I tend to only use voice when I'm with friends already, and then I don't care about the few stray randoms and what they might say back. I also...

    Office pets.

    A while back, one of the bosses here let us know he was thinking about getting a puppy. This would mean the pup would be here in the office with us during the day, as quite rightly, the boss wouldn't want to get one then leave it at home. We're a small company with a set of interconnecting...

    Poll: Crying and Gender

    If it's a strange guy crying I would probably avoid them though feel bad for him. If it was a strange woman.. I don't know. The younger, less threatening-looking, the more likely I'd speak to them. I hate seeing people upset, but I tend to avoid approaching strange people...

    Poll: Best friends

    Currently have a smaller number, who are easy to understand. Mostly. I have a larger group of friends too, but just don't talk to them quite as much. None really rated as "best friends" as such, just more like ones I talk to all the time, every day XD , vs ones I talk to some of the time.

    What do you hate?

    I hate that I can't actually vent my real frustrations on here, because all my friends and workmates all know who I am online. I hate that I care about that.

    Dumbest Way You Have Hurt Yourself

    Lol, I do this -.- Messing around with a friend, in a pub, seven years back.. I dug my nails into his hand because he was squashing mine, so he dug his nails in too.. and we were both FAR too stubborn to give in till we had both drawn blood. I still have two little scars from that :S

    UK Elections - The results and musings.

    First off - what a farce, all those people who couldn't vote. Not even a matter of people turning up too late; some had queued for hours and still didn't get to vote. This ^. Been discussing this elsewhere.. The tories have just under half the seats, but the way the seats are won, this could...

    Poll: How many posts do you do a day?

    Voted 1-3, but if you were to include all the days since registering, it's probably below 1.

    What will you feel about chainsawing a woman in Gears 3?

    It depends on the context for me. Male or female - if they're on the enemy side they're going to get it :)

    What's your major?

    English Language and Linguistics, with a 10,000 word dissertation at the end that nearly killed me! ;)
