    Trailers: Aliens: Colonial Marines - Contact Trailer

    Pretty cool-looking cinematic trailer. Somewhat reminiscent of the Dead Island trailer in style. I'm ok with trailers not showing off any gameplay, as their purpose is purely marketing.

    You Too Can Backstab In Dust 514

    Crikey, that cinematic kinda overdoes it on the grey/brown colour palette. The screenshots at least do look better, but why on earth would they make it a PS3 exclusive? I suppose trying not to steal their current PC market share by dragging players away from EVE. It's a shame since I'd be pretty...

    Movie Trailers: Decay - Trailer

    It's a amateur film done on a budget of ~£2k by a bunch of PhD students on site at CERN. And apparently it's already been released online for free viewing. So yeah, whilst that was definitely some hammy acting and dodgy visuals, it doesn't look too bad for a student film. Would have preferred it...

    Escape to the Movies: Killing Them Softly

    I assume he was doing a Boston accent (I'n guessing here as a non-american) due to the setting location of the film he was reviewing. I must say though, his usual accent is much easier on the ears and overall far less distracting.

    Space Janitors: Episode 7

    In Star Trek, "Gul [http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Cardassian_ranks#Gul]" is the rank of Commander in the Cardassian military hierarchy, of which Gul Dukat [http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Dukat] is the most well known. The rest is play on words of "cul-de-sac...

    Jimquisition: Why Do People Hate EA?

    And it barely even touched upon Origin, its DRM, its privacy invasions, EAs removal of games from steam, strong-arming gamers to use the new service. And then EA have the gall to go and attack Valve for steam's service to fans...

    Game of Thrones Characters Compared to U.S. Political Figures

    For those of us who are not american, could we get some names to go with those faces? Apart from Obama, Palin and Clinton, I have not got a clue who any of them are.

    Space Janitors: Behind the Scenes Episode Two

    I'm really not interested in seeing any behinds the scenes stuff until after I've watched the item in question. That would be after a film or after the end of a season's run. Here's why: - I want to learn about the characters/events by watching them, not by being told about them. - I don't...

    Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary Review

    An open comment to the reviewer, Russ Pitts. I respectfully disagree with the comparison between Android and iPhone. For myself, I have always disliked the feel and layout of the iphone, so when I got my first HTC Desire it felt like a breath of fresh air and by far the superior option. And...

    Battlefield 3 Open Beta Begins With Advice from DICE

    Looks pretty. Will be buying if/when it appears on Steam.

    Battlefield 3 Is "Grounded In Authenticity"

    If EA put this game on Steam (and the price is not extortionate) I'll get it. Otherwise I'll just let this one pass me by. Which is a shame, from the videos I've seen it looks pretty shiny.

    EA Confirms No Battlefield 3 on Steam

    I buy pretty much all my games of Steam now, with a few choice ones from Battle.net. The service is excellent and Valve really knows gaming. When the two sides start bashing it out, I know who I stand with. It'll be Steam or not at all, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't hoping EA will...

    Stolen Pixels #224: An Incredible Value

    Unclear? It states this fact (+$10/year) in both the first panel of the comic and the 2nd paragraph of the associated text. How much clearer does it need to be? Tbh, if there's any issue of clarity in the community then MS should have presented the hike as a [$10 /12 months =] 83 cent (or...

    I Hit It With My Axe: Episode Two: F*ck. A Medusa.

    I dunno, I actually dound it quite entertaining. I think quite a bit of it is down to the editing though. "I need to know a little bit more about the political structure of the goblin city..." heh :)

    Poll: How unique is your surname?

    I'm in a facebook group for people who share the same *full* name as myself (allowing for some slight spelling variation). This group has 63 members. And no, it's not "Smith".
