    Poll: Do you have a phobia?

    I have a fear of deep water, specifically the ocean. I'm fine in swimming pools, and in shallow water, but put me in a large body of water where I can't see the bottom and I get the creeps. On a related note, I'm utterly terrified of shipwrecks. Just looking at one gives me chills.

    "Wait, I can do that?"

    I had a friend who did the precise same thing too. He told me how he didn't like Fallout 3 very much because he was constantly having to haul-ass all the way across the Wasteland to get anywhere. Then I told him about fast travel and it pretty much blew his mind. The best part of it was that...

    Poll: Favorite drink containing alcohol

    I put myself in the "I don't drink" category, because I rarely ever drink anything with alcohol in it, and when I do, it's usually just a Smirnoff Ice. The reason being I cannot handle alcohol at all, so if I were to drink a 'proper' drink, It'd only end badly.

    Any GOOD fanfics out there?

    To quote Yahtzee: Short answer, no. Long answer, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. In my experience, all fanfic devolves into one of three categories 1) Fanshipping, where the author shoehorns their ideal romantic character pairings into...

    Best Movie Licensed Game?

    X-Men Origins: Wolverine for me. It was everything the movie should have been: bloody, visceral, uncompromising in it's violence. Other than that, I actually quite liked Spider-Man 3; it was the sheer size of the Manhattan area that you could explore that endeared me. Of course, Spider-Man...

    Calling all single people, what are you doing to survive the 14th?

    I'll probably do what I usually do on Valentine's Day: Spend it developing an intense, burning hatred for the rest of humanity whilst simultaneously wallowing in the vast ocean of my own self-pity.

    What's With Everyone Wearing Headphones Recently?

    Eh, I think it's a fashion thing, really. I wear headphones, but that's because headphones deliver waayyyy better sound-quality than earbuds.

    Titan-Fueled Joker Heads Up New Batman Toy Line

    Close, but not quite. If you get beaten by him in his boss fight, in the death-screen he says "Death is cold, Batman." I don't think the Mr. Freeze character will ever escape he spectre of Batman & Robin. :( They did. He was in the Arkham Asylum series of toys, released about a year ago.

    Poll: What age did you start playing M rated games

    Let's see, the first 18-rated game I got was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, so I'll have been about 13 or 14. Thing is, by parents bought me it completely out of the blue because they thought I'd be put under peer-pressure. I hadn't asked for it, I wasn't even particularly interested in it...

    Twisted Metal Coming With PSN Pass and a Day-One Patch

    No, I'm not a games-developer, but I am in fact studying to be one. The last videos I've seen for this game were from about 12 days ago, and the physics system was utter shite, even by Twisted Metal's standards; I hardly think that's going to be able to be put in a patch. The graphics are also...

    Twisted Metal Coming With PSN Pass and a Day-One Patch

    It's not that I don't have the patience to wait for a 10-minute download, it's because with a game as, frankly, simplistic as Twisted Metal, delaying it to develop it further, and then needing a day-1 patch is a good indication of a lack of proper development.

    Games you want, but are not willing to pay full price for.

    Awesome! And rightly so, considering in the comics he's on par with the Hulk and Jean Grey in terms of power.

    Games you want, but are not willing to pay full price for.

    Well you said it yourself, Driver: SF doesn't have their DRM on it. Neither did Rayman Origins.

    Games you want, but are not willing to pay full price for.

    If that's your opinion on Ubisoft (and it's mine too), then do what I did with Rayman Origins; buy it second-hand. You still get a great game at a reduced price, but Ubisoft don't see a penny of it! It's an even bigger flaming-fuck-you-finger in their faces!

    Games you want, but are not willing to pay full price for.

    Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3; largely because I'm a massive Ghost Rider fan, but I don't want to give Capcom a single penny.
