    Musician's Union Threatens to Expel The Banner Saga Composer

    This is the thing that pisses me off big time, when people abuse a system designed to help the little guy. In jobs where businesses & corporations can treat their works like expendable & invaluable objects a union is essential. Especially if the bosses or managers are narcissistic pricks who...

    Target Australia will no longer stock GTA5

    Just when we finally started getting the good games some fuckwit jumps in to ruin it for everyone. We assume it's a feminist who made this complaint because they know nothing about GTA5 & took no consideration about games that promoted violence against men, because somehow that's ok.

    Most Cringeworthy Moments in games

    It's been mentioned several times & even defended by some FFX tool of a fanboy but yep, The FFX forced laugh scene. This really wasn't the best entry in the series & this scene really didn't help. And before any fanboy suckholes start retorting in it's defense, I have played it through &...

    Academical woes and depressing administrative events :( (Cheer me up :P)

    I failed a math unit in my first year & got the opportunity to do it during summer after finishing my 3rd year. Passing this unit meant I could graduate & start my honours degree this year. Heavy math's isn't my strong suit so I was chuffed to find the online classes a breeze, with really easy...

    'Superior' technology that you dislike or find inferior

    I hate online gaming or having to hook a consol to the internet just to play a game. I hate waiting for updates, i just wanna play my damn game. I dont like DLC, that stuff should already be on the disc as unlockables to make you earn it, not pay for it. And most of all, I just want my game on...

    4 Science Mistakes Star Wars: Episode VII Needs to Fix

    If you're going to knit-pick the scientific violations in star wars then you're severely limiting yourself by only picking four. However, these could easily be cleared up if they were explained in the films (not to give George Lucas anymore bad ideas for the original series). 1. Who is to say...

    What Game Had the Most Wasted Potential

    Id hate to say it becaus its such a beloved classic but, Shadow of the Colossus. The concept of slaying different varieties of monsters, like boss battles, was awesome. But thats all there was too it. There was an entire open world to explore on your horse but nothing in it. It was literally...

    Boss Battles That You Enjoyed Playing

    The End from Metal gear 3: Snake eater. One whole arena where you try to outsmart & outsnipe a sniper. I was addicted to that battle. It just sucked they made it too easy by having him gradually die if it goes for to long. Some of the bosses in Chronotrigger, particularly that one in the sand...

    Has a movie ever uncovered a fear you didn't know you had?

    When I was about 5 or 6 this Tom Petty song first came out & was promoted on morning kids shows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0JvF9vpqx8&feature=player_detailpage I had a sickening aversion to coffee & cake for a while after seeing this disturbing clip. Ofcourse now I dont mind it much...

    Abominations of the food industry

    Dislike: Mayonnaise. I despise this vile oily spooge. I never used to detest it so much before, just didn't like it, until I stumbled upon some universal unwritten law that everything with chicken in it (I love chicken btw) has to have mayo on it whether you want it or not. I almost fired up...

    Disturbing details in games

    True, but it always achieved this with atmosphere & imagery. The concept of massacring children just brought it to that next level of disturbing. It also made the cult more disturbing too, from a bunch of secret devil worshippers posing as members of society like in the first one to a group of...

    Disturbing details in games

    I thought silent hill 4 had an excellent disturbing atmosphere, especially the water prison where the children raised in the orphanage run by the cult were sent to be murdered. Or when you consider that the serial killer Walter Sullivan, who openly butchered two twins with an axe, used to be...

    Games that you've been burnt by

    Being an older more experienced gamer I learned my lesson back in the old days. Men in black for the playstation. In the day when the movie came out & before the internet started to take off games got plugged on normal tv shows, usually aimed at kids & teens. Being a teen with just enough...

    Random BS people say that you get fed up with.

    haha yeah. In the middle of reading this I was thinking of replying with noting that snake venom is natural but then got to your cocktail & figured you pretty much nailed it. Interestingly, after writing this, I just remembered talking to a mate on the weekend about the asbestos in his...
