The most interesting thing will not be whether or not someone will buy the diamond chisel - I think that's inevitable, if the cube takes long enough to open. What will be a decent test is how long after opening the object that it takes the winner to disclose to the world what he or she has won...

Psychologically speaking, no-one starts out mentally imbalanced. Sure, this guy had a tough upbringing and various factors within the plot show his descent. I was referring to the survivor on the freighter, who descends slowly. The comic book is far from pointless filler. It's cleverly...

Are you referring to the film here, or have you actually read the comic? The Tales of the Black Freighter is basically a symbolist mirror held up to Rorschach, showing his descent into mental problems, despite his own feeling that he's doing the right thing. He has become a monster fighting the...

Since I view bacon and pork as one and the same thing (You get bacon from pigs grown for ham), I feel that I need to go and pick one of the more speciality meats that I've had over the years. Pork, beef, lamb, chicken and fish all form a part of my regular diet, in various forms, from...

I think that the only tangible way to deal with prequels for Watchmen would be to focus predominantly on the Minutemen and how they got together, woth some of their dynamics, as you only really hav ethe recollections of the first Nite Owl and Silk Spectre, because they are the only ones left...

Another one of these that I wasn't too happy with the outcome of, but it's not as bad as Die Hard Vs Lethal Weapon :P Right, without the Simpsons, there can be no Futurama - that much we are sure of. Groening made Futurama better because when they started, they knew what they were doing with...

This is why every Xmas, I dig out the boxed sets for Lethal Weapon and Die Hard - both are suited for Cmas, being originally set at that time of year and what could be better than some mayhem, involving blood all over the snow? The reason I'd give it to Die Hard over Lethal Weapon - Bruce...

It's easy enough for developers to give you a five second immunity, so you can run away from where you spawned and get into some cover. In real life, I believe that such a shot would have the power to kill, so for realism's sake, yes, this should be kept in the game. Of course, no-one...

That's one of the best things about Zero Punctuation - you never know what is coming next, in spite of top name games beign released, we'll get something independent that most of us have never heard of. Great! Well, at least you admitted that you were nitpicking. I'm going to myself, as a...

A topic where I'm interestingly in the middle ground. I play Lord of the Rings Online, where I can pay for points, to unlock features, while subscribers get points as part of their subscription to spend on things that enhance their gaming experience (Quest packs, Experience boosters, Special...

So the recession claims the highest profile victim to date, possibly. With various European economies on the verge of collapse, this would be by far the biggest scalp, even if Greece does disappear and get bought out by the Germans (you all think I'm bluffing!) I feel that if FOX can't afford...

The second response to the removal of the poster is simple - get a Monty Python and the Holy Grail poster, with the peasant being thrown into the mud and the caption "Help, help, I'm being repressed!" I would love to see the University of Wisconsin's response to that particular poster.

These pictures are absolutely awesome. I'd love to see one for each President, as it would be quite a series. To think of a piece that encapsulates all 43 presidents in all their sci-fi glory. I'd pay money to own a piece like that.

Well, this should make for an interesting funeral. Quite emotional, one should say. <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lYx4ITSeCtw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Navy blue boxers at the moment. I might go and grb my leopardskin thong if I'm feeling particularly racy though.
